Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 125

This was the first time Bella had come to Lillian's company since it was founded.

The office wasn't far from the Blake Group, located in the same district.

The office buildings here were expensive, a prestigious area recognized throughout the tech industry. Nearly every tech company with any reputation had an office here.

But Bella had never seen a startup choose this location.

Nathan was just throwing money around, willing to spend a fortune just to play around with Lillian.

He bought her prime real estate for her little game.

And then spent even more to hire a tech legend for her.

She couldn't help but wonder, what was so special about Lillian? They were both women, after all.

She was divorced with a child, yet Nathan didn't seem to mind one bit.

He treated her so well, as if he intended to marry her.

Meanwhile, her own relationship with Sebastian was still up in the air.

Waiting downstairs, Bella hoped for a chance encounter with Victor.

She had considered other methods, but after checking her contacts, she found no one who knew him.

So, a chance encounter was her only option.

To Bella's surprise, Lillian, the boss of a startup, clocked out right on time.

The moment she saw Lillian leaving the building, Bella, sitting in her car, forgot to hide and just laughed.

Was she just playing at running a company?

Who else did she know, a startup founder, who was more punctual about leaving work than her employees?

Clocking out on the dot... though there was a small benefit to it.

It would be easier for Bella to catch Victor when he left work.

But Bella waited in front of the office building until almost ten at night and still didn't see him come out.

At this point, even if she did run into him, it was too late for a proper conversation.

Giving up, Bella drove back to the hotel.

It had been an unproductive day, and Bella was fuming.

Ironically, Sabrina seemed to be in a good mood today.

She held out a hand, showing off a massive diamond ring. “Martin proposed today. He said the divorce is already in motion. As soon as it's finalized, we're getting married.”

Bella glanced at the ring. It was indeed large and sparkling.

Women seemed to have a natural weakness for shiny things.

Bella couldn't tell the diamond's clarity or grade, but she knew a diamond that big wouldn't be cheap.

It should have been a happy occasion, but Bella couldn't bring herself to feel joy.
