Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1275

Don't worry, I'm just a little overwhelmed. I'm fine. Just please go out for a bit and let me be alone.

I need to process everything that happened today."

Sabrina desperately wanted to stay and comfort her daughter, but hearing Bella's words, she had no choice but to step back.

Reluctantly, she exited the room.

The other maids were dismissed as well.

Sabrina had a gut feeling that after Lillian forced her to apologize, she must have gone to see Noah, and something explosive must have happened to send Bella spiraling like this.

Determined to find out, she immediately called Martin Mercer at the office.

Realizing the severity of the situation, Martin handed the phone to Brandon Mercer.

Brandon's voice came through the line, cold and detached. "Ms. Ward, Bella is fine.

It's just that her cheap, pathetic little schemes were completely exposed by Sebastian.

He despises her now—you should know that.

Everything she did to Noah was bound to come out eventually.

You don't need to worry, because none of it matters anymore.

Noah will repair his relationship with Lillian. If you two are still plotting something, save your breath. It's over!"

With that, Brandon hung up.

Listening to the dial tone, Sabrina practically seethed with rage.

She had thought Lillian was finally going to suffer today, but Sebastian had caught them red-handed.

No wonder her precious daughter looked so devastated.

She came home, locked herself away, and drowned her sorrows in alcohol because her heart was broken.

Only then would they have money again.

Sabrina stood in the hallway, her mind racing with schemes.

Inside the room, Bella had slid off the sofa and was sitting on the floor, leaning heavily against the cushions.

She poured herself another glass of liquor, desperate to numb her senses.

The trauma of actually slicing through flesh and blood had caused a massive emotional crash.

The suffocating despair refused to fade.

But she needed to stay somewhat sharp. Debbie's ransom note had a strict deadline of tonight.

She had to be ready. If Sebastian actually transferred the cash today, she had to empty Debbie's account immediately.

The money wasn't real until it was safe in her own hands!
