Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1308

As Lillian processed the gruesome image, the pieces rapidly clicked together.

Noah's hysterical rant about a murderer and dismembered bodies—did that mean he had actually seen Debbie's severed fingers?

But this happened in a hotel room. How on earth did Noah see them?

Was Sebastian involved?

Impossible. Given Sebastian's personality, he would never conspire with Bella.

He was desperate to sever ties with her and couldn't wait to finalize their divorce.

There was no way he would team up with Bella regarding anything involving Debbie.

But if he wasn't an accomplice, how did Noah know about it?

Lillian pondered for a moment, a faint smile touching her lips. Instead of guessing, she'd just ask the source.

She drafted a quick text to Brandon.

Keeping him off her block list was finally proving useful.

[Find a way to ask Noah why he called me a murderer and said Sebastian was my accomplice. What exactly did he see? And what did Sebastian say about it?]

Brandon replied almost instantaneously.

He agreed immediately.

After leaving Halfridge Villas that morning, Brandon hadn't gone back to the office, leaving Colin in charge of daily operations.

He was too anxious about bringing Noah into the Mercer household. He feared Bella might try to make contact, which would ruin everything with both Sebastian and Lillian. So, he had stayed home to stand guard.

Noah seemed much happier at the estate. Martin and Brandon were doing their best to accommodate him, carefully curating a menu tailored to his delicate health.

Brandon sat down next to Noah and asked gently, "Noah, can you tell Uncle Brandon why you called your mom a murderess?"

Noah tilted his head, visibly annoyed.

Why were his dad and grandfather suddenly singing the exact same tune?

Why was everyone suddenly defending her?

They never used to act like this.

What changed?

Desperate for answers to Lillian's questions, Brandon pressed on. "Noah, this morning you said your dad was an accomplice. Why did you say that?"

Noah's patience snapped.

He had finally found a comfortable place where he could eat his favorite snacks and play with his Legos in peace, and now they wouldn't stop pestering him.
