Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1338

Old Mr. Blake's words were harsh. As soon as he finished, he slammed the table again and stormed off.

Hearing the commotion, Old Mrs. Blake hurried over.

"What is going on with you two? You start arguing the second you see each other. Weren't you supposed to be solving a problem? Why all the yelling?"

Old Mr. Blake was absolutely furious. The most repulsive thing that had ever happened to him was being set up by Debbie.

And now Sebastian had the audacity to throw it in his face.

Sebastian was practically accusing him of inviting the betrayal.

It was no wonder the old man was livid.

"It's karma. I must have committed some terrible sin in a past life, and now I'm paying off the debt," the old man grumbled as he stormed away.

Old Mrs. Blake looked at Sebastian, already guessing what had sparked such an explosive reaction from her husband.

She walked over and looked at him. "Sebastian, you aren't a child anymore.

"You're a father now. I don't expect you to fully understand him, but he's getting older, and his health isn't what it used to be.

"From now on, I want you to speak to him with respect. Think before you open your mouth. Some things just shouldn't be said.

"He's already carried a burden that was never his to bear. Do you understand?"

Old Mrs. Blake naturally defended her husband. She had thoroughly investigated the events of that year.

Debbie was like a fly she had been forced to swallow.

But she and her husband shared a true love. They were partners who had built a life together from a young age.

She had wanted to blame him too. She had blamed him, gotten angry, and even left him at one point. But eventually, she realized it was all just a cruel twist of fate.

In the end, she compromised, returning to his side so they could face it together. They had made it this far.

On his way back to the company, Sebastian couldn't shake the suspicion. Could Debbie have been held by someone else first? Someone like Bella?

That woman was far more manipulative than he had ever imagined.

He had always kept his guard up around Bella in the past.

If he hadn't, she wouldn't have managed to trick him into signing that marriage certificate.

That single piece of paper was a nightmare.

Because of it, he couldn't even pursue Lillian openly. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Two sharp knocks on the window shattered his thoughts.

He looked over and saw Lester Ross standing outside the car.

Rolling down the window, Lester leaned in. "Mr. Blake, you've been parked here for almost half an hour. Security called to ask me to check if you were alright."
