Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 141

Lillian couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

Only now did she understand that, in his eyes, she had already thrown herself into another man's arms.

In an instant, Lillian's expression turned cold.

"Sebastian, I don't have time to argue about this with you. You've been protecting Bella for years, and we've already started the divorce proceedings.

The divorce is a done deal. There's been no turning back for us since the moment you chose to send me to prison.

Therefore, you have no right to control me. The five minutes are up. I've given you the answer you wanted—there's nothing wrong with my health.

Can I get out of the car now?"

Sebastian's face was pale with anger. Lillian hadn't even bothered to deny that she was involved with someone else.

He yanked her hand away from the door handle and warned sharply, "Lillian, I'm warning you, we are not divorced yet. We are still husband and wife. Not only are you obligated to fulfill your marital duties if I ask, but you can't even imagine how I'll make you suffer if you try to cheat on me.

You should understand this. As the man in charge of the Blake Group, I will never allow something like that to happen. Do you understand?"

Sometimes, when a person is utterly speechless, they laugh. "Didn't you already assume I was in another man's arms? Don't tell me you thought we were still pure and innocent after all this?"

Lillian had successfully provoked him.

He had let her live on her own all this time largely because he believed she still loved him. Even though she was seen everywhere with Nathan, he was sure she would never do anything to betray him.

Sebastian believed that Lillian had class.

She disdained that kind of behavior.

Getting entangled with a single man while she was still married.

But hearing her words now, Sebastian felt all the blood in his body rush to his head.

"Lillian, what did you say? You've already..."

Lillian shot back, "Compared to your betrayal and infidelity, my actions don't even measure up to a tenth of yours, do they?"

"When was I ever unfaithful?" Sebastian demanded.

Lillian gave a cold smile but didn't answer.

Wasn't it laughable that he would even ask her that?

"Bella and I have never crossed any lines," Sebastian insisted. "There's nothing but innocence between us. You've been judging me by your own low standards, making arrogant assumptions about our relationship.

We have a purely professional connection, and because of her ties to the Mercer family, I look out for her a bit more than other colleagues.

Did you think I was as shameless and cheap as you?

You have a husband, yet you're entangled with another man, parading around with him in public.

Lillian, I always thought you were above playing these kinds of games. I never imagined you'd stoop to this.

What does Nathan have that I don't?

All I did was make a decision based on the company's best interests, choosing to let you face the consequences of going to prison.

Besides, aren't the company's interests our shared interests?

You weren't able to contribute to the company, so why couldn't you make this small sacrifice for it?

I don't understand. Why are you complaining about such a minor thing?"
