Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1476

The Mercer family was in utter chaos. Brandon hadn't set foot in the house since he started taking over the company. Colin, acting as his right hand, hadn't returned either.

Martin had issued a public resignation, but when it came down to actually handing over the reins, he fought tooth and nail.

The father and sons were locked in a vicious tug-of-war, none of them willing to back down.

Even worse than the corporate bloodbath was the fact that Martin couldn't even leave his house. The online harassment had escalated into real-world chaos. People had snuck into their upscale gated community to hurl eggs at the villa walls, leaving the staff completely overwhelmed.

Martin and Sabrina Ward were trapped inside.

That morning, Sabrina had called Bella, intending to tell her to stay at a hotel to wait out the storm, only to find out she had been hospitalized.

Sabrina panicked immediately.

"Sweetheart, what happened? You didn't come home last night, so I thought you were smart enough to grab a hotel room. Why are you in the hospital?"

"Physically, I'm fine," Bella replied. "I finished my work at the Mercer Group, and Brandon can handle the rest. With the way things are, he doesn't want me involved anyway.

So, I have free time. I'm going to focus all my energy on this divorce.

I spent a fortune on lawyers, so I have to get my money's worth. I figured out a way to make Sebastian pay me Emotional Distress Damages on top of splitting the assets."

Sabrina was surprised. "Emotional distress? What do you mean?"

"That's why I'm admitted," Bella explained. "My mental health has suffered severe damage, and I need medical attention."

Sabrina finally understood.

"As long as you're physically okay, I won't worry too much. Once I can sneak out of the house, I'll come stay with you."

Bella adjusted her mindset, waiting for the doctors to do their work.
