Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 149

No one knew the hardships she had endured in those destitute years, the trials she faced, the men who had hurt her, before she finally met Martin, the man who promised her a lifetime.

This wedding Martin was giving her was Sabrina's ultimate victory.

She had to win. Even though Eleanor Lancaster was now insane, unable to remember people or events, she had to erase the shame of the past.

She was better. She was more worthy of love.

No matter how noble Eleanor Lancaster's birth was, she still ended up a discarded wife.

Only she, Sabrina, deserved the wealth and glory of the Mercer family.

Speaking of clawing their way up from the bottom, a thought suddenly struck Bella.

"Mom, you said Mr. Mercer couldn't get a divorce before. This time, after seeing you leave in anger, how did he manage to get it done? It happened so quickly, the speed of it is honestly a bit surprising."

Bella also felt that this matter had gone almost too smoothly, beyond her imagination.

Sabrina's smile broadened, her good mood evident.

"He got scared, of course. Bella, you must remember, men are all the same. They only start to panic when they think they're about to lose you for good.

If you don't apply a little pressure, they act like it's no big deal.

They just assume you'll always be by their side, and life will go on as usual.

They treat you as a possession, and only when they realize that this possession is about to slip through their fingers do they get anxious.

They'll do whatever it takes to get it done.

His inability to get a divorce before was probably just some excuse. See? It's all settled now, isn't it?"

Bella smiled. "Yes, Mom's charm is still as powerful as ever."

With the wedding just a day away, Bella had another thought, but she didn't want to spoil her mother's mood, so she kept it to herself.

She was pleased with how grand and lavish the wedding preparations were.

However, she remembered Martin mentioning that he would buy her mother a new villa as a wedding gift.

To this day, she hadn't seen any sign of a villa.

Coupled with the fact that the Mercer family's business had been relying on Sebastian's support for the past few years, Bella occasionally had doubts about the family's current financial strength.

But then she would see the expensive jewelry Martin had bought for her mother for the wedding, and she would dismiss the thought.

If the Mercer family were truly in financial trouble, Martin wouldn't have been able to afford so much new jewelry, and he had even bought two sets for her.

On the eve of the wedding, almost everyone in the Mercer household was too restless to sleep.

The bride and groom, Martin and Sabrina, were so excited they barely slept a wink.

Though they were both middle-aged, they felt the same激动 as if it were their first marriage.

"Sabrina, we've finally reached this day. I feel like I've waited half my life for this. Thankfully, we finally have this day."

"Martin, you're making me nervous," Sabrina said. "There will be so many guests tomorrow. What if I get nervous and mess up?"

Martin held her and said with a laugh, "You won't. You're always so elegant and poised. You won't make any mistakes tomorrow.

We've been together for so many years. Don't I know you by now?"
