Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1508

1508 /1624

Bella knew the stakes. This lawsuit wasn't just about ending a marriage; it was a battle for her survival.

Simple hospital checkups wouldn't be enough. She needed irrefutable, expert medical appraisals to prove the immense psychological and physical toll Sebastian had inflicted on her. She had been a successful, vibrant woman with a bright future—how had she ended up a broken patient in a hospital bed? The man responsible had to bleed for it.

Since the moment she was admitted, Bella had been plotting. She couldn't trust anyone else with the outside logistics, so she left the PR maneuvering to her mother. She had seen what that media team could do. While the Mercers had ultimately lost their previous battle, it was due to terrible luck, not incompetence. Bella was convinced her luck was about to change.

Before finally drifting to sleep, she obsessively reviewed the screenshots of Lillian's Social Feed. The fastest—and only—way to rival Lillian's staggering new wealth was to drain Sebastian dry in the divorce settlement.

Meanwhile, Sabrina had ruthlessly swiped Martin's corporate credit card to fund the PR army.

At the Mercer estate, Martin was miserable. Brandon and Colin had effectively ousted him, completely taking over the Mercer Group. He hadn't been to the office in days, spending his time throwing tantrums and smashing things around the empty house. He wanted to go out, but the moment he peeked past the gates, livestreaming gossip vloggers shoved cameras in his face. He was trapped.
