Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 152

Behind her, staff bustled about. Bella, also in a formal gown, was holding up her skirt with one hand and helping with various items with the other, directing the proceedings.

Suddenly, Sabrina called out to her. "Bella, come here."

Bella walked over. "What is it, Mom?"

Sabrina lowered her voice. "Why isn't Lillian here yet?"

In her mind, Lillian would have come straight to her as soon as she arrived.

The fact that she hadn't shown up meant she hadn't come at all.

"Mom, don't worry, she'll come. Brandon sent the invitation himself. If she doesn't show, it'll be that much harder for her to ever come back to this family."

Sabrina insisted, "She has to be here today. Without her to witness this, it just feels like something is missing. How could she not come?"

Back then, Lillian had been a witness to her humiliation!

Lillian had to come. She had to be here to witness her victory today.

"Don't worry, Mom," Bella soothed. "You just focus on being the beautiful bride. I'll handle everything else."

After calming Sabrina down, Bella turned and went downstairs to find Brandon.

"Brandon, is Lillian not coming today?"

Brandon was busy with the guests, but he had also been keeping an eye out for Lillian.

"She's probably just running a little late. It's fine, I'll call her in a bit."

Bella handled it with a smile. "Today is my mother's big day. Let's all have a few more drinks and put work aside for now."

Her words were met with a chorus of congratulations.

Just then, the officiant on stage tapped the microphone. "The ceremony is about to begin. Will all our guests please take their seats."

As the guests settled in, the wedding officially began.

The officiant addressed the audience. "Does anyone here object to this perfect union?"

From the entrance, the roar of a powerful engine drowned out the guests' murmurs of "No." In an instant, the entire venue fell silent.

A car door opened, and a clear female voice rang out: "I object!"
