Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1529

Bella's illness was no longer a secret.

And it was highly likely Sebastian knew as well.

The Blake Group was a major shareholder in this hospital; pulling her medical records would require barely a phone call.

Because of that, Bella knew she couldn't afford to wait.

Stalling would only give him the upper hand.

Her surgery was scheduled in two days, and she needed a brief window to physically recover. The clock was ticking.

After Brandon and Colin left, Sabrina hurried back in.

"What did they want?" Sabrina asked, eyeing her daughter's pale face. "Did they come here to threaten you? You look awful."

Bella pulled out the courier envelope. "Sebastian is getting desperate. He wants to sever ties as quickly as possible.

"Mom, is everything arranged?

"I need to launch the counterattack. Brandon agreed to fund my $5 Million War Chest. I'm done wasting time.

"I have to play this perfectly.

"I cannot lose this lawsuit."

Sabrina glanced at the court date and nodded.

"We have enough time. It's tight, but we can do it.

"Are you sure Brandon is actually giving you the five million? He's practically bankrupt."

"He's not doing it out of the kindness of his heart," Bella scoffed. "He's betting on me to win. He knows I'll secure a massive settlement, and he expects me to pump it straight back into the Mercer Group.
