Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1534

Martin desperately wanted to stay glued to Sabrina, but looking at Bella lying unconscious on the bed, he felt a twinge of awkwardness.

Anyone with a shred of common sense knew Bella needed priority care right now.

Nodding, he stepped out of the room.

Finally, the room was empty save for Sabrina and Bella. The doctors and nurses had adjusted the monitors and left.

Sabrina sat quietly by the bed. She pulled a compact mirror from her purse, carefully wiped away her tear streaks, touched up her skincare, and pulled out her phone. She sent a quick text to the contact with the black profile picture.

[It's done.]

Bella was still asleep, but the internet was already saturated with the media smear campaign.

Lester Ross practically sprinted into Sebastian's office, skipping the pleasantries and diving straight into his report.

"Mr. Blake, there are articles and trending posts all over the internet. They're claiming that you pushed Bella to the brink of a mental breakdown, caused her depression, and ultimately triggered her cancer."

Instead of exploding in anger, the corners of Sebastian's lips curled up. "She really did it. What a despicable bitch."

Lester understood Sebastian's reaction.

He didn't say another word, simply handing over a neatly compiled stack of printed articles.

"It looks like Vantage PR Group's work. The narrative is entirely focused on blaming you for Bella's tragedy. The public outcry against you is massive and completely one-sided."

"I know," Sebastian said calmly. "Compile everything that comes out. Ignore the rest."

"Mr. Blake, haven't we already prepared countermeasures? We have a mountain of evidence proving Bella is a gold digger who only approached you for money.

"This is the perfect time to use it. Should I..."

Before Lester could finish, Sebastian raised a hand. "It's not the right time, and this isn't the right battlefield.

"Since Bella loves digging her own grave, let's let her bury herself."
