Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1556

Hannah almost asked him to keep her in mind for any future errands like this.

But standing in front of Sebastian, she didn't quite have the nerve.

She carefully backed out of the office, breathing a sigh of relief. Her mood was fantastic.

Sebastian might despise Bella now, but one thing was clear: no matter what Hannah said while delivering that basket, Sebastian wouldn't hold it against her.

Since he hadn't given her specific instructions beforehand, it meant she had full authority to say whatever she pleased.

Otherwise, Lester Ross would have given her a strict script.

It was obvious that no one cared what Bella thought anymore.

Hannah certainly didn't care. Bella had never treated her like a human being, merely a pawn to be used and discarded at will.

Thinking back on all her years of blind loyalty—acting like an obedient dog, doing whatever Bella commanded without question—it left a bitter taste in her mouth.

Once Bella achieved her goals, she didn't care about Hannah's well-being.

She knew Hannah was desperate for money, yet when Sebastian stripped away all her bonuses with a single word, Bella—who could have easily intervened—did nothing. She was too busy basking in the glory of becoming Mrs. Blake to care about Hannah's suffering.

People truly only cared about their own joy.

When Hannah returned to her desk, several colleagues gathered around for gossip. She only mentioned the bonus and kept her mouth shut about everything else.

Everyone was envious. A half-day off and extra cash during such a busy season? Who wouldn't want that?

But remembering how miserable Hannah had been recently, the envy dialed down.

She deserved this little win.

Meanwhile, Bella was obsessively refreshing the trending topics. It was giving her a massive headache. It hadn't even been half a day, and she already had to spend more money to suppress the hashtags.
