Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1575

After dinner, Ethan went ahead and organized the evidence anyway.

If Bella was truly at the end of her rope and couldn't stir up any more trouble, he needed to be ready.

It wasn't often that Lillian trusted him enough to hand over such a crucial task, so he had to do it flawlessly.

Leonard and Lillian were leaning against each other on the couch when Leonard suddenly spoke. "I bet you a hundred bucks that the massive spike in traffic and trending topics today was all bought by Sebastian."

Lillian couldn't help but laugh. "Then you win."

"He really is a scheming bastard."

"Bella crossing paths with him was her worst stroke of luck," Lillian noted.

"I bet she genuinely thought she had him wrapped around her finger, assuming she could just take whatever she wanted."

"She picked the wrong target from the very beginning," Lillian said. "Sebastian has never been someone easy to control. If he were, his parents wouldn't have had such a hard time with him."

Friday was destined to be an extraordinary day.

A swarm of reporters had already gathered outside the courthouse bright and early.

With the trial set to begin soon, numerous independent media personalities were also camped out alongside the journalists.

Everyone was desperate to capture the final verdict of this high-society marital war firsthand.

Bella hadn't left the hospital in ages. After wearing hospital gowns for so long, finally putting on her own clothes and preparing to step out into the real world made her sharply realize that she was no longer like normal women.

Confronted with dressing herself, her physical incompletion felt incredibly... awkward.

Yes, awkward.

She didn't even know how to dress her body without the Reconstructive Implants.

No matter how she styled the clothes, it looked glaringly wrong. But she had anticipated this.

She had long ago resolved that stepping out today was all about farming sympathy—sympathy from everyone.

Yet, actually facing reality was agonizing.
