Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1580

Sebastian knew Bella well enough to read her thoughts simply by looking at the shape of her lips.

She thought she would win?

Did she really believe victory would be that effortless?

She was still trapped in a fantasy.

Otherwise, how could she think he'd just roll over and let her win?

A cold smirk touched Sebastian's lips. Trying to defeat him? She was completely delusional.

Bella had lost the moment this began.

But keeping her completely in the dark and watching her parade around with such arrogant confidence was actually quite entertaining.

The entire charade was highly amusing.

And Sebastian was very much enjoying the show.

Standing nearby, Lester caught Bella's taunting expression and couldn't help but scowl.

What the hell was she so smug about? What was there to be proud of?

She was about to lose everything—her money, her status, and eventually even the last shreds of public sympathy. What right did she have to look so arrogant?

But since Sebastian remained silent, Lester didn't dare voice his frustration.

Meanwhile, Bella's legal team was anxiously reviewing exactly what they needed to be careful about during the live broadcast.

Winning or losing the case was a secondary concern; preventing any catastrophic fallout that could damage the firm's future was paramount.

They had spent years building a flawless reputation. Even if they lost today, they needed to lose gracefully.

Otherwise, the damage would be irreparable.

Bella, however, was radiating confidence, fully convinced she had the case in the bag.

By now, several media outlets had set up inside the courtroom, with the most influential networks securing the best vantage points.

In the Lillionix office, Lillian and her group watched the broadcast, discussing the unfolding drama as they waited for the trial to begin.

"They've definitely seen each other by now, right? Do you think Sebastian will feel bad for her now that she's scarred? Think he might just toss her a billion or two to make it go away?"
