Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1581

The back-and-forth between the opposing legal teams was spectacular.

Bella had already lost a previous lawsuit, and all of her prior evidence had been exhausted.

This time around, her legal team's core strategy was to milk public sympathy dry.

"Although my client's legal marriage was brief, we have substantial evidence proving she and Sebastian Blake have been romantically involved for years."

The moment Bella's lawyer made the statement, Sebastian immediately shot a look at his own counsel.

The entire Blake legal team stood up in unison. "Objection."

The Presiding Judge gestured for Bella's team to present their evidence first.

The documents and photos were submitted and projected onto the large screen for the court to see.

Bella cast a mocking glance in Sebastian's direction.

They had been together, and that was a fact. How could she possibly lie about something like that?

During the two years Lillian spent in prison, Bella practically lived in the home Sebastian and Lillian had shared. Publicly, of course, the excuse was that she was there to take care of Noah.

But this kind of evidence clearly established that the two had been cohabitating.

As for the intimate details of that cohabitation, she'd let the public's imagination do the work.

After all, she didn't need everyone to know the specifics.

None of that mattered. What mattered was making the judge understand that she and Sebastian had effectively functioned as husband and wife for years.

Emphasizing their long-term involvement made it undeniable that Sebastian was the primary reason she ended up in such a tragic state today.

No matter what, he owed her massive compensation.

"Your Honor, this is the evidence we are submitting."

The proof was laid bare for the entire court to see.

While the spectators in the gallery remained silent, a collective realization washed over the room: Bella Ward was undeniably the mistress!
