Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1582

1582 /1624

The Presiding Judge finally gave Sebastian Blake's lawyer the floor.

Sebastian hadn't come to court unprepared. No matter what evidence Bella Ward presented, he was ready for it. He didn't fear her tactics in the slightest.

The legal team submitted a stack of their own evidence, all of which was broadcast live to the public.

Staring at the screen, Ethan Hayes craned his neck. "Whoa, so you're telling me Sebastian didn't even live in his own house all those years? He just handed the place over to Bella?"

"That's not right," Victor Knight chimed in. "He practically lived at his office. So Bella's claim of cohabitation is completely baseless. But they were obviously carrying on an affair. Could that really be fake?"

Lillian Mercer remained silent, a thought crossing her mind.

Sebastian never seemed particularly interested in physical intimacy.

In fact, he had always seemed almost entirely indifferent to it.

Could it be that he and Bella...

Just then, on the live broadcast, the lawyer stated firmly, "Our client, Mr. Blake, never cohabited with Ms. Ward.

The only reason Ms. Ward was present at the villa was to care for the child under specific circumstances, as Mr. Blake was too busy.

However, the villa was fully staffed with nannies.

The Mercer family couldn't bear to see the young boy without any family around, so Ms. Ward frequently visited to act as his aunt.

The evidence Ms. Ward just provided only proves she cared for the boy. Our evidence, on the other hand, explicitly proves that Mr. Blake did not cohabit with her as they claim.

Not only did they not live together, but even after they officially married, their marriage was never consummated."

The livestream's comment section exploded.

Inside the courtroom, everyone was stunned.

The Mercer men exchanged shocked glances, reeling from the revelation that there had been no physical intimacy.
