Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1586

Bella screamed in outrage, "What are you talking about?! You're making things up! You're slandering me, and I'll sue you!"

"Ms. Ward, please calm down," the lawyer replied smoothly. "Everything I've stated is backed by hard evidence. That includes the stunt you orchestrated at your own wedding, hiring a woman to demand a $1 billion debt payment on your behalf.

The wedding was broadcast live; the entire world saw it happen."

As the lawyer spoke, the court screens played the exact clip from the wedding—an undeniable, high-definition record of her extortion attempt.

The internet might have forgotten the specifics of that chaotic wedding, but now, watching the highlighted footage on the livestream, everyone's memory was instantly refreshed.

Even if Bella wanted to deny it, she was trapped.

Every financial advantage she had milked from Sebastian, every tangible benefit, was laid bare for the court. The "Gold Digger" label was now permanently glued to her forehead.

Staring at the evidence, Bella felt her mind go blank.

These were trivial, scattered receipts from years ago. How much time and manpower had it taken to compile all of this?

Sebastian had actually dug up every single transaction?

He had gone to agonizing lengths just to destroy her.

To take her down, he had meticulously separated the money spent on Noah from the money she had blown on herself, categorizing every last dime.

Meanwhile, Sebastian sat with his legs casually crossed, leaning back comfortably in his chair.

It was ironclad proof. She had no way out.

The lawyer wasn't finished. "Living in such extreme luxury, one has to wonder why Ms. Ward developed so many health issues. Perhaps she should look inward.

The crippling anxiety of failed investments and massive debt could easily trigger severe psychological stress, and potentially even physical illness.

But it certainly did not stem from her brief, comfortable marriage to Mr. Blake.
