Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1588

Set her up?

Sebastian didn't view it as a setup at all. In his mind, they were simply playing on an even battlefield. Calling it a setup was giving her too much credit.

If he hadn't planned ahead, Bella would have gladly stripped him to the bone and drank his blood.

Bella was a ruthless predator who chewed people up and spat them out. Sebastian understood exactly who he was dealing with.

The faint smile remained on his lips.

This was exactly the outcome he wanted. Delivering the fatal strike right at the finish line.

Truthfully, even if The Presiding Judge had ordered him to pay her medical bills or a minor alimony settlement, he wouldn't have cared.

At his level of wealth, problems solved with money weren't real problems. Fighting over petty cash wasn't worth his time.

In fact, the Blake Group's stock had fluctuated wildly due to Bella's public stunts. The millions lost in market cap far exceeded whatever meager settlement the court might have awarded her.

But Sebastian needed to send a message. A brutal warning to Bella and everyone else watching.

He needed them to know that Sebastian Blake was nobody's fool. No one could just waltz into his life, take a bite out of him, and walk away clean.

Especially not Bella. He had held back this killing blow solely for this moment of total humiliation.

He wanted her to realize that he had secured his checkmate from the very beginning.

He wasn't a lamb waiting for the slaughter.

What she desperately craved was something she would never touch.

Unless Sebastian explicitly chose to give it to her, she wouldn't get a single cent.

With all the evidence laid bare, the final strike was an absolute masterpiece.

Even The Presiding Judge looked embarrassed for her.

The livestream comment section completely flipped. The very people who had been tearing Sebastian apart minutes ago were now furiously backpedaling.
