Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1589

Ethan shook his head in admiration. "Sebastian played this flawlessly. He won, and he won with style.

Pulling off a victory like this proves he's a force to be reckoned with.

Anyone thinking about crossing him in the future is going to need to seriously rethink their life choices."

Victor added, "Even knowing how it was going to end, watching it unfold was incredible.

Public opinion has totally done a 180.

Bella went to war, and all she did was hand Sebastian a PR victory on a silver platter.

He didn't spend a single cent, and he walked away looking like a saint. Whoever said he lacked business acumen is an idiot.

He just rebranded his entire public image through a divorce.

My bet is he's going to use this momentum to purge the Blake Group of any executives who aren't loyal to him."

Ethan turned to look at Victor, raising an eyebrow. "You know, buddy, you'd make a hell of a corporate manager. With a brain like yours, it's almost a waste if you don't take on an executive role."

Victor replied humbly, "I know my limits.

I just hang around you guys enough to pick up on how the game is played."

To the average viewer, Sebastian simply won a messy divorce, exposed a Gold Digger, and walked away clean without any real financial gain.

But those who truly understood power dynamics knew better. Sebastian could have ended the trial on day one. Instead, he intentionally dragged it out, taking a massive detour just to orchestrate a public execution.

The internet thought he was giving her a chance.

In reality, he engineered a spectacle to ensure Bella's reputation was reduced to ashes globally.

And when the dust settled, Sebastian was the only true victor.

Back in the courtroom, The Presiding Judge swiftly finalized the divorce. Bella received absolutely nothing.
