Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1592

Bella Ward broke down right there in the courthouse. She laughed and shrieked like a lunatic, completely oblivious to the swarm of cameras capturing her every move.

Watching the scene unfold, Lillian Mercer felt an unprecedented surge of satisfaction.

Crushing Bella completely would have been far too easy for her now. And because it was so effortless, ending it quickly just wouldn't be any fun.

She wanted to watch. She wanted to see Bella backed into a corner, forced down a dead end, and dragged into a living hell. Only when the woman was completely broken, begging for forgiveness, would Lillian truly feel like she had gotten her revenge.

Lillian had never been the forgiving type, especially not when it came to someone like Bella. It was impossible.

Therefore, Lillian was going to savor every second of her rival's descent into ruin.

Ethan Hayes was already prepared to deliver the final blow with the evidence that would send Bella straight to a prison cell.

Yet, Lillian took her time, admiring the unhinged despair twisting Bella's features. Finally, a slow smile curved her lips. "No rush."

Her voice was soft and deliberate. She wanted to relish this spectacle a little longer.

Even now, the memory was burned into her mind. She clearly remembered how Bella had pushed her grandmother down those stairs, leaving the elderly woman in a coma from which she still hadn't woken.

She also remembered exactly how those people had framed her, forcing her to take the fall and go to prison.

Most of all, she remembered the scene that had greeted her the day she was finally released.

The Mercer men, Sabrina and Bella, along with Sebastian and Noah Blake—they had looked like the perfect, blended family.

So loving. So happy. Lillian wondered if any of them even remembered that day.
