Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1595

Lillian knew full well that Bella had been staying at the hospital recently. It was precisely because she was there that Lillian had let her guard down, neglecting to have someone monitor her every move.

She had assumed Bella was pouring all her energy and cunning into dealing with the divorce lawsuit.

But for someone as relentlessly ambitious as Bella, was the endgame really just a hefty divorce settlement before fading into obscurity?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible.

Even if she secured the alimony, that money would merely serve as a new starting line for her.

She had some skills and tricks, but nowhere near enough to achieve her ultimate ambitions on her own.

So, what other cards did she have left to play?

From what Lillian knew, Bella's paths to a comeback were limited: the divorce settlement, and returning to the Mercer family to spike the Mercer Group's stock prices.

Either option could turn things around for her.

But neither was a guaranteed victory, and Bella wasn't foolish enough to put all her chips on just two uncertain bets.

Even if she did, it wouldn't be enough to satisfy her greed.

Lillian racked her brain, quickly filtering through anything else Bella might have done recently.

Then, she looked up. "I want the complete medical file and surgical timeline for Bella's hospital stay. Don't skip a single detail."

She directed the request straight at Leonard.

The Blake family held some shares in the hospital, but the majority stake belonged to one of Leonard's corporate entities.

Leonard Prescott commanded a sprawling empire with countless hospital shares and medical affiliates under his umbrella.

Getting those records would be a walk in the park for him. Patient confidentiality was a strong shield, but it meant nothing against internal executive oversight.

Leonard nodded and shot Ethan a look.

Ethan immediately grabbed his phone. "I'm on it. They'll send the files over right now."

The data arrived in minutes. Lillian sat at the computer, rapidly scrolling through the documents.
