Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1597

It was a total pipe dream.

In the trailing car, Bella squeezed her eyes shut, the judge's final verdict still ringing sharply in her ears.

Martin sat in the passenger seat, his face a storm of fury. He deeply regretted showing up today.

They had all planned for a triumphant victory, a glorious public relations win for the family. But who could have predicted this?

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

Everything had unraveled in an instant.

Bella was still reeling in shock. She had considered the possibility of losing before the trial began, but she hadn't truly believed it would happen.

How could she have lost?

Sebastian was utterly ruthless. How could he have kept The Blake Pre-Nuptial Agreement hidden for so long?

If he hadn't pulled that document out of nowhere, the judge's early demeanor suggested she would have been awarded a sizable chunk of the assets.

Even if it was just to cover her medical expenses or rehabilitation, she should have walked away with something.

But because of that damn prenup, the judge lost all patience. The ruling was strictly by the book, and she was left with absolutely nothing from Sebastian.

Sebastian Blake. He had dragged this divorce out for so long, perfectly concealing his hand.

He waited until the absolute final moment to drop the prenup, ensuring she was completely destroyed. He had turned her into the biggest laughingstock in all of Northwyn.

She was probably a public pariah by now, a rat everyone wanted to beat.

But it was fine. She was Bella Ward. She wasn't going to let this break her.

Her life wasn't going to end over a manipulated divorce trial.

She still had capital. Yes, she still had leverage. She could keep moving forward and stage a massive comeback.
