Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 199

Sabrina smiled. "Men... why contradict them? Just let them think what they want to think. Isn't that enough?

When they're happy thinking their own thoughts, it's much easier than having to coax them like a child, isn't it?

Whatever he wants, just let him think he has the ability to get it, and he'll be happy. When he's happy, your life will be easier. No one will be nagging you. Isn't that nice?

As for everything else, as long as the situation is within your control, you just have to quietly manage it. If you can't manage it, then find another way. In short, you don't have to completely crush all their thoughts and ideas."

"What you're saying makes sense, but what if Mr. Mercer finds out you're secretly using birth control? Wouldn't that hurt your relationship even more?"

"Who said I'm secretly using birth control? Giving birth would indeed be very harmful to my body, and there's a chance I could lose my life. But getting pregnant is another story.

Don't worry, your mother has already thought of a complete plan.

You should just focus on what you need to do and not worry about me.

Your work is so busy, and Sebastian still isn't divorced. Bella, your situation is what I'm most worried about.

Do you understand?

Only when things are stable on your end can I rest easy. Now that Lillian is no longer needed for a second child, the most important thing is to find a way to get rid of this obstacle.

As long as she's around, you and Sebastian can't be considered a legitimate couple. You've seen what happened to me, so you know how important it is to be legitimate. I'm already in this situation, and some things can't be washed clean. There's nothing I can do about it.

But you're different.

My beautifully crafted daughter must marry into a wealthy family with a clean and untainted reputation.

You're still young, and you might not understand some things now, but in the future, you'll realize how important a clean reputation is."

Bella understood perfectly. It was because she understood that her hatred for Lillian was so deep.

If outsiders knew about Sebastian and Lillian's secret marriage, they would probably gossip about her behind her back.

This was also why she had gone to great lengths to fire the old employees who had started the business with Sebastian and Lillian.

Thinking about it, Lillian was really pathetic. She was on the same trip as her own husband, yet she had to watch him stay with another woman, and he wouldn't even wait for her to come out of her check-up with him.

Bella felt that for a woman to end up in Lillian's position was truly tragic. However, seeing Lillian so neglected made her heart fill with joy. Who was to blame? Lillian had been born with all the advantages in life. And she, who was clearly more outstanding, had to work so much harder to get to where she was today.

Bella suddenly smiled. "Mom, you have no idea how pathetic Lillian was on this trip. Sebastian was with me and Noah the whole time, and Noah never once called her 'Mom.' Anyway, a person like her is living a completely meaningless life."

"Don't worry, soon her life will be even more meaningless. She will lose her husband, her son, and her entire family.

Eleanor Lancaster's most beloved daughter, her most precious treasure, I will make her lose everything.

Bella, put a little more effort into your work. In the end, we need to make her company go bankrupt. When that happens, she will definitely come back and beg the Mercer family. At that time, I will handle her properly. I will let her know that the person she resented back then is the one who ultimately holds her fate in her hands."

Sabrina's smile was brighter than ever before.

Bella replied, "Yes, I understand. How could I not understand my mother's instructions? Don't worry, I will make sure she ends up with nothing."
