Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 298

Is Lillian more capable than Bella?

The old man's question barely registered in Sebastian's mind before he dismissed it.

How could Lillian possibly be more capable than Bella?

When she should have been building her career, Lillian was completely obsessed with him, chasing him relentlessly. Meanwhile, Bella was working her fingers to the bone, studying and pushing herself forward.

There was no comparison.

If his father had brought up anything else, he might have given it some thought. But on this point, Sebastian didn't need to think twice. Lillian wasn't even worthy of being compared to Bella.

"Dad, the divorce is final. Yelling about it won't change anything.

"Lillian and I were never a good match. We only got together back then because she was so persistent.

"And because you all approved of her, I saw some value in the connection and agreed to it.

"But now, there's no way for us to continue.

"So, please, don't make things difficult for me, and don't make things difficult for her.

"I wanted to bring her back this time out of a sense of responsibility.

"What happened with her going to prison was partly my fault, so I can't just ignore her.

"Besides, she's Noah's mother. I'm also doing this for my son's sake."

Sebastian gave a long explanation, but not once did he mention having any feelings for Lillian.

He believed he was acting out of moral obligation, and that he had more than fulfilled his duty to her.

But the more his father listened, the angrier he became.

"Dad... I inherited the Blake family's assets because I'm your only son in this world.

"The only heir. If I don't inherit, who will?

"As much as you hate my mother, she's the one who gave you that heir.

"You despise her for being unscrupulous, but if it weren't for her methods, your family line would have ended!"

Outside the door, Mrs. Blake could no longer stand listening to them argue. Wiping a tear from her eye, she knocked on the door.

Her husband was getting old, and arguing like this wasn't good for his health.

The knock finally interrupted the fight between father and son.

Sebastian stood up and opened the door.
