Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 400

"That Bella… she clearly said she was going to transfer the shares to me, but I never expected her to pull a stunt like this.

"She gave the shares directly to Dad as a birthday gift at his party, making it impossible for either of us to fight for them.

"If I had known she was so cunning, I would have insisted on giving her the money and getting the shares transferred sooner. I was too naive and trusted her.

"That bitch… she was probably planning to fight us for the shares all along.

"Damn her!"

Brandon was about to explode with anger.

Colin was just as furious. "Yeah, what do you expect from a mistress's child? She's full of tricks. It was a risky move on her part.

"If Dad had actually accepted the shares as a gift, how would she have paid back all the money she spent?"

"Have you forgotten where that money came from? Who else but Sebastian would dare to lend her hundreds of millions? Even if Dad had accepted the shares, she could have just stalled on repaying Sebastian. Once she married him, wouldn't it become their shared marital asset? Her little scheme was perfectly calculated.

"And now, in this situation… Hmph. That bitch.

"The shares are in her hands, and she can use the money freely now.

"She could easily mortgage the company shares and get another few hundred million in cash.

"In the end, she's become the wealthiest person in the Mercer family."

"Brandon, isn't this a classic case of getting something for nothing?"

Brandon knew perfectly well what it was, and that's what made him even more furious.

So, Bella had no reason to stick around and be a third wheel.

She decided to go straight home.

The first thing Bella did upon returning to the Mercer residence was to order the maids to throw out everything in Lillian's room.

With Brandon and Colin out, it was as if Bella was now the mistress of the house.

The maids had witnessed what happened earlier, but they were still reluctant to throw Lillian's belongings away.

"Miss Ward, even though you've lived in this room for two years, it has always been the young miss's room. How can we just throw her things out?"

Bella’s face was cold and arrogant. "What? Are you refusing to listen to me in this house now? Still calling her 'young miss'? Don't forget, she's been disowned!"
