Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 627

And to make matters worse, Lillian had already made it clear she didn't care about the engagement. She obviously had no intention of changing her plans to salvage the Mercer Group just to support Bella's marriage to Sebastian.

Bella was furious, but at this moment, she had no outlet for her rage.

Watching her mother on camera, she felt a storm of emotions brewing inside her.

But she was powerless.

Sabrina repeated her apologies in front of the camera, not asking for forgiveness, only for her remorse to be felt. Her posture was utterly servile.

This humiliation instantly brought back memories of her past—a life of poverty with her mother, living hand-to-mouth, without a shred of dignity, humbled to the dust.

She desperately never wanted to return to that life; she was terrified of it.

Right now, her biggest worry was Sebastian.

If this shameful display continued, Sebastian would probably call off the wedding.

Even if he just postponed it, the dream she had waited and hoped for for so many years would never have a happy ending.

Bella felt she couldn't remain passive. She had to go on the offensive.

When it came to Sebastian, she still had an ace up her sleeve.

She had helped Debbie so many times; it was time for Debbie to help her.

The thirty-minute live stream was met with a mixed response online: half the comments were curses, a small portion were just onlookers enjoying the drama, and another small portion felt sorry for Sabrina, sympathizing with her as a passionate person who dared to fight for love.

But inside, Sabrina was deeply unhappy.

When the half-hour was finally over, she stumbled again, though she managed not to faint this time.

Martin quickly rushed over to support her. "Honey, how are you?"

She hadn't been able to pay her back yet, and with Debbie's love for fun, she was probably so distracted by the new handsome model at her side that she might have forgotten all about her.

Bella had to find a way to pop up in front of Debbie a few more times, hoping it would remind her about the money.

Once the refund came through, she had to pay her back immediately. Otherwise, with her current situation, she was under fire from all sides and couldn't find peace anywhere.

She had to worry about the loan sharks, about when the Mercer Group's stock would resume trading so she could cut her losses, and most importantly, about Sebastian's feelings!

Sebastian was the key to her entire future. She couldn't afford to be careless for a single moment.

Furious, Bella stormed out. Sabrina's tears immediately began to fall.

Martin grew anxious. "Don't cry, please don't cry. I understand, I get it. Bella is upset.

Brandon, you need to go and apologize to your sister, explain everything to her. If you don't, I won't let you off the hook!"
