Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 683

Back then, he had no money to give Lillian. The idea was a joke.

Brandon understood now. This was all Bella's doing.

He turned his head to look at her. "Why is someone playing these little games over such a small matter?"

Bella was completely exposed. She had indeed been selfish. She had deceived both sides, letting each one believe that since Lillian wasn't using their money, she must be using the other's.

As for where Lillian's money actually came from, she didn't want to know.

She had fought with everything she had to reach her current position, yet it still paled in comparison to the pocket money Lillian could casually have. It was a source of deep-seated insecurity for her, a topic she didn't want to touch.

But even now, Bella wouldn't let herself be put in a completely passive position.

"Shouldn't you all be asking where her money came from after she turned eighteen? Where did all that money come from?"

Lillian cut her off. "Who do you think you are to question whose money I spend?"

Lillian's words were incredibly powerful.

Old Mrs. Blake immediately spoke up. "Alright, that's enough. Now that it's cleared up, Lillian, you can do whatever you want with your things, apart from the dowry."

Lillian looked at Sebastian. "And you? What do you say?"

Sebastian replied, "They're all women's things. What would I do with them?"

Lillian's clothes, bags, and shoes were all from top luxury brands.

Bella recognized these brands, and her eyes were glued to Lillian's collection of ten or twenty bags.

Most of them were limited editions that were now hard to buy even with money.

There were more than a dozen bags worth over a million dollars each. Although they weren't new, they were so well-preserved and lightly used that they looked to be in excellent condition.

As she watched the resale team haul everything away, Bella was still agonizing over those bags.

She couldn't believe she had been in and out of this villa so many times without knowing Lillian had so many valuable things here.

Otherwise, she would have found a way to get her hands on them, no matter what.

Then they wouldn't have all been sold off by Lillian.

Gritting her teeth as she watched the items disappear, Sabrina gently nudged Bella and whispered, "Why are you getting worked up over a few old clothes?"

Bella took a deep breath. "Mom, you don't understand. A dozen of those bags are limited edition, each worth over a million. That's ten to twenty million dollars right there."

Now it was Sabrina's turn to feel the sting.

It was as if the items had originally belonged to them, and they had just suffered a pure loss of ten to twenty million dollars.
