Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 698

Old Mr. Blake would listen to her?

What kind of joke was that?

It was hilarious.

The only person Old Mr. Blake listened to was probably that old woman in his house.

They were the ones who were truly in love, a truly bound pair.

What was she?

Compared to them, she was nothing.

But in front of Bella, Debbie could only suppress her true thoughts.

“Yes, I am Sebastian’s mother, after all.”

Debbie’s tone didn’t show any obvious resistance to meeting Old Mr. Blake.

But in her heart, she knew very well that her words carried no weight. She had no right to speak on matters concerning the Blake family.

She had no right to attend Sebastian’s wedding.

All she did was give birth to a son who happened to be the Blake family’s heir. She herself had absolutely no connection to them.

If she showed up, she would be sent away immediately.

So, Debbie knew her place and didn’t dare challenge the authority of the Blake family.

But the most important thing right now was to keep Bella on the hook, to make her fight for that billion dollars herself.

This was a billion dollars. She’d have to be a fool not to fight for it.

“Bella, you have to work hard on this too. Since you’re the one Sebastian loves most, you need to make it clear to him that you can’t skip these proper ceremonies.”

“You can’t be treated worse than Lillian, can you?”

“Even if they don’t double the bride price for you, they should at least give you the same as Lillian to be fair. Don’t you think?”

Lillian had no idea that the things she couldn't care less about were now treasures in Bella’s eyes.

But it made sense. What had Bella ever seen?

She was an unsophisticated person to begin with. It was only normal for greed and jealousy to drive her mad.

Lillian entrusted Stephen with handling all the items she didn’t want. He was highly efficient and quickly took care of everything.

The items were sold at a fair market price, and the funds were quickly transferred to Lillian’s account.

It was the weekend, and feeling the time was right, Lillian looked at Stephen. “Stephen, you’ve been to Halfridge Villas, but you haven’t met the people there yet.”

“It’s Saturday and you’re off. Are you interested in going over to meet him first?”

Stephen was now the de facto head of the Lancaster family, and Leonard would have to meet the ‘in-laws’ sooner or later.
