After Sebastian left, Bella stood frozen in place.
Her mind was an absolute mess.
She was usually so calculated and sharp, but right now, she couldn't maintain even an ounce of composure.
Everything had happened too fast. It was completely unbelievable.
What was supposed to be a globally celebrated wedding had devolved into this nightmare.
And Lillian, who was supposed to be trampled into the dirt with no hope of ever recovering, had somehow pulled off a massive scam, posing as a legendary developer. And millions of people were actually falling for it! The entire internet was now worshiping Lillian.
The disaster of her wedding had already drained Bella, but the news about Lillian felt like a final, maddening blow.
The Mercer men quickly pulled out their phones and started searching the web.
It required almost zero effort to find the exploding trending topics surrounding Lillian.
The name 'Li' was very familiar to them.
Brandon and Colin had personally visited Nathan's company before, desperately trying to secure a partnership with the elusive Li.
They had been rejected at the door multiple times.
But they vividly remembered that during that exact same period, Lillian had shown up at Nathan's company to interview for a janitorial position.
That memory was still burned into their minds, especially since it had caused a massive argument back then.
They assumed Nathan had taken a liking to Lillian's looks during that time, which was why she was suddenly fast-tracked to the top of his company.
But because she hadn't finalized her divorce back then, the vicious rumors forced her to resign.
Shouldn't she and Nathan have cut ties after that?
Why was Nathan still fiercely backing her and vouching for her on a global stage?
If she had any redeeming quality, it was that she had inherited her mother's stunning looks—and even surpassed them. Her radiant complexion and beauty were undeniably a massive draw for men.
Because of this, Martin completely refused to believe Lillian was Li.
And naturally, neither did Brandon or Colin.
Sabrina didn't care about any of that. She was busy comforting Bella. Her only concern was her daughter's crumbling marriage and how to salvage it.
Bella's mind was a chaotic storm, but upon hearing the Mercer men's conversation, she stumbled over and grabbed their arms. "Lillian really isn't Li, right?"
Brandon rolled his eyes. "Of course she isn't. Li is a mythical figure in the tech world. How could it be her? What does she even know how to do? She couldn't even survive at Nathan's company, and now she starts a tiny startup, throws a press conference, and claims to be a legend? Who would buy that garbage?"
Colin chimed in. "Let's be logical. If she really were a massive heavyweight like Li, why would she silently endure so much humiliation all these years?
Let's just look at her obsession with Sebastian. The pathetic way she chased after him back then—everyone knows how desperately she loved him.
