Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 900

Old Mr. Blake rubbed his temples, looking at his son with utter exhaustion.

"That is in the past, and bringing it up now is pathetic. Get your head straight. Deal with that vile Debbie Harris, and figure out what you're doing with Bella Ward.

Stop turning our private lives into a public spectacle. Generations of Blakes have built this family's reputation, and you are throwing it in the gutter."

Old Mr. Blake was done indulging his son's delusions. He just wanted the scandals buried so the family could move on.

Hearing Bella's name snapped Sebastian back to a harsh reality. "This is all Bella's fault! Her and Debbie Harris—they're cut from the exact same cloth!"

Old Mrs. Blake let out a heavy sigh. "Focus on fixing your mess. We saw Lillian today; she wants absolutely nothing to do with us anymore.

She won't even acknowledge Noah as her son. You are entirely on your own."

Without a backward glance, Old Mrs. Blake turned and walked upstairs. The emotional toll of the past two days had left her drained, and she had no energy left for her son's theatrics.

Her sleep medication had already been disrupted, and she felt physically ill.

But Sebastian refused to accept it.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?! Why?!"

"We told you we just found out today. Are you deaf?" Old Mr. Blake snapped. "Get the hell out of my sight.

A man who falls apart like this has no right leading the Blake Group."

With that, his father walked away, leaving Sebastian standing alone in the grand foyer.

The name sent a surge of pure, unadulterated hatred through Sebastian's veins.

He had thrown away a genius for a woman he now utterly despised.

Without another word, Sebastian walked out into the cold night and slid into the passenger seat of Julian's car. He didn't demand to drive this time.

"Find out where Lillian is staying," Sebastian ordered, his voice trembling with a desperate edge.

He vaguely remembered the Mercers mentioning a villa, but he had never cared enough to listen.

Her address wasn't a secret anymore; Julian quickly found the information online.

"She's at Halfridge Villas, Mr. Blake. But it's swarming with reporters. If you go there now, you'll be ambushed by the press."
