Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 921

Old Mrs. Blake immediately supported Old Mr. Blake. "Don't get worked up, honey. Steady yourself. Your health is the only thing that matters."

She turned to Arthur Pendergast. "What are you staring at? Call the police and have this madwoman dragged away! And call Sebastian. Can't he clean up his own messes without robbing us of a moment's peace?"

Old Mrs. Blake didn't care about anything else; her only concern was her husband's health. With his emotions fluctuating so much lately, she feared any further strain would be disastrous. Besides, she didn't care if Bella Ward drove a tank through their front gates. The Blake estate had top-tier security; the car would break before the reinforced doors truly gave way.

Arthur called the police, then dialed Sebastian.

Sebastian wasn't entirely off the grid. He was simply staying at a private villa Bella knew nothing about, trying to avoid her face. He had already issued directives to the Blake Group's executives. He was prepared to tear up his relationship with Bella and had fully accepted the fallout. He was even reviewing internal candidates to temporarily take over her executive role, though a part of him still harbored the fantasy that Lillian Mercer would return to fill the void.

Silence fell over the courtyard. Bella whipped her head around, and the moment she saw him, a wave of profound relief washed over her. The situation had spiraled out of control, but at least he was here. She had finally forced him out of hiding.

"Sebastian!" she cried. "I knew you wouldn't abandon me. I know you're under a lot of pressure, but we fought so hard to get married! Was it those two old fossils? Did they threaten you to divorce me? They don't understand how much you love me. Tell them! Tell them that if we divorce, I'll take half your assets. Tell them you'll never leave me!"
