Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 954

Bella, of course, had no idea that the unsellable Mercer shares in her hands were essentially a ticking time bomb. Naturally, she also didn't know whether the Mercer Group would actually survive this crisis.

But Lillian knew. She was simply waiting for her grandmother to wake up. When that day came, she would dismantle the Mercer Group with her own hands. It was time for the Mercer men to face reality. And it was time for Sabrina and Bella to pay for their sins.

Aside from Lillian, Sebastian was also well-informed. The moment Bella signed the contract with the divorce lawyers, he received the report.

However, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. This meant Bella was no longer entirely resistant to the idea of a divorce and was making her own preparations.

Over at the Blake estate, Old Mr. Blake and Old Mrs. Blake had been monitoring the situation closely. Though their intelligence wasn't quite as fast as Lillian's, they eventually got the news.

Hearing it, the elderly couple let out a massive sigh of relief.

"That disaster of a woman is finally cutting ties with the Blake family," Old Mr. Blake muttered. "I say we stop trying to arrange marriages for Sebastian. The boy simply isn't cut out for it. He can't be a loving, caring husband, nor can he be a devoted father."

He had developed a profound, bitter understanding of his son.

Just as the words left his mouth, Arthur Pendergast hurried into the room.

It wasn't appropriate for the elder Blakes to intervene in Debbie's affairs. Old Mr. Blake had nothing to say to her. More importantly, this woman, who had disgusted him for decades, should have vanished from his sight years ago. The fact that she had caused such an uproar in Northwyn only deepened his revulsion. With her massive debts on top of everything, he wanted nothing to do with it.

Arthur immediately made the call to Sebastian.

When Sebastian received the news, two suspects instantly came to mind. Either Debbie had been snatched by the Sapphire Enforcers from the casino, or Bella had taken her. God only knew how many dirty secrets entwined his wife and his mother.

More concerningly, since Bella had already hired a law firm to prepare for the divorce, there was a high chance she had taken Debbie to use as leverage for her next attack.
