Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 977

Now, all Hannah had to do was sit back and watch the fireworks.

Often, it was the people standing on the outside who saw the board most clearly.

Bella was completely blind to the fact that she had already lost.

For years, Bella had relentlessly compared herself to Lillian, genuinely believing she was the superior woman.

But now that Lillian's true identity and wealth were public knowledge, who could actually rival her?

Stacked against Lillian, Bella was entirely insignificant. The most pathetic part was that Bella still didn't realize Lillian could permanently destroy her life without breaking a sweat.

Though, Hannah couldn't quite understand why Lillian hadn't struck back yet.

Years ago, Bella had mercilessly framed Lillian and sent her to prison.

Did Lillian really just endure two years behind bars without an ounce of resentment? Did she just let it go?

Hannah figured Lillian was simply biding her time, waiting for Bella to completely self-destruct before delivering the killing blow.

Since Lillian wasn't making a move, Hannah was more than happy to hand Bella the rope to hang herself with. She would feed her every piece of volatile information she could find.

Let Bella go crazy! That was the fastest way to ruin her.

If Sebastian had already decided he wanted Lillian back, Bella showing up to sabotage them would only make him despise her more.

Hannah was just accelerating Bella's spectacular downfall.

And that suited her perfectly.

Smiling, Hannah watched until Bella's car disappeared down the street before hailing a cab to go home.

Hannah had survived her own crisis. She had taken an advance on her salary to cover her grandparents' surgery.

Unlike the VIP invitations that had specific names calligraphed on them, Bella's was a blank plus-one pass.

It was the exact type of pass Lillian would receive—a secondary ticket meant for a VIP to bring a spouse or an assistant.

Bella had clearly scored a favor from someone's unused plus-one allocation.

She scrawled her own name on the blank line and shoved it into her designer bag.

She was absolutely going.

Sebastian was out of his mind if he thought he could dump her and ride off into the sunset with Lillian.

He wanted to use this event to beg for Lillian's forgiveness? He'd have to get through Bella first.

If she refused to give him the chance, what could he possibly do about it?
