Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 985

With connections like that, how could Hannah not know the identity of this mysterious secret ex-wife?

When her coworkers took her out to lunch, Hannah gladly went.

However, she refused to give them a straight answer.

"Since HR heard it directly from Mr. Blake's recording, I obviously can't deny it.

What I can tell you is that Mr. Blake and Bella were a second marriage.

Mr. Blake was married once before. It was a wealthy family alliance, but they kept it completely under wraps.

Please don't pressure me to tell you who she is. I'm just a low-level employee; I don't have the authority to speak on this.

Seriously, stop asking. Even if I know, I can't say a word.

If I blabbed about this, Mr. Blake would probably fire me on the spot. You all know I used to be close to Bella; he probably already hates the sight of me.

Firing me would be the easiest thing in the world for him right now.

So, all I can confirm is that yes, he has a secret ex-wife, but my lips are sealed beyond that."

With Hannah drawing a firm line, the others knew they couldn't push her.

Everyone knew about her financial struggles and how she had previously taken an advance on her salary to pay for her family member's surgery.

So, despite their burning curiosity, they let the subject drop.

But the lack of a name didn't stop the gossip. By that afternoon, the news had leaked outside the company walls. Along with it came the viral photos of Bella being physically hauled out of the Blake Group building.

Overnight, Bella gained a brand-new title: the mistress.

Beautiful moments?

Lester highly doubted a man as cold and ruthless as Sebastian had ever given a woman any beautiful moments.

"Mr. Blake, is this really a good idea? It was kept a secret marriage the entire time, and you've been divorced for a while now. Going public at this stage might not be beneficial for either of you."

Sebastian shot him a sharp look. "Why wouldn't it be? I want the whole world to know about my relationship with Lillian.

She was my wife. My legal wife.

I'm willing to admit my mistakes, and as long as she forgives me, I'll do whatever it takes.

I didn't give her the status she deserved back then, but I am more than ready to give it to her now."

As Sebastian made his grand declaration, he entirely missed Lester rolling his eyes right in front of him.
