Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 715

I didn't want any of this! I wanted to make Bella proud, but I can't even do that!"

With Sabrina weeping so pitifully, Martin couldn't bring himself to blame her. He could only soothe her with a gentle voice.

"Didn't I already promise to set aside some money for Bella's dowry? Don't overthink everything else, okay?

Bella is highly capable. As long as she marries Sebastian and secures her place as the matriarch of the Blake family, she'll be co-managing the company with him.

She'll practically own half of the Blake Group. What is there to worry about?"

Not worry? Right now, Sabrina felt that nothing offered more security than cold, hard cash in hand.

If the Blake family matched Lillian's standards and gave Bella an equivalent bridal gift, that would mean millions of dollars straight into Bella's pocket.

If they secured that money, she would never have to worry about a thing for the rest of her life.

She wouldn't have to walk on eggshells around the Mercer family anymore, and she certainly wouldn't spend another minute doing those humiliating live apologies.

But without that kind of capital, she was entirely at the mercy of others.

Fortunately, Bella was sharp enough to plan on deploying their trump card: Debbie.

"I'm not worried, I just feel useless," Sabrina whimpered. "Martin, I'm just worthless, aren't I?"

Martin patted her soothingly. "Alright, stop overthinking. None of that matters. Right now, your health is the most important thing."

"I don't think I'm ever going to get better. Martin, please talk to the doctor and let me stay home. I don't want to live in a hospital, smelling nothing but disinfectant. And if it's my time to go, I don't want it to be in some cold, sterile room. At least let me die in my own bed, so I can finally have some peace."

Before she could finish, Martin grew angry.

Sabrina hadn't even begun to pry, yet she had just been handed the exact information she needed: Old Mr. Blake frequented those places.

A surge of joy rushed through her. This was practically being handed her desires on a silver platter!

The news couldn't have arrived at a better time.

"Can I really go to places like that?" she asked hesitantly. "What if I run into someone like Old Mr. Blake? You're sure I won't get thrown out?"

"Of course not. Old Mr. Blake is a reasonable man. At worst, you just make sure not to disturb him."

Sabrina secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After stalling for an appropriate amount of time, she finally let Martin head back to the office.

Then she immediately called Bella to share the massive breakthrough. "Sweetheart, I didn't ask Martin to set up a meeting with Old Mr. Blake, but I just found out something huge..."
