Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 721

Bella's marriage to Sebastian was practically set in stone. He was determined to push through every obstacle to marry her, completely ignoring the fierce opposition from his parents. Still, she worried that a few clueless people might spread rumors that could negatively impact them down the line.

Bella never allowed anything to jeopardize her interests.

Hannah listened to her concerns and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Bella. Leave this little matter to me.

I promise, no matter how big of a gossip they are, I'll make sure they keep their mouths firmly shut."

Bella gave a slight nod of gratitude.

She needed someone in her corner to do the dirty work, as it wasn't appropriate for her to handle certain things personally.

Having an ally was always an advantage.

Hannah was perfectly suited for the job.

If it weren't for her street smarts and networking skills, Hannah wouldn't have lasted by Bella's side.

After all, the rest of Bella's subordinates were elite talents who had graduated from the world's top-ranking universities.

It didn't take long for Hannah to start mingling and dropping hints, making it abundantly clear that anyone caught spreading nonsense would face consequences.

Everyone in the company knew Bella was about to become the boss's wife. No matter what they thought of her, they had to show respect for that title.

Even though she hadn't officially tied the knot yet, offending her now would only lead to a brutal retaliation once she officially became Mrs. Blake.

After all, the Blake Group was one of the most prestigious companies in Northwyn, offering unbeatable benefits and salaries.

No one wanted to risk their job, but they weren't stupid, either. Even though Sebastian was marrying Bella and often put on public displays of affection at the office, people secretly suspected that their relationship behind closed doors wasn't nearly as loving.

Just like right now, she refused to let the entire office gossip behind her back.

She couldn't completely stop the private murmurs, but she had to keep the chatter low enough so Sebastian wouldn't hear it and let it affect his judgment.

She didn't care about anyone else's opinion, but Sebastian's attitude was the one thing she couldn't afford to lose.

It was exactly why a single phone call from him—just a hint of severity in his tone—had been enough to send her rushing back to the office.

Fortunately, a text from her mother brought a wave of good news.

Her phone buzzed, and Bella immediately checked the screen.

In the photo Sabrina had just sent, Old Mr. Blake was walking into the game lounge of the high-end private club she was visiting, accompanied by a friend.

Bella's eyes lit up at the image. "Talk about a stroke of luck! Finding that old fossil on the very first day!"
