Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 775

"Sebastian, I heard you were stressed. What's going on? Did something happen?"

Sebastian rubbed his temples. "It's nothing. Just the fallout from all the online drama. My parents are convinced Lillian was wrongfully imprisoned, and they want to help clear her name. They dumped the whole mess on me. What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to fix it?"

Bella's heart skipped a beat, her entire body instantly going on high alert.

"What? How could they do that? She went through a legal trial and was convicted. She already served her time. If they clear her name now, doesn't that mean she went to prison for nothing?

Besides, Lillian and I were the only ones there that day. If she didn't do it, are they going to make me take the fall?

Your parents were out of the country when it happened. They had no idea what the situation was like here. How could they make such a rash decision and force you to handle it?"

She had assumed his parents had called him over for dinner just to pressure him into calling off their impending wedding.

She never expected it to be about this.

This put a suffocating amount of pressure on her.

If Lillian wasn't the attacker, then the only other suspect was Bella.

Given her current social standing, could she really afford to be slapped with a charge of intentional assault or attempted murder?

That was a catastrophic burden she absolutely could not carry.

Especially not now, right before she was about to marry Sebastian and secure a life of absolute luxury.

His parents were constantly causing unnecessary drama. Bella's patience was wearing terrifyingly thin. She couldn't wait to send Debbie over to their house as a 'special gift' to give them a real taste of misery.
