Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 813

"Care to guess the biggest piece of drama circulating today?" Leonard asked.

Lillian raised an eyebrow. "A new product launch in the tech sector? Unlikely. I always get industry news before anyone else."

Leonard chuckled. "True, but this is a different kind of news."

Lillian gave him a pointed look that silently demanded he cut to the chase, and Leonard grinned. "Sebastian and Bella signed The Blake Pre-Nuptial Agreement. Guess the terms."

Lillian remembered their promise to enjoy the unfolding chaos together.

Tracking her enemies' moves was essential for timing her own counterattacks perfectly.

Connecting the dots, she smiled wryly.

"Let me guess. Bella doesn't get a single dime. But what I don't understand is how she ever agreed to sign it. When it comes to greed, she and Sebastian are cut from the same cloth."

Leonard clapped his hands in mock applause. "You know his cold-blooded nature too well. Spot on. If they divorce, she walks away with absolutely nothing."

Despite expecting it, Lillian was still genuinely shocked. "She accepted those terms? Bella actually agreed to that?"

She studied Leonard's smug expression. It was obvious he had a well-placed mole inside the Blake Group.

Details regarding Sebastian's private legal documents wouldn't be floating around the water cooler.

"According to our source on his legal team, she signed it without even realizing what it was," Leonard said, his eyes dancing with amusement.

Lillian gasped. "Wait, without knowing? How did he pull that off?"

Leonard shrugged. "That's the legendary charm of Mr. Blake. He manipulated her into signing her rights away so he wouldn't have to look over his shoulder."

Lillian burst into laughter. "They truly deserve each other. Honestly, they should be permanently shackled together. I almost feel bad plotting against Bella now. They should just rot in the grave of their toxic marriage."

She could already picture the explosive fallout once the honeymoon phase ended.

"Are you telling me you had a hand in my divorce?"

Leonard froze.

This was not a conversation he was prepared for.

Ethan slapped a hand over his mouth, realizing he had just casually leaked highly classified information.

Crap.

Seeing Leonard avoid eye contact, Ethan mentally prepared himself to fall on his sword. He had sworn an oath to protect his boss, even if it meant taking the fall for a massive breach of trust.

Pivoting on his heel, Ethan awkwardly faced Lillian.

"Ethan, don't you dare move!" Lillian commanded.
