Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 922

Sebastian's brow furrowed tightly. A single, sweeping glance over Bella was enough to fill him with suffocating irritation. The sheer sight of her made his stomach turn.

In her frantic state, Bella completely failed to notice that he had driven in from the outside, rather than walking out of the estate doors. Her delusional questions only deepened his absolute disgust.

He used to think she was brilliant, a fiercely intelligent woman who outshone the rest. But ever since Lillian's true identity as 'Li' had come to light, Sebastian realized just how monumentally stupid Bella actually was.

She had brought her biological mother, Debbie Harris, into their lives, foolishly believing she could use her to extort his parents for leverage. She hadn't even bothered to do a basic background check. If she had, she would have known that Old Mr. Blake felt nothing but contempt for Debbie, and that Sebastian himself loathed the woman to his very core.

That catastrophic miscalculation alone shattered any illusion of Bella's intelligence. And then there were her other blunders—the absurd demand for a billion-dollar dowry, letting Debbie roam freely around Northwyn without any oversight, and treating a dangerous liability like a harmless pet while hemorrhaging millions of dollars in the process. It was the behavior of an absolute fool.

He had always admired her business acumen, but compared to the staggering genius Lillian had just revealed to the world, Bella's little corporate tricks were utterly pathetic.

"Bella," Sebastian said coldly, his voice dripping with venom. "Just so we're absolutely clear, no one threatened me. I am divorcing you on my own terms. Even if we ignore everything else, the trending scandal that exploded online today is more than enough reason to end this."
