Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 984

A freezing chill washed over Bella. The absolute last thing she wanted was for anyone to know about Lillian's past with Sebastian.

Listening to the relentless whispers outside, she knew everyone was dying to figure out the identity of The Secret Ex-Wife.

They had explicitly heard the name 'Lillian.' Would they connect it to the Lillian Mercer who was currently making headlines?

Hardly anyone left in the company had been around during the early days when Lillian helped Sebastian build the business, so it would only be speculation without hard proof.

But hearing the gossip was enough to drive Bella completely insane.

"Haven't you gossiping old hags talked enough? Get out! Get the hell out of my face!"

Bella shrieked at the top of her lungs, but the staff just stared at her like she was the punchline to a joke.

Right on cue, following Sebastian's orders, Blake Group Security marched in and grabbed Bella by the arms, ready to drag her away.

Bella thrashed and fought like a wild animal, but she was no match for a group of strong, heavily-built men.

"What do you think you're doing?! Don't you dare touch me! Let me go... get your filthy hands off me!"

No one paid her screams any mind. Seeing how violently she was struggling, the guards simply hoisted her into the air by her arms and legs and carried her out of the department.

Along the way, countless employees witnessed the spectacle, their faces painted with utter shock.

Bella screamed and cursed the entire time, but it was useless. All she managed to do was invite a chorus of mocking laughter.

As she was hauled past the tech department, Hannah Quinn stood casually sipping a coffee. With her free hand, she held up her phone and snapped a rapid barrage of photos of the chaotic scene.

Finally, Hannah lowered her phone, a deeply satisfied smirk playing on her lips.

A coworker standing behind her found it surprising.

"I always thought you were Miss Ward's loyal sidekick. I didn't expect you to turn on her the second she fell from grace.
