Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 403

Bella's face went pale when she heard this.

"You… you've gone too far!"

"How have we gone too far? Even Mr. Mercer would have to admit that everything in Ms. Lillian's room was provided by the matriarch. We helped decorate this room when Ms. Lillian was born. We helped redecorate it for her eighteenth birthday. All the furniture in here was brand new that year, a gift from the matriarch. Every piece of furniture, every decoration, was carefully selected. Everything in here is expensive. The custom bed and mattress alone cost a small fortune, and that sofa she loves was a custom piece that cost over eighty thousand dollars. Hmph, Ms. Lillian was in prison for two years, and you, Ms. Ward, have been squatting in her room for all that time. You've had your enjoyment long enough."

As she spoke, a few male servants had already come up with toolboxes. One of them was the villa's handyman, so dismantling a bed was no problem. He switched on a power drill and got to work, his carpentry skills evident as he quickly took the bed frame apart.

This was exactly what Bella had coveted. When she was studying abroad, she had seen wealthy classmates with similar things. Hearing that a single room's furnishings could be worth a fortune had made her green with envy. So when she moved into the Mercer villa over two years ago and saw that Lillian had such fine things, she had been thrilled. But it also fueled her hatred.

All those years, out of her sight, Lillian had been living such a luxurious life. Her food, her clothes, her lifestyle—it was as if Lillian was wrapped in gold and silver. Everything she owned was priceless. The contents of this room, in particular, made her burn with jealousy.
