Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 423

"I'm still a little resentful toward her.

But we're family, after all, and I even spoke up for her. But while she's still in custody, she somehow managed to convince all the staff at the Mercer residence to quit. I don't know where Lillian gets this kind of power. The other day, Victor Knight said her company was in trouble too. With so many servants following her now, will she even be able to pay their salaries? I'm afraid that in a couple of days, when the staff don't get paid, it'll just be another joke."

Sebastian couldn't help but frown as he listened.

To think he had recently started to see Lillian in a better light. Now he wondered if it was just because he knew she was sick and might die that he'd softened toward her.

It was true what they say: a leopard can't change its spots.

As time passed, Sebastian could barely remember the incident from two years ago clearly—whether he had actually seen Bella or Lillian push the Mercer family's matriarch, causing her to fall into a vegetative state.

This time, however, it was clear. Lillian had essentially repeated her old tricks, harming Sabrina and causing her to miscarry.

He never knew Lillian had such a malicious side to her.

"I misjudged her in the past. If I had known she was hiding such a vicious side, I never would have married her and let her become my son's mother, no matter what."

Bella gently took Sebastian's hand, her voice exceptionally soft. "Sebastian, what's done is done. You shouldn't dwell on it. But Dad is determined to kick Lillian out of the family. Her life probably won't be easy from now on. We should still find a way to help her out then. Lillian is probably out of money, and her company can't operate. I noticed she wasn't using her luxury car anymore and was taking ride-shares home."
