Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 500

"Okay! I'll pick a suitable island, and then we can have a private ceremony. That way, no one can come and cause trouble."

Sebastian didn't say anything more, and Bella happily went off to start her search.

She had said she would use her spare time for planning, but once she was back in her office, Bella couldn't contain her excitement.

She spent the entire morning doing virtually no work, instead focusing on consulting with wedding planners and choosing an island.

She wanted to have everything settled by noon so she could relax and wait to become a beautiful bride.

By lunchtime, Bella's phone was ringing off the hook as the various vendors she had contacted started calling her back.

Among them was a call from the car dealership.

Her new Rolls-Royce had arrived, and the dealership had prepared it according to her specifications.

It was just time for the lunch break, but Bella grabbed her bag and hurried out.

Hannah called after her, "Bella, aren't you going to eat?"

Bella replied, "I'll eat at the dealership. Don't worry about me, I'll be back in a bit."

Meanwhile, Sebastian was having a simple business lunch in his office. When his executive assistant delivered it, he casually mentioned, "Miss Ward asked me to reassign her old parking spot at the company. She needs a larger, permanent spot from now on. Did Miss Ward buy a new car?"

Sebastian said, "I haven't heard anything. Just find one for her."

Bella often drove cars from the Mercer family, but recently he had noticed she was either having someone pick her up or he was giving her a ride, so she probably wasn't using the family cars anymore.

The Mercers had given her a lot of money, so it was perfectly normal for her to buy a car.

So when Sebastian came by to ask about her work progress, Bella could only laugh it off and try to bluff her way through.

Sebastian was a little annoyed. Wasn't her professional competence what he valued in her?

If she couldn't even work hard anymore, what else was there for him to value?

But despite his displeasure, Sebastian didn't say anything. He had more pressing matters on his mind.

When work ended, Bella had wanted to ask Sebastian to celebrate her new car with her, but after dodging his questions about work, she felt it would be awkward. So, she asked Hannah instead. Hannah was, of course, delighted to get a free ride, a free meal, and a lift home.

Having a new car that she couldn't show off or even drive to the Mercer villa left Bella feeling deeply resentful.

But there was nothing she could do. She kept a rental car parked at the new apartment she had bought for herself.
