Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 507

"But you've been upset several times recently. You old fool, you're going to scare me to death."

Mrs. Blake's words piqued Lillian's concern.

Though she knew she shouldn't inquire about the Blake family's affairs, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Mrs. Blake had her sit down and began to recount Sebastian's recent activities.

"Sebastian brought that Bella to see us. He's determined to marry her, no matter what. We couldn't agree, so we argued.

"We've looked into this Bella. The Blake family cannot accept someone like her.

"No one like that has ever married into our family.

"Our position is that even if it's not you, Sebastian should choose someone from a suitable family, from a similar background.

"But he's fixated on that Bella. It has to be her, and no one else."

Mr. Blake cleared his throat. "Ahem… Why are you bringing this up? Our stance is clear. We will not allow that woman to marry into our family."

Lillian understood. Mr. Blake didn't want his wife to describe how much Sebastian loved Bella.

Perhaps he thought she would be jealous.

But she was long past having such feelings.

"Sebastian is the kind of person who will do whatever he sets his mind to.

"He's primarily driven by personal gain.

"But when it comes to choosing a woman, he's ultimately attracted to strength.

"He sees something powerful in Bella, so even if you try to persuade him, it won't work.

"Sebastian and I are divorced. From now on, we will have no relationship whatsoever. If he remarries, I wish him well.

"However, Mr. Blake, Mrs. Blake, this is a family matter for the Blakes. It's really not my place to interfere. If you're hoping for me to do something, I'm afraid I really can't help."

Sebastian wanted to get married, yet the elder Blakes had come to see her. Lillian could easily guess that they wanted something from her.

But when it came to the Blake family's affairs, Lillian now felt she should stay far away and not get involved.

She had been dragged into their messes countless times and was tired of it.

Now that those two were planning to marry, if the elders pulled her into the battlefield, she would just become cannon fodder.

Bella would undoubtedly see her as an even greater thorn in her side, assuming she was trying to steal her man.

And Sebastian would surely think she couldn't let him go and was deliberately pestering him.
