Martin had always had a soft spot for Sabrina. Seeing her collapse before him, a mess of tears and snot, his heart naturally softened.
Bella quickly chimed in to support her mother.
“Dad, Mom isn’t a fool. It all happened so fast, and she cherished the baby so much. There’s no way she would have harmed herself.
So much time has passed, and Lillian had this video the entire time. The fact that she’s releasing it now, at this critical moment, proves she came prepared.
What happened that day was an accident on Mom's part, but Lillian acted with intent.
Lillian wants to tear this family apart. She wants to bankrupt the Mercer Group.
Dad, what are we going to do now?”
Sabrina continued to wail, “It's all my fault. I didn't understand what was happening. Since it’s already done, I should be the one to bear the responsibility. It’s all my fault. This all happened because of me.
I’ll apologize. I’ll admit I was wrong. Let me take all the blame. I’ll go beg for her forgiveness.”
Martin pulled her up. “It was an emergency, and you were pregnant. The doctor had already said that getting pregnant at your age wasn’t easy, so you were naturally on edge.
I know what kind of person you are. You certainly didn’t do it on purpose.
But now that public opinion has turned, outsiders who don’t know your character will surely think you deliberately framed Lillian.
This was supposed to be a family matter, but that ungrateful daughter had to broadcast it online for everyone to see.
Bella is right. She’s had this video for a while; otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten out of the police station so easily that day.
She’s had it all along. This has been blowing up online for the past week, yet she never said a word. She waited for the situation to escalate to find the perfect moment to strike.
She wants to destroy my company. That witch, she’s even ruthless enough to attack her own father.”
With them gone, they could more easily manipulate Martin.
Martin had always been susceptible to Sabrina's influence.
Bella was also in a panic, worrying about her money every second.
Although she had gone into it with a gambler's mentality, telling herself it wouldn't matter if she lost since she had hundreds of millions she’d temporarily lent to Debbie, the reality was different.
Despite that mental preparation, she never truly thought she would lose the money.
Deep down, she still believed she was going to make a fortune, to get rich in one fell swoop.
But now, facing a real loss, Bella's turmoil was palpable.
Sabrina, however, wasn't thinking about her own money yet. She knew her top priority was to hold on tightly to Martin, her meal ticket.
