“Even if it was just to clear the air, I bet she wouldn't say a single word.
The Mercer family has no hope of finding a solution through Lillian.
You should stay out of this. Now that you've told me, I'm turning off my phone so they can't find me either.
My wedding to Sebastian cannot be jeopardized. I won't get involved in anything that might affect it.”
Sabrina asked, “By the way, Bella, I haven't asked you yet. Sebastian doesn't have any second thoughts, does he? With all this trouble in the Mercer family, will it affect you with the Blake family?”
Mentioning this, Bella felt a surge of pride.
“You don't need to worry about that. Sebastian is very good to me, and he's dead set on marrying me this time. He even fought with the Blake elders over it. The Mercer family’s problems haven't changed his mind. The wedding is still on. I just have to be extra careful. With so much going on, it would be a huge loss if it did end up affecting our marriage, wouldn't it?”
Sabrina understood that this was the priority.
“You're right. Our focus right now has to be on Sebastian. We can't let him get away.
You've waited so many years. He's finally divorced Lillian, and the Blake elders are no longer an obstacle. Now is the perfect time to get married.
If anything happens with the Mercer family, I'll handle it. You just focus on planning your wedding and don't worry about this mess.”
Sabrina had originally used the Mercer family as a springboard to launch her daughter into a more prestigious family.
It seemed to have worked, but now that the Mercers were in so much trouble, she couldn’t risk a public apology. She could admit fault within the family, but never openly. She had to preserve an escape route for her daughter.
The Blake elders already looked down on her and her daughter's background. She couldn't hand them ammunition to use against them.
