Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 719

So what if it affected her work?

Of course, she didn't have the nerve to say that out loud and openly challenge him. She just dreaded whatever nasty ultimatum he was about to drop on her, so she quickly interrupted him.

"Sebastian, rest assured, I won't let the wedding interfere with my professional duties. I'm just wrapping up a tiny errand, and then I'll head straight back to the office."

Since she had already backed down, he didn't push it any further.

"Is the Mercer family's petty drama really worth your time and energy?" he muttered, before abruptly hanging up on her.

He was right—the Mercer family drama wasn't worth her energy. But that wasn't what she was pouring her efforts into anyway.

Brushing off his harsh attitude, she immediately arranged for a chauffeur to drop Debbie off at the country club to meet Sabrina.

*I'm going to give you the ultimate surprise, Sebastian,* she thought smugly. *I'm going to make sure Old Mr. Blake accepts me exactly the same way he embraced Lillian.*

*Whatever financial settlement she received, I'll get the exact same amount. Then, you'll finally look at me with the respect I deserve.*

*Besides, I'm the one paving the way for your mother to return to high society. That's something even you haven't been able to accomplish. When I pull this off, you'll be practically begging to thank me.*

Yes, right now he thought she was slacking off. But she was investing her time into something far more lucrative.

Sebastian had successfully secured his place in the wealthy elite, but all this time, he hadn't been able to elevate his own mother to her rightful status. He still had to watch that old bat playing the part of the family matriarch. Deep down, that had to be eating him alive, right?

It didn't matter. Soon enough, she would be the one to march Debbie through the front doors of the Blake family estate.

Checking her phone, she smiled at the selfie Sabrina had just sent her, showing she had successfully met up with Debbie. With her own mother on the case, there was no room for failure.
