Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1096

Bella stared coldly at Debbie, the older woman's words sending a violent chill down her spine.

Cunning?

Heartless?

What else was he hiding?

Bella felt a suffocating wave of despair pulling her under.

She wasn't entirely sure how cunning Sebastian could be in a courtroom, but she had certainly experienced his heartlessness firsthand.

The moment he decided to end the marriage, he hadn't just filed the papers; he had ruthlessly banished her from the company.

She had witnessed his cold-blooded nature up close.

Yet, even now, she couldn't wrap her head around how she had failed so spectacularly with him.

She had crossed paths with countless men in her life. Why did she have to fall so desperately for him?

What was so great about Sebastian anyway?

Everything he had was handed to him by the Blake family. Sure, he was capable and had expanded his own ventures, but looking back, Lillian Mercer probably deserved half the credit for his success.

Yet, Sebastian had completely erased Lillian's contributions from history.

Bella leveled a venomous glare at Debbie. "You are a piece of trash, and you are going to die a miserable death.

I can't wait to watch you burn."

Debbie waved her hand dismissively, completely unfazed by the threat.

"Death? We're all headed for the grave eventually. If I dropped dead in the next second, I'd say I had a hell of a run.

I slept with a strikingly handsome billionaire and successfully secured his bloodline.

I've eaten the finest food, drank the best liquor, and gambled billions of dollars at the tables.

How many women on this earth get to live as wild and free as I have?

You and your mother are the pathetic ones. You're small-minded, lack ambition, and your luck is garbage.

You don't have the guts to kill me, and you're still the one paying for my room service.

You even dragged your own mother in here to wait on me the other day. See? I still won.

What can you actually do to me? Old Mr. Blake and my son might despise me, but they won't kill me.

Will my own son take my life?

No. He'll just grit his teeth and pay my debts."

At that exact moment, the heavy hitters from the Sapphire Enforcers finally pulled up to the towering glass facade of the Blake Group headquarters.

"Mr. Reed, this is the place."

"The CEO of the Blake Group is actually Debbie's flesh and blood?" Mr. Reed asked, his eyes narrowing. "Damn. Talk about a massive family scandal."

"You can count on it, boss. We missed the news about his flashy wedding before, but we've got all the intel now.

A son paying off his mother's debts is just the way the world works. Since we know he's the guy, let's head up and get our cash."
