Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1273

"I've lost a lot of blood today, and everything hurts.

Bella, I sacrificed two fingers to partner with you on this. You're not going to keep torturing me, are you?"

"Once this place is cleaned up, I'll have someone look after you," Bella replied coldly.

She handed the severed fingers over to Lucas, instructing him to package them securely with Debbie's ransom note.

Following his earlier plan, he was to hand it off to his delivery driver friend to drop off at Sebastian's office.

Bella tossed him an extra twenty thousand in cash to pay off the friend.

Lucas swore he'd handle it flawlessly.

She then locked herself in the bathroom to shower. Since she practically lived in this presidential suite, she had plenty of clothes in the closet.

She changed into a fresh outfit and threw her blood-soaked clothes at Lucas.

"Go buy an identical rug and replace this one. Scrub every last drop of blood off the floor.

Tonight, take the ruined rug and my clothes somewhere isolated and burn them. Don't leave a single trace. Got it?"

"Don't worry, Miss Ward," Lucas nodded eagerly. "You've practically saved my life with that money. I'll remember this forever.

I'll make sure it's handled perfectly."

Bella's previously harsh tone softened slightly.

"You won't have to serve anyone else after this. Sticking with me might not bring you absolute glory, but I'll make sure you're taken care of.

From now on, just call me Bella."

Lucas's eyes lit up. "Got it, Bella."

Leaving the grisly cleanup entirely in his hands, Bella hurried out of the hotel.
