Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1313

1313 /1384

They deserved to be locked in a cage together, torturing each other for the rest of their lives.

If Sebastian successfully got rid of Debbie and finalized his divorce, he would have too much free time on his hands. And free time meant he would inevitably orbit her life, disrupting her peace.

It was much better to keep him drowning in chaos. If he was busy putting out fires, he wouldn't have a spare second to bother her.

Therefore, Debbie couldn't die just yet.

Closing her office door, Lillian instructed Emma Ruiz not to let anyone disturb her under any circumstances.

She had urgent matters to monitor.

Miles away, Bella was completely oblivious to the fact that they were being tracked.

Lucas arrived at the rendezvous point, bringing extra styptic powder and medical gauze with him.

Debbie's stomach churned with mounting dread.

The mere thought of what was about to happen made her physically ill. The excruciating agony of having two fingers severed yesterday still pulsed through her veins. Now, they were going to chop off her entire hand? The pain would be unimaginable.

She considered backing out, but she had already sacrificed two fingers. Quitting now felt like a total loss.

Still, she hesitated.

"About my hand... could we just chop off a thumb instead? Doing this out in the middle of nowhere... what if I bleed out? There's no doctor out here. If I die in this shack, it's going to be a lot messier for you than a live broadcast."

Bella, already stressed and impatient, glared at her.

"Why do you talk so much? You're not going to die. Why do you think I bought all these medical supplies?"

In Bella's mind, sending two fingers hadn't been enough. Sending another single finger wouldn't carry the necessary shock value. A whole severed hand was the only way to break Sebastian's nerve.

If she sent him an entire hand and threatened to leak the video to the dark web, she wouldn't just get the $1.2 billion. She might even be able to push her $2 billion demand and actually get it.
