Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1340

After eavesdropping, Lucas scrambled away in a panic to call Bella.

When Bella heard what Lucas had to say, her entire body seized with tension.

"How did the Blake family find out Debbie was with the Sapphire Enforcers so quickly?

"Damn it! Why are they trying to snatch her from me now of all times?"

Without Debbie, there was no way Bella could access the money.

That money was her golden ticket to a better future.

If she lost it, her days of living comfortably were over.

"Bella, I have no idea," Lucas stammered. "I just overheard Mr. Reed talking about it when I walked past his office.

"What do we do now? From what they were saying, as soon as Mr. Blake's money clears, they're handing Debbie back to them tonight."

Bella felt the blood rush to her head, a throbbing pressure building behind her eyes.

"No. Absolutely not. We have to get either the password or the woman.

"If we can't find Debbie, they'll just trade her back.

"You have to keep a close eye on them. Whether you intercept her on the way or find another method, Debbie cannot fall back into the hands of the Blake family.

"If she does, and she runs her mouth, we are finished.

"Sebastian is desperate for a quick divorce. He's dreaming of finding something to use against me so he can toss me aside."

Bella was acutely aware of the danger. The moment Debbie returned to the Mercer family, the dynamics would shift entirely.

If she didn't control the hostage, she couldn't control the situation.

"Don't worry, Bella. I'll figure something out," Lucas promised.

"But... I'm just one guy. I'm terrified that something might go wrong, and if I can't intercept her, what do we do?"
