Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1343

After a quick sweep of the room revealed nothing suspicious, Sabrina finally stepped out. As she pulled the door shut behind her, a sudden realization hit her.

When Bella came back to the room earlier, she hadn't taken anything with her when she left.

Didn't she say she forgot something and came back to grab it?

By the time Sabrina reached the lobby, Bella was already long gone.

Sabrina didn't bother digging deeper. Maybe she was just getting old, and her daughter was finding her nagging insufferable.

With nowhere else to go, Bella drove around until she found a discreet, low-budget motel. She booked a room under a fake name and immediately started working the phones, trying to find the right muscle.

Lucas was at The Grand Sapphire Casino. He might not know exactly where Debbie Harris was being held, but the moment they moved her, he would notice.

Tailing them wouldn't be too hard.

Her job was to intercept the transfer. Naturally, she couldn't show her face.

Fortunately, she still had some funds stashed away. It wasn't a fortune, but it was enough to bankroll a hit.

After transferring a cool fifty grand, her hired guns confirmed they would rendezvous with Lucas later that evening.

With an inside man and hired muscle on the outside, snatching Debbie back from the casino enforcers should be a walk in the park.

The fifty grand stung, but the thought of the $1.2 billion quickly erased any lingering regret.

What was fifty grand compared to over a billion dollars?

Time ticked away. At the Blake Group, Sebastian's secretary, Lester Ross, quickly wired the $800 million demand.

The transaction cleared instantly, landing straight into the accounts of the broker, Elias Ashford.

He would take his customary percentage as a fee. That was the rule of the underworld.
