Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1010

Sabrina walked out of the hotel and immediately called Bella.

Even though Bella was swamped at the Mercer Group, she picked up on the first ring.

"You're incredible, sweetie. You beat that wretched woman into total submission.

But did you go a little too far this time? She can barely even eat. Her lips are so swollen that half the food I fed her just spilled right back out.

She's severely injured. It's going to take a long time for her to recover from this."

"You've already been there, Mom? If it's that bad, just buy her some medicine. We can't let her die just yet; I still need her.

If she can't feed herself, hire a maid to go take care of her.

And make sure the maid keeps a close eye on her. That woman causes too much trouble, and she pulls too many stunts. I can't just leave her there unsupervised.

If we just abandon her in that room, it's only a matter of time before she creates another disaster.

It's better to have someone watching her around the clock."

Sabrina agreed instantly. "Don't worry, I'll pick a tight-lipped maid from the house to go serve her.

That Debbie... her lips are swollen like sausages, and she still had the nerve to curse at me. Forget about you, even I wanted to beat her senseless just listening to her.

If she hadn't looked like she already had one foot in the grave, I probably would have."

"She'll never fix that toxic mouth of hers. Just make sure she's watched twenty-four-seven. She owes The Grand Sapphire Casino a $1 billion debt, and they have an army of people hunting her down. We cannot afford any mistakes."

"I know, sweetie, don't worry," Sabrina assured her. "I'll assign two people to watch her in shifts."

Busy with her own work, Bella hung up shortly after.

She completely trusted her mother to handle the Debbie situation.

Right now, her primary focus was on making her massive comeback. Whether the divorce went through or not, she needed to build her own empire. Otherwise, Sebastian would truly view her as worthless.

After ending the call, Bella stared intently at her computer screen.

If she conquered this project, she wouldn't be lagging too far behind Lillian.

Lillian was currently pouring her energy into a low-altitude aviation project, but the future of that sector was entirely unproven. No one had ever successfully scaled it before.

Choosing Project Apex, on the other hand, offered a crystal-clear path to profitability.

Even someone as short-sighted as Brandon could see its potential. Once it gained momentum, it would easily rival any other major venture.

Bella had made her decision, but she had no intention of telling Brandon just yet.

She was going to wait for him to come crawling to her, begging for her help.

The Mercer Group already possessed fully operational smartphone and home appliance manufacturing lines.

Those state-of-the-art facilities had originally been upgraded to handle the Blake Group partnership. Bella knew firsthand that they were equipped with the absolute best machinery available.

Since losing the Blake Group contract, those pristine production lines had been sitting completely idle.
