Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1097

Mr. Reed, a hardened man who exuded a dangerous aura, eyed the imposing corporate headquarters. Look at this place. Did his men really think security was just going to let them stroll into the elevator?

"Look at this place," Mr. Reed grunted. "We'll scope it out first. If we can't get in, we'll just wait and ambush this CEO.

We didn't pull that money out of thin air. That's a $1 billion debt, and we are collecting every cent. Worst case scenario, we give him a slight discount to show some goodwill, but we're not walking away empty-handed."

Meanwhile, Bella had left the hotel completely enraged. Her encounter with Debbie had only fueled her burning desire to bleed Sebastian dry in the divorce settlement.

Back inside the Blake Group, Lester hurried into the executive suite to report the situation brewing downstairs.

"Mr. Blake, how would you like to handle this?"

Sebastian remained composed. He pondered for a brief second before issuing his orders. "Go down there personally and tell their leader that my lobby is not the place for this conversation. Clear twenty minutes from my afternoon schedule and book a private, quiet location. I'll meet with them."

Sebastian was intimately familiar with cleaning up these kinds of messes.

Lester nodded sharply. "Understood, boss. I'll take care of it right now."

Lester took the private elevator to the ground floor and quickly intercepted the Sapphire Enforcers before they could cause a scene.

"Gentlemen," Lester said smoothly, stepping into their path. "I'd appreciate it if you respected our place of business. After all, Mr. Blake isn't the one who borrowed your money.

By all logic, you should be hunting down the person who actually incurred the debt.

I'm sure you understand that this lobby isn't the kind of place where you can just throw your weight around."

Mr. Reed's expression instantly darkened.

As operators of a highly illegal underground empire, they were completely out of their element in the pristine halls of the Blake Group.
