Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1100

Seeing Sebastian's icy resolve, Julian realized he wasn't going to squeeze a single dime or clue out of him.

"Mr. Blake, put yourself in our shoes," Julian said, his tone turning menacing. "Your mother owes a billion dollars. By our industry standards, if nobody steps up to clear that ledger, the way we deal with defaulters gets extremely..."

Julian let the threat hang in the air.

After all, Sebastian was a billionaire CEO. A billion dollars was a drop in the bucket for him. If he wasn't paying, it wasn't because he couldn't—it was because he outright refused.

And if he refused, The Grand Sapphire Casino would have no qualms about leaving permanent marks on Debbie.

What exactly they'd carve into her depended entirely on Sebastian's attitude.

Sebastian's expression didn't shift a fraction of an inch. It was glaringly obvious that he couldn't care less what they did to her.

Deep down, he almost welcomed the idea. If these thugs permanently ensured Debbie could never cause him trouble again, it would be a relief.

She might have given birth to him, but nobody knew the sheer suffocating desperation he felt to escape her shadow.

If the Blake family hadn't needed an heir, he might have spent his entire life trapped in the trauma of his childhood.

Even after returning to his rightful place, Debbie's mere existence had been a constant source of chaos.

She had managed to stay relatively out of trouble for a couple of years.

But thanks to Bella Ward's recent manipulations, her old addiction had flared up worse than ever.

Yes, a billion dollars was nothing to the Blake Group or Sebastian's personal fortune.

But he refused to throw good money into the bottomless pit of her addiction.

He utterly despised Debbie, yet he was bound by the unfortunate reality that she had given him life.

No matter how much he wished she would just disappear, he had been forced to clean up after her time and time again.

Sebastian met Julian's gaze, his eyes dead and predatory, silently daring them to end her.
