Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 457

Bella’s eyes lit up. A hundred million dollars?

She would make an extra ten million just like that?

It would take her years of work to earn ten million.

Besides, the way Debbie framed it added a layer of credibility.

Initially, the figure of sixty million would have made Bella immediately back out. But thinking it over, it didn’t seem so impossible.

After all, she had already lent out thirty million. If she refused to help now, it would definitely upset Debbie.

She still had money on hand, so she could spare it.

After weighing the situation in her mind, she decided it was feasible and agreed right away.

“Ma’am, sixty million is definitely a lot of money. I do have some funds, but if I lend them to you, I’ll have to divert them from something else. You know, diverting funds…”

Before she could finish, Debbie cut her off. “Bella, don’t you worry. I’ll have the money back to you in less than ten days. With ten million in interest for a ten-day loan, it won’t affect your plans at all. You’re going to be my daughter-in-law. I would never do anything to harm you, would I?”

With Debbie putting it that way, Bella found it hard to say anything else.

She agreed and immediately transferred sixty million dollars to her.

Once again, with a single phone call, Debbie had sixty million in her account.

The casino’s minders, who stood beside her and watched her spin the tale without batting an eye, were impressed by how convincing she was. But they’d heard plenty of lies from gamblers, so it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.

It did, however, raise their estimation of Debbie’s resources.

Someone who could conjure up sixty million over the phone was clearly not an ordinary person.

Their attitude toward her became even more deferential. They fawned over her, speaking respectfully, as if afraid of offending her.

To be gambling at that level in a casino…

Winning and losing hundreds of millions in the blink of an eye—was the woman out of her mind?

Even if the Blake family was wealthy, this was no way to spend their money.

She had already sent a hint to the Blake estate. Why hadn’t the old couple done anything yet?

As Lillian pondered this, she felt something was off.

Back at the Blake family estate, Noah was sorting through the mail a servant had collected from the mailbox. He picked up a particular envelope, played with it for a moment, then tore it open. A small object with a griffin emblem fell out.

He examined it from all angles. The emblem looked like a decorative piece from some toy or trinket, nothing valuable.

Having been surrounded by treasures since birth, Noah had a discerning eye. He gave the cheap-looking thing a dismissive glance and tossed it in the trash.
