Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 574

Colin also came to his senses. This wasn't a network issue or a system glitch.

This was a damn precursor to the company's collapse.

He was furious too. "For two days, Brandon and I did everything we could.

And of course, Mr. Chairman, you did everything you could, too.

You worked so hard to protect your mistress, terrified we might hurt her feelings.

Well, how do you feel now? Are you happy?"

Martin had never anticipated this scenario.

His impotent rage changed nothing.

Colin asked, "Brandon, what do we do now? Our money..."

Brandon sank powerlessly into his chair. What could they do? He had no idea.

At the Blake Group.

Sebastian had also been watching the Mercer Group's stock, planning to sell at the first opportunity.

But just as he was about to make his move, his trade got stuck too.

Meanwhile, a loud crash echoed from Bella's office, but no one dared to knock and check on her.

Bella had hurled her phone across the room, and then, in a fury, she swept everything off her desk onto the floor.

So much money was now tied up, with no way to get it out.

Bella had been planning to pull that money out to give herself some breathing room.

Bella had no choice but to pick it up. The screen was unresponsive. She took a new phone—one of the Blake Group's own brand—from her drawer, turned it on, and swapped the SIM card. Just as she finished, the call came through again.

It was Sabrina, her voice frantic.

"Bella... Bella, something's happened! What's going on with the Mercer Group? What about my money?"

Hearing her mother's desperate voice, Bella felt her own world go dark.

"Mom, my money is tied up too. Even if we could sell now, we'd lose a lot. If you have any debts, find a way to settle them immediately. Don't delay."

Bella's only hope now was Debbie, praying she could get the money from her friend soon.

She had hundreds of millions in Debbie's hands. As long as Debbie's friend paid her back, Bella wouldn't have much to worry about.

After all, that money would be more than enough to cover her debts.

But for some reason, her heart was pounding. She had a terrible feeling that something bad was about to happen.
