Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 579

Bella’s face darkened. She felt a surge of resentment every time she thought of that money. She had never wanted to borrow it in the first place; the Mercer brothers had forced her and her mother to sign the papers. And now, that debt was being counted against her.

“I’m not broke, so you’d better think carefully. My money is just tied up with someone else and will be returned soon. This is just a short-term loan to get me through. If you’re willing to accept my collateral, we can do the paperwork. If not, you’re not the only lender in Northwyn.”

With that, Bella stood up to leave.

“Go ahead and try, Miss Ward,” one of them said. “You’ll find we have the lowest interest rates and the fastest approvals in the city. Go on, ask around.”

Bella didn’t look back, leaving without the money.

She spent some time making inquiries and discovered they were right. When Brandon had needed a loan, he had considered all his options, and this firm was indeed known for its low rates. But they were also cautious. Their top priority was ensuring their loans were secure and repaid.

In the end, Bella couldn't find anyone willing to lend her the money.

She wasn’t the only one struggling. The situation at the Mercer family was just as grim. By the end of the workday, none of the Mercer men had returned home.

Bella got home late as well. The moment she walked in, Sabrina rushed over.
