Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 601

What she didn't know was that, at that moment, Debbie was having the time of her life at a casino.

A one-billion-dollar line of credit was certainly enough to keep her entertained for a long time.

After all, it wasn't as if she was losing constantly.

In gambling, you lose some, and occasionally, you win some back.

Of course, throughout this process, the casino was already raking in a fortune.

But Debbie wasn't concerned with such things; she only cared about whether she was having fun.

Lucas stayed by her side, pocketing not only his regular fee but also generous bonuses for his ‘extra services.’

Debbie was a lavish spender and never skimped when it came to Lucas.

However, Lucas was beginning to fray at the edges, his stamina tested by the endless, neon-lit nights spent catering to Debbie’s every whim.

He would gamble all night, return to the hotel in the morning for a few hours of sleep, but it was usually during those few hours that his real work began.

At other times, he was merely a companion.

This kind of exhaustion was what truly took its toll.

In the morning, when Debbie returned to the hotel, Bella had already gotten up early to lie in wait for her, and she finally saw her.

Debbie was quite surprised to see Bella. “Bella, what brings you to see me so early?”

Bella couldn't very well say she was specifically there to ambush her, so she just smiled and said, “Ms. Harris, it's a coincidence. I'm staying at this hotel too. By the way, Ms. Harris, I'm a little tight on cash lately, you see…”

Debbie understood. Although she hadn't followed the whole saga with the Mercer family, she knew the gist of it, and Lucas would proactively keep her updated.
