Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 936

Everyone knew Hannah Quinn was Bella Ward's most trusted confidante.

However, Hannah had long realized that someone like Bella wasn't worth her loyalty, let alone her sacrifices.

Since she wasn't worth anything, Hannah wasn't going to waste another second on her.

From the moment Bella introduced her to Brandon Mercer, only to refuse to put in a good word for her, all the way to letting Hannah lose a massive chunk of her own paycheck without a second thought, Hannah knew Bella was a lost cause.

Now that Bella was drowning in disaster, Hannah secretly hoped she would just crash and burn entirely.

That way, they wouldn't even have to see each other at the office anymore.

Those lost thousands of dollars had basically been life-saving funds for her.

Her closest family member had been lying in a hospital bed waiting for surgery money, and Bella hadn't shown a shred of concern from start to finish.

Even a casual friend, or just an ordinary coworker from the same department, would have at least sent a fruit basket out of basic courtesy.

But Bella? She claimed they were best friends, practically sisters, yet treated Hannah like a glorified servant. When she needed something, she demanded it. When she didn't, she treated Hannah like she didn't exist.

Meanwhile, having heard Hannah's update, Bella couldn't afford to care about office politics.

She immediately focused on her most urgent task: selling her car.

Although buyers had slashed the price by a massive margin, she still managed to secure millions of dollars in cash, which temporarily solved her desperate need for liquid funds.

However, offloading her Mercer Group Shares was a completely different nightmare.

Bella had reached out to every connection she had, but couldn't find a single buyer.

The moment they heard the shares were tied to the Mercer Group, they instantly lost interest.

Of course, she had to move fast. If word got out that she was liquidating her assets, the loan sharks would immediately come hunting for her.

After all, both the car and the house had originally been leveraged.

She never intended to use shady tactics to sell them, but her situation was so dire she had no other choice.

Because the car had some damage, she sold it at a steep discount just to get rid of it quickly.

The transaction was incredibly fast.

As for the house, it was in a prime location, beautifully renovated, and most importantly, she had never even lived in it. It was practically brand new, so it sold instantly.

But for the sake of speed, she had to take another brutal financial hit on the asking price.

A premium property like that should have commanded a fortune, but given the circumstances, she couldn't negotiate. Bella just had to bite the bullet and accept the loss.
