Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 955

Sebastian hung up the phone, his scowl deepening as he sat behind his desk. The thought of those two women colliding gave him a massive headache.

He immediately dispatched men to investigate the casinos Debbie had frequented, while ordering another team to track Bella's movements.

It suddenly dawned on him that Bella had been staying at a hotel, paying for it with the Black Card before he froze it. There was a solid chance she was hiding out there. He quickly sent operatives to search the hotel.

Meanwhile, at the hotel.

Debbie slept until noon, waking up to her stomach growling violently. She suddenly remembered the takeout Bella had ordered for her the night before.

Her palate had grown incredibly spoiled; the mere sight of cheap, pre-packaged food made her gag. Going from premium ingredients to cheap takeout had killed her appetite. Even though she had been starving last night, she had refused to touch it.

Now, the hunger was unbearable.

Reluctantly, Debbie wandered out of the bedroom and opened the untouched plastic bag from the night before. The moment she lifted the lid, a sour, rancid smell hit her. It hadn't been refrigerated, and after nearly twelve hours, the food was entirely spoiled.

Pinching her nose, she pushed the container far away. Glancing at the clock, she realized it was past midday. Even if Bella wasn't going to show up, she couldn't just leave her to starve, right? Knowing she had no money, no phone, and no ID, was the girl actually planning to let her rot here?

"Well, well. Is that any way to greet me?" Sabrina sneered.

Debbie crossed her arms. "I don't want to see anyone. Where is Bella? She pulled me out of there just to let me starve? If this is how she plans to treat me, I'm done playing along."

Bella had already briefed Sabrina on Debbie's desperate situation. Hearing the woman act so high and mighty made Sabrina burst into cold laughter.

"Done playing along? With your current circumstances, where exactly do you think you can go? Debbie, you ruined my daughter's life, and I haven't even begun to settle the score with you. How dare you put on airs with me! Save it. Do you really think you can still fool us? You scammed my daughter out of a fortune. I'm amazed lightning hasn't struck you dead yet. You were a nobody, yet you lied to our faces for months. You filthy bitch, you're done playing along? Fine. Get out. Let's see if the Sapphire Enforcers don't hack you to pieces the second you step out of this room. You owe them a $1 billion debt. Did you think it was ten bucks? A billion! How are you going to pay that back? With your washed-up, wrinkled face, you couldn't cover a fraction of it even if you sold yourself on the street!"
