Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 958

Despite not having practiced her pickpocketing skills in years, Debbie found Sabrina to be an incredibly easy target. The phone was hers, and Sabrina hadn't even had the chance to lock the screen.

Debbie didn't even need to find someone to crack the password. She quickly registered her own fingerprint, gaining full, unrestricted access to Sabrina's device.

It took half an hour for Sabrina to realize her phone was missing. She had no memory of where she might have left it, completely oblivious to the fact that Debbie's 'accidental' bump was a calculated theft.

While Sabrina frantically searched for her device, Debbie was having the time of her life going on a massive shopping spree.

When Martin started receiving a flood of outrageous credit card alerts, he frantically tried to contact Sabrina. He had to call the house phone to finally discover she had lost her mobile.

A quick review of the bank statements revealed a staggering list of purchases: designer women's fashion, premium ingredients, and vintage French wines. Sabrina instantly realized these were all Debbie's signatures.

The charges came from both high-end boutiques and online stores, which meant one thing—Debbie hadn't stayed locked in the hotel room. She had gone out to paint the town red.

In just a few short hours, she had racked up a $500,000 spending spree on Martin's credit card.

The Mercer Group was already bleeding cash, and Sabrina barely dared to spend a dime herself. Seeing the astronomical bill made Martin erupt in a fit of rage, unleashing a torrent of vicious curses at Sabrina.

Feeling deeply wronged, Sabrina scrambled to find Bella and explained the disaster.

She still needed Debbie. Tearing each other apart now would ruin everything.

Meanwhile, as Bella and Debbie argued in the VIP lounge, Sebastian's men had descended on Bella's hotel.

Fortunately for Debbie, her shopping spree meant she narrowly avoided the sweep. Although his men didn't find Debbie in the room, Sebastian remained convinced. He was certain Bella had taken his mother, likely moving her to a more secure location.

Back at the mall, Bella wasn't about to give Debbie any chance to escape. She immediately ordered her guards to return everything that could be refunded. Whatever couldn't be returned, she seized.
