Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 991

"Hmph... No matter what, Sebastian Blake is my son. My biological son. Do you really think he'd be that ruthless to his own mother?"

"I couldn't care less about any of that," Bella Ward retorted. "Sebastian really pissed me off today. Do you have any idea how much I've done for him? I raked in so much money for the company, and now he's just thrown me out on the street.

Tell me, how cruel is that? He's as cold-blooded as they come.

I was in a terrible mood today, so naturally, you came to mind.

Debbie Harris, tell me—what are we going to do about the massive debt you owe me?"

It was no small sum. Nowadays, whenever she saw a landline number flash on her screen, her heart would race, terrified it was the loan sharks tracking her down.

She wasn't about to shoulder this suffocating anxiety all by herself.

When she originally borrowed the money, she figured she would just pay off the high-interest loan as soon as Debbie repaid her.

Now that the lies were exposed, it was painfully clear she wasn't getting a dime back from Debbie. Bella's heart bled at the thought; it was a despair no one else could possibly understand.

So, needing a punching bag, she naturally came looking for Debbie.

This woman was a liar anyway, even daring to steal money from Sabrina Ward. Bella decided to use her foul mood as an excuse to teach the hag a brutal lesson.

"Hmph, you think you're any better?" Debbie spat back. "My son just fell for your tricks before. He was manipulated by a scheming bitch like you.

He's finally woken up to the truth, which is exactly why he did it. Personally, I think he did a brilliant job! Keeping a toxic parasite like you in the company would only drag him down sooner or later.

He was right to kick you out early. At least it brings some peace and quiet to the office.

Bella Ward, you shot yourself in the foot, and you completely deserve it!"

Those words finally snapped the last shred of Bella's self-control.

She stood up and delivered a vicious slap right across Debbie's face.

Don't tell me you've already forgotten about the time you hit me?

You laid your hands on me first. If I don't return the favor, you'd get off entirely scot-free.

Besides, I told you upfront that I was in a terrible mood. Why did you insist on provoking me?

So, you brought this on yourself. You're asking for it."

With that, Bella unleashed a flurry of brutal punches, the heavy metal of the Brass Knuckles connecting violently against Debbie's face and body.

She only stopped when her own arms grew tired.

Debbie's face had been beaten to an unrecognizable pulp, covered in mottled bruises. She spat out a mouthful of blood, several of her teeth now visibly loose.

The bodyguard finally released his grip, and Debbie collapsed heavily to the floor. Between garbled whimpers, she continued to curse. "Bella... you vicious slut. How dare you do this to me? I swear I'll kill you!"
