Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1305

Leonard smoothly replied, "I'll have my people keep a close eye on them. We won't let Bella kill her just yet.

Even if Debbie is meant to die, it won't be by Bella's hand—not today."

Lillian gave a slight nod. She never turned down Leonard's assistance.

They were a team. His moves were as good as her own.

"Honestly, the mess in Northwyn has nothing to do with Debbie.

She brought this upon herself with her gambling addiction. And she was foolish enough to let Bella manipulate her for money."

Ethan chimed in, "Ms. Mercer, that massive loan Bella took from The Blood-Debt Vultures is due any day now. She must be feeling the heat."

A spark of realization flashed in Lillian's eyes. No wonder things had escalated so violently.

The deadline was approaching.

Bella was desperate to scrounge up the cash.

Suddenly, it all clicked into place for Lillian. The entire puzzle was essentially solved in her mind.

"I think I've pieced together exactly what happened."

Ethan, always eager for gossip, leaned in. "What did you figure out? Tell us."

Lillian smiled faintly. "Once Marcus sends the intel, we'll have the complete picture.

But let's shelf that for now. We have a major agenda today—inspecting the Winthrop family's factory and making a final decision on the partnership. We can't delay."

Ethan straightened up. "The cars are ready. We'll head straight to their site and meet up with Miss Bennett and Emma."

Lillian nodded. "Let's go."

She checked her watch; it was only a quarter past nine.

It was much earlier than she usually started her day, but given the heavy schedule, an early start was necessary.
