Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1337

Just as he finished speaking, a voice rang out from the doorway. "We'll take the twenty percent discount. I just ask that Mr. Ashford brings her back to us as quickly as possible."

Sebastian Blake strode into the room.

Knowing the middleman was coming today, Sebastian had skipped lunch and rushed straight over from the office.

Debbie was a ticking time bomb. They couldn't leave her in someone else's hands any longer.

Sebastian just wanted to get her back where he could keep an eye on her, or maybe ship her far away so he wouldn't have to look at her. Or perhaps he could find a way to force her to quit gambling.

Maybe losing her other hand would finally stop her.

Sebastian agreed to the $800 million demand without hesitation.

The $1.2 billion plus the $800 million meant $2 billion in total. He considered this massive payout the final price to completely sever his ties with Debbie for the rest of his life.

Old Mr. Blake glanced at Sebastian, understanding exactly what was going through his son's mind.

Elias Ashford, the middleman, found Sebastian's terms reasonable and manageable.

He nodded in agreement.

"I'll handle the negotiations personally. A twenty percent discount shouldn't be an issue. I've dealt with similar cases before. They might not like losing the money, but they'll likely cave.

"So, Mr. Blake, do we have a deal?"

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Ashford," Sebastian replied.

Elias nodded, stood up, and took his leave.

Old Mr. Blake arranged his tea set, not even sparing Sebastian a glance. "If you asked me for help, why did you jump in and make the decision yourself?"

"It's just money," Sebastian said flatly. "I want this resolved as quickly as possible.
