Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1349

Dusk settled over Northwyn. The bitter chill of early winter meant the sky was pitch black by the time rush hour ended.

Streetlights flickered to life. Lillian sat in the plush backseat of her Rolls-Royce, comfortably insulated from the chaos, waiting for the final report.

She had orchestrated the entire board, yet her hands remained perfectly clean.

Meanwhile, as the night grew darker, Bella's panic spiked to dangerous levels.

Pacing the floor of her cheap motel room, she couldn't take the agonizing wait anymore. She rented a discrete, battered sedan online, picked it up, and drove straight to the coordinates Lucas had provided, parking in the shadows down the street from The Grand Sapphire Casino.

Lucas was a worthless piece of trash. She had promised him a massive bounty, yet he still hadn't managed to secure two guys to smuggle Debbie out of the building ahead of time.

If he had just snatched her early, they wouldn't be in this mess.

She wouldn't be sitting in a freezing car, heart pounding in her throat, wondering if she was going to lose her billions.

If she couldn't get her hands on Debbie tonight, everything was ruined.

Bella had driven out here to enforce a backup plan. She had dropped a small fortune hiring local muscle earlier that day.

If Lucas failed his inside job, her crew would be waiting outside. When the convoy moved Debbie, they would tail them.

They would run the transport vehicles off the road and violently extract Debbie.

She was going to take her back, no matter the body count.

That was $1.2 billion on the line!

If Debbie didn't end up in her custody, the money locked in that account was completely useless.
