Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 838

Once Bella stepped into Debbie's hotel suite, she took a quick look around. Just as she suspected, Lucas was nowhere to be found. The guy had vanished quickly.

While glancing around the room, Bella asked casually, "Ms. Harris, are you getting used to the new hotel?"

"Of course," Debbie replied smoothly. "You always book the best places for me, Bella. There's nothing to get used to. But I do have plans with a friend later, so I can't keep you company for too long.

Bella, aren't you and Sebastian getting married soon?

You're both swamped with work during the day, so why are you wasting your evening chatting with me?

Shouldn't you two be spending this precious time building your romance?

Hanging around an old woman like me is a waste of a good night, isn't it?"

Bella offered a polite smile. "Ms. Harris, it's not a waste at all. You're Sebastian's mother. You're all alone in the city—it's only right that I come keep you company."

Debbie forced a stiff smile. She had spent the last hour bracing herself, trying to figure out what excuses to use if Bella demanded her money back.

She really didn't want to get stuck in a long conversation with her.

How much longer she could even stay in Northwyn was entirely up in the air.

After all, she was dangerously close to burning through her massive line of credit at The Grand Sapphire Casino.

When Lucas had skipped out last night, claiming he had an 'emergency,' her luck had taken a bizarre nosedive. She had blown through tens of millions of dollars in a single evening.

It was the worst losing streak of her entire gambling career.

Earlier that day, Debbie had been fuming. Lucas played the obedient boy, but at the end of the day, he was just a rent boy.

Men in that line of work had zero morals. He was probably sneaking behind her back to service other sugar mamas.

Having the man she was paying sleep around was obviously ruining her feng shui and tanking her luck at the tables. That had to be the reason her luck had turned so toxic last night.
