Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 840

Bella obviously knew she deserved that money.

But it wasn't exactly something she could just reach out and grab.

If the old couple refused to hand it over, what could she possibly do?

"Mom, why don't you help me? Even if I don't get the billion dollars, I at least need to be allowed into the estate.

As for the settlement... if you can help me secure it, Mom, I'll gladly give you half of it as a token of my gratitude. It's just... I have no status there. I can't fight for these things on my own."

When Debbie heard the words 'give you half', her heart soared.

But how on earth was she supposed to influence Old Mr. Blake's decisions?

Especially since the moment those two old fossils found out she was in Northwyn, they would have her exiled immediately.

But still... it was a billion dollars. What kind of astronomical wealth was that?

Just imagining it sent a thrill of sheer euphoria down her spine.

Even if Bella only gave her half, Debbie knew she had the skills to con the remaining five hundred million out of her eventually.

With that kind of cash, even if she couldn't gamble in Northwyn, she could take the billions anywhere else and live like a queen for years.

Debbie's greed was spiraling out of control, but her brain was scrambling to find a viable method to extort the money.

Extracting that kind of cash wasn't going to be easy. Bella was useless on her own, and Debbie couldn't risk exposing her true identity either!

Wait... Bella and her mother had been plotting to arrange a 'coincidental' reunion between her and Old Mr. Blake, hoping she could use her feminine wiles to trap him...

Feminine wiles?

Yes, seduction was the key. But it didn't necessarily have to be *her* seduction, did it?

There was definitely a way to make this work.

Debbie's mind was sharp when it came to grifting, and a string of viciously clever ideas quickly took shape.

"Bella, sweetheart, it's your wedding settlement. There's no need to talk about splitting it with me.

However, I absolutely will not stand by and watch the Blake family bully you like this.
