Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 943

Debbie quickly did the math in her head. She truly had no choice but to bunker down in Bella's hotel room.

At the very least, she was safe from the casino's thugs for now.

She knew exactly how those loan sharks operated. They treated her like royalty when she was winning, but that was only out of respect for her cash.

Now that she had vanished with an unpayable debt, she knew exactly what they would do to her if they caught her.

No one in the underground gambling world possessed an ounce of mercy.

They were all ruthless predators.

You didn't run a billion-dollar racket by being nice.

Terrified to set foot outside, Debbie swallowed her anger and tolerated Bella's insults.

Seeing that Debbie had quieted down, Bella stopped yelling.

She still needed the older woman's cooperation for her upcoming plans. If she pushed too hard, Debbie might panic and make a run for it.

Honestly, the enforcers showing up had been a stroke of luck for Bella.

Now that Debbie knew half of Northwyn was looking for her, she wouldn't dare step out of line.

Bella completely dropped her worries about Debbie escaping.

In fact, she felt confident enough to order some food for the older woman.

It was just a cheap takeout box from a nearby diner, a far cry from the five-star room service she used to command.

When the delivery arrived, Debbie took one look at the greasy container and scrunched her nose in disgust.

"You expect me to eat this?"

She was used to prime rib, caviar, and endless bottles of vintage wine.

Now she was reduced to this?

Staring at the soggy food, Debbie felt the urge to flip the coffee table.
