Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 960

Bella glared at Debbie with sheer hatred, though her arrogant fire had clearly been beaten down. She didn't utter a single curse, merely staring daggers at the older woman.

Finally, her eyes locked onto the smartphone resting on the coffee table—her mother's phone. She snatched it up, spun on her heel, and stormed out of the room.

Watching Bella's retreating figure, Debbie spat on the floor. "Stupid little slut. You really think you can go toe-to-toe with me? You're out of your league! You watched the Blake family walk all over me, and you assumed I was an easy target, didn't you? A brat like you thought you could ride me? If I didn't teach you a lesson, you'd really think I was a pushover."

Muttering to herself, Debbie pulled a brand-new smartphone out of her pocket. Unlocking it, she opened an encrypted messaging app.

She still had some funds left over—partly from predatory online loans she had taken out when she first arrived in Northwyn, and the rest from selling off the luxury items Bella had previously gifted her. Either way, having a phone meant she had her freedom back.

She tapped into a specific chat thread and, with a wicked grin, tapped to accept a massive wire transfer.

At that exact moment, Bella heard a notification chime from the phone in her hand. Looking down, her blood ran cold. It was an alert for a successful transfer.

Bella's face turned white with pure fury. How could Debbie be so vile? She had added herself to Sabrina's contacts and initiated a $1 million theft straight into her own account!

Seeing the alert, Bella furiously whipped her car around.

Before she could even hit the gas, an audio call from Debbie popped up on the screen. Bella answered, instantly screaming into the speaker, "Are you out of your mind?! That is grand theft! I will call the police and have you locked up!"

On the other end, Debbie's laughter was bright and mocking. "Call the cops? Oh, I'm absolutely terrified! I scammed you out of millions before, and you didn't dare call the police. Now, over a measly million dollars, you're going to call the cops? Hahaha!"
