Seeing her mother in such a panic, Bella immediately pieced things together.
She looked at Sabrina in disbelief, her voice a furious, hushed whisper. “Mom, don’t tell me you took out a loan from a loan shark?”
Sabrina’s eyes instantly welled up with tears.
In that moment, Bella understood everything.
She clung to one last sliver of hope. “How much?”
Sabrina held up one finger.
Bella breathed a small sigh of relief. “Ten million?” It wasn't an insignificant amount, but it was manageable, she thought. Once she got the money back from Debbie, ten million wouldn't be a problem.

Bella’s eyes widened, and she shot up from her seat. “What? Mom, don’t tell me you invested a hundred million?”
And to her horror, Sabrina nodded.
