Chapter 163 - One Hundred And Sixty-three: Apologize, Isabelle. (2/2)

It was as if his eyes compelled her to tell the truth and she almost did, had not the door to her room burst open and two recognizable troublemakers burst in with a shriek.

”Maya, save us! ”

”He's gonna kill us!”

What the hell.

They ran towards her and almost slammed into her if Niklaus did not hold them back on time.

With that speed and momentum, both kids would have ruptured her sutures if they had successfully bumped against her.

As if the surprise was not enough, an angry Judy leaped into her open room.

His hair was disheveled, his weight was unevenly supported as if he hurt his leg or something and angry veins were sprouting from his forehead.

What in the world have these two devils done this time?

Judy was fuming, those kids almost destroyed the source of his future bloodline. God, it hurt like hell!

Once he got his hands on them, he would spank them hard on the bottom so that they wouldn't be able to sit properly for days.

Niklaus watched the two kids take cover behind him and guessed what happened from the way Judy walked one-sidedly.

His anger reached its limit but before he could take out his wrath on them, he heard,

”Drop to the ground and give me a ten !”

”No, Maya, hear us out - ” Isabella tried to explain but she was interrupted.

”Do it now! No excuses! ”

Tina watched in surprise as those kids who hardly gave ear to her instruction got down on all fours and began to do the push-up as commanded.

Envy filled her heart, why were they always listening to Maya? What was so special about that woman?! This wasn't normal anymore, black magic must be at work now - perhaps Maya was a witch.

How else could the kid's firm loyalty be explained? How could Niklaus and Eden be so dedicated to her? Why was everyone so damn attracted to her? Why was it always Maya! Maya! Maya?!

If one had stared at Tina's eyes that moment, they'd been scared of the murderous intent in there.

”Lower your body until your chest  touches the floor!” She boomed at Anabelle.

The girl in question looked up with a sympathetic look; she batted her eyelashes, her blue eyes enthralling anyone who stared at it just as a tear dropped down her cheek.

But Maya didn't pay her any attention, ”Slacken again and I'll increase your punishment ” came her threat.

Anabelle felt chills climb down her spine and had no choice than to do as said - that trick would have worked on her father, Eden.

Aish, Maya was so mean today!

The push-up was no big deal to Isabella who performed it with ease and in no time was done.

”What now?” She asked Maya smugly.

Maya narrowed her eyes at this little haughty brat who clearly didn't understand the implication of what she did.

”Apologise”

”No way” she refused.

”Is not a request but an order, Isabella” Maya growled at her which caused the girl to frown.

It was just a kick, nothing else, why was everyone so hung up on it?

”I did it because he stopped me from coming here” Isabella excused herself.

”Your argument does not change nor cover up the fact that you almost destroyed a grown man's genital. If personal reasons solved all problems, then there would have been no need for the court of law. We would have excused our way out of every crime ever committed!

How would you feel if I purposely broke your late mother's pictures and claimed I did it because I couldn't stand the sight?”

Isabella growled a warning.

”See? It was just talks but you're affected” Maya pointed out.

She continued, ”Just because you're rich and can get away easily with a crime doesn't give you the right to treat others as toys and garbage.

”That money was given to you by the heavens as a gift to help the less fortunate while living your life to the fullest.

”Being rich is a privilege, a rare blessing that others are willing to kill just to possess it, so don't abuse it. Moreover, karma is a bitch; what goes around, comes around.

”People you treat as trash today might be the ones to help you at your lowest point tomorrow. Never look down on people because tomorrow is unpredictable.”

The room was dead silent, no one made a single comment nor noise, her heartfelt words touched them greatly-Maya had spoken from the bottom of her heart.

She caught her breath, ”Now apologize, Isabella ”
