Chapter 349 - Three Hundred And Fifty: Devil In Angels Clothing (1/2)

The third point of view:

”You are dead meat when I get you,” Isabella swore as she called Pedro's number but the phone kept ringing with no answer. Was it some sort of prank or what? Though she feared he had just used her, Isabella still felt inside that something was amiss. Did something happen? she wondered

She turned to supervise her abnormally quiet siblings. What has gotten over them? Since Sakuzi and Nadia were out, weren't they supposed to be wreaking havoc and driving her insane? Gosh, their silence was more irritating than their ravages and this added to her frustration.

With them so silent, how was she supposed to guess what's going on in that mind of theirs? But with them messing the whole place up, she could tell at one glance their plan and stop them at once. Well, shouldn't she be grateful for their silence? Her blood pressure was normal today thanks to that.

However, that was the problem. Was this a new act to make her lower her defenses and then strike when she least expects it or was the whole quiet thing sincere? No, she would rather go with the first one and prepare her heart for the things to come. After all, the devil you see is better than the angel you haven't seen. Those kids were no angels at all.

”Alright, so what's the catch?”

”What?” Ailee blinked with cute innocent eyes.

But Isabella refused to fall for that, ”Fuck the act, I need your normal selves back. Being obedient doesn't suit you guys at all,”

” 'Fuck' is not exactly a good language to use around kids. I'll have mom know about that,” Allen lectured her and to Isabella's greatest surprise, began to type it down into the tablet in his grasp.

”Exactly,” Ailee concurred, ”First offense detected. Mom would be so thrilled to hear this,” She too began to type into her tablet.

”Me too. Aunty must hear of this,” said Neon, the one she thought was on her side, typing the same thing into his tablet likewise.

There was only one word that could describe how Isabella felt at that moment, ' stupefied'

<00>

What the hell was going on? When was a surveillance department established in their family? What were they doing? Monitoring crimes? No, bad behaviors?

”Wait a minute,” Allen stopped and looked at Ailee, ”I was the one who noticed her bad word first. So why are you writing that down?”

”What do you mean writing it down? I'm monitoring bad behavior as well, so why shouldn't I take note of that?” Ailee argued.

”I'm saying that I noticed this first, so I should be the only one who reports it to mom,” He claimed. There was no way on earth he was about to share his reward.

”That's uncalled for and selfish, Allen,” Neon criticized him.

”What selfish? Aren't you the selfish one by trying to take my glory?” he retorted.

”And while you both are at it, I'm going to write down the fact that you both quarreled,” Ailee flaunted her fast wits.

”What? Quarreled!” Neon exclaimed, ”Does this look like we're quarreling,”

Allen contributed, ”Fine, if you say so, then you should know that you started the whole argument. Hence, you should type down your name too,” He pointed out.

”What? No way!” Ailee didn't admit it, ”I never started anything in the first place, rather pointed out his delusions of reporting alone,” she cried out.

”Three words,” Allen told her boldly, ”I don't care,” He said sarcastically and bam! The three of them began to argue back and front.

Something was strange here, Isabella rubbed her chin contemplatively while watching the kids argue. The trio of them was ordered to keep a watch on her? Or on each other? Isabella's eyes widened as it dawned on her and then a smirk curved her lips.

They say she was the ruthless one in the family but here was Reina, smartly pitting her kids against the other. Isabella would have applauded for smart moves but unfortunately, she was about to destroy that.

”Who even gave you the right to monitor me?” Ailee questioned Allen, her brother.

”Mom gave me that authority,” he replied with all manner of conviction.

”That's a lie,” Ailee told him, ”Mom, made me the monitor here,”

”No,” Neon objected, ”Aunty personally told me to watch out for you guys,”

”That's a lie, I'm the first,”

”No, I'm the first,”

”Shut up, I'm the one,”

”Alright, you three cut it out!” Isabella boomed and the whole place went dead silent yet the kids glared at each other.

”Alright,” Isabella asked ”Who did mom make her eyes here?”

”Me,”

”No, me,”

”No, it's me,”
