Chapter 761 - Seven Hundred And Sixty-one: Niklaus Bastard Daughter (1/2)

The third point of view:

Allen, Ailee, Neon, Theodore, and Eve knew they were in the lion's den the moment they were captured and it would only take the mercy of God to come out alive.

”What have we here?” They watched that woman size them up like meats in a butcher house. The woman continued to size them up until her gaze rested on Neon and she stopped, a smirk crossing her lips.

”You're Neon, the son Reina stole from Jennifer?” She chuckled.

”You know me?” Neon was surprised, ”How?” Although he had this disturbing feeling in the pit of his belly that he wasn't going to like her answer.

”Your mother and I worked together,” Deborah confessed to him.

”Why am I not surprised?” Allen's words were purely meant to taunt him. However, Neon didn't say a word to him, he was used to it and needed to hear more from this woman who seem to know his mother.

”I released your crazy old woman from the asylum where she was doomed to rot away and gave her a cause - help me exact my vengeance on the Spencers. She hated the Spencers as well and so I thought she would make a good team. But then...”

”But then what?” Neon was curious to know more.

”But then, your mother was too consumed with her hatred for Reina that she made a wrong move and ruined my plans. I wouldn't have been discovered this easily if she had stayed still,” there was still a trace of anger in Deborah's tone as she recalled the events.

”And then, what happened?” Neon asked with dread in his voice, ”What did you do to her?” He hadn't seen his mother's creepy text for days now and had a feeling that this evil woman has done something harmful to her. Just like Ailee told him the other day, no matter what, Jennifer was still his mother.

”Simply planted a bomb and finished her off,” Deborah said so nonchalantly that a great rage filled Neon and he lunged at her with an animalistic growl.

”You bitch! You're an animal! How could you do that to her!” Neon struggled fiercely that it took four men to subdue him even with his hands tied.

”Yes, that's the spirit!” Deborah punched the air, obviously high on Neon's misery.

This time, even Allen who was the one to always bully Neon didn't find it funny anymore - none of the kids found the situation funny. They disliked Jennifer for sure but Deborah just made her death seem like a thing of caricature. It made them mad.

”So you're now that cowardly you pick on kids,” Isabella said all of a sudden, drawing Deborah's attention. She had forgotten that smug arrogant sister of hers was still there.

Isabella continued, ”If you're craving for a fight, why don't you pick someone your size?” She offered with confidence.

”Fine, let's see how much that smile on your face lasts,” Deborah said and couldn't wait to begin, ”Keep the kids seated because this would be a long ride,”

”Now, let's start!” Deborah gestured to the tech guy who placed a video call to Niklaus.
