Chapter 763 - Seven Hundred And Sixty-three: We Can Always Try (2/2)

”I'm not lying? Why should I lie to you?”

”Well, plenty of reasons. But first of all, you wouldn't want that petty secret to destroy the peaceful knowledge you've had with Reina!” She pointed out.

”You talk about handing a letter to me, how sure are you that it reached my hand? I receive thousands of documents and letters every day to review, how sure are you that it wasn't buried with the pile and mistakenly discarded? Have you thought of that possibility? Why didn't you approach me? Why are you trying to make it my and Isabella's fault you failed to fight for your right?” Niklaus scolded her.

The truth is that Deborah had thought of the possibility of the letter never reaching Niklaus but the circumstances leading up to her being fired from her job were too suspicious. Moreover, it was much easier blaming and hating someone for her misfortune than actually acknowledging her shortcomings.

Why hasn't she approached Niklaus? Well, she didn't have the confidence and the letter had been a much better option. Like come on, would Niklaus that a fat, ugly girl was his daughter. The only beautiful feature in her body was her amber eyes and yet it was the same eyes she loathed while staring at herself in the mirror every day.

”Come on, lady,” Allen was the one who drew her attention this time, ”Trust me when I tell my folks are actually telling the truth because trust me, if they had known about your existence, they would have adopted you right away. They're good at doing that, ”He hinted with a smirk at Neon.

For some reason, Neon was not even offended by his comment this time knowing that he was only trying to change the woman's mind.

”No, no, no!” Deborah shook her head frantically, ”I see what you're all trying to do here. You're trying to change my mind, make me drop my defenses, and buy time for your men trying to work their way around my bomb!” Deborah sneered, ”But trust me, that's not going to work,”

Deborah snatched the gun from one of her men and strode over to Isabella, yanking her hair back and arousing sounds of protest from Pedro and the kids.

”What do you think you're doing, she's your sister?!” He yelled and tried to reach Isabella all to no avail since they were tied up in such a way they were facing apart from each other.

”Sorry, but I wasn't recognized as a family hence I own none of you nothing,” Deborah declared, finally losing her mind. She caressed the gun across Isabella's face, ”Where should I start? Ruin your pretty face first before putting up an interesting show for your family?”

However, unknown to Deborah, Allen had successfully undone the bind holding him and Ailee. They were used to playing around with such binds in the base.

But then, there was a trace of panic across Ailee's face as she whispered, ”Don't do anything stupid, we can't take all eight of them. We're overpowered,”

”But we can always try!” Was Allen's comment before he lunged for Deborah.
