Chapter 766 - Seven Hundred And Sixty-six: Our Doors Are Open For You (1/2)

The third point of view:

Isabella didn't trust Jennifer behind her especially when she had a gun with her. Just because circumstances forced them to work together doesn't mean they were friends now. Jennifer still pretty much hates Reina - she set her up in an accident - and what better way to have revenge on Reina than to end her.

Jennifer didn't trust Isabella. She was Reina's daughter and would want to hurt her for trying to hurt her chosen mother, Reina. Even while she had been engaged to her father, Niklaus in the past, Isabella never liked her. She only tolerated her.

Suddenly a boom came from downstairs and they all shook unsteadily on their feet, smoke slowly filling the room.

”We can't stay here any longer with the fire increasing. Also, what if it triggers the rest of the bomb and then, we're good as dead,” Neon hoped to talk some sense into them.

”Fine, I'll go with Jennifer and then you go with Neon. That way if she does something to me, you're free to harm Neon as well,”

Pedro suggested.

That was unfair, Isabella knew she could never harm Neon, however, there was one thing she could think of and that was keeping Neon away from Jennifer forever. She knew how crazy that drove Jennifer and even as they agreed to that suggestion, Jennifer could see the threat in her gaze.

Touch Pedro and your son is gone forever. At Least both of them had someone they cherished.

Pedro was the first to leave through the window carefully and then grabbed onto the rope while Jennifer followed slowly and soon the helicopter dropped them carefully on the floor, meters away from the burning house.

However, as soon as Jennifer's feet touched the ground, riffles upon riffles were pointed at her and she quickly grabbed a hold of Pedro from behind, placing her own gun on the head.

”Don't shoot,” Pedro commanded them, his hands raised in the air to show her he was defenseless.

It didn't take even a minute for Isabella and Neon to land and her gaze hardened at the scene.

”Let him go, Jennifer,” Isabella said in a cool tone, ”You know that you can't win against us,”

However, Jennifer simply pressed the gun closer to Pedro's temple yet pleaded, ”I know what I did to Reina was bad but I've changed now and I just want a simple life with my son, Neon. You just have to let us go,”

But Isabella laughed, ”Did you hear her, Neon? Your crazy mother wants to live a quiet life with you,” She turned to him, asking, ”What do you say to that?”

”Yes, I would,” Neon said to Isabella's shock.

Isabella looked shocked, as if Neon had broken her trust or something. Clearly, she had not expected that. Isabella thought Neon would be on her side.
