Taming A Billionaire-Chapter 761 - Seven Hundred And Sixty-one: Niklaus Bastard Daughter

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.

"Your son is to be blamed for whatever happens to Isabella!"

"That still doesn't give you the right to almost kill him!"

"Isabella must be hurting right now! Do you even know what that means!"

"We haven't even heard from Pedro, do not put the whole blame on him! Even at that, humans make mistakes,"

"We are talking about a child here for God's sake, Cecil! A child changes everything!"

"With all due Reina, have you stopped to consider whether your daughter's stubbornness pushed Pedro into having one outside?!"

"That is no excuse for his infidelity! He knew Isabella's conditions and yet still insisted on being with him! At this rate, I wouldn't have my daughter given to marriage to him any longer!"

Those were the arguments echoing across the room as everyone had a different opinion about the situation and was high on anger!

The rehearsal dinner was pretty much over by the time the slide show was forcibly turned off and the stars of the occasion - Isabella and Pedro were nowhere to be found. None of the guests dared to ask whether there would be a wedding ceremony the next day because the tension in the air was answer enough.

The immediate family, that was Niklaus and Reina with Cecil and Emerald gathered around to discuss the situation only for it to become a full-blown argument as each side tried to lay up blame and as well defend their respective child.

While all of this was going on, Valentino was busy sending out men to go after Isabella and in no time received news from Jean who was badly injured and in need of support. While the situation was critical, both families were busy fighting amongst them.

"So while you idiots are busy yelling at each other, I wish to inform you that your kids are in danger," Valentino declared openly as soon as he came into the room.

At once, the argument died down the way water douses a flame and all gaze turned to Valentino for more information, their faces filled with curiosity mixed with fear.

"What did you just say?" Niklaus' head whipped around faster than anyone else.

"For the both of you," Sakuzi gestured to Emerald and Cecil, "She got Pedro. And for you…" He turned to Niklaus and Reina, "She got Isabella, Allen, Ailee, Neon, and a couple of friends that went with them,"

At that announcement, Reina's eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fainted instantly. How was that possible? Weren't they taking care of the triplets? Her four kids were in danger.

"Who is this she?" Emerald asked while Niklaus worked on waking his unconscious wife.

"Niklaus' bastard daughter," Julie announced, walking into the room with Anabelle closely behind him, "and the girl who claimed to have rescued her from the accident,"

"She's also the one who tried to burst out Mikhail," Andrew made his appearance as well.

At that announcement, all eyes shifted to Niklaus as if he held all the answers in the world. However, he could only ask, "I have a bastard daughter?"
