Too Late For Regrets, Mr. Billionaire (Brianna Meyers and Brandon Levy) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Knowing Blanca hadn’t run off with Darcy or Reese, Brianna had someone keep an eye on her movements.

To dodge her debts, Blanca kept on the move, hiding during the day and sneaking out at night, constantly changing her hideouts every couple of days.

After more than half a month, either her money had nearly run out, or the debt collectors were getting too close, forcing her into a corner.

That day, while Brianna was having lunch with Patsy, she got a call from the police station.

“Hello, is this Ms. Brianna Meyers? This is an officer from the Qiraven Police Station,” the voice on the other end said.

Brianna was surprised. ‘The case related to me isn’t in Qiraven, so why am I getting a call from there?‘

“Yes, that’s me. What can I do for you?” she asked.

“Ms. Meyers, we received a report that a suspected mentally ill person has gone missing in our area. After confirming her identity, we found out it’s your stepmother, Ms. Blanca. Could you come down to the station to sort this out?” the officer said.

Brianna let out a cold laugh. ‘So now she’s pulling the mental illness act?‘

After getting the address, Brianna hung up.

“They found Blanca?” Patsy asked, having only caught part of the conversation.

“Yeah, they found her. Now she’s putting on a crazy act. The cops want me to go pick her up,” Brianna scoffed.

“She’s actually gone nuts?” Patsy’s eyes went wide with disbelief. ‘How did the Meyers family fall apart this fast?‘

“She’s probably just faking it,” Brianna said, calmly continuing her lunch.

Brianna had hired people to keep an eye on Blanca, hoping to find out where Darcy was hiding, but none of them ever reported Blanca acting crazy or unstable.

Even after all this time, with Blanca’s phone under constant surveillance, there hadn’t been so much as a text or call from Darcy or Reese.

Brianna was baffled. ‘Did they plan for those two to disappear together, or is Darcy really cold enough to just abandon her mother like that?‘

Whatever the truth was, she wasn’t about to miss out on this drama.

After lunch, Patsy tagged along with Brianna, and together they made their way to the Qiraven Police Station.

On the way, Patsy asked, “Well, what are you gonna do? If you go to the station, legally she’s your stepmom, so

you’re on the hook for her.”

“Doesn’t matter if I go or not. If she’s lost her mind, I’m still stuck with her,” Brianna replied, her face calm and unreadable.

‘Blanca’s probably just faking it to make me responsible for her,‘ she thought.

Patsy scowled, clearly annoyed. “That old woman really got off easy. After all the crap she’s pulled, you still have to take care of her.”

Brianna gave a faint smile. “No need to get worked up. Let’s just go see what’s up first.”

‘Me, taking care of her? Well, let’s see if she’s got the fortune for that,‘ she thought with a hint of sarcasm.

“You really think that Darcy could be so cold? Your dad just passed, and she took off right after?” Patsy said, still unable to believe it. After everything that went down, Darcy just ditched her parents and disappeared.

“You can’t judge her by normal standards,” Brianna replied coolly.

Her mind wandered, already scheming about how to deal with Blanca.

When they got to the station, the officer led them to the lounge. Blanca was perched awkwardly on a chair, her clothes filthy, greasy, and torn in places, her hair a wild mess like a bird’s nest, muttering nonsense under her breath.

Blanca showed no sign of recognition when she saw Brianna and Patsy, as if they were complete strangers.

“When the neighbors found her, she was chasing after kids in the street, trying to hit them. She couldn’t answer any questions, barely reacted to people, and the only thing she kept repeating was that she was the CEO of a public company,” the officer explained.

“From the looks of it, she seems mentally unstable. Has she ever been diagnosed with any mental illness before?”

“No,” Brianna replied, keeping a close eye on Blanca, watching her carefully.

Brianna sighed at the irony. Life’s fortunes could turn in an instant. Just yesterday, Blanca was a pampered socialite with not a care in the world, and today she was a desperate middle–aged woman, forced to fake insanity just to get by.

But frankly, they had no one to blame but themselves.

In just half a month, Blanca’s appearance had noticeably changed. Her cheeks were hollow and sagging, her cheekbones jutted out, and there wasn’t a hint left of her old elegance.

Still, Brianna was convinced Blanca wasn’t actually crazy.

Even though Blanca pretended not to recognize anyone, there was a flicker of hatred in her gaze whenever she looked at Brianna no matter how hard she tried to hide it.

The officer went over the details and told the family to make sure to look after Blanca properly. Brianna kept

her cool, not showing any impatience at all.

:

“Just sign the paperwork and you can take her with you,” the officer said.

“Can you handle the paperwork for me?” Brianna said, giving Patsy a meaningful glance.

Patsy went with the officer.

Now it was just Brianna and Blanca left in the lounge. When enemies came face to face, the air practically crackled with animosity.

With no one else around, Blanca’s glare was dripping with hatred. ‘It’s all because of this bitch that my family is ruined!‘

She had already scoped out the lounge. There were surveillance cameras, but no audio recording.

Brianna moved in closer to Blanca, her face calm and unreadable as she mocked, “So, your daughter doesn’t want you anymore?”

Blanca was burning with rage inside, wishing she could lunge forward and choke Brianna right then and there, but her face was full of disdain as she replied coldly, “She’s gone. Far, far away. You’ll never catch her in this lifetime.”

“Oh, really?” Brianna tilted her head, making sure the camera couldn’t catch her sneer. “Do you even know where she is? She’s mine now.”

Blanca stared at her, shock flickering across her face, but then a smug smile crept in, as if she still had the upper hand. “Save your lies. I know you’ll never catch her.”

“Feeling that confident?” Brianna let out a cold laugh. “Did you forget? I even dug up who knocked up your daughter. Run? You really think she can get away from me?”

Blanca’s face twisted in fear, desperately searching Brianna’s face for any sign she was bluffing.

“So you’re just pretending to be crazy so I’ll get you sent to the psych ward?” Brianna asked, her tone laced with sarcasm.

“Exactly!” Blanca replied, looking smug. “You hate my guts, but you still have to look after me, let me live comfortably for the rest of my days. Sucks for you, huh?”

Blanca gave a dark, twisted smile. “You’re stuck taking care of me for the rest of my life, while Darcy is settled comfortably abroad. What can you do about it? I told you. You and your mom could never beat me!”

“Oh, really?” Brianna sneered, her expression growing colder. “Do you even know where my dad’s ashes are? They’re not in that grave you think. Weren’t you all such a loving family? Once I catch Darcy, I’ll make sure your whole family’s ashes are stuck together forever. You scum can spend eternity with each other.”

Blanca stared at her, terror rising in her eyes until rage finally burst out. She shouted at Brianna, “How twisted can you be? That’s your own father!”

“That’s right,” Brianna said, stepping even closer. “So you screwed up big time by making me come get you.

I’ve already arranged a hospital for you. You’re going to rot in there, repenting for what you did to my mom.

Now just half a step from Blanca, Brianna’s eyes flashed with a ruthless glint. “And as for your selfish, vicious. daughter, I’ve already shipped her off to northern Myronia. Once you’re in the hospital, I’ll make sure you two get one last goodbye.”

“No! No way!” Blanca snapped, her eyes blazing red as she suddenly lunged and wrapped her hands around Brianna’s throat. “You bitch, just die! Die!”

All the blows life had dealt her had left Blanca weak and haggard, but right now, she exploded with a crazed strength, squeezing Brianna’s neck so hard that it felt like she really meant to kill her.
