The More the Merrier novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Her Parents Knew About This

Enraged, Arissa squatted down and grabbed the woman by the collar.

She knew that much.

“So, Danna ordered you to kidnap my children, did she?” Arissa asked in an intimidating tone.

The woman nodded in fear. Her face was as pale as a sheet.

“Y-Yes, she knew you were still alive. T-Then, she called us over to kidnap you and the children again, but we never had the chance until we spotted them. We decided to get them first,” she explained.

Arissa could not hold back her rising anger. She slapped the woman hard on her cheek.

“You heartless scumbags! I can’t believe you would lay your hands on children!” she fumed.

“Please understand, Ms. York. We were forced to do it. Danna took our daughter. If I don’t obey her, she will k-” The woman choked on her tears as she struggled to finish the sentence.

“She threatened to kill our daughter… We don’t have a choice.”

“Tell me, why did Danna want to kidnap us?” Arissa probed.

“S-She wanted to kill all of you because she felt threatened by your presence. She wasn’t going to let you guys live,” the woman replied fearfully.

“I didn’t do anything,” the man said, his voice shaking. He feared death more than his wife did.

He went on, “I was just the driver. Danna was the one ordering us around! And my wife didn’t do anything wrong to you either! She didn’t kill you back then.”

“Do you think I’m deaf?” Arissa glared at him.

She knew this man had wanted to kill them. It was the woman who spared their lives.

The man shivered as he felt a stab of guilt.

“We really didn’t want to kill anyone!” he protested.

“Does Danna know my children are still alive?” Arissa decided to change the subject.

The couple looked at each other and shook their heads vigorously.

“No. We haven’t told her. We couldn’t kidnap you, so we tried to take your children instead. That way, at least we have something to show her. When everything was done, we couldn’t inform her in time,” the woman explained.

She paused for a moment, and said, “Actually, we only found the four children this morning. We weren’t sure who they are at first, but they definitely resembled Benjamin. So, we decided to kidnap them first to check if they were indeed your children!”

They happened to be standing guard nearby Arissa’s house when the four children came out together.
