Chapter 178 At Their Mercy
Arissa had a plan in mind. She wanted the culprits to pay.
What’s the point of capturing the accomplices? Her priority should be preventing Danna from ever rising
again.
“I know a place. Follow me!” Bradley’s eyes flashed dangerously as he hastily informed his companions.
They followed the trail.
Half an hour later, they found a dilapidated warehouse surrounded by overgrown weeds.
The place looked like it had been deserted for a long time. The gloomy atmosphere from the inside sent
shivers down their spines.
“Let’s go!” Bradley and his men dragged the couple into the warehouse and flung them onto the ground
unceremoniously.
The two observed the dark surroundings nervously.
The woman began to sob.
What are they going to do with us? They won’t kill us, will they?
The woman trembled with fear as she thought of the worst-case scenario.
“Feel free to beat them up. I don’t care how you do it, but make sure to keep them alive,” Bradley

“No! Please!”
The two captives kicked the ground rampantly as they retreated to the back in a desperate attempt to
escape.
“Remember to cover their faces!” Bradley instructed his men as he leaned against the door.
The men approached their captives and covered their faces with black sacks. Then, the pummeling
commenced.
Arissa and her five children also gave them a well-deserved kicking for everything they had done, and
left after they had properly unleashed their fury.
“Be good and wait in the car. I’ll be back soon!” Arissa instructed her children.
“Mommy, are you going to let them go after this?” Gavin asked.
Arissa stroked his head affectionately.
“We’ll let them go for now. They still have to record their statements. After that, I’ll attach a tracking
device on them. They can’t run away from us,” Arissa assured him.
These two scumbags reappeared in Dellmoor just to kidnap my children. If we really let them go, they’ll
surely contact Danna again.
“Mommy, that’s a great idea!” Zachary’s eyes lit up in anticipation.
“Mommy, do you know how to use it?” Jasper looked at Arissa doubtfully. “Do you need my help?”
“There’s no need. I know how to use it. Just stay in the car. I’ll return shortly!” she reminded them.
“Okay! Be careful, Mommy!” Jesse nodded obediently.
“Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll watch over them,” Gavin said.
It was time for him to take responsibility as the eldest brother.
Arissa looked at her children one more time, shut the car door, and hurried into the building.
By the time she got there, the couple had already been beaten to a pulp. They were barely conscious.
Arissa cued Bradley to proceed with the interrogation.
He approached them and removed the sacks from their heads. Then, he turned on the recording function
on his phone and pointed it at the captives.
“If you treasure your lives, you better tell us the truth!” Bradley warned.
The woman and the man met Arissa’s furious gaze. They were regretting not killing her all those years
ago.
If they had, no one would have found out what they had done.
Damn it. I should’ve killed her while I had the chance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ms. York, Danna ordered me to do it. She told me to kill all of you, but I didn’t. I beg you, please spare
me. I let you live, didn’t I. We had no say! If we hadn’t obeyed her, she would take revenge on us!”
The woman blabbered on without waiting for the interrogation to start.
“Were you the ones who tied up me in that building?” Arissa glared at them viciously, showing no sign of
sympathy. She could not care less whether or not they had been forced to do Danna’s dirty work.
She and her children almost lost their lives because of them.
She had no intention to show them mercy.
“It wasn’t us. Danna sent other people to kidnap you. It was only later that I was told to take care of you
until the children were born…” The woman quivered in remorse at the thought of the children.
She did not dare to look Arissa in the eyes.
If the children hadn’t survived, there’s no way she would forgive us.
“It was all Danna’s doing. She forced us to accept her money and work for her. She would have hired
other people even if we turned her down. She kidnapped your children and asked me to kill you. I
couldn’t do it, but I didn’t have a choice. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place,” the woman said
in between sobs.
She continued, “We decided to abandon you and your children in the desert, b-but you somehow
managed to survive, didn’t you? That’s all we know. It’s all Danna’s doing!”
