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.
They were surprised because the children looked so much like Benjamin.
The kids were exactly the ones they had abandoned in the desert all those years ago. With that in mind,
they decided to take action despite the risks.
They did not want to harm the children. They just wanted to lure them out and have them answer some
questions.
However, they were caught in the act before they could bring the kids over.
“We just had some questions for them, but we were discovered before we could do so!” The man
glanced at Bradley.
Bradley did not send the children to school because he was tailing the couple.
The couple had gone back to Olswick after successfully evading Bradley. They recruited some gangsters
to help them kidnap the children.
They would have accomplished their mission if the children were proven to be Arissa’s.
If not, they would let the kids go.
Thankfully these scumbags miscalculated, or else my children would be in real danger.

“Who else was involved in my kidnapping back then, besides Danna?” Arissa scoffed.
The woman shook her head and said, “I don’t know! I’ve told you everything I know!”
Just then, Arissa brandished a knife and pressed the blade on the woman’s face. With a gentle slash
across the cheek, blood gushed out from the wound.
“Ah! Not the knife, please… On no, I’m bleeding! Ms. York, please spare me!” the woman cried.
“Talk, or else,” Arissa pressed the blade harder against the woman’s cheek. More blood poured out.
“Danna’s parents knew about it. Her mother came to see you once, but you were sleeping then,” the
woman explained.
“What else?” Arissa asked menacingly.
Gasping for breath, the woman said, “That’s all I know! I swear!”
As soon as Arissa raised her hand, the woman fainted from the shock.
“Dear!” the man screamed in horror.
He looked warily at Arissa for fear she would attack him. However, there was no way he could run as he
had been tied up.
“You! What the hell are you planning? You’ll go to jail for murder!” he warned.
Arissa laughed haughtily at the threat. Against the light, she looked like the Grim Reaper.
“Jail, you say?” Arissa snorted.
