Chapter 167
“I know, that’s why I’m going to leave the country,” Elizabeth said and Jessica sighed softly and wiped her tears.
“Are you sure about that?” Jessica asked and she nodded in response.
“I would help you book your flight and get the necessary things you need, so you can leave tomorrow morning,” Jessica said and Elizabeth sighed.
“You can stay in my room, I will go make some calls now,” she said and with that, she walked out of the room.
The moment Brandon had asked the guards to throw Robert out of the house, Hannah’s mind drifted to her kids.
She quickly rushed out of the study room and went to her kid’s room, where she met them asleep. The maid whom she had told to watch them was also asleep.
She placed her hands on her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
She walked out of the room and closed. A lot of thoughts going through her mind. She walked to her room and closed the door.
She removed the dress she was wearing and put on another dress. She stared at the dress in her hands wondering who had brought it for her and kept it in her room.
Deep down she knows it wasn’t Robert or Elizabeth either, she wondered who it was.
Meanwhile, Robert is seen outside Colby’s mansion, staring at the security who had thrown him out with anger in his eyes.
The security men gave him one last glance before going back inside the house.
He brought out his phone and was about to dial a number when he felt someone touch him from behind with a dagger knife.
He felt a cold shiver run down his spine and the gun in his hands fell on the ground.
He paused and then made a turn when a deep voice said “Do not move”.
He recognized that voice, even in his dream he would recognize the voice. It was his brother’s voice, Wilson.
Just then he felt the knife Pierce through his back and it was twisted and pulled out in force.
He groaned and fell on his knees, with blood gushing out of his mouth and his back.
The figure smiled as he moved in front of him and then touched his face.
“Hello Brother,” a smile escaped his lips as he watched Robert lay on the ground staring at him with shock in his eyes and suddenly he closed his eyes.
“Say hi to the devil for me” he muttered as he passed the knife to a huge man standing beside him.
“Get rid of the phone you used in texting them all, I know Brandon, he would wanna trace the number and find out who sent those text messages. Robert already ruined my plans for tonight”
He brought out a handkerchief from his pocket and cleaned the blood In his hands and then turned to the huge man in a suit standing beside him and speaking Spanish.
“deshacerse del cuerpo y sabes qué hacer a continuación (get rid of the body and you know what to do next)”
“Yes jefe (Boss)” the man responded and he turned and stared at the Colby’s mansion before walking away.
It was morning and the maids were seen cleaning the house because it had looked so dirty from yesterday’s party.
Arianna is seen climbing down the stairs while the maid greets her. She took a bottle of wine that was on the table and asked the maid to keep it In her room.
Just then the front door burst open revealing Jessica who was looking so tired.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Where are you coming from this early morning?” Arianna asked as Jessica walked towards her.
“I went to drop off Grandma at the airport, she’s out of the country, ” Jessica said Arianna nodded in response and made to walk away when Jessica held her hands.
“She’s gone mom, could you please forgive her, please,” Jessica said with sadness in her eyes. Her daughter was such a soft-hearted person, no matter how bad someone was, she always tends to see good in them.
“I hold nothing against her honey, I’m just glad she’s left,” Arianna said and Jessica nodded in response.
Just then Brandon is seen climbing down the stairs when he suddenly hears his phone ring, it is a call from Edward.
“Brandon, I want us to meet, we need to discuss business, I will text you the time and place,” Mr. Edward said from the other side of the phone.
“Yeah, sure,” Brandon said and hung up.
“Good morning Mom” Brandon greeted as he moved towards Arianna and kissed her on her cheeks.
Just then Arianna heard her phone vibrate. It was a text message from Micheal, asking her to check the news.
She stared at the text message and then quickly went to the sitting room.
“Mom” Jessica called and Brandon stared at her, and they trailed behind Arianna who picked up the remote and switched on the TV.
They all opened their eyes wide in shock at what they had seen.
*Robert Colby stabbed to death*
“What?” Jessica muttered as she turned to Brandon giving him a questioning look.
“Don’t give me that look, I didn’t give any order to kill him, my security team wouldn’t do this,” Brandon said and Jessica sighed softly.
Arianna quickly brought out her phone and dialed Micheal’s number.
Immediately Micheal answered the phone call and she moved away from Brandon and Jessica.
“I thought I told you not to kill him” Arianna whispered
“I swear, I didn’t kill him. I didn’t, ” Micheal said and Arianna paused for a few seconds.
“If you didn’t, then who did?” She asked and just then they heard a knock on the front door.
“I’ll go get the door,” Jessica said as she moved towards the door and opened it, and to her surprise, she saw the FBI walk in.
Brandon walked towards them wondering what they were doing at his house.
“I will call you back,” Arianna said as she ended the call the moment she saw the FBI.
“We are here for Mrs. Arianna Mackenzie,” the FBI said and Jessica turned to Brandon and then to Arianna.
“I’m the one,” Arianna said as she stepped forward.
“You have to come with us Mrs. Mackenzie,” a female FBI agent said as she moved towards Arianna and handcuffed her and took her away.
“Mom” Jessica called out
