Chapter 176
“Assemble all the maids, the chauffeur, the gardener, and everyone that works at this house,” Brandon said to Alex who nodded in response before rushing to call all the workers.
It wasn’t long before all the workers had assembled. They were a total of 20 in numbers.
“What are you trying to do?” Micheal asked.
“I think one of them is acting as a spy for my father,” Brandon said in response and then moved toward them and stood in front of them.
“I’m going to ask you guys a few questions and I want the truth, or else I’m going to punish you all for it, and you would all lose your jobs,” Brandon said and they all nodded with their heads bowed while shivering. They were all scared for their life.
“Who is giving my father information about everything that is going on in this house?” Brandon asked and they all kept quiet.
Brandon stared at them for a few seconds waiting for them to speak but they didn’t. He wasn’t expecting them to speak either. He hates what he is about to do now.
“Mrs. Gilbert, I remember, I am the one paying your child’s school fee and making sure your sick husband gets his treatment, I could easily withdraw my scholarship and ask the nurse to stop treating your husband” he paused and then turned to the next woman beside Mrs Gilbert.
“Mrs. Mary, I remember buying you a house and making sure none of your family is homeless….” He paused the moment he noticed Mrs. Mary was shaking and sniffing. She was crying.
“I’m sorry, Mr Brandon, I didn’t mean to do it. He threatened my family. if I didn’t do what he said he would kill my daughter, ” Mrs Mary said as she raised her head and stared at Brandon who didn’t say a word.
More tears slipped down her cheeks.
“Why didn’t you come to me?” Brandon asked as he clenched his fist.
“He has my daughter and threatened to kill her if I say anything,” Mrs Mary said and went on her knees immediately.
“Take her away,” Brandon said coldly to the guards but Hannah, who was standing by the stairs watching the whole scene, stepped In immediately.
After she had taken the kids to their room, she put them to sleep because they were really tired. She had wanted to go to her room when she heard noises from downstairs and decided to see what was going on.
And she had seen all the workers assembled and Brandon threatening them.
“Stop!” Hannah said to the guards who were about to take Mary away and they paused and let her go.
“You all can go, except Mary,” Hannah said and all the workers nodded in response before leaving at once.
Brandon stood there speechlessly as he stared at Hannah.
“What do you think you are doing?” Brandon asked in a whisper.
“I should be asking you that. What do you think you are doing? If the guards take her away, what are they going to do to her?” Hannah asked and Brandon sighed.
“She put this family in danger, she was giving out information to my father, and this had put the kid’s life in danger” Brandon whispered.
“And you think I don’t know. For god sake, her daughter’s life was at stake, she had to do anything to save her child.
If I was in her shoes and my children were in danger, I would do the same” Hannah said in a whisper but then their argument was suddenly interrupted by the sound of Mrs Mary’s cry.
Hannah shot Brandon a deadly glare before moving towards Mary and helped her up from the ground.
She helped her sit on the couch and wiped her tears.
“It’s fine, stop crying. We are going to find your daughter and bring her to you” Hannah said consoling the woman who just couldn’t stop crying.
Meanwhile, Arianna, who had made sure Sandra was comfortable before leaving her in the room, climbed down the stairs and saw Mrs Mary crying and Hannah consoling her.
“What happened?” Arianna asked as she walked towards Brandon.
“She was the Rat giving Wilson information, he has her daughter,” Brandon said and Hannah stood up and walked towards Brandon and Arianna.
“Wilson has her daughter and Brandon had wanted to go lock her up,” Hannah said to Arianna and Brandon opened his eyes wide.
“What? When did I say I wanted to lock her up? I only asked the guards to take her away, and they weren’t gonna lock her up” Brandon said angrily.
“And what are you gonna do after the guards take her away? You should be looking for a way to get her daughter back instead of all this” Hannah said and Arianna sighed.
“And who told you I’m not looking for a way to get her daughter back?” Brandon asked with a frown on his face.
“Can the both of you stop arguing and shut up, please?” Arianna said and they both kept quiet at once.
“We both know Wilson is not going bring that child willingly and if we threaten him or he finds out we know that the child is with him, he’s gonna kill her without any hesitation, ” Arianna said and Brandon sighed.
“We should involve the police then,” Hannah said and Brandon scoffed.
“No, we can’t. He is going to kill the child once he finds out the police are involved. We need to find another way to get the child without him hurting her” Brandon said and Arianna sighed softly.
“He wants me, maybe I can make the exchange, me for the child,” Arianna said and they all turned to her at once.
“What? Hello no! You are not going to do that” Hannah yelled
“He’s going to kill you, mom. You can’t do that. You just have to wait, give me some time I’m going to get the child back” Brandon said and Arianna scoffed.
“You don’t know Wilson, he’s going to kill the child before you know it.
Imagine her mother sitting there crying and boom she suddenly hears her daughter is dead, do you know how it will break her?
I’m a mother, Brandon, I know how it feels to lose a child so I would want an innocent mother and child to go through.
So my mind is made up, I’m going to call Wilson now and make the exchange.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Me in exchange for the child”
