Chapter 1777
Betty stood there, completely flabbergasted by what was happening in front of her.
Isaac, who stood a solid six feet tall, seemed like nothing but a ragdoll when facing Fiona.
"You!"
Isaac was in total disbelief that a young woman had just tossed him aside like it was nothing. He jumped back up and lunged at Fiona again, but she easily sidestepped him each time, handling him with just one hand like it was no big deal.
Fiona wasn't even breaking a sweat, playing with Isaac like a cat with a mouse, showing restraint at every step.
This only bruised Isaac's ego further.
In a final, desperate move, Isaac tried to stab Fiona with a knife, but she swiftly knocked it out of his hand and pinned him down with a well-practiced move.
"Mr. Deston, you've still got a chance to turn yourself in," Fiona said, her grip iron- clad, forcing Isaac to his knees.
"If you don't, I'll keep at it until you do."
"You!"
Isaac gritted his teeth through the pain.
Betty quickly chimed in, "Fiona, he's my dad. There must be some reason he did this! He's always said he likes you and wants us to be friends. He even invited you over a bunch of times-"
"He just wanted to use you to get to me and carry out his plan," Fiona cut her off, glancing down at Isaac. "Mr. Deston, using your daughter? That's low. My mom always said real parents think ahead for their kids. You're not fit to be a father."
With that, Fiona pulled out her phone.
Her godfather had no clue she'd secretly kept a spare.
Someone special had given her that one.
Fiona called the police.
Before long, a squad car had Isaac in custody and was taking him away.
In the car, Alec lightly flicked Fiona's forehead and said, "What were you thinking? Letting someone hold a knife to your neck-weren't you scared he'd actually do it?"

"Not really Fiona replied with a cheeky grin at Alec. "I didn't think he had it in him to actually kill. All wanted was money, and anyway, I could handle him."
"You're still talking? What if he really did it? You could have been a goner."
"I wouldn't let that happen. I'm not reckless with my life," Fiona said, her nose playfully in the air.
"Your folks are coming back soon. Maybe save these adventures for them," James, sitting nearby, said in a calm voice.
Hearing that her parents were on their way back, Fiona felt her earlier confidence drain away.
If they found out about her antics, she knew she was in for a stern talking-to. "Godfather, you've always been the one who spoils me the most. You wouldn't let them go hard on me, right?" Fiona pleaded, her eyes wide with mock innocence. James just gave her a cool look. "What do you think?"
As soon as they landed, Sophie and Colby headed straight to the police station. Inside, Isaac was already locked up.
When Isaac saw Sophie step into the interrogation room, his face twisted with envy and madness.noveldrama
"Twenty years and you're still as pathetic as ever," Sophie said, her words making Isaac even more agitated.
"You stole everything from me! You made me what I am today! It's all your fault, Sophie! Why do you get to have the best life? Give me back my parents and my family!"
What do you think?
