Chapter 206 Was Someone Manipulating Things Behind the Scenes Back Then?
Freya was confused and quickly supported her, inquiring, "What's wrong, Isabella?"
The four children heard the scream and rushed out, running towards Isabella. "Mommy!"
Isabella's face was pale as she looked at the phone on the ground, breathing heavily.
Hugo noticed something was wrong and quickly picked up the phone to check.
A stranger had sent Isabella a message: [Isabella, you seemed very happy today, didn't you? If you're happy, I'm happy too. Did you enjoy the cake?]
Hugo frowned and scrolled up to read the chat history. He read through the entire conversation between the mysterious person and Isabella.
His face then darkened, and his eyes emitted a terrifying light.
"What's wrong?" Dennis asked, frowning as he leaned in.
Hugo handed Isabella's phone to him, letting him see for himself, then softened his expression and walked up to Isabella, saying gently, "Mommy, you've encountered a pervert. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Freya was shocked, inquiring, "A pervert? What kind of pervert!"
Isabella was panting, her face looking terrible. She came to her senses, her heart pounding.
She knew there was something wrong with that cake! It turned out he sent it!
How did he know she was happy today? Has he been watching her all along?
The more Isabella thought about it, the more scared she became, her breathing growing more rapid.
Hugo tightly held her hand, remarking, "Mommy, look at me; don't be afraid. I will protect you."
Isabella looked into Hugo's eyes for a long time before calming down, her eyes reddening as she uttered, "Hugo."
"I'm here, Mommy. Come, sit down and talk."
Hugo led Isabella to sit on the living room sofa, and Paul quickly ran to pour her a glass of water.
Dennis and Justin had already finished reading the chat, and Justin clenched his little fists, gritting his teeth!
But before he could shout, Dennis gave him a look, signaling him to calm down and listen to Isabella first.
The group sat around the coffee table, and Hugo gently asked Isabella, "Mommy, do you know who this person is?"
Isabella drank several sips of water to calm down, frowning as she looked at Hugo, hesitant to speak.
She didn't want the children to know about this person!
But since they had seen the messages, she could only shake her head, answering, "I don't know who he is, but I know he's very dangerous. He knows about your existence and your identities.
The night your daddy met the three of you, he contacted me, saying he knew my secret and even sent me a paternity test report. He's been urging me to harm your daddy."
Hugo frowned deeply, immediately recalling the mysterious person who had urged him and Justin to kill Anna in the park that night!
Since that incident, he had been investigating this person but found no information!
It was really strange!
Hugo first calmed his emotions and tried to comfort Isabella, saying, "This person is likely not targeting Mommy; he probably has a grudge against our daddy. From the messages he sent, he doesn't seem to want to harm Mommy for now, so you don't need to worry. If he contacts you again, just ignore him.
"And Mommy, don't be afraid of him revealing our identities to Daddy. We only care about you, Mommy. Wherever you are, we will be. We can't live without you!
"Even if our identities are exposed, we will never be separated from you, not in this lifetime!"
Justin and Paul immediately expressed their agreement.
"Yes! We only want Mommy! No one can separate us from Mommy!"
"Yeah, we will never leave Mommy!"
Dennis also frowned and comforted Isabella, "Dennis won't be separated from Mommy either! Mommy, don't worry about Daddy's power. With me here, I won't let him use his power to oppress you!"
The children voiced Isabella's deepest concerns. She looked at Hugo, then at Justin, Paul, and Dennis, feeling deeply moved.
She hugged the children tightly, her voice choked with emotion, "It's not that you can't live without Mommy; it's that Mommy can't live without you. Without you, I wouldn't know how to live."
Her past life had been too difficult; the children were her courage and hope to keep going! If she really lost them, her life would be over!
The four children immediately denied her words, remarking, "Mommy, you're wrong. It's not just that you can't live without us; we really can't live without you either. We won't allow anyone to separate us from you! We want to be with you forever!"
"Yes!" Isabella nodded repeatedly. "Always together!"
Hugo, with reddened eyes, said to Isabella, "So, Mommy, don't be scared. Even if Daddy finds out about us, we won't be separated."
Isabella felt much more at ease. She glanced at her phone again, uttering, "This person..."
Hugo said, "Mommy, just ignore him. Treat him like a madman. But if he contacts you again, you must tell us. Don't be afraid alone. Even though we're still young, we can help you come up with ideas."
"Yes!"
The little ones comforted Isabella for a while. Once she was feeling better, they immediately returned to their bedroom.
They closed the door and held a small meeting!
Hugo said, "This person is probably the one Justin and I saw in the park. I don't know what his purpose is, but he's been urging us and Mommy to kill! What benefit does he get if we kill someone?"
Justin, full of momentum, asked, "Hugo, haven't you found out his identity yet?"
Hugo shook his head, answering, "We've met our match. This person is either a hacker himself or has a top hacker protecting him. His identity is well-protected."
Dennis spoke up, "Give me all the information you have on him. I'll try to find out! Also, you mentioned earlier that five years ago, when Mommy was about to give birth to us, she fainted. When she woke up, she and you were already in the deep mountains.
"Since this mysterious person knows about our identities and Mommy's situation, is it possible that he was the one who took the unconscious Mommy, took me away, and then placed Mommy and you in the deep mountains?"
Hugo frowned tightly, uttering, "It's possible."
Justin was puzzled, inquiring, "But if it was him, what does he want? Why put us and Mommy in the mountains?
If he wanted to save us, wasn't he afraid we'd die in the mountains? If he wanted to kill us, why not do it directly in the hospital? Saying Mommy died in childbirth would be a more convincing reason!"
After Justin finished speaking, the room fell silent.
After a while, Hugo said, "What we know now is that after Mommy fainted, she was rescued. We brothers were deliberately separated. The three of us were placed in the mountains with Mommy, while Dennis was taken back to Daddy.
"This indicates that someone is behind the scenes, plotting something!
"As for his exact purpose? We don't know yet! We also don't know if he is the mysterious person we're talking about!
"But we must be clear about our goal: to protect Mommy and our brothers!"
Justin immediately nodded as he remarked, "Yes! No matter who is behind this, they can't hurt my Mommy! Hugo, what do we do next?"
Hugo squinted slightly, uttering, "Lure him out!"
Justin and Paul didn't understand, wondering, "Lure him out?"
Dennis asked, "You want to use Mommy to lure this mysterious person out?"
"Yes! This person makes me uneasy. For our safety and to uncover the truth, we must get him out as soon as possible! Since we can't find him online, we'll lure him out offline!" said Hugo.
The four brothers nodded together. "That's reasonable! So, how do we lure him out?"
