Chapter 506
Isabella walked up towards the second floor resolutely.
She went up the stairs and walked into the private room where Harlow was. Standing by the open window, she looked down and saw Harlow
wildly flailing his hands, shouting as he removed his clothes and pulled on his hair.
It wasn't until he had stripped himself bare and pulled out several handfuls of hair that he was finally sure that there were no more bugs on him, did he feel relieved.
Isabella silently watched the naked back run away and thought to herself, "What could make a gang leader disregard his image and run naked with hands still ruffling through his hair?"
These were her adorable and invincible bugs!
Isabella walked down the stairs emotionlessly.
She snapped her fingers as she descended.
Immediately, the swarm of bugs and the bugs wrapped around everyone's bodies began to retreat.
Henderson regained consciousness at this moment and saw that there were no more bugs on his body. He was delighted but suddenly remembered something and let out a dry heave. He lifted his hand to touch his nose but didn't have the courage to.
Although the bugs had retreated, there was one bug left on everyone's body. Henderson stared in horror as that bug eventually wriggled into their nostrils.
He couldn't help but remember his previous experience.
Thus, Henderson fainted again.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Isabella scowled at the thought of how utterly worthless he was. Wasn't he supposed to be some big shot?
"Get up, you're the mighty head of the Vernon Group, and this is the so-called 'courage' you have?" Isabella said with disdain.
She kicked Henderson in an acupoint that would have woken him up even if he didn't want to.
Tears streamed down his face as Henderson cried, "Miss Thompson, please, I will not do it again. Can you please get the worm out? Will it devour my brain?"
Isabella sneered at him. "If you behave yourself from now on, I promise it will leave your brain alone. It just wants to make a home in your head and hibernate forever, but of course, you must be a good boy." Henderson's eyes widened as he realized he was being controlled.
Isabella glanced at him and said, "You should consider yourself lucky. None of you would be alive today if this were in the past.
"But now, since I do not want bloodshed, I shall spare your lives using this method."
Henderson gradually became calmed down and regained his composure.
He looked at Isabella with a lost and helpless expression.
"I promise I will be honest from now on..." He said pitifully.
Isabella gave him another glance but stayed silent, then turned and left.
Stanton was surprised and asked, "Is this all, Bella?"
Isabella nodded and explained, "It's enough. Unless someone can remove the bug from them, they'll have to behave themselves forever."
"But that is Henderson Lockwood..."
Stanton sighed.
Isabella said, "Hmph, he is not worth it."
Stanton smirked and said, "You and Draxton are really..."
"A perfect match?"
Isabella interrupted, not hearing the rest of the sentence.
Stanton couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Yes, a perfect match. Two weirdos together, isn't that a perfect match?"
"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle,' Stanton laughed.
They had just left the Sapphire Club when Philip Lockwood arrived with his men.
He walked ahead hurriedly with a fierce expression on his face. Especially when he caught sight of Isabella, his whole face turned red with anger. Isabella blinked innocently and said, "Dad, you're here too?"
Seeing that she was not at all guilty, Philip became furious and roared, "How dare you speak? Who asked you to come here?"
Isabella blinked innocently again.
She eyed Stanton whose face suddenly changed. Stanton backed up a few steps, defending himself saying, "It wasn't me. Don't look at me!"
Philip barked, "Draxton just left, and you risked coming here alone. I'm still around. Who are you to take charge?"
Henderson hobbled out of the front gate and witnessed Isabella Thompson, who had been so bold and confident when dealing with him before, now cowering with her neck drawn in, being scolded by Philip Lockwood like a pitiful little thing.
Henderson should have been gloating, but at this moment, he actually felt a sense of admiration for Philip.
It must be because Philip had never seen the number of bugs Henderson did, or he wouldn't have dared to act this way.
Otherwise, Henderson thought Philip wouldn't have the guts.
Stanton looked at Philip with conflicted feelings. This must be what "fools rush in where angels fear to tread" looked like.
Isabella replied weakly, "Dad, don't be angry. I'm just taking a walk because I have nothing to do."
"A walk? I'm sure..."
He looked up and saw a humbled, nervous Henderson
Philip burst out laughing.
"Henderson Lockwood, why do you look so scared when you see me? Am I that frightening?"
Philip stole a glimpse of Isabella. Today, he would make that entitled girl witness his past glory.
Henderson remained silent for a while. He hesitated and called out, "Patriarch..."
"Why are you calling me Patriarch? I'm not the patriarch anymore. Use a different title!" Philip declared boldly. Henderson quickly said, "Old sir..."
"Am I that old?"
"Sir..."
"Huh, that's more like it!" Philip was incredibly proud. He looked at Isabella and said, "See that? With some people, I can intimidate them and their whole family as soon as I show up. What are you doing here? Have you forgotten that you're pregnant? Why aren't you staying home and taking care of yourself?"
Isabella held her tongue.
Stanton stood to the side awkwardly, watching Philip struggle to speak but ultimately unable to bring himself to break his spirit.
Henderson cautiously glanced at Isabella. Her expression seemed like she didn't object. He remained silent, which was taken as agreement.
Philip stared at Henderson and narrowed his eyes. He approached Henderson and scrutinized him up close. "Henderson Lockwood, since you're so afraid of me, you must have some nerve trying to harm the Barkers. Well, offending the Barkers is bad enough. Now you dare come for the Lockwood family?"
Henderson Lockwood thought to himself, "Who's afraid of you? I even dare to take on Draxton Lockwood!"
But did he dare to say it?
Ultimately, Henderson lowered his head weakly and said, "Sir, you're right."
Philip snorted and turned to Isabella, saying, "See that? When I choose to make a move, I can handle all this all alone. Let's see if you still dare to mess with me again."
"No, I won't," Isabella replied, lowering her head and began breathing irregularly. rupee woe
Philip's face changed, and he warned her, "Are you crying now? You'd better not go home and complain to your mother that I scolded you!"
He sounded a bit scared.
Isabella was trying hard to hold back her laughter. Her voice trembled as she said, "If you keep talking, I might just go home and do just that." Stanton couldn't bear to watch any longer.
