The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 25 Isabel Was Still Alive

"Mr. Lockwood, are you really going to marry Miss Thompson?" asked Alan curiously. Alan and Martin had always been curious about that matter. Draxton glanced at them and replied nonchalantly, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Mr. Lockwood certainly looked serious about it.

Since Alan and Martin knew that Mr. Lockwood always meant what he said, they could not help but feel astonished at his decision to marry the woman. Draxton looked at them and said, "Isabella is not as bad as you think."

"Mr. Lockwood, please forgive me for being frank. But very few women in the world are worthy of you, and Isabella certainly is not one of those women." Draxton shook his head in response as he said, "That's just your opinion. It isn't mine."

Seeing that they wanted to continue with the topic, Draxton cut the conversation short and said, "Enough. You may get back to work."

Alan and Martin looked at each other and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, in the room, Isabella was chatting with Jocelyn.

In the video call, Jocelyn's face was filled with complete shock.

"Bella, can you say that again? Where are you now?"

Jocelyn could not believe her ears at all.

Isabella said again, "Master Grey, you heard me right. I'm really at Draxton's place at Northernville Manor."

"This is such mind-blowing news, Bella."

Jocelyn could not hold back her shock.

"He wants to marry me and make Ricky his heir," said Isabella, with a slight laugh, dropping yet another bomb on Jocelyn.

Jocelyn went quiet for a couple of seconds. Then, she asked, "Did you use artificially-cultured poisonous bugs on him?"

Isabella replied, "I would never dare to do that to him. The man can't be controlled in that way."

"Does this mean he fell for your charm? Well done! Before he met you, he hated you to the core. But the moment he sees you, he wants to marry you and take you home for himself." Isabella narrowed her eyes. "Perhaps he was really smitten by my charm."

Once again, Jocelyn went quiet before she continued, "Bella, you know that this is no laughing matter, right? Have you made up your mind? Are you sure about this?"

Isabella sighed and replied in a solemn tone, "Master Grey, I have no choice either. Rather than taking him on by using brute force, this situation is already much better than I could ever imagine." Jocelyn didn't say anything for a moment, but then, she sneered, "Well, you certainly make a good point."Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

She continued, "I don't want you or Ricky to get bullied. If anyone tries to touch you, you can always come back.

We might not want trouble in Lotus Village, but it doesn't mean that we are cowards. If anyone touches you and crosses the line, they are not going to like what they see." Isabella narrowed her eyes. "Uh-huh. I know."

After ending the video call with Jocelyn, Isabella hugged Ricky and kissed his cute little face. She asked, "Ricky Baby, did you have fun recently?"

Ricky blinked his cute big eyes and looked at his mother helplessly as if he had no strength. "Uh-huh. I sure

did."

Isabella hugged Ricky as they curled up in bed together. Soon, they were sound asleep.

When Draxton entered the roorn, he saw Isabella and Ricky sleeping together.

He walked up to the bedside and sat down. As he quietly looked at their sleeping faces, the expression on his face softened gradually..

Since Freddie Lockwood offended the chieftain, he was surely handled by him.

Freddie and his son were already sent to jail.

In fact, Freddie was the key personnel at Lockwood Group, but unexpectedly, his days were over.

His deeds combined with his son's had brought widespread indignation. Also, they were the scourge of the

company.

Their imprisonment was a signal of more to come The next day after putting them in jail, people from several upper management of Lockwood Group were taken care of one after another. Those empty positions were quickly filled up by newcomers who were selected by Draxton.

The changes took place swiftly and quietly, so the daily operation of Lockwood Group wasn't affected by it at all.

Benjamin Lockwood wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said, "I'm glad that I wasn't stupid and followed in Freddie's footsteps."

Daniel Lockwood glanced at him smugly and said, "Dad, I warned you about it, right?"

Benjamin looked at his son. He seemed exceptionally impressed by his son for once. "Son, I have to admit that you did well."

The father and son happened to see Draxton and Isabella together when they went for a checkup at the hospital.

When they got back from the hospital, they kept trying to investigate Isabella's identity, but to no avail.

They did not dare to do it blatantly because they were afraid to attract Draxton's attention.

For the past few days, they suppressed their urge to investigate the woman. After all, it was impossible for the chieftain's woman to stay home without going out at all.

Sure enough, they finally succeeded in getting what they wanted.

Ever since Isabella moved into Northernville Manor, she had not gone out.

Whenever they were free, she would bring Ricky to the maple forest.

Isabel and Ricky were definitely homebodies.

As time passed, the maple leaves slowly turned into a reddish color. Isabella and Ricky took pleasure in observing their changes.

Draxton could not take it any longer. The weather outside happened to be good as he said to Isabella, "I've made reservations at Savour. I will take you both to have some food there tomorrow night." Isabella had heard about Savour as well, so she could not help feeling excited.

She agreed to go with him the moment he brought it up.

The next day, Isabella, Ricky, and Draxton headed to Savour.

He had booked a private room so they could eat without any distractions.

As they waited for the food to be served, Isabella said to Ricky, "Ricky, can you wait with Daddy? I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute, okay?"

Ricky nodded obediently. He retrieved a packet of tissue from his bag and handed it to Isabella.

Isabella smiled brightly. She touched Ricky's curly hair and praised him. "Thank you. You're such a thoughtful boy."

Draxton raised his brow and looked sideways at Ricky. "A thoughtful boy, huh?"

Ricky glanced at him with his lips pursed but did not say a word.

Draxton could not help laughing. He reached out his large hand and rubbed the boy's head hard.

After coming out of the bathroom, Isabella washed her hands. Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming in from outside. At the same time, the voices of two women could be heard. The moment Isabella heard one of the voices, her hands froze over the sink.

Within a second, two women had already walked into the bathroom.

"Sam, isn't this awesome? From now on, you're my sister-in-law."

The girl with short red hair was holding Samantha's arm intimately. She had a big smile on her face, looking

mischievous.

"Sam, let me tell you a secret. My older brother was so happy that he didn't sleep a wink last night."

Samantha blushed slightly and retorted, "Gina, cut it out. There are people around us."

Regina Rivera stopped walking and turned to look in the direction of the basin area. Samantha did the same. They saw a woman washing her hands with her back facing them. After turning off the tap, the woman raised her head.

In an instant, they saw the reflection of her beautiful face in the mirror.

Her eyes were the most beautiful features of her entire face. It felt as though her eyes were capable of pulling people in and no one could turn their eyes away from them. Regina could not help feeling blown away by her beauty.

Meanwhile, Samantha's eyes widened in disbelief.

The moment Isabella saw the look of shock on Samantha's face, she was delighted.

Isabella's lips curved upwards as she smiled at Samantha in disdain.
