Chapter 271 Willful Patriarch’s Wife
The next day, Quentin went out to the Lockwood family’s residence.
Theo stood in front of the window. When he saw his grandfather leaving. Theo could not help but frown.
Ares walked in and watched Quentin leave. He said gloomily to Theo, “Actually, your Grandpa’s worries
are not unreasonable.”
Theo did not say anything. After a moment, he said, “Grandpa is no longer a member of Expendable
Camp. I cannot touch him.”
Ares was speechless.
Theo was so inflexible that Ares wanted to trash his son to death.
Then, Ares heard Theo say, “Alderic, Grey, and Queal all said that the patriarch’s wife is also very
impressive. If Grandpa said anything bad about her, she might beat him up.”
Theo’s tone was filled with a sense of relief.
What Theo meant to say was that though he could not hit his grandfather, the patriarch’s wife could.
Ares continued to be speechless.
Ares turned around and left. He was afraid that if he did not leave, there would be a tragic moment of a
father and son killing each other.
What Theo did not mention was that the patriarch’s wife was Butterfly!
When he thought of that, Theo’s eyes lit up. His eyes were filled with admiration. He wondered what it
would look like if his father and the patriarch’s wife were to fight.
However, based on Butterfly’s past achievements, he estimated that she was slightly stronger than his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfather.
He kind of wanted to see them fight.
Theo looked outside without saying a word, but the little voice inside his heart was shouting at the top of
his voice.
On the other hand, Quentin’s car suddenly stalled just as it was about to reach the Lockwood family’s
residence.
The chauffeur tried a few times but failed to start the car.
Quentin’s face slowly darkened.
“What’s going on?” he asked grimly.
Cold sweat broke out on the chauffeur’s forehead. “Sir, I think it should be a problem with the wiring,”
said the chauffeur. “We haven’t driven this car for a long time. I didn’t expect such a problem. I’m sorry.”
It was not the chauffeur’s fault, either. He checked the cars in the garage every day to make sure nothing
went wrong.
However, the car they were driving had not been used for a long time.
He also did not think that Quentin would let him drive this car in order not to attract Theo’s attention.
Now, they were about a mile away from the Lockwood family’s residence. It was neither far nor close.
“Sir, why don’t we call Mr. Ares and ask him to send another car over?”
That was the chauffeur’s suggestion.
Quentin rolled his eyes and said, “No, no. Theo will find out.”
The chauffeur looked a little troubled. He said, “Why don’t you call the Lockwood family’s residence and
ask them to send a car out to pick you up?”
“I suppose that’s the only way,” said Quentin with a sigh.
Quentin took out his phone and was about to call the family’s residence when a car drove over from
behind. Isabella was supposed to go to the laboratory, but Sir Graham Lockwood called her and said that
he had something important to discuss with her, so she made a trip to the Lockwood family’s residence
first.
She looked at the car outside. Two men were standing next to the car.
There was only one destination for anyone who could take this road The Lockwood family’s residence.
Looking at the old man’s face again, Isabella suddenly recognized him. He was Quentin. She had seen
the Information about the members of the Lockwood family who held higher positions, so she had
naturally seen Quentin’s photo.
They were most likely going to the Lockwood family’s residence. However, from the looks of it, their car
had broken down.
Hence, Isabella stopped the car and rolled down the window. She asked, “Sir, are you going to the
Lockwood family’s residence?”
Isabella drove a white car. Because of Draxton, she had lost some weight over the past two days She
looked pretty and delicate.
She tilted her head as she asked the question, looking very meek and harmless.
Quentin’s eyes lit up as if he was looking at his savior. He nodded. “Yes, I’m going to the Lockwood
family’s residence,” he said. “Young lady, are you going there, too?”
As he spoke, he looked at Isabella. This girl should be Olivia’s or Yale’s friend. Or maybe she was the
girlfriend of one of the young men.
He did not think she could be Isabella because he thought that Isabella must appear very ambitious. In
any case, Isabella would not be like the young lady in front of him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsabella said, “If you don’t mind, I’ll give you a ride.”
“That’s wonderful!” said Quentin. He had been waiting for her to say that
Isabella invited Quentin into the car, while the chauffeur remained where he was and made a call to
make arrangements for the stalled car.
Quentin sat in the back seat and asked, “Young lady, are you going to the Lockwood family’s residence
to see someone?”
Isabella paused for a moment and said, “Sort of. I have some matters to attend to.”
When Quentin saw this young lady’s meek and gentle appearance, he could not help but have a good
impression of her. He also became rather nosy. He asked, “Young lady, are you the girlfriend of one of
the young men?”
Isabella smiled. “No sir, you’re mistaken,” she said. “I’m already married.”
She raised her right hand and waved it. The wedding ring on it shone brightly.
“Wow, you’re married at such a young age,” said Quentin. “Look at how docile and quiet you are. Your in-
laws. must like you very much, right?”
Isabella smiled. “Indeed they do.”
She asked again, “Why are you going to the Lockwood family’s residence?”
Quentin sighed. “It’s all because of the Lockwood family’s patriarch’s wife. She’s so young, but she is
already. very ambitious. If she was half as docile as you, I wouldn’t have come here.”
Isabella looked surprised.
“The patriarch’s wife is not docile?” Isabella probed further.
“What’s docile about her? Hmph, as the patriarch’s wife..” Quentin trailed off. Then he sighed and said,
“Forget it. Why am I telling you this?”
