The Billionaire’s Kick Ass Wife

Bernard Lockwood of the twins joined in. [Welcome!]

The other twin Shepard Lockwood did not want to miss out as well. [Welcome!]

Olivia sent a message as well. [Welcome, sister-in-law. I’m your sister!]

Isabella was kind of speechless.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly. The Lockwood family seemed to be more enthusiastic than she

had expected.

Yale sent a message to mock Olivia. [Olivia Lockwood, you’re too shameless. You’re talking as if we

aren’t her siblings as well!]

To which Oliva replied, [I was born to the same parents and you weren’t. How can we be the same?

Sister-in-law, come and dote on me. Ignore them!] And she tagged Isabella too.

Isabella did not know what to say.

“My granddaughter-in-law entered the group?” Patriarch Lockwood was stunned. Then, he sent a

dancing little yellow duck emoji.

The little yellow duck was cute. Isabella was about to type when a big red packet popped out.

Patriarch Lockwood had sent a red packet and tagged her. [Granddaughter-in-law, come and collect the

exclusive red packet from grandpa.]

They were so enthusiastic that Isabella didn’t even have time to say anything. She glanced at the man

beside her. Draxton was looking at her with a smile. Isabella’s ears turned red. Then, he smiled and sent

a message to the group. Bella Babe sent a message. [Hello everyone, I’m Isabella Thompson.]

Then, she accepted the red packet.

Bernard sent a message. [Hello, Isabella!]

Shepard did the same. [Hello, Isabella!]

Olivia replied instantly. [Hello, Isabella!]

Yale gave a reply soon after. [Hello, Isabella!]

Roger greeted her as well.

And the list goes on…

However, the most eye-catching one was Patriarch Lockwood’s. [Hello, granddaughter-in-law!]

Bella Babe sent a message. [Hello, grandpa!]

Patriarch Lockwood replied, [Hi!]

Then Isabella sent a red packet to the group.

And another…

She had sent many to the group.

“Patriarch Lockwood snatched your red packet.”

“Bernard Lockwood snatched your red packet.”

Then, a series of notifications popped up.

Olivia was unhappy. [You guys are too much. I didn’t even get a red packet. Can’t you leave one for me?]

Yale sent a proud-faced emoji in response.

Olivia sent numerous emojis to express her exasperation.

Patriarch Lockwood was the one who snatched the most. He posted a big yellow emoji baring its teeth.

[Sister-in-law, I want a red packet!] Olivia also sent an emoji of a cute girl who seemed to look at Isabella

expectantly.

Isabella could not help but laugh. She casually sent out a red packet.

“Dad, Mom, Uncle, and Aunt are probably busy and unaware. Grandma is probably taking advantage of

the chaos to eat snacks secretly and didn’t take notice.”

Draxton didn’t need to think to know what was going on at home.

Isabella counted the gifts she had brought. Fortunately, she had bought enough for everyone.

She tilted her head to look at the quiet Ricky and rubbed his little head. “Ricky, we’ll be able to see Dad’s

family soon. Are you happy?”

Ricky wasn’t happy, nor was he unhappy. He glanced at his mother’s phone. The people in the group

seemed to welcome his mother. He nodded. “Yes, if Mom is happy, Ricky is happy too.”

Isabella was instantly moved beyond words. What a heartwarming baby.

Draxton said, “Great-grandpa, great-grandma, as well as grandpa and grandma… They are all looking

forward to seeing you and Mom.”

Ricky nodded and said, “Ricky will also be obedient.”

Draxton reached out and rubbed his curly hair.

He looked at Isabella and said, “You taught him well.”

Isabella thought, “That’s because you haven’t seen how naughty Betty is. I hope you can still say that

when the time comes.”

Isabella smirked devilishly.

Her expression was exactly the same as Betty’s evil smile.

Draxton felt an inexplicable numbness on his back, but he could not explain why.

The car drove towards the entrance of the old residence. When the patrolling robots realized that it was

an unauthorized car, they let it pass.

The house was enormous. Silas parked the car in the parking area and realized that there were many

cars parked there. They must belong to family members who had come from all over.

“Let’s not rush. I’ll show you around so that you can familiarize yourself with the surroundings,” Draxton

said. He led Isabella Thompson and Ricky around.

Ricky was curious about everything in the old residence until they discovered an animal park.

“There’s a lion!” Ricky’s interest was piqued. He pointed at the white lion on the other side of the iron

fence with sparkling eyes.

“Great-grandpa likes lions, so he raised one at home. Its name is Furry. Great-grandpa has raised it

since he was young. It has a good temper and doesn’t usually bite. However, it’s still a wild beast. We

have to be careful.”

With that, Draxton led Ricky to see the lion.

Isabella looked at their silhouettes and smiled. She was not interested in lions, so she strolled around.

There was a garden in the house and a rockery with a swing beside it.

Isabella planned to sit by the swing for a while.

She sat down on the swing and sighed inwardly. Then she marveled at how extraordinary the residence

looked. It was classic but imposing and gave off a dignified feeling. This was the foundation that had

been settled over time, as well as the dignity brought about by the prosperity of the family.

The Lockwood Group was indeed worthy of its reputation.

Suddenly, she heard an unusual voice.

Isabella tilted her head and listened carefully. She heard the voice coming from behind the rockery.

A man’s exasperated voice growled, “Stealing food, you’re stealing food again! How many times has this

been? I let you off last time, but now you’re stealing food again!”

“Boohoo… I’m hungry…”

A sobbing old woman’s voice sounded.

“Hungry? Who would believe that?” the man said angrily.

“I’m really hungry…”

Isabella raised her eyebrows in surprise. As expected of a wealthy family. There were always scandals

that these families had to hide from the public. How could such a big family let an elderly woman starve?

Surely the Lockwood family could afford to feed an old woman?

Isabella did not want to meddle in other people’s business, but at this moment, a voice sounded again. It

was so stern that it was almost cold. “Behave yourself. Hand over the thing in your hand. Don’t make me

take it away.”

“No, I don’t want to. This is for my daughter-in-law.”

The old woman’s voice trembled with fear as she tried her best to hide the item behind her.

The man sneered. “Don’t use your daughter-in-law to pressure me…”

Then, the man went to grab it. Madame Emma Lockwood cried miserably.

Isabella could not take it anymore. She jumped off the swing and walked around the rockery. As

expected, she saw the gray-haired Madame Emma Lockwood being forced to retreat from a tall and

burly man. Madame Emma Lockwood’s hands were behind her back. She was hiding something. At this

moment, Madame Emma Lockwood’s expression was filled with fear and grievance. Her teary eyes were

pitiful.

On the other hand, that man seemed to have some status in this family.

Isabella stood behind the two with a serious expression.

Madame Emma Lockwood was facing Isabella Thompson, while the man’s back was facing Isabella.

Hence, he did not notice her.

Madame Emma Lockwood, on the other hand, saw Isabella. Isabella could not describe how weird

Madame Emma Lockwood’s expression seemed. She looked both excitedly and expectant at the same

time, which did not fit the current scenario.

But before Isabella could think, Madame Emma Lockwood shouted at her, “Save me, save me!”

The man was speechless.

He glared at Madame Emma Lockwood with a dark expression and said angrily, “For a mouthful of food,

you even called for help. How outrageous!”

Madame Emma Lockwood looked at Isabella hopefully.

The man also realized that there was someone behind him, but he did not turn around. He seemed to be

confident that no one would dare to confront him.

He sneered. “Stop shouting. No one will dare save you!”

Taking a deep breath, Isabella finally spoke under Madame Emma Lockwood’s hopeful gaze.

“Uncle, do you have to do this? All for some food?”

Madame Emma Lockwood’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. Isabella took the words out of her

mouth.

She looked at Isabella with shining eyes.

Isabella felt a little strange.

At this moment, the man paused. He seemed to find the voice familiar. He was slightly surprised and

turned around.

In an instant, their eyes met. Isabella and the man were both astonished.

This man had a pair of midnight blue eyes. His facial features were about half as similar to Draxton’s.

Then a realization hit Isabella.

Perhaps she had offended a big shot this time by acting nosily.

This person was either Draxton’s father or his second or third uncle.

She did not expect Draxton’s elders to bully an old woman!

She looked at Madame Emma Lockwood again. She was wearing gray pants and a sweater. Her white

hair was combed neatly, and she looked very gentle and calm.

Isabella felt that Madame Emma Lockwood did not look like a servant. Instead, she looked like…

“Are you Isabella Thompson?” The man spoke, breaking the strange silence.

His midnight blue eyes sized up Isabella.
