Chapter 23 They Came Again
Sophia blinked her eyes. “That maid already has a kid. Mom, don’t you think he is…”
Amelia sneered, “Impossible. If he is Mr. Lockwood’s son, he should have been sent back to the Lockwood family’s residence long before; however, we have never heard of the news.
“Humph. That’s not the end. We will not forget about it.”
Unfortunately, the arrogant mother and daughter did not have a clear look at Ricky’s appearance.
In other words, they never cared about Ricky’s appearance. They were only concentrating on giving Isabella a
lesson.
Sophia also resented Isabella to a great extent. Touching her swollen face, a gloomy look took over her eyes. Thinking that Isabella and Ricky had both been freaked out, Draxton stayed with them for the rest of the day. The following day, a siren went off from outside and echoed within the estate. “Attention! An attack is coming.
With Cooper’s alert, all the defense system was activated. Alan and Martin held Draxton in the center to protect him.
In the monitoring room, Cooper watched the so–called “attack“.
Amelia and Sophia, along with an elderly from the Lockwood family’s branch, sat in a car and broke into the Northernville Mannor.
However, they apparently broke into a pathway that was not supposed to enter by accident.
It fed to the ongoing siren.
“I do remember. It must be the correct way, but why everything looks different?”
Amelia murmured to herself while driving. She struggled to ask an elderly from the Lockwood family’s branch to act on her behalf. And yet, even if she came in, they got lost.
Following the piercing siren, more than a dozen dark muzzles were aiming at them.
Amelia, dressed like a first–class lady with a garishly made–up face, moved her bloody lips and exclaimed.
“Mr. Freddie, see what Mr. Lockwood has done to us. He bites the hands that feed him!
“He even dared to point the riffles at us. Oh my goodness! Back then, my dad saved the former chieftain’s life by risking his own. How could Mr. Lockwood be so mean to us?”
The elderly named Freddie frowned and replied, “Mr. Lockwood is really unfair to you all.”
Freddie was a brother to Amelia’s father, Nathan Lockwood. Although they were not biological siblings, they had a close relationship and got along well.
This time, Amelia asked him to be a mediator between her and the chieftain, so Freddie came with her.
Unexpectedly, they ran into such an incident.
Freddie got pissed off. Nevertheless, those ruthless robots with riffles were not just scaring them. Seemingly, they were to be shot once they moved a little.
“Leave within ten seconds or be shot to death,” said a robot in a monotone voice.
The three people in the car all gritted their teeth.
“I don’t buy it! How dare Mr. Lockwood shoot us for real!” Amelia was not going to give in without a fight.
While they were talking in the car, the robots were counting quietly. As time went by, the car was still staying put.
Sophia even sat tight with a pair of puppy eyes in the car.
She knew there was a surveillance camera in the estate. She came up with an idea, thinking it was a great opportunity.
She was supposed to present herself bravely and uniquely so that Drax would see her merits.
Drax’s background and social status were worth her giving a try. How could she let go of such a perfect man?
No man could stand the temptation from a woman. Sophia did not believe that Drax could really resist her charm and ignore her.
With this thought in mind, Sophia started to present herself as an adorable, brave, stubborn, yet charming woman who was withholding the tears in her eyes.
She straightened her back and exclaimed, “Drax, I knew you could see us!
“We are visiting to talk everything through. How could you send us away for no reason yesterday? Now, you even let them point at us with a bunch of riffles. Did we do anything wrong?
“How could you be so mean to me? I don’t understand!”
Cooper had nothing to say.
Looking at what was going on via the monitor, he only felt amused.
