The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife (Isabella Thompson) novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 A Lot Of Good Opportunities

Benjamin smiled and said humbly, “That’s right. You see, we are from the Lockwood family as well.”

Isabella nodded. “Oh, I see. I still have to thank you for helping me earlier.”

“You’re welcome. It was the least I could do,” said Benjamin.

Draxton looked at them and asked, “Which branch are you from?”

Benjamin replied, “Chieftain, we are in charge of the Landow district.”

“Is he your son?” asked Draxton as he looked at Daniel.

Without wasting a second, Benjamin said, “Yes, that’s right. His name is Daniel Lockwood. He just came back from studying abroad in Avon. Although he is still young and has little experience, he is an honest man at heart. The Landow district isn’t suitable for young people. I was hoping to find a bigger platform for him so he could develop his career. It doesn’t matter even if he has to work from the lowest level.”

Draxton scrutinized Benjamin. Even though the man had a down-to-earth appearance, he was a shrewd man. He came from the Landow district with limited resources, so that was as far as people could get. If they wanted to improve, they really needed the right platform.

It was human nature for him to help his son carve a better future as a father.

Draxton was not worried about open and veiled infighting. Instead, as long as it was healthy competition and served the family well, he could accept and tolerate them. Sometimes, he would even encourage it.

“Daniel Lockwood, right? You can start working at North Star Group tomorrow. Someone will make arrangements for you,” said Draxton.

His tone sounded casual. The moment he finished his sentence, he held Isabella’s hand and walked into the private room.

Benjamin was exhilarated upon hearing the mind-blowing news.

Daniel was also very thrilled by the unexpected opportunity. He glanced at his father, who was still in shock. Then, he said, “Chieftain, thank you for giving me the chance. I promise to work hard. I won’t fail you!” Draxton didn’t even bother to reply to them.

When the door of the private room was closed, Benjamin and Daniel finally recovered from their astonishment and joy.

“Daniel, where did the chieftain tell you to report for work tomorrow?” muttered Benjamin in disbelief. Daniel swallowed his saliva and said, “Dad, the chieftain wants me to work at North Star Group. I’m reporting there tomorrow!”

North Star Group was an important company belonging to Lockwood Group. Even the lowest-ranking employees of the company lived in far better accommodations than anyone else in the clan.

Moreover, entering North Star Group meant getting into Lockwood Group’s nucleus of power. If people performed well, they might one day get to work directly under the chieftain. It was no different from rising to the sky career-wise!

Daniel pinched his thigh hard. When he felt the pain, he finally smiled happily and looked satisfied, knowing that he was not dreaming.

“Dad, we certainly made the right move back there. Sure enough, it was a good idea to get close to that lady.” Benjamin slapped his son’s forehead. “What nonsense are you saying? You shouldn’t talk behind her back, okay? Let’s go!”

Benjamin pulled Daniel to leave.

Daniel said, “Dad, shouldn’t we go inside and thank the chieftain properly? Perhaps we should buy them dinner.”

Benjamin glared at his son for his foolishness. “You idiot! Can’t you use your brain? Do you want to go there and play gooseberry?”

Daniel shrank his neck when his father scolded him. “You’re right, Dad. I just got so excited that I forgot.” “But we do have to buy the chieftain dinner as a gesture of our appreciation. Let’s go get the bill for his

private room,” he added.

As Benjamin and Daniel chatted, they walked over to the cashier to settle the bill for Draxton’s private room. Meanwhile, Samantha was sent to the hospital to get treatment.

Isabella had slapped Samantha until her face was terribly swollen, so she probably wouldn’t want to see

anyone for now.

“Rest well. I’ll come over tomorrow to visit,” said Cristian. After taking care of Samantha, Cristian was about to turn around and leave.

Samantha held his hand with her teary eyes. She asked in a sorrowful tone, “Am I so ugly now?”

Cristian turned his head to Samantha and said gently, “Samantha, have you lost all your confidence? Stop imagining things. Just have a good night’s sleep. You’ll be better tomorrow.”
