The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife (Isabella Thompson) novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Contempt

Isabella glanced at Draxton and asked, “Do I look like I have a choice?”

Draxton frowned and asked, “Do you have a problem with me?”

Isabella went quiet.

He was spot on, and she did not like him.

A lot of women might want to marry him, but for her, he simply spelled trouble. Draxton pursed his lips and went quiet.

The expression on Draxton’s face looked just like Ricky’s when he was helpless. Isabella blinked and suddenly laughed out loud.

In reality, other than the troubles he attracted, he was quite an adorable man.

In a way, Isabella liked Draxton since Ricky and Draxton resembled each other.

“I’ll take you out for some fun.”

The look on Draxton’s face softened after looking at her laugh.

He really wanted to bond with her.

“Where are we going?”

“I’m going to take you horse riding.”

Isabella pondered briefly. She had never done horseback riding before.

He brought her to a horse riding club.

The club had all kinds of thoroughbred horses in the stables and a large grand horseback riding course. Not many people were around at the club today. Of the people there, all of them looked rich and powerful judging from their attires.

After entering the club, Draxton went to the lounge to get changed, so Isabella went out first.

The moment she entered the horseback riding course, the people inside noticed her presence. They looked at her from head to toe, moving their eyes like radars, before looking away.

Two men who worked for the club came from behind and said, “Miss, you’re here with a friend, right?”

Isabella nodded in response.

The two of them looked at her with slight contempt. They could tell at a glance that she was just some kept woman. One of the men said, “In that case, why don’t you go over and take horse number 18 then?”

Isabella glanced over and spotted a large black horse. At a single glance, the horse looked wild and untameable.

“I’m Andre Parker. I’m the club’s equestrian coach. Miss, can you come with me? Where is your friend?”

“He’ll be here in a minute,” replied Isabella.

He had been working at the club for nearly 7 to 8 years. The clientele consisted mainly of members from high society.

When Isabella failed to mention the identity of the man behind her, he was certain that it was probably just an ordinary wealthy man.

“Andre, who is this gorgeous lady?”

Three young women in their twenties came over. One of the women with short hair greeted Andre.

Andre was all smiles as he said, “Miss Walker, are you done for the day? How did you perform today?”

“I lost to them.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Isabella and smiled teasingly. “I don’t believe I’ve seen her before.”

Isabella did not respond.

“Oh, yes. Miranda’s little sister is also here. She is new to horseback riding too. Why don’t you teach her

together? Since you’re already teaching her, it doesn’t make a difference to teach one more, right?” As she spoke, she waved at the young woman who was walking over toward them.

The young woman named Elisa Lockwood walked over quickly, her eyes filled with curiosity.

“Of course, it’s no problem at all. You can count on me,” said Andre as he patted his chest confidently. “Miranda and Elisa’s father work for North Star Group. Which family do you come from, Miss?”

The short-haired woman smiled ambiguously at Isabella,

Isabella thought to herself. She was certainly a nosy woman.

When they got to the stable, Andre led a little white horse out of the stables. He proceeded to tell Elisa about what to look out for. Isabella was left by the side and was completely forgotten.

“You’ve heard me, right? Now, you can go with Miss Lockwood now.”

Andre turned his head and spoke to Isabella patronizingly.

Isabella’s eyes turned cold. She glanced at the two horses in front of her. Her horse clearly had a wilder temperament.

Elisa’s horse was already very tame and docile. Also, the little white horse was perfect for a young woman to ride.

The little white horse had a gentle temperament. However, her large black horse looked stubborn and proud in nature. It kicked its legs and flung its tail impatiently as it snorted.

Isabella still wore a cold expression on her face.

The short-haired girl said mockingly, “Miss, since you are new to horseback riding, this is perfect. You can learn with Elisa and hang out together. What are you waiting for? Let’s go. Before your sugar daddy comes, you can go practice your riding first.”

Isabella’s face looked livid. Did she look like a kept woman to her?

The two girls with the short-haired girl also looked at Isabella with contempt.

Isabella could not be bothered by these unmannered women. Instead, she tilted her head sideways and scrutinized the big black horse with a curious look in her eyes.

She stepped forward and wanted to pat the black horse’s head.

The horse retreated and snorted the moment she approached it.

Isabella halted in front of it and placed her hand on it forcibly. She swiftly touched the horse’s furry face before it knew what was happening.

Even though the horse had a wild nature, it had a very glossy coat and its texture felt excellent under her hands.

Isabella narrowed her eyes as she patted the black horse. Before the black horse started to lose its temper, she quickly pulled her hand back.

Andre and the women watched from the side as Isabella interacted with the black horse. A look of contempt emerged in their eyes as they observed her.

Judging from the woman’s actions, she was probably an ignorant country bumpkin. Even her sugar daddy was probably just a small upstart.

Isabella disregarded their gazes and kept looking at the big black horse in front of her. The black horse seemed particularly annoyed as it kept staring at Isabella with hostility.

Isabella’s lips curved upwards. She liked the horse even more. She looked straight into Andre’s eyes and said, “Is this how the club treats its guests? You told your guests to use an untamed horse. If an accident happens, are you going to take responsibility?”

Andre smiled and replied, “Miss, that’s not true. This large black horse is the best-looking horse in the club. I assure you that it has been trained, and no accident is going to happen. Only inexperienced horseback riders might get into accidents occasionally.”

– Isabella said mildly, “From the way you phrase it, are you saying if any accidents happen, it’s your clients’

fault?”

Andre gave a fake smile and said, “That’s not true. Under normal circumstances, accidents rarely happen at

the club.”

In any case, if accidents do happen, they could settle it as well. After all, they had the Lockwood family’s support.

The Lockwood family was the true owner of the horseback riding club.

Andre naturally feared no one.

“Are you going to ride or not? Otherwise, I’m going to go ahead!”

With some hint of impatience, Elisa rushed Isabella into riding the horse as she led the little white horse.
