The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife (Isabella Thompson) novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Gift

Midnight Sun was ranked 10th on the Dark List. It had been sold for 10 billion dollars in an auction five years ago!

An unknown big shot had won the bid then. It turned out Ava Lockwood was in possession of this brooch.

Isabella Thompson felt a little uncomfortable holding something so precious.

It was way too valuable!

Ava tensed up when she saw Isabella’s grim expression. She asked, “Bella, do you not like it?”

The color and style of the brooch were, in fact, compatible with people of all ages.

Isabella denied hurriedly, “No. I like it, of course. It’s really beautiful. I was just shocked because it’s too precious.”

Ava’s interest was piqued. “Oh, do you recognize it, Bella?”

Isabella did not hide anything. She nodded directly and said, “I know some information about it. Its name is Midnight Sun. Five years ago, it was sold for 10 billion Lucsian Dollars.

“Haha, our Bella is indeed knowledgeable. I’m glad that you like it. It’s just a brooch!”

“Thank you, Second Aunt. I like it very much!” Isabella smiled and closed the box carefully.

Mia couldn’t help but smile. She urged, “Bella, take a look at this. This is my gift to you. Do you like it?”

Isabella smiled and opened Mia’s box. Inside was a set of aqua-blue diamond jewelry. There was a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet.

The aqua-blue light seemed to resemble the mysterious glowing light of the moon. It was noble and pure. Isabella held her breath.

Ava joked, “Bella, let’s see if you can tell what this is!”

Isabella took a deep breath and said, “This is the Oceanic Moon.”

Three years ago, the winning bid for Oceanic Moon was 100 billion dollars.

It was even more precious than Midnight Sun. However, when Isabella observed their expressions, she could tell that the three of them cared more about sincerity than the prices of the gifts. They did not care who had given her the more expensive gift.

This was what the members of the Lockwood family were like.

Isabella did not know what to say. She could only stand up and express her gratitude. “I’ve received really precious gifts today. Thank you.”

“That’s nothing. You still haven’t received your gifts from your grandpa, grandma, and the others!” Mia teased, covering her mouth.

Mia’s eyes were shining brightly as she spoke to Isabella.

Isabella could not help but sigh. “I’m very flattered…”

“Haha…” the three of them laughed.

Philip stood outside the door for a while. Then he left resentfully after confirming that he had fallen out of favor.

Isabella said, “I also prepared gifts. Someone will help carry it over later because there are too many. I hope Mom, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt will like them.”

“Oh?” The three of them were clearly interested. Isabella smiled shyly in response. “It may not be comparable to the gifts that I’ve received.”

“Nah, sincerity is key!” Ava waved her hand.

Jeanne and Mia nodded. “We’re family. You don’t have to worry about this!” Jeanne reassured her.

Isabella smiled and nodded. “Alright.”

“Let’s go now. It’s about time. Let’s get ready for dinner. We’ll get to know each other at the dining table later,” Ava suggested.

Everyone agreed.

Jeanne stood up elegantly and led the way out. She could not help but glance at the room Sir Graham Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood was in. When she saw that the door was shut tight, she could not help but smack her forehead.

“My precious grandson must be at the mercy of great-grandpa and great-grandma now.”

“Forget it. The door is shut. They won’t open it even if I knock on the door. They’ll come out later. They won’t bear to starve that little darling.”

Isabella was speechless. She did not know what the two elders would do with Ricky. She wanted to save her son earlier, but she was already surrounded by Olivia and the others in a blink of an eye.

When Jeanne and the other two saw this, they couldn’t help but laugh. “Bella, go join the youngsters. You’re one after all.”

With that, Jeanne and the other two returned to the kitchen. They didn’t go back to the kitchen to work. They had made some food, but that wasn’t enough for the family banquet.

The family banquet was prepared by the chef at home. The robot maid was also responsible for serving the dishes.

However, that did not stop them from developing their cooking interests.

Isabella was led to the group of youngsters by Ava and Mia. Olivia saw them and said, “Sister-in-law, I’m Olivia, your biological sister!”

“Olivia Lockwood, that’s enough. Do you mean to say that I’m not?” Yale Lockwood expressed her dissatisfaction. Then she turned to Isabella. “Sister-in-law, I’m Yale.”

Isabella greeted them with a smile. She did not feel as reserved when interacting with her peers as compared with her elders.

“Sister-in-law, it’s Roger!”

“I’m Kevin…”

A group of people surrounded her. Isabella saw the identical twins, Bernard and Shepard Lockwood. The only difference between the two of them was that Bernard’s pupils were midnight blue, while Shepard’s pupils were pure black.

They must have each inherited it from one parent.

While they were having fun, Draxton walked over. As soon as he came over, the lively crowd fell silent. Draxton glanced at everyone and said, “Your sister-in-law is timid. Don’t scare her!”

Everyone looked at Isabella, who was smiling meekly. Although Isabella was quite introverted, they did not particularly think she was timid.

However, they had no right to refute Daxton’s words.

Some of the youngsters had already taken out the gifts they prepared beforehand. There were all sorts of gifts.

Some of the boys gave cosmetics, lipsticks, and jewelry.

Olivia’s gift was a set of pearl accessories. She said, “Sister-in-law, wear this. I know that Mom and the others must have given you some precious gifts. Maybe even too costly. You can wear the set I gave you if you think wearing theirs is too burdensome.”

Isabella nodded with a smile. Despite that, Olivia’s set also cost about 20 thousand dollars.

Yale also gave her a brooch. This brooch was in the shape of a butterfly and was embedded with colored diamonds. It was also suitable for daily wear.

Yale helped her pin the brooch to the side of her sweater.

Isabella was wearing a beige sweater. Once the brooch was pinned up, it gave the sweater a new feel.

Isabella smiled and said, “Thank you, I like it very much!”

Then Silas Yanter walked in a few robots, carrying several large bags with them.

Isabella’s eyes lit up. “Here’s my present for everyone!”

Everyone craned their necks and looked over, their eyes shining with curiosity.

Kevin, the youngest here, and the girls Olivia and Yale stuck close to Isabella with expectant looks.

Isabella chuckled. These youngsters did not feel uncomfortable around her. Their acceptance and love for her were obvious.

Isabella could tell if they were sincere.

The renowned Lockwood Group and its family members weren’t people who put on airs. They were genuine people, unlike those who flaunt their wealth or title.

Isabella liked this family.

Hence, she could smile more sincerely. Isabella lifted the bags and placed them on the coffee table.

She took out six palm-sized boxes from a bag.
