The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife (Isabella Thompson) novel Chapter 557

Isabella rarely hated someone so much, but Norah Lyons managed to elicit the deepest hatred from Isabella.

She asked, “Mr. Lyons, why didn’t Norah Lyons become President after that? How did she come to Southeast Aelinne and become the headman?”

Wesley Lyons said, “Because of the Lockwood family.”

He glanced at Draxton Lockwood.

“After the Lockwood family found out about Norah Lyons’ plan, not surprisingly, they didn’t allow her plan to succeed. At that time, old Patriarch Lockwood, who was still young, took action and drove Norah away. For the next ten years, Lucsia was under the secret control of the Lockwood family. Besides political maneuvering, they also set up a council.

“During those ten years, the power of the top 10 councilmen reached its peak, but because of the hidden checks and balances implemented by the Lockwood family, they had always maintained some sort of equilibrium.

“This persisted until my elder brother and I grew up.”

Isabella was shocked. So that was the truth behind those ten years. No wonder Norah Lyons hated the Lockwood family so much.

Back then, she had only read about those ten years in textbooks.

Not surprisingly, what she read in the textbooks was different from what Mr. Lyons said.

In any case, the Lockwood family was the real mastermind who held the reins of power behind the scene during that decade.

“The Lockwood family handed the power to us brothers and restrained the power of the 10 influential councilmen. After my elder brother… Eason Lyons became the President, and Norah returned once more. I don’t know what they talked about, but I know that Eason actually allowed her to return to Lucsia.

“Because of that incident, I severed ties with him. I lived in seclusion in Lotus Village ever since and never wanted to come back.

“Eason had always wanted me to come back. He was not doing it for the sake of brotherly ties, but for the other half of the Prime Code Chip that was still in my hand.’

Isabella frowned slightly. “Mr. Lyons, what did the President talk to her about? Logically speaking, he should hate Norah Lyons more than you do.

“Did Norah Lyons also use the crystal robot to control him? Or is there something else going on…”

Isabella was not really speaking up for the President, but she felt that the logic behind it did not make sense.

Wesley gave a scornful laugh. “I’ve always held onto that other half of the Prime Code. I know best whether Eason is being controlled or not.

“Some things do not require logic or a reason. Eason became obsessed with the Prime Code and started coveting it.

“Of course, he hates Norah Lyons, but his hatred doesn’t affect business transactions.”

Not surprisingly, what she read in the textbooks was different from what Mr. Lyons said.

In any case, the Lockwood family was the real mastermind who held the reins of power behind the scene during that decade.

“The Lockwood family handed the power to us brothers and restrained the power of the 10 influential councilmen. After my elder brother… Eason Lyons became the President, and Norah returned once more. I don’t know what they talked about, but I know that Eason actually allowed her to return to Lucsia.
