The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Decisive

Draxton said, “Don’t worry”

Isabella returned to Northernville Manor, while Draxton and Silas went to investigate Carlos.

The reason Carlos was able to escape from Lucsia’s prison must be there was a spy inside.

60 miles away from Dawton City, a helicopter was waiting quietly.

On the helicopter, Ghost and Bridget, as well as a few members of Clan Mobius, were waiting quietly.

They were trying to receive Carlos here. No one had discovered them here.

At the same time, a black car without a license plate was speeding out of Dawton City and toward the helicopter.

At the same time, the Lockwood family’s guards had also found Carlos’s whereabouts and were chasing after him.

At the same time, Marvin and Jacob were sent to Northernville Manor.

In the hall, Isabella looked at the two of them with a cold expression.

She sat on the sofa and looked at the two people, whose hands and feet were tied, with an indifferent and relaxed expression.

It was as if Carlos had never run away, and she was not in a hurry to obtain the secret Jacob mentioned.

“Tell me what you know, and I’ll let you go.” Isabella bent her head to rub the tea cup on the coffee table and said nonchanty

Jacob could feel the pressure from Isabella. He frowned and said, “Bridget Riker is nothing compared to you.

No wonder Draxton chose you.”

Isabella frowned. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“How can I trust you?” Jacob looked at her nonchalant expression and said, “That secret is my only protection. What if I speak out and you don’t keep your promise?”

“Carlos has escaped,” Isabella finally looked up at him and said calmly. “But he can’t get far. Draxton will get him back.”

A glint flashed across Jacob’s eyes. Clearly, this was within his expectations.

“Draxton only has a 50% chance of capturing him. There’s also a 50% chance that he will successfully escape.”

Jacob’s lips curled into a smile. “Miss Thompson, you won’t do anything to me and my master as long as I hold off and don’t tell you this secret.”

Isabella said without hesitation, “Carlos must die.”

Her tone was flat, but Jacob was terrified because he felt a strong intent of killing in Isabella’s flat tone.

Therefore, as long as he kept that secret, Isabella would definitely not dare to do anything to him.

However, Isabella said, “You only have two choices. If you tell me the secret, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, if you keep the secret, I’ll kill you and find it out myself. You only have ten minutes. After ten minutes, whether you live or die depends on your choice…”

After saying that, Isabella stopped talking. Instead, she picked up her teacup and slowly drank it.

Cooper walked over with a bowl of dumplings and said, “Mrs. Lockwood, eat something. You won’t be able to sleep if you drink too much tea at night.”

“Thank you, Cooper.” Isabella smiled and picked up the small bowl to eat slowly.

Meanwhile, Jacob’s head was covered in cold sweats.

He and Marvin exchanged glances. Neither of them could be sure that Isabella was telling the truth.

Marvin said, “Miss Thompson, are you sure you won’t kill us and will let us go if Jacob tells you the secret?”

He tried to confirm again.

Isabella said, “Yes, I’m sure.”

Marvin and Jacob exchanged glances again.

Jacob’s expression was a little twisted. He could not determine if Isabella was telling the truth or not. Now, whether he told it or not, their lives were at Isabella’s disposal.

If he told her, he might live. If he didn’t.

If they had known earlier, they would never provoke Isabella.

The bowl of dumplings was a very small one. In just a few minutes, Isabella finished it.

She put down the bowl, glanced at the time, and said, “Four minutes.”

Jacob and Marvin were sweating profusely.

Isabella lowered her eyes and waited quietly.
