The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 Fighting For Favor

Although surprised, Isabella firmly refused. “I’m afraid not. I have nothing to do with the Lang family. There’s no good reason for me to run the company. It is not my obligation to step in. Besides, I don’t have any experience in management. You must have other reliable candidates.”

Ethan looked at her blankly,

On the neighboring bed, Mrs. Lang looked at Isabella’s back, tears pouring silently from her eyes.

In the past, why had she felt that Samantha Lang was good?

Mrs. Lang couldn’t see that Samantha was clearly a mercenary, hypocritical, and heartless ingrate. Mrs. Lang had abandoned her biological daughter for this ingrate.

Now Mrs. Lang was looking at Isabella, who was calm and dispassionate. When she and Mr. Lang were in trouble, Isabella still came to see them.

If Isabella had been ordinary, she wouldn’t have missed this excellent opportunity to enter the Lang Corporation. However, she rejected it without hesitation.

Tears streamed down Mrs. Lang’s face, blurring her vision, but she still stared at Isabella’s figure without blinking. She seemed to be afraid that she would not be able to see Isabella again if she looked any less.

“I’m sorry… Mrs. Lang said in her heart.

Ethan turned to look at Draxton beside Isabella. He did not know him, but he knew that this man was unusual. Nobody would treat Draxton as a common person.

“Sir, what’s your name?”

Draxton said, “I’m Draxton Lockwood.”

Draxton… Lockwood…

Ethan was stunned. In Dawton City, there was only one family with the surname of Lockwood.

Ethan had never met Draxton Lockwood before, but he knew that the patriarch of the Lockwood family was called Draxton Lockwood.

Ethan smiled bitterly in his heart.

He looked at Isabella with a complicated expression and said to Draxton, “I didn’t know you are Mr. Lockwood. I was rude. However, I have to ask you and Isabella for help now…”

Draxton said, “Mr. Lang, don’t worry. If you really need our help, I will arrange for someone to help the Lang Corporation to overcome the immediate difficulties.”

Ethan’s eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Draxton, who seemed to understand what the former meant. Glancing at Isabella gently, Draxton said, “Everything I do, I do it for Bella.”

A hint of gratitude appeared in Ethan’s eyes. Then, he looked at Isabella with a gleam of gratification.

Isabella’s life had been full of misfortunes for the past twenty years. Now, she had found a boyfriend who loved her and cared about her. And her boyfriend was the patriarch of the Lockwood family.

He was not only relieved but also a little proud. She deserved to be his child. Though she had been at the bottom of her life before, she still had been outstanding.

“I am not supposed to ask you to help me with Jason’s matter. However, at this moment, I can only push my luck once I hope Mr. Lockwood will help me look for Jason. If he’s alive, I want to see him. If he’s dead, I want to see his corpse.”

Draxton said, “It’s nothing.”

“Thank you…”

Ethani was extremely grateful.

Isabella lowered her head and did not speak.

Draxton said to Ethan, “It’s a piece of cake. Even if it were a stranger instead of you, I would help him or her if

I could’

How could Ethan not understand what he meant? Ethan could not help but feel bitter.

Draxton would help him only out of convenience instead of because of the fact that he was Bella’s father. “Mr. Lang, if there’s nothing else, Bella and I will leave now.”

Ethan could only nod instead of saying anything.

Out of courtesy, Draxton also nodded at Mrs. Lang, but Isabella only glanced at her indifferently and left without saying a word.

Mrs. Lang struggled agitatedly again, and hysterical whimpers came from her throat.

Her eyes turned red and her heart was filled with endless regret. She had never hated people from the Thompson family so much.

They were the ones who had destroyed her family. She originally had a son and a daughter. It was the greedy people from the Thompson family who had swapped her biological daughter, keeping her separate from her daughter Isabella. In the end, that imposter had done such an unforgivable thing….

It was her fault. She had caused her son trouble and driven her daughter away. She hated it and regretted it… She was in extreme pain. She opened her eyes wide and fainted.

The nurse was terrified and quickly called for help.

The ward was in chaos again.
