The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Exiling

Quentin finally understood that this wasn’t the patriarch’s wife taking power. This was simply Mr. Lockwood giving the patriarch’s wife power

There was no sign of the patriarch’s wife using this opportunity to take power. If the outsiders saw what was happening, they would probably be gobsmacked

Quentin’s face was stiff

He looked at Isabella with a complicated expression.

Isabella clearly did not understand what the family plaque of the Lockwood family represented. She was confused.

*100 years ago, the family plaque was a letter from the head of the Lockwood family’s Punishment Hall. The person in charge of the family plaque was even able to dethrone the patriarch and appoint a new one. “Now, the Lockwood family had canceled the Punishment Hall, but the person in charge of the family plaque is equivalent to the patriarch.

“In other words, if something happens to the patriarch, the surrogate patriarch could be in charge of the family plaque in place of patriarch until there is a new patriarch.

“The surrogate patriarch could also become the new patriarch.

“Therefore, Grandpa’s asking you to personally retrieve the family plaque. Only then can you openly be in charge of the family.”

Quentin looked at Isabella. He felt that Isabella should show a flattered expression.

But the truth was…

Isabella’s face was filled with disbelief. “Grandpa, you’re asking me to be the surrogate patriarch? Grandpa, you can’t be biased!”

Quentin thought that Isabella meant that the previous patriarch was biased towards her.

However, in the next moment, she saw the previous patriarch actually revealed a guilty expression.

“Bella, it might be a little harsh on you. I promise that other than getting the family plaque back, I’ll definitely get those idle people to do everything else.”

Quentin waited for an answer.

“Something doesn’t seem right!” thought Isabella.

Isabella also knew that Sir Graham Lockwood was being kind.

Although he was quite helpless, he still said, “Zack and Samson are still locked up in the dungeon, Grandpa, I’ll go look for them now.”

She was constantly busy. After dealing with this matter, she would devote herself to the laboratory. Saving Draxton was the most important thing.

“Go. You don’t have to worry about the children.”

Sir Graham Lockwood waved with a gratified expression.

Isabella said a few more words to the children before leaving

Sir Graham Lockwood turned to look at Quentin and said. “Let’s go have a game of chess”

Quentin was dragged away with a dazed expression.

Isabella went to the dungeon.

Zack and Samson were locked up. During this period of time, they did not suffer much and were not starved. They did not dare to make a fuss. Recently, they had been afraid that the main family would be ruthless and kill them.

When they saw that it was Isabella, their eyes were filled with fear.

Isabella was not a kind person. If she came, it might not be a for something good.

As expected, Isabella opened her mouth and said, “Do you want to die or live?”

Zack and Samson looked at each other and then secretly sized up the look on Isabella’s face.

“Of course we want to live, but will you let us go?” said Zack.

“Yes. However, on the condition that you hand over the family plaque,” Isabella said indifferently.

Zack and Samson were taken aback. Then, a meaningful smile appeared on their faces.

“I see. Haha! Isabella, you actually came for the family plaquel

“Why should we believe you? What if you kill us after we hand over the family plaque?” asked Zack.

He wasn’t going to believe Isabella that easily.

Isabella looked at them indifferently and said coldly, “You are no condition to negotiate.

“Don’t forget, members of your families are in my hands

Her words made Zack and Samson feel uneasy.

“If you really don’t kill us, are you going to let all of us go?” asked Zack.
