The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318 Life And Death

Cecilia immediately felt as if a cold and powerful iron pincer was gripping her neck. There was a piercing pain in her throat, and the suffocating feeling instantly went straight to her brain.

Her eyes widened in shock as if she was still shocked that someone had grabbed her by the throat.

“How could anyone bear to treat me like this?” she thought.

She was so delicate that she had never thought that someone would treat her so ruthlessly.

She had only captured their child, but they actually treated her like this!

“Damn it, everyone in the Lockwood family deserves to die!” she cursed secretly.

Draxton’s large hand gripped Cecilia’s neck tightly. The strength was so strong and ruthless that it was as if he wanted to snap this woman’s neck.

However, he was very restrained. It was the amount of strength that didn’t kill people but dealt the most damage.

He grabbed Cecilia’s neck and quickly returned to his original position.

His speed was so fast that no one could react.

Cecilia was in extreme pain. The suffocation made her face turn red and gradually turn purple.

She raised an arm and reached in Julian’s direction. Her mouth opened and closed as she begged for help. but because her throat was tightly held, she could not make any sound.

Julian’s expression changed. He stared at Draxton and said, “Mr. Lockwood, what do you mean by this?”

Draxton looked at him with dark eyes. Instead of answering, he asked, “Mr. Duncan, the Lockwood family and the Barclays family have been at odds with each other for a century.”

“But do you know why our families can still leave everything behind and work together now?” he added. Julian was stunned. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed drastically.

Julian looked at Draxton without saying anything.

Cecilia’s eyes widened with pain. She was also wondering why.

“The Lockwood family and the Barclays family are clearly enemies, but why are they still willing to work with each other without any misgivings?” she thought.

Draxton looked at Julian indifferently and said, “Because the dispute between the Lockwood family and the Barclays family is only targeted at the competition for resources.”

“Our families have always adhered to a bottom line, which is not to harm our families,” he added.

“And you, Mr. Duncan and Miss Grey, you are taking my daughter’s life as a joke. Seventy years ago, a direct member of my family was killed by the enemy. Do you know what the Lockwood family did?” he continued.

Julian’s expression darkened even more.

As for Cecilia, whose eyes were wide open and faces were filled with pain and resentment, she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes finally revealed a trace of deep fear.

Draxton ignored their expressions and said, “Those who hurt my family will definitely not get away with it without paying.”

“That enemy’s family was elated by the Lockwood family. Not a single living thing was left alive. It’s not an exaggeration to say that blood flowed like a river.”

Julian’s expression was incomparably solemn. He said in a deep voice, “Mr. Lockwood, although we were in the wrong this time, we don’t have to take it this far where one of us has to die for it.”

“Calm down first. Why don’t we discuss how to save your daughter first and not waste time here?”

“I’m very calm.” Draxton looked at the woman whose neck he was holding and said calmly, “Miss Grey, why don’t we play a game? A game of life and death!”

Cecilia’s pupils constricted violently. She had a sudden sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.

The next moment, Draxton let go of Cecilia.

Cecilia felt the air rushing toward her. She immediately took a deep breath greedily. As she took a deep breath, she looked at Julian with teary eyes and ran toward him.

At this moment, Draxton said, “Miss Grey, I advise you not to run toward Mr. Duncan. You should run further away, ten kilometers away, let’s say.”
