The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 The Thompsons’ Scheme

But after some moments of hesitation, Isabella finally fell silent.

There was no rush when it came to Betty’s matter.

By the time the evening came, Isabella suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Because she realized that her bedroom had been moved from the master bedroom to Draxton’s room. Isabella was speechless.

With a serious expression, Draxton said, “We’re legally married, and we even have a child. Sleeping together shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

She said nothing.

This man was indeed a fearless one.

Seeing that Isabella said nothing as she looked at him with a dazed expression, Draxton raised his eyebrow and said, “Five years ago, you were so bold. You even made the move yourself. Why are you so timid now?”

Isabella looked at him in surprise and asked, “Mr. Lockwood, do you want me to… treat you like I did five years ago?”

Draxton fell silent.

His ears turned red. But his face became stern as he said, “We’re already married. I think you should address me differently.”

Isabella pondered for a moment and called out, “Draxton.”

The corners of Draxton’s taut, straight lips curved upward slightly.

Being with her had always felt comfortable. She would always make him feel at ease.

He added, “You don’t have to treat me like you did five years ago. Instead, I’ll take the initiative now.”

Isabella was confused for a moment. It was only when she realized what he meant that she could not help but laugh.

Her almond-shaped eyes curved up. She looked at him with fascination, and her voice seemed to carry a teasing note. “Is that so?”

Although Draxton’s ears had turned crimson red, his expression was extremely solemn. “Yes.”

It was as if he was talking about a serious topic.

Isabella could not help but laugh.

She said, “Well, then… let me see how you’ll fare.”

She turned around and went into the bathroom.

Draxton’s handsome face blushed slightly. He watched her silhouette walk away while narrowing his eyes assertively.

He could never let her underestimate him.

In the eyes of the law, they were now husband and wife.

That night, both of them indulged in the ultimate form of pleasure. Only this time, they were both sober.

They were so in tune with each other that the night was beyond their expectations. But there was no doubt that the next morning, Draxton looked at Isabella with even more passion.

Isabella was a little sore the next day. Feeling quite upset, she did not look at him.

She was not angry at how rough he had been last night. She was upset at how she had lost to him. She felt humiliated.

No, she had to get back at him tonight.

After breakfast, Isabella took Ricky to the kindergarten.

After the incident with Alan and Martin, when it came to sending and picking up Ricky, Isabella no longer wanted to hire someone as a driver.

She had nothing to do, after all, and she preferred to do it herself.

When Isabella sent Ricky to the kindergarten, she did not notice that a red sports car was parked across the street. Two people were sitting inside.

They were none other than Samantha and Mr. Thompson.

Samantha, who had lost to Isabella previously, had been looking for a chance to get back at her.

But as it turned out, she could not even figure out Isabella’s whereabouts.

Samantha could not find a single piece of information about Isabella either.

It was right then that Samantha accidentally saw Isabella sending a child to the kindergarten.

Samantha had no time to think about the relationship between that child and Isabella. She only spoke excitedly. “Dad, look. It’s Isabella. We have finally found her.”

Hearing Samantha’s words, Mr. Thompson immediately looked in the direction she pointed at. Indeed, it was Isabella.

Isabella wore a classic full-length beige trench coat. She had let her hair down and had an air of effortless chic around her.

She looked completely different from before.

Once upon a time, Isabella was like a shackled beast. Her true nature had been hidden. But now, she was like a wild horse, free and captivating to look at.

Mr. Thompson’s expression changed.

For a moment, he even thought, “True royalty is true royalty. Sammy can’t possibly be compared to her.”

But such thoughts only popped into his mind for a brief moment. Immediately, he abandoned them without a trace.

To him, Sammy was the best.

“Dad, she’s not the same as before. She’s back for revenge this time. You don’t know how scary she was that day. I think she’s a desperate lunatic and nothing is beneath her. Dad, I’m scared.”

Samantha was muttering to her father after seeing Isabella. Her face was a little pale.

Hearing his daughter’s terrified voice, he stared at Isabella. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He then spoke in a warm and comforting voice, “Sammy, don’t be scared. Mom and Dad are here. She will not be a threat to you. We will protect you. Since she died five years ago, she shouldn’t be alive now.

“Dad” Samantha cried in panic, but a smile flashed under her eyes.

It had been five years. He was now wearing a suit worth tens of thousands of dollars, the family had moved to a big house, and Mrs. Thompson was also wearing designer brands.

They were very proud that they could live such a good life. It was all thanks to their daughter, Samantha.

From time to time, Samantha would give them some money, too. During these five years, the Thompson. couple’s life had turned 180 degrees.

Although they could not compare to the Lang family, they were considered rich among ordinary people. They were very satisfied with their life.

As long as Samantha was the first lady of the Lang family, the good times would never end.

Once Mr. and Mrs. Thompson reaped those benefits, Samantha became even more precious, and they had long forgotten that Isabella existed.

The Lang family never mentioned Isabella’s name, either. It was as if she had never existed.

In the eyes of the Lang family and the Thompson family, only Samantha mattered.

Samantha was everyone’s little princess. She was extremely precious.

But Isabella’s sudden return had caught the Thompson family off guard.

“While the Lang family has not seen her yet, we have to make her disappear,” Mr. Thompson said through gritted teeth.

Hurriedly, Samantha said, “Dad, murder is against the law. We can simply kick her out of Dawton City. Her

death wouldn’t matter. But if you get involved, everything will be over.”

Of course, Samantha said that on purpose. She was retreating in order to advance.

As expected, Mr. Thompson felt touched by Samantha’s words. His daughter was so sweet that he could not bear to let her get hurt.

Now, he was even more determined to get Isabella killed.

He said, “Sammy, you’re a good girl. I know what to do about Isabella. You don’t need to worry about it.” Samantha nodded obediently and lowered her head, her eyes twinkling.

The truth was, for her, her parents had become dispensable.

But when Isabella returned, she was glad to realize that having provided for her parents for five years was worthwhile.

At this point, for example, they could be her weapon whenever she wanted them to be.
