The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Jason Lang

Madame Rivera did not hide her thoughts. She glanced at Samantha Lang indifferently.

Then she said, “Don’t blame me for being blunt. That video that is trending online is authentic. That nanny swapped the two children with clear malicious intentions back then. The Rivera family refuses to be associated with people of such disgusting nature.”

Samantha’s eyes widened. “So That’s the reason,” she thought. As she expected, the Thompson couple had implicated her.

Samantha sobbed, “Auntie Rivera… They’re them and I’m me. I… I’ll stay away from them from now onwards!”

Madame Rivera looked at her with a complicated expression and said, “Child, they are still your biological parents.”

Samantha’s body stiffened.

No matter how evil the couple was, they were still very protective of Samantha Lang.

Samantha shook her head in panic. For a moment, she did not know what to say. It was as if everything she said was wrong.

Madame Rivera said, “No matter what misdeeds they have done, they are still your biological parents. Haven’t you already acknowledged them five years ago? Can kinship be severed just like that?”

Samantha felt her body become weak. She would rather fall into hell than endure this excruciating pain. She could not take it anymore. Her vision darkened, and she fainted.

Mrs. Lang felt something weighing on her arms. It was Samantha. Her face was pale, and she had lost consciousness.

Jason Lang, who had been paying attention to Samantha, walked over. He took Samantha from his mother’s arms and said, “Mom, I’ll send her back to her room.”

Mrs. Lang watched as Jason carried Samantha upstairs. Then, he looked at the Rivera couple and complained, “Stella, why would you say that in front of Sammy?”

Madame Rivera said, “Didn’t you tell her to go to her room? She refused to leave.”

Mrs. Lang opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Then Mr. Rivera and Madame Rivera stood up.

Mr. Rivera was the first to speak. “Ethan, Rowena, I’m sure you know why we’re here. We’ll make an announcement soon that we’re canceling Cristian Rivera’s engagement with Samantha Lang.

“The Rivera family will never welcome Samantha Lang into the family. As for whether to acknowledge Samantha Lang as the daughter of the Lang family, that is for you to decide.”

A trace of anger appeared on Mrs. Lang’s face.

“Is the reason you’re acting like this because of Isabella Thompson? Did she say anything?

“She must have said or done something. She was jealous of Sammy. She must have come back to take revenge on Sammy.

“Didn’t you hear Sammy say that she already has a child? Don’t tell me that the Rivera family has taken a fancy to such a girl?”

The Rivera couple looked at Mrs. Lang in shock.

After a short pause, they took a deep breath and continued, “Rowena, we haven’t even seen that child.

“I really didn’t expect you to say that about your own child to stand up for someone else’s. She’s your flesh and blood.

“It’s fine if you don’t accept her, but how can you misunderstand her like this?”

Madame Rivera shook her head and said, “Forget it. We’re not in the position to say anymore. You guys should take care of this yourselves.”

With that, she walked out of the door.

At the door, Mr. Rivera turned around and looked at the couple.

“Ethan, Rowena, our families have maintained a close relationship for years. Let me give you some advice: your adoptive daughter is definitely not innocent.

If the video wasn’t exposed, you probably wouldn’t have been able to discover that the Thompson couple were such hideous people, right?

They swapped the two children back then. If you hadn’t found out five years ago that Samantha Lang isn’t your biological child, they would have brought this secret to their graves.

Samantha Lang has been in close contact with them for the past five years. Do you really believe that she has no second thoughts?

“I’m sure you understand what I’m saying. Don’t be blinded by love. In my opinion, your adopted daughter is quite similar to her biological parents to a certain extent.

“At this point, you should be more careful, lest you get hurt.”

After saying that, Mr. Rivera took a deep look at the hesitant couple before leaving.

Jason returned downstairs and saw his parents standing there in a daze. They were motionless, just like

statues.

He coughed lightly and called out, “Dad, Mom.”

It was then that they came back to their senses. They looked at their son. Mrs. Lang seemed confused, but Ethan ordered, “Jason, find her.”

It was obvious who Ethan was referring to.

Jason was silent for a moment. He was a little uncertain if he should do so because he thought of their attitude toward Isabella five years ago.

The father and son exchanged glances and saw in each other eyes the same emotions.

Jason rubbed his nose and said, “I’ll head off now.”

However, before Jason left, the driver walked in. The driver held his phone and said, “Mr. and Mrs. Lang, Young Master. You should take a look at the news online. It is related to the Young Lady.”

The Lang family fished out their phones in a hurry. They saw that it was the latest entertainment news. One of the headlines said, “Samantha Lang’s biological father is suspected of running over the real Young Lady.”

Another said, “Samantha Lang’s biological father’s attempt of murdering the real Young Lady for the sake of his own daughter.”

They had heard about Charles Thompson’s hospitalization a few days ago, but they were not expecting the news to blow up this way.

These two headlines revealed a message: Isabella Thompson was not dead.

They were puzzled. How did the person behind the two headlines know that Isabella wasn’t dead and Charles wanted to kill her?

Mrs. Lang was not stupid. Her reaction was almost instantaneous. “It’s her. It’s Isabella Thompson. She’s here to take revenge on Sammy.”

Ethan and Jason naturally thought of this too. However, if everything was true… Then what was wrong with Isabella taking revenge?

It seemed that the father-son duo had a clearer perspective of the issue than Mrs. Lang.

Jason immediately thought of how they had treated Isabella five years ago when he saw his mother being habitually protective of Samantha.

“Mom, if Samantha Lang and her biological parents were birds of the same feather, and they did something unforgivable to Isabella Thompson, would you still be on Samantha’s side?”

Mrs. Lang thought about it and subconsciously said, “How is that possible? Sammy is not that kind of person.”

She was extremely certain.

“Mom, if Isabella Thompson isn’t dead, are you willing to acknowledge her?”

Jason asked again.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Mrs. Lang’s face. “Of course I do. She’s my daughter. Why wouldn’t I?”

Jason fell silent.

Mrs. Lang continued, “Jason, bring her back when you find her. We’re already aware of the suffering she had experienced. We will make it up to her.

“As long as she reconciles with Sammy and gets along well with her, all the misunderstandings will be solved.”

Jason and Ethan looked at each other. Jason said, “Mom, if everything is really a misunderstanding, then everything will surely be over soon.”

Mrs. Lang nodded.

“But what if it’s not a misunderstanding? What if Samantha Lang really did do something to Isabella, just like the Thompson family? Would you still forgive her?”

“Of course…”

Mrs. Lang found it hard to utter those words. It was as if she was choking.

Jason glanced at his mother and did not say anything else. He turned around and walked out of the house. After leaving the house, he was at a loss. Where was he going to find Isabella Thompson?

However, he was still the son of the Lang family after all. He quickly found some clues.

Draxton Lockwood and Isabella had been enjoying each other’s company these few days.

After a steamy session, Draxton hugged Isabella Thompson and asked, “Are you the one who posted the news online?”

Isabella Thompson snorted. “Yes, this is just the beginning.”

“If you leave it to me, I’ll settle them instantly.” Draxton also wanted to show his appeal.

Isabella said, “Don’t interfere. This is my business.”
