The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Family’s Protection 2

After hanging up the phone, Jeanne Lockwood went to read the news online. When she saw the slandering news of Isabella Thompson, her face darkened in anger.

As soon as Olivia Lockwood entered, he saw her mother’s grim expression. She immediately shrank her neck. Although her mother was usually elegant, she was scary when angry, and even her father didn’t dare to provoke her

Olivia could not pluck up the courage to ask her what happened. She tried to weaken her presence and tiptoed upstairs.

Halfway through, she heard her mother mutter to herself, “Draxton said that Bella is timid. She might be depressed and afraid now. No, let’s put venting our anger aside. I have to comfort her now!”

With that, she took out her phone and called Isabella.

Isabella didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she received Jeanne’s call. At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel warm inside.

From what Jeanne said, it seemed she already knew about the video of Mr. Thompson and the comments and criticisms.

The power of cyberbullying is not to be trifled with. Those with weak minds may not be able to withstand it. Isabella did not want to let Jeanne down. She agreed to Jeanne’s invitation to go shopping together.

Jeanne hung up the phone and muttered, “Bella’s voice is hoarse. She must have cried.”

After saying that, she turned around and found her daughter standing behind her. The two of them were face to face. Jeanne was shocked, and Olivia rubbed her nose guiltily.

“You scared me!”

Jeanne whacked her daughter. Olivia chuckled and held Jeanne’s arm. “Mother, were you calling Sister-in-law just now? What happened? Who dares to bully Sister-in-law?”

Jeanne snorted and said, “Don’t you usually surf the internet? Didn’t you read the news today?”

Olivia took out her phone. After reading it, she silently muttered a prayer for the person who framed her sister-in-law.

“Seriously, someone actually dared to frame Sister-in-law. My Sister-in-law is so timid. How could she have hit someone with her car?”

Jeanne echoed, “That’s right. Bella isn’t that kind of person. She’s gentle and quiet.”

Philip Lockwood, who had just entered the house, was speechless.

A series of question marks appeared in his mind. He looked at his wife and daughter. He could not understand how they could tell that the girl was timid. That girl was bold. There was probably nothing she did not dare to do…

His eyes were filled with suspicion. Jeanne said, “Philip, have you seen the news online? It’s really too much. Bella’s adoptive father said she hit him with a car and even sent him to the hospital. There’s a lot of criticism surrounding Bella online. There’s also that female celebrity whose nickname is Lang. She has been guiding public opinion on the Internet to target Bella. She’s timid. How can she withstand it?”

“Yes, sister-in-law is so timid and cowardly, she’s probably frightened.”

“Cowardly? Are you guys… thinking too much?” Jeanne looked at his wife and daughter and asked carefully. Jeanne and Olivia stopped talking and looked at him silently with their beautiful eyes.

Philip coughed lightly and immediately said, “You’re right. Bella must be frightened, so… What do you suggest we do?”

Jeanne and Olivia’s expressions softened. Jeanne said, “I’m going out. I’m going shopping to relax.”

“Til go too, Olivia said.

Philip nodded. “Go ahead. Spend some time with that timid girl.”

He emphasized the word “timid.”

After watching the mother and daughter leave, a trace of confusion flashed across Philip’s eyes. Could it be that he had misunderstood that girl? Was that girl actually very timid?

Isabella drove to the place where she and Jeanne were supposed to meet.

“Sister-in-law!” Olivia got out of the car and waved at her.

Isabella smiled and walked over.

Olivia held Isabella’s hand and looked at her as if she was an idol. She chattered, “Sister-in-law, look at my skin. Isn’t it especially tender?”

She moved her face closer as she walked.

Isabella reached out and pinched it. She said seriously, “Yes, will it burst if I pinch hard enough?”

“Haha…” Olivia took that as a compliment.

Jeanne got out of the car and glared at her daughter. She looked at Isabella empathetically and stepped forward to hold her arm. “Bella, I’ve seen the comments online. Don’t take them to heart. No matter what happens, you still have us. Let’s go shopping. After we’re done, you don’t have to return to the estate. I heard that Draxtoni isn’t around either. You can sleep with us tonight.”

“Sister-in-law, you can sleep with me.”

Olivia was looking forward to that.

Isabella pursed her lips and smiled. “Alright, I’ll sleep with Olivia tonight. Grandpa and grandma will take Ricky with them anyway.”

They went to a mall. As soon as they entered, they met Jeanne’s acquaintance.

“Jeanne, what a coincidence!”

A graceful lady with exquisite makeup walked over. She had maintained herself well, but when she smiled and walked over, she could not help but exclaim when she saw Jeanne’s current appearance.

“Wow, Jeanne!”

She looked at Jeanne in surprise, her eyes wide open.

Jeanne was not surprised at all. She smiled at the lady’s reaction.

The lady covered her chest, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly. “Jeanne, you’re such a meanie. I haven’t seen you for a few days, but you’ve become younger? How is your skin that clear and healthy? You… Aren’t you going to share your secrets with me?”

She looked hurt.

Jeanne chuckled and said, “Alright, Loraine, let’s find a place to sit down and talk.”

Only then did the noblewoman give her a look that said, “At least you know what’s good for you.” Her gaze lingered on Jeanne’s face, her eyes filled with envy. Then, she turned and saw Isabella.

Her eyes lit up. “Oh, what a beautiful young lady. Jeanne, where did you kidnap this young lady from?” Jeanne hid Isabella behind her back and glared at the lady warily. She said angrily, “Loraine, don’t have any ideas about Bella. She’s Draxton’s wife!”

The noblewoman’s eyes widened. “Draxton’s wife?”

Jeanne smiled and nodded, looking very pleased with herself.

The lady was heartbroken. “I thought I could introduce her to Connor. Guess not now…”

Jeanne glared at her angrily and said to Isabella, “Bella, this is your godmother, Mrs. Sanders. She is the wife of the Sanders family chieftain, Austin Sanders.”

The Sanders family. Austin Sanders. Both names represented the pinnacle of Dawton City.

The four great families were the Lockwood family, the Sanders family, the Hart family, and the Riker family.

Loraine Smith and Jeanne Lockwood were best friends, and their relationship had always been good. After they had children, they became godmothers to each other’s children. Hence, the Sanders family and the Lockwood family had always maintained a close relationship.

They found a cafe and settled down. Mrs. Sanders asked impatiently, “Jeanne, quickly tell me why your skin has been revitalized. It’s as if you’ve suddenly become 10 years younger! Oh my god, I’m so jealous!”

Mrs. Sanders looked at Jeanne eagerly, who gave her a smile. “You’ll have to ask Bella,” she answered slowly.

Mrs Sanders’ eyes lit up as she looked at Isabella.

Isabella smiled shyly and said, “Godmother, I’m a traditional medicine practitioner. If you want, I’ll give you a few bottles later. You can give them to others too.”

Mrs Sanders grabbed Isabella’s hand. “Don’t forget about this, child. When I stood with your mother, we used to look like sisters. I can’t take it now that she’s younger and prettier than me.”

Isabella couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed Mrs. Sanders’ personality was livelier.

“Godmother, sister-in-law is definitely a miraculous doctor. Her pills are amazing. Did you only look at my mother? Don’t you think I’ve become prettier too?”

Olivia leaned over and showed off her face.

Loraine pinched her cheeks, her eyes glowing with desire.

“I must give this pill to Connor too. Maybe he can’t find a wife because he’s too uncouth. I’ll give it to him later. He’ll definitely bring me a daughter-in-law that way!”

She looked at Isabella bitterly and said, “Jeanne, how can Bella stand Draxton’s uptight personality? She looks so reserved and shy.”
