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.”

However, she could not help but feel jealous when she saw Isabella sitting with the two noblewomen.

Isabella should have been abandoned by the Thompson family and died five years ago!

She was not supposed to be this composed and dignified.

As a top celebrity, Samantha’s acting skills were decent. She bit her lower lip, and her eyes were slightly red. She shook her head and said, “Nothing. I just saw someone I know…”

Lawrence followed Samantha’s line of sight and saw Isabella and the two noblewomen. Lawrence thought for a moment and said, “She’s the woman who caused your biological father to be hospitalized.”

Samantha didn’t say anything, but she bit her lips even harder. Although she didn’t admit it directly, silence. meant consent.

Lawrence looked in the direction of Isabella and said, “Sam, do you need my help?”

Samantha’s eyes glistened. She glanced at Lawrence and said, “I’ll settle this myself. Thank you, Lawrence Dockor

Isabella was very sharp. When Lawrence and Samantha looked over, she had already noticed their gazes. She turned around abruptly. Her dark but dazzling eyes were so piercing that no one dared to look her in the

eye

Lawrence’s eyes flickered.

“What beautiful eyes,” he thought.

Isabella only glanced at them indifferently before looking away.

On the other hand, Lawrence kept staring at Isabella Thompson. He had never seen such soul-stirring eyes.

Chapter 50 anily’s Protection t

Samantha Lang saw Lawrence’s reaction and her heart skipped a beat. She had a very bad premonition. Almost on impulse, she walked towards Isabella.

Samantha’s approach interrupted the ongoing conversation and ruined the harmonious atmosphere.

The corners of Samantha’s lips curled up into a cold smile. She figured Isabella could marry into a wealthy family because she had given birth to her son. Thus, she would ruin her life.

With that thought in mind, Samantha’s expression changed instantly. Her eyes gradually turned red as she looked at Isabella and spoke, “Isabella Thompson!”

Isabella raised her eyebrows and looked at her coldly.

Samantha looked aggrieved. Then she apologized to the two women. “I’m sorry, Madams. It’s rude of me to disturb you.

“However, I need to clarify something with Isabella Thompson in person. Why did she want to kill her adoptive father? Although her adoptive father is only a commoner and an ordinary person, he is still her adoptive father after all. He raised her personally. Why is she so ruthless?”

After she asked this, she thought that she could see the surprised expressions of the two noble ladies. Or perhaps, they would look at Isabella Thompson with suspicion and disgust.

However…

Before Jeanne could say anything. Loraine rolled her eyes and asked, “Miss, who are you? Do evidence to prove whatever you just said?”

you have

Jeanne continued, “Loraine, I know the answer to that. She’s a celebrity. Her biological father said Bella hit him with a car and sent him to the hospital. However, there’s no concrete evidence to prove their one-sided stories. Who knows what the truth is?”

Moreover, Bella was originally the Lang family’s daughter. However, for the sake of her daughter’s life, the parents of this celebrity had swapped two newborn children.

“It’s bad enough that they swapped the babies. They even tried to ruin Bella’s future! If not for Bella’s intelligence, she would have fallen prey to their underhanded tactics.”

“So that’s what happened?” Loraine looked at Samantha with disgust.

Samantha was also a little confused.

Earlier on, she did hear Jeanne say that Isabella was her daughter-in-law. But why were the two women defending Isabella? It wasn’t like they were blood-related.

“Yes.” Jeanne continued, “There are also those hate comments against Bella online. They have evil intentions. I don’t even want to look at them for fear of dirtying my eyes. I brought Bella out today to accompany her. I didn’t expect to meet someone like her.”
