THE BILLIONAIRE'S KICK ASS WIFE - season 1 Episode 47

Meeting Parents At The Ancestral Residence

Regardless of how Samantha Lang and the Lang family were doing, Isabella Thompson was living life comfortably.

If she had nothing to do during the day, she would mess with the Thompson family online.

At night, she messed around with Draxton Lockwood. The two of them were extremely compatible and enjoyed their moments together.

During this process, the two of them quickly established a strong relationship. There was no longer any estrangement between the two of them. It was as if they were a normal couple.

Finally, Draxton could not help but bring Isabella and Ricky back to the Lockwood family.

He brought them back all of a sudden.

He did not inform anyone in advance.

Cooper did not expect the three of them to leave the Northenville Manor and return to the main residence, so he did not inform anyone there.

Madame Emma Lockwood was still complaining in the Whatsapp group. “That brat, Draxton. When will he bring my granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson back? Didn’t they already register their marriage?”

Cooper comforted her. “Madame Lockwood, don’t be anxious. The chieftain said that Mrs. Lockwood is timid. She’s probably shy. However, the chieftain should bring Madam back to the old residence in a few days.” “Cooper, you have to tell her that I like young and beautiful girls the most. Tell her not to be shy and to come back quickly.”

These wear the voice messages Madame Emma Lockwood sent.

Cooper agreed. Then, he looked melancholic. The chieftain probably forgot to bring his wife back to the ancestral home. He knew that the chieftain had been enjoying his days with his wife. His mind was filled with thoughts about how to spend the night with his wife. He completely forgot about returning to the ancestral home. Cooper was even the one who guided Ricky to have dinner yesterday night.

It seemed the two were engrossed with each other and there was no going back.

The ancestral manor of the Lockwood family was a simple but classical residence.

Such a mansion was very rare now.

Around the mansion, there were patrol robots equipped with guns.

Draxton said, “This is the Lockwood family’s ancestral residence. This residence has been passed down for hundreds of years. It has been renovated several times during this period. Grandpa and grandma like to live here. Mom, Dad, and Uncle don’t usually live here. They each have their own residence.

“However, today is the 15th. On the 1st and 15th of every month, everyone has to put down what they’re doing and return to the ancestral residence to reunite no matter what. We have always done this.”

“Is our arrival here too abrupt?” Isabella asked.

Draxton said, “Of course not. They’ve been waiting for you. When they see you, they’ll be pleasantly surprised.”

Isabella pursed her lips and smiled. She was not worried that the Lockwood family would not like her. Even if they did, she did not care. She only had to keep her man. When the time came, she could stay

or leave.

All in all, Isabella would not let herself suffer a loss.

Silas Yanter was driving in front while Draxton’s family of three sat in the back. Seeing that Isabella seemed a little nervous, Draxton took out his phone and pulled her into his family’s group chat.

Someone was talking in the Lockwood family’s group chat.

Olivia Lockwood sent a message while tagging Cooper. [My brother is getting more and more unreasonable. It’s the 15th today. He doesn’t even bring sister-in-law back to the ancestral home!]

Kevin Lockwood replied soon after, tagging Cooper. [Cousin-in-law is too timid. It must be because Eldest Cousin is too fierce, so she must have misunderstood. Maybe she thinks everyone in the family is like that Cooper, you have to put in a good word for us.]

Roger Lockwood agreed. [That’s right. I think Eldest Cousin is scary. Maybe he scared her.]

Olivia sent a message. [It’s not easy for him to find a wife. And he even intimidates his wife. I’m worried for him.]

Yale Lockwood had something to say about that. [I heard that they’ve already registered their marriage.]

Olivia added, [I heard that it was Draxton Lockwood who escorted her to the registry. Poor sister-in-law. She must be t the mercy of my brother every day!]

Roger agreed. [Yeah, that’s pitiful.]

Yale thought the same. [Indeed.]

Samuel Lockwood saw eye to eye with him [I know, right?]

Just as the juniors were discussing, Patriarch Lockwood who has a profile picture of a rose sent a message. [This brat is indeed outrageous. Tonight, I’ll make my way to Northernville Manor to see my

granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson. In the future, I’ll be in charge. Let’s see if he still dares to bully

others!]

Everyone was in unison. [Hurray for grandpa!]

Draxton looked at the chat history in the group, and his lips twitched imperceptibly. Then, his lips curled into a slightly nasty smile.

He added Isabella to the group.

Of course, Isabella couldn’t see what the group had discussed about earlier.

She saw that she had entered a group called “The Happy Family.”

The group was very quiet. The people inside should be members of the Lockwood family.

Isabella was silent for a moment. She did not say anything because the group was also inactive.

But in fact, the members of the Lockwood family were wonderstruck.

“Is ‘Bella Babe’ her? Oh my god! Eldest Cousin added Cousin-in-law into the group!”

Kevin exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone in the Lockwood family was about to put down their phones, but then quickly recovered from the shock.

“Quick, greet her!” Olivia said, “Don’t scare her!”

Kevin was the first to type. [Welcome, Isabella!] He even added a cute puppy emoji at the back.

Yale followed suit. [Welcome!]

Roger added, [Welcome!]

Bernard Lockwood of the twins joined in. [Welcome!]

The other twin Shepard Lockwood did not want to miss out as well. [Welcome!]

Olivia sent a message as well. [Welcome, sister-in-law. I’m your sister!]

Isabella was kind of speechless.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly. The Lockwood family seemed to be more enthusiastic than she had expected.

Yale sent a message to mock Olivia. [Olivia Lockwood, you’re too shameless. You’re talking as if we aren’t her siblings as well!]

To which Oliva replied, [I was born to the same parents and you weren’t. How can we be the same? Sister-in-law, come and dote on me. Ignore them!] And she tagged Isabella too.

Isabella did not know what to say.

“My granddaughter-in-law entered the group?” Patriarch Lockwood was stunned. Then, he sent a dancing little yellow duck emoji.

The little yellow duck was cute. Isabella was about to type when a big red packet popped out.

Patriarch Lockwood had sent a red packet and tagged her. [Granddaughter-in-law, come and collect the exclusive red packet from grandpa.]

They were so enthusiastic that Isabella didn’t even have time to say anything. She glanced at the man beside her. Draxton was looking at her with a smile. Isabella’s ears turned red. Then, he smiled and sent a message to the group. Bella Babe sent a message. [Hello everyone, I’m Isabella Thompson.]

Then, she accepted the red packet.

Bernard sent a message. [Hello, Isabella!]

Shepard did the same. [Hello, Isabella!]

Olivia replied instantly. [Hello, Isabella!]

Yale gave a reply soon after. [Hello, Isabella!]

Roger greeted her as well.

And the list goes on…

However, the most eye-catching one was Patriarch Lockwood’s. [Hello, granddaughter-in-law!]

Bella Babe sent a message. [Hello, grandpa!]

Patriarch Lockwood replied, [Hi!]

Then Isabella sent a red packet to the group.

And another…

She had sent many to the group.

“Patriarch Lockwood snatched your red packet.”

“Bernard Lockwood snatched your red packet.”

Then, a series of notifications popped up.

Olivia was unhappy. [You guys are too much. I didn’t even get a red packet. Can’t you leave one for me?]

Yale sent a proud-faced emoji in response.

Olivia sent numerous emojis to express her exasperation.

Patriarch Lockwood was the one who snatched the most. He posted a big yellow emoji baring its teeth.

[Sister-in-law, I want a red packet!] Olivia also sent an emoji of a cute girl who seemed to look at Isabella expectantly.

Isabella could not help but laugh. She casually sent out a red packet.

“Dad, Mom, Uncle, and Aunt are probably busy and unaware. Grandma is probably taking advantage of the chaos to eat snacks secretly and didn’t take notice.”

Draxton didn’t need to think to know what was going on at home.

Isabella counted the gifts she had brought. Fortunately, she had bought enough for everyone.

She tilted her head to look at the quiet Ricky and rubbed his little head. “Ricky, we’ll be able to see Dad’s family soon. Are you happy?”

Ricky wasn’t happy, nor was he unhappy. He glanced at his mother’s phone. The people in the group seemed to welcome his mother. He nodded. “Yes, if Mom is happy, Ricky is happy too.”

Isabella was instantly moved beyond words. What a heartwarming baby.

Draxton said, “Great-grandpa, great-grandma, as well as grandpa and grandma… They are all looking forward to seeing you and Mom.”

Ricky nodded and said, “Ricky will also be obedient.”

Draxton reached out and rubbed his curly hair.

He looked at Isabella and said, “You taught him well.”

Isabella thought, “That’s because you haven’t seen how naughty Betty is. I hope you can still say that when the time comes.”

Isabella smirked devilishly.

Her expression was exactly the same as Betty’s evil smile.

Draxton felt an inexplicable numbness on his back, but he could not explain why.

The car drove towards the entrance of the old residence. When the patrolling robots realized that it was an unauthorized car, they let it pass.

The house was enormous. Silas parked the car in the parking area and realized that there were many cars parked there. They must belong to family members who had come from all over.

“Let’s not rush. I’ll show you around so that you can familiarize yourself with the surroundings,” Draxton said. He led Isabella Thompson and Ricky around.

Ricky was curious about everything in the old residence until they discovered an animal park.

“There’s a lion!” Ricky’s interest was piqued. He pointed at the white lion on the other side of the iron fence with sparkling eyes.

“Great-grandpa likes lions, so he raised one at home. Its name is Furry. Great-grandpa has raised it since he was young. It has a good temper and doesn’t usually bite. However, it’s still a wild beast. We have to be careful.”

With that, Draxton led Ricky to see the lion.

Isabella looked at their silhouettes and smiled. She was not interested in lions, so she strolled around. There was a garden in the house and a rockery with a swing beside it.

Isabella planned to sit by the swing for a while.

She sat down on the swing and sighed inwardly. Then she marveled at how extraordinary the residence looked. It was classic but imposing and gave off a dignified feeling. This was the foundation that had been settled over time, as well as the dignity brought about by the prosperity of the family.

The Lockwood Group was indeed worthy of its reputation.

Suddenly, she heard an unusual voice.

Isabella tilted her head and listened carefully. She heard the voice coming from behind the rockery.

A man’s exasperated voice growled, “Stealing food, you’re stealing food again! How many times has this been? I let you off last time, but now you’re stealing food again!”

“Boohoo… I’m hungry…”

A sobbing old woman’s voice sounded.

“Hungry? Who would believe that?” the man said angrily.

“I’m really hungry…”

Isabella raised her eyebrows in surprise. As expected of a wealthy family. There were always scandals that these families had to hide from the public. How could such a big family let an elderly woman starve?

Surely the Lockwood family could afford to feed an old woman?

Isabella did not want to meddle in other people’s business, but at this moment, a voice sounded again. It was so stern that it was almost cold. “Behave yourself. Hand over the thing in your hand. Don’t make me take it away.”

“No, I don’t want to. This is for my daughter-in-law.”

The old woman’s voice trembled with fear as she tried her best to hide the item behind her.

The man sneered. “Don’t use your daughter-in-law to pressure me…”

Then, the man went to grab it. Madame Emma Lockwood cried miserably.

Isabella could not take it anymore. She jumped off the swing and walked around the rockery. As expected, she saw the gray-haired Madame Emma Lockwood being forced to retreat from a tall and burly man. Madame Emma Lockwood’s hands were behind her back. She was hiding something. At this moment, Madame Emma Lockwood’s expression was filled with fear and grievance. Her teary eyes were pitiful.

On the other hand, that man seemed to have some status in this family.

Isabella stood behind the two with a serious expression.

Madame Emma Lockwood was facing Isabella Thompson, while the man’s back was facing Isabella. Hence, he did not notice her.

Madame Emma Lockwood, on the other hand, saw Isabella. Isabella could not describe how weird Madame Emma Lockwood’s expression seemed. She looked both excitedly and expectant at the same time, which did not fit the current scenario.

But before Isabella could think, Madame Emma Lockwood shouted at her, “Save me, save me!”

The man was speechless.

He glared at Madame Emma Lockwood with a dark expression and said angrily, “For a mouthful of food, you even called for help. How outrageous!”

Madame Emma Lockwood looked at Isabella hopefully.

The man also realized that there was someone behind him, but he did not turn around. He seemed to be confident that no one would dare to confront him.

He sneered. “Stop shouting. No one will dare save you!”

Taking a deep breath, Isabella finally spoke under Madame Emma Lockwood’s hopeful gaze.

“Uncle, do you have to do this? All for some food?”

Madame Emma Lockwood’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. Isabella took the words out of her mouth.

She looked at Isabella with shining eyes.

Isabella felt a little strange.

At this moment, the man paused. He seemed to find the voice familiar. He was slightly surprised and turned around.

In an instant, their eyes met. Isabella and the man were both astonished.

This man had a pair of midnight blue eyes. His facial features were about half as similar to Draxton’s.

Then a realization hit Isabella.

Perhaps she had offended a big shot this time by acting nosily.

This person was either Draxton’s father or his second or third uncle.

She did not expect Draxton’s elders to bully an old woman!

She looked at Madame Emma Lockwood again. She was wearing gray pants and a sweater. Her white hair was combed neatly, and she looked very gentle and calm.

Isabella felt that Madame Emma Lockwood did not look like a servant. Instead, she looked like…

“Are you Isabella Thompson?” The man spoke, breaking the strange silence.

His midnight blue eyes sized up Isabella.
