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

Chapter 55 Stalk

When Isabella Thompson heard Draxton Lockwood say that, she blinked his eyes in surprise. What did Draxton mean by he couldn't wait for someone to snatch the chieftain position from him? At first, she thought Draxton was the only normal person in the Lockwood family, but now it seemed that she was overthinking things.

Then she chuckled for seemingly no reason.

Draxton was a little displeased when he saw her laugh. "Are you that happy that I'm leaving?"

Isabella saw him looking at her accusingly and couldn't help but stand on her tiptoes. She reached out and rubbed the top of his head. "Don't be angry. I just think you're really cute."

"Cute?" Draxton narrowed his eyes dangerously. That praise did not make him happy at all.

Isabella tilted her head and looked at him with her clear, dark eyes.

"No, I mean that you're mighty and powerful!" she quickly corrected herself. Her small face was stern, and her bright eyes flickered with a hint of flattery.

A trace of a smile flashed across Draxton's eyes, but he still maintained a poker face. He carried her up and walked upstairs. "Alright, I'll let you experience what it means to be mighty and powerful!" Isabella looked at him pitifully. Her eyes were watery as she silently begged for mercy.

Draxton suddenly felt his blood boil.

Cooper watched as the two of them disappeared around the corner of the stairs. He sighed in relief. It was good to be young!

The two of them spent the entire morning together and Draxton set off in the afternoon.

When Isabella picked up Ricky from kindergarten, she saw Ricky surrounded by two cleaners. It was strange

to see.

One of the cleaners was holding Ricky's small school bag, and the other was holding a thermos flask. He was coaxing Ricky to take a sip of water.

Those who didn't know better would think that two bad guys were trying to kidnap a little child.

In fact, it was similar to kidnapping.

At this moment, the old janitor said, "Little Ricky, let's call Mom and Dad and tell them that you want to visit your new friend's house. You won't be going back today!"

Sir Graham Lockwood, who was holding Ricky's bag, coaxed Ricky tenderly.

Madame Emma Lockwood glared at the old man. "Nonsense. Ricky's too young. His parents will be worried if he stayed over at his friend's house!"

After reprimanding him, Madame Emma Lockwood turned to Ricky with a different attitude. Gently, she coaxed, "Ricky, little baby, tell Mom and Dad that you miss great-grandpa and great-grandma very much and that you want to go back to the ancestral home to visit them, so you won't be going home today. Tomorrow, great-grandpa and great-grandma will send you to school."

Ricky did not know how he should reply to this.

Ricky pursed his lips and revealed a helpless expression.

When he went to school today, he had a very strange feeling that a cleaner was spying on him. When he found them, they hid from him again.

Then once school was over, the two cleaners surrounded him.

Ricky looked at their eager expressions, and his little face was filled with helplessness.

Then suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his face brightened.

"Mommy!" he called out softly.

Isabella smiled gently and walked toward the trio.

Sir Graham Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood turned their heads stiffly. When they saw Isabella Thompson, an uncomfortable expression flashed across their faces. "Great-grandpa, great-grandma... Isabella was at a loss.

Sir Graham Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood suppressed their discomfort and puffed out their chests. "We're just here to see Ricky."

The old man's face was solemn.

"That's right. We're just here to take a look at Ricky It's not like we're here to abduct a child!" Madame Emma Lockwood added matter-of-factly. Isabella was hesitant to say anything

She looked at the two elders helplessly and said to Ricky, "Little Ricky, do you want to go home with great-grandpa and great-grandma?" Ricky blinked his big round eyes and looked at his mother reluctantly. He wanted to be with his mother, of

course

But then he remembered the expectant gazes of his grandparents, and how they accompanied him at the kindergarten for the whole day. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Mom, I'm going back to play with great-grandpa and great-grandma," he said with a mature expression. Sir Graham Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood could not believe their ears. Then the realization hit them and they jumped up with joy.

Isabella caressed Ricky's head and said, "Yes, that's good. Ricky, go back with great-grandpa and

great-grandma. Mommy believes that Ricky is the best. He will definitely be able to take good care of himself and great-grandpa and great-grandma."

"Okay. Ricky nodded obediently.

Madame Emma Lockwood was quick to object. "Bella, Ricky is only four years old. How can you ask him to take care of himself and us? Ricky needs our care. You're too harsh on the child!" Isabella just stayed silent.

After saying that, Madame Emma Lockwood caressed Ricky's cute little face and said to Isabella, "Bella, come with us too."

Isabella looked at the coquettish Madame Emma Lockwood and laughed. "Grandma, I'll pass. Third Uncle is coming to the Northernville Manor tomorrow. We need to discuss planting the medicinal herbs."

Sir Graham Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood's faces immediately darkened. "Hmph, that good-for-nothing!"

Their expressions changed instantly when they turned to Ricky. "Our Little Ricky is still the cutest!" they praised

Without another word, Madame Emma Lockwood picked Ricky up and said happily, "Let's go! Great-grandma will bring you home to eat delicious food and wear beautiful dresses."

The old man's eyes lit up. He followed along and even gave Isabella an "Okay" sign.

Isabella was speechless.

She watched as the two elders carried Ricky away.

Ricky lay on great-grandma's arm while his chin rested on her shoulder. He raised his hand and waved at Isabella when he happened to look in her direction.

Isabella gave him a smile and waved back.

The two elders quickly got into a car and a few bodyguards picked them up.

Only then could Isabella be at ease.

Then she got in her car and headed for Northernville Manor.

Isabella glanced at the rear mirror, and her lips curled into a cold grin.

While she spoke with Ricky and the two elders, she noticed someone spying on her.

And as expected, she could see a red Ferrari in her rear mirror parked behind her car.

The car had been parked there for quite some time.

Isabella had hacked and gotten some information about Samantha Lang not long ago, so she knew that the license plate of the red Ferrari belonged to her.

The corners of her lips curled up into an evil smile. It seemed that the lesson she had taught Samantha had not only not made her learn her lesson but had instead aroused her fighting spirit. Isabella snorted and drove away.

Samantha followed after Isabella. She was determined to find out where Isabella lived.

Hence, she stalked Isabella.

Just as she was about to tail Isabella, her phone rang.

Her expression changed slightly when she saw who the caller was.
