The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Chieftain’s Woman

This woman looked more beautiful than the picture in the documents. A smile lit up Alan’s handsome face. “Miss Thompson, nice to meet you. My name is Alan Drennon. We’ve been looking for you for five years. Boy, we put in so much effort searching for you. Where have you been?”

Isabella was a bit surprised. She did not expect Alan to be so direct when they had just met.

After all, even Draxton did not ask her this question this whole time.

Isabella cast a glance at Draxton, wondering what his reaction was.

However, Draxton misunderstood Isabella’s intention. He thought there was something that she would rather not talk about. For this reason, Draxton said, “Let’s talk about this later. Right now, we got to hurry back.” Alan fell into silence immediately. He cast a quick look at Isabella and silently opened the car door. Martin shot a glance at Isabella and frowned slightly. “How did she pull it off? How did she make Mr. Lockwood stick up for her in such a short time?” he thought.

Hand in hand, Isabella and Ricky silently got into the car. Following them, Draxton climbed into the car.

Then, the car started.

Not far away, a black limousine slowly pulled up at the parking lot. The car window pulled down, revealing a middle–aged man.

The middle–aged man said, “That’s Mr. Lockwood’s car. It looks like the guy who just got into the car is Mr. Lockwood. Alan and Martin were with him too.

“What puzzled me was that I saw a woman and a child follow him into the car.”

This middle–aged man wore a suit, giving off a cunning businessman’s vibe.

Beside him sat a young man who did not notice the scene that the middle–aged man mentioned. “Dad, are you sure you were not seeing things?” the young man asked. “Why would Mr. Lockwood be with a woman? “Don’t you remember once a relative of Mr. Lockwood tried to use a woman to play up to Mr. Lockwood? Well, I guess that branch right now has all become beggars.”

Thinking of Draxton’s ruthlessness, the young man could not help but click his tongue.

The middle–aged man shook his head. “No, I’m sure I saw Mr. Lockwood sit in the same row with a woman and a child.”

At that point, the middle–aged man said to the chauffeur in front of him, “Gabriel, go back home. Skip the check–up for now.”

Hearing the order, Gabriel, too afraid to disagree, turned the car around and pulled out of the hospital. “Dad, are you sure you’re going to give up the check–up? Making an appointment isn’t easy. We were put on the waiting list for a week!”

The young man, with dyed blond hair, was not bad–looking. But, at that moment, he looked at the middle–aged man in disapproval.

The middle–aged man shot a sharp glance at the young man. “That doesn’t matter right now! I got to discover that woman’s true identity before anyone else!

“If that woman and Mr. Lockwood are in a relationship as I expect, then we could use that woman. Don’t you understand how important that is?”

Although this young man often goofed around, he was not a complete idiot. His eyes lit up. “Dad, are you talking about the corp party in two months?”

The Lockwood Group was a huge corporation that consisted of countless companies.

The middle–aged man and the young man belonged to one of those companies.

All these companies wanted to get near the head office.

Everyone wanted to be close to the core of power.

Like everyone else, this middle–aged man and his son wanted to hobnob with the chieftain, but they were in no position to do that.

However, if Mr Lockwood was in a relationship with a woman, then through sucking up to this woman, they might catch the attention of the chieftain.

Since ancient times, pillow talk has been a powerful tool.

The young man got excited too He said, “Dad, we have to dig up what we can on this woman and do it secretly. We can’t let others know about this.”

The middle–aged man shot a glance at his son. “You’re not too stupid after all.”

Draxton had no idea that Isabella had been in someone’s crosshairs

Inside the car, Alan was driving, and Martin was sitting in the passenger seat.

Isabella, Ricky, and Draxton were sitting in the backseat

“Great, come to my place first. I’ll have someone pick it up for you later.”
