The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 157 The Assembly

Isabella and Draxton left the dungeon and returned to the living room. The moment they arrived at the living room, they saw Zolo sitting upright on the sofa eating an orange. When he saw them return, he immediately greeted them with a smile. "You're back? I just saw someone come in and leave in one piece. How kind of you"

Draxton and Isabella rolled their eyes at him. "When do you plan to leave?"

This guy had already completed the acupuncture procedure, his body was recuperated too, yet he still refused to leave and stuck around.

Zolo smiled. "Soon. I'll leave soon."

Draxton and Isabella nodded. "That's good."

Zolo looked at them like he was complaining. "Mr. Lockwood, Miraculous Doctor, you're all famous people, is me staying here really so much trouble? Why are you so eager to chase me away?" Draxton and Isabella could not be bothered with him.

Looking at their cruel back views, Zolo could not help but complain, "They are too cold, not hospitable at all." The next morning, the news that the Riker family people had been arrested for investigation was completely publicized. All of the Riker family's businesses had been investigated. The only people left were the Riker family's second wife and the three members of Gerald Riker's family. They were the only innocent people left in the Riker family.

Gerald arranged for his two children to leave the country.

Neither Ethan nor Esther felt it was safe to let Gerald stay. However, Gerald had to take care of Patriarch, who was hospitalized.

Silas walked in and reported, "patriarch, Mrs. Lockwood. Our people just sent word that we've searched the moat thoroughly and found no body of Jason Lang. I've confirmed that Jason Lang is missing." Isabella stopped drinking tea. "Missing?"

"Yes, missing. If he's dead, there would be traces, but it's too clean,"

Silas said.

Isabella said softly. "This is really interesting. A person who was knocked into the river by a car actually escaped and disappeared. If he's alive, why didn't he go home?"

Silas continued, "Also, Samantha Lang has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. She's already in prison."

Isabella's expression was calm. Everything was within her expectations.

Silas hesitated for a moment. "Mr. and Mrs. Lang, they're not in a good mood..."

Isabella said, "I got it. Tell them that Jason is still alive so they'll still have hope, that's all I can do."NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"Yes," Silas replied and turned to leave.

Draxton looked at Isabella and said, "Bella, do you want to go to the hospital again?"

Isabella shook his head. "There's no need."

Zolo stood at the staircase and tilted his head to listen to them.

He walked over and sat down opposite them. “I heard that Lawrence and Fernando are coming over later too." Draxton nodded briefly.

Zolo leaned against the back of the sofa and looked at Draxton and Isabella with interest in his blue eyes. "In the past, Mr. Lockwood always attended the assembly alone, while Miraculous Doctor has never appeared. This year is going to be different, I see."

Draxton smiled "Well, you single people can only envy us!"

Zolo's teasing expression froze for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he could not help but feel speechless

At this moment, Cooper walked in and said respectfully, "patriarch, Mr. Fernando and Mr. Lawrence have

arrived."

As Cooper spoke, two people had already appeared in the living room.

Before Draxton and Isabella could greet them, Lawrence rushed up excitedly. "Miraculous Doctor, Miraculous Doctor, I'm here I'm here to devote my life to you!"

He excitedly pounced in the direction of Isabella.

Draxton's figure flashed and reached out to grab Lawrence's collar. He looked at him with a dark expression.

Lawrence glared at Draxton angrily and mocked, "Mr. Lockwood, as far as I know, you were able to marry Miraculous Doctor only because of your son. Otherwise, Miraculous Doctor wouldn't have wanted you at all.

Be it romance, charm, or loyalty, you're all beneath me."

He puffed out his chest proudly, envious and jealous of Draxton.

The veins on Draxton's forehead twitched. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lawrence, if you continue to spout nonsense, don't blame me for throwing you out."

Lawrence was not afraid of him. He tilted her head and looked at Isabella.

The corners of Isabella's mouth twitched. She said coldly, "If you don't want to be thrown out, you'd better behave yourself. You're not allowed to provoke my man." Lawrence immediately looked like a puppy that had been wronged.

Fernando stood quietly at the side and watched this scene with a smile. No one knew better than him how much of a brag Draxton was, so he did not speak at all. However, whenever his gaze occasionally swept past Isabella, a deep light would flash.

After Draxton put Lawrence down, the few of them sat down. Zolo looked at Lawrence in admiration and said, "Earl Lawrence Docker, your courage is really!"

Zolo gave him a thumbs-up and whispered, "I don't even dare to provoke them."

Lawrence's violet eyes glanced at Zolo and snorted. "That's because I treat Miraculous Doctor differently. Miraculous Doctor treats me differently too."

Zolo's eyes widened gossipily.

Lawrence was about to spout nonsense when Isabella tilted her head and looked over with a faint smile. Lawrence immediately shut up.

Fernando smiled and greeted Draxton before saying, "The assembly is approaching. I'm here because I hope that the Miraculous Doctor can follow me to the Barclays family in advance to treat my sister, Winna."

He looked earnestly at Isabella

Isabella nodded readily. "Sure, no problem."

Fernando's gray eyes lit up. He stood up gratefully and bowed deeply. "Thank you so much, Miraculous Doctor."

Lawrence and Zolo looked at Fernando, Lawrence was in surprise and excitement. "Fernando, you actually want to trick Miraculous Doctor into going to your house?"

Fernando looked at his excited expression and explained with a smile, "It's to treat my sister."

He was always this calm and elegant, it was as if nothing could affect his emotions.

Lawrence was a little anxious. He looked at Draxton and said, "Are you sure you're not worried about letting the Miraculous Doctor go with him?”

Zolo secretly gasped as well. Everyone knew that the Barclays family and the Lockwood family were mortal enemies. Previously, they were still fighting to the death, yet they were now so friendly. Why? Draxton glanced at Lawrence and said, "She's the Miraculous Doctor. I won't interfere with anything she wants to do."

A glint flashed across Lawrence's eyes. He understood what Draxton meant.

He could not help but be impressed. He did not expect Draxton to actually be willing to completely support Isabella, given his identity. Despite the fact that the person Miraculous Doctor was going to save was his enemy's sister, he still completely supported her.

The Assembly

The Lockwood family and the Barclays family had been fighting for so many years. However, even when the battle was at its fiercest, they still adhered to an absolute rule-they would not harm each other's families.

Zolo chuckled. "I'm really curious. If those people in The Allied Nations knew about this, what would their expressions be like?"

He looked like he was enjoying the show.

"Let's talk about the assembly," Draxton said.
