Chapter 438
Winna rubbed against Isabella's shoulder like a harmless kitten and complained,
"Bella, he's a bad person. He doesn't have any gentlemanly manners at all. He even stole my car just now!'
Isabella looked up and saw that there were indeed scratches on the door of Winna's car.
Isabella looked at Roger disapprovingly and said, 'You did it on purpose?”
Roger replied, "O-Of course not."
He was obviously feeling guilty.
Isabella's expression darkened. "Since you're so free, I'll get Draxton to arrange some work for you later."
Roger immediately looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
Winna's eyes curved into a smile and she happily rubbed against Isabella's arms again.
"Bella, you're the best. I like you so much!"
Isabella could not help but laugh as she stroked her hair and said, "Are you guys going to the old residence? I'm going back too. Get in the car."
Winna said, "Bella, I'll take your car."
Isabella could not help but laugh. She held her hand and got into the car.
There was a driver in Winna's car. He drove into the old residence himself when he saw Winna get into Isabella's car.
Isabella went back to the bedroom. Draxton was having a video conference. The people on the other side were Big Dipper's higher-ups, and the person in charge was Noah Lockwood. Isabella took a glance at him and left. She went downstairs to talk to Winna.
After a while, Draxton came down and asked, 'Bella, are you all right? Did you tell Bruce about the Black Crystal Potion?'*
Isabella answered, "Yeah, I asked him to draw a tube of my blood for testing.'
Draxton nodded.
He looked at Roger on the sofa. Roger was arguing with Winna. The two of them were like two childish kindergarteners fighting for the same apple.
Draxton's lips twitched to reveal a faint smile.
Isabella also saw their childish behavior. She raised her brow and found it rather interesting.
"Draxton, Roger is 21 years old this year, right?" Isabella asked. Draxton nodded.
Roger immediately ignored Winna and stared at Isabella in horror.
"Yes," Draxton replied. Then, he said to Roger, "Roger, are you in your sophomore or junior year this year?'
"I'll be a junior in two months," Roger gulped and said nervously.
"Yeah, it's still a little early. I'll let you stay for another half a year. In the second semester of your third year, go to Big Dipper for an internship." Roger immediately screamed, "Draxton, Bernard and Shepard are five years older than me. They didn't have to work at Big Dipper!" But they started their own business. Did you also start your own business? Or did you have other plans?
"I can award you a sum of money as long as you have a plan,' Draxton said calmly. Roger was speechless.
Wasn't it good just to be an heir to a rich family? Why must he start a business? Why must he work? It was not like he did not have the capital. However, he did not dare to say anything. Draxton continued, What has Yale been doing recently?"
Roger quickly betrayed his sister and said, "She has nothing to do. She's not doing anything. She's just coasting along. Draxton, you should rein her in.'
Draxton nodded. "All right, then go back and tell her to go to the Big Dipper's first branch next Monday. She can choose her own position as long as she thinks she can cope."
"What if she doesn't go?" Roger asked weakly.
Draxton said coldly, "Then I'll freeze all of her credit cards. Mr. Freddie and Aunt Mia won't be able to save her!"
"Hahaha! All right!" Roger gloated without any sympathy. Draxton looked at him meaningfully. You still have half a year."
Roger immediately stopped laughing and his expression instantly stiffened.
"Hehehe..." Winna covered her mouth and could not stop laughing. She looked like she was gloating.
Isabella had a smile on her face. She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"What are you laughing at?" Roger glared at Winna and turned around. "Draxton, shouldn't you arrange something for Olivia to do? You can't favor one over the other. It's unfair!" He had already betrayed his biological sister. Olivia could not escape.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Draxton said, 'Olivia has a boyfriend. She has to go on dates. It's not like she has nothing to do."
Roger was speechless.
Draxton looked disdainfully at the pitifully single Roger. He even seemed to see the other pitifully single individuals through Roger.
He pulled Isabella up and said, "Bella, go back and rest for a while.'
Roger looked at their backs in a daze and muttered, "Why did I come to the old residence today? Aren't I looking for trouble?"
Winna turned her head and looked at him with a smile.
Roger suddenly widened his eyes and looked at her fiercely. "It's all your fault. You were the one who kidnapped me. If not for you, why would I have come to the old residence?" Winna shrugged. 'You were the one who insisted on following us!"
Two days later, Isabella received a call from Bruce. Her blood test report was out.
Draxton and Isabella went to the laboratory together.
Bruce saw them and said, "Mrs. Lockwood, this is the report. Take a look for yourself."
He handed the report to Isabella.
Isabella read it carefully and said, "Sure enough, there's still an impact. These data are different from before."
Bruce pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said, "Mrs. Lockwood, why did you inject the Black Crystal Potion? From the looks of it, the fusion is very good." Isabella said, "I'm pregnant. I'm a little worried."
Bruce was stunned for a moment before saying, I see. Mrs. Lockwood, then let's draw another tube of your blood next month and test it again to see if there are any changes.' Isabella thought about it and nodded in agreement.
On the way back from the laboratory, Isabella stroked her stomach and said slowly, "I hope it won't have a bad impact on the child."
Draxton's expression did not change as he comforted, "Bella, relax. At this point, it's useless to worry. We have to believe that the child will be fine." Isabella sighed.
"Let's go to Maestria. I've already taken care of the family matters," Draxton said.
Isabella was stunned and nodded.
The next day, Isabella and Draxton flew to Maestria with Ricky and Betty.
When the Barker family received the news, they waited outside the airport in advance.
The person who came to pick them up was the butler of the Barker family, Alfred Kinsky.
Alfred was in his fifties, and Draxton was quite familiar with him. The two of them chatted for a while, and Alfred was not reserved.
Draxton said, 'Alfred's father worked in the Barker family all his life. Alfred was also born into the Barker family. He grew up with my mother and uncle."
Isabella suddenly understood. It seemed that Alfred was not just a butler to the Barker family.
Isabella smiled and greeted, "Hello, Alfred. My name is Isabella.'
Alfred quickly said respectfully, 'Ms. Isabella, don't stand on ceremony. Please get in the car."
Alfred opened the car door.
Isabella let the two children get into the car first. Alfred looked at Ricky and Betty and the smile on his face widened.
"They are so cute. Sir and Madame will definitely be very happy to see them.'
Draxton asked, "Why didn't Stanton come?" Draxton thought that Stanton would come to pick them up.
Stanton was Jeanne's younger brother and was very close to her.
An unnatural expression flashed across Alfred's face.
Draxton and Isabella were both very observant. They realized that something was wrong when they saw Alfred's expression.
Sure enough, the next moment, Alfred said, "Draxton, Isabella, s-something happened to him recently.'
Draxton's gaze darkened. "Alfred, there's no hurry. Let's drive. We can talk on the way.'
Alfred started the car and said, 'Speaking of which, he can only blame yourself for being too careless.
"A while ago, he attended a business meeting and drank a cup of spiked wine. He was schemed against.
"Last week, a woman came to our door with a report. She said that she was pregnant with his child. Megan has been furious these past two days and is asking for a divorce."
Isabella's expression became strange.
Draxton frowned. "Did Stanton really... with that woman?"
Alfred shook his head. "He was drunk and delirious, but he insisted that he didn't do anything to let her down. However, the pregnant woman insisted that the child belonged to him. He can't even explain the situation clearly now.'
Isabella said, "Since this was a setup, it's hard to say if the child is Stanton's. It's very simple. Just do a DNA test."
Alfred sighed. "That's true, but that woman has been missing for the past two days.
The Barker family has been looking for her for the past two days but to no avail.'
Isabella and Draxton looked at each other and saw a dark glint in each other's eyes. It seemed like there was something fishy going on.
