Chapter 473
Isaac went to Mr. Lockwood's residence without a pause.
Following the stone path, Isaac arrived at the resting area of the golf course.
A few bodyguards in black suits stood at the side. Vernon stood upright like a javelin not far away. He stood still with his back facing him as he stared at the situation on the golf course. Isaac followed Vernon's back and glanced at the court. Henderson was playing basketball with someone inside.
"Mr. Vernon Lockwood," Isaac called out.
Vernon turned around. His dark eyes were no longer as indifferent as usual. This time, he stared at Isaac a few more times. Isaac lowered his eyes slightly and allowed
Vernon to size him up. There was no emotion on his slightly rough face.
"My adoptive father is playing basketball. It might take a while. Wait for a while," Vernon said.
He pointed to a table and chair at the side and added, "Sit down." Isaac walked over and sat down.
Isaac thought that Vernon would ask about Yvette, but to his surprise, Vernon did not mention anything about her.
As usual, he had a cold expression on his face and his mind was wandering as if he did not care about anything.
Both of them had cold personalities, so they fell into silence. Laughter could be heard in the stadium from time to time. After about twenty minutes, Henderson and two men walked over.
Vernon and Isaac both stood up.
Vernon did not say anything.
"Mr. Lockwood,' Isaac called out.
Henderson was in his fifties and had some white hair at his temples. Still, his figure was very good owing to years of exercising. One could see the beautiful muscles under his clothes.
In a tracksuit, he walked up to Isaac with a smile. Due to the height difference, he raised his head slightly to look at Isaac.
Isaac lowered his head slightly and dropped his eyes to avoid his gaze.
'Isaac!' Henderson emphasized his name and said, "I've seen you before. I remember that you're that tough guy who laughs at death when fighting!"
Isaac said, "Mr. Lockwood, you flatter me. I'm just doing my part."
Henderson froze for a while before he suddenly reached out and patted Isaac's shoulder heavily. "Well said!"
He turned around with a smile and looked at the other two. "Jasper, Harlow, did you hear that? My subordinate is promising!"
"People who don't care about their lives in a fight are usually either crazy or determined to get something," Jasper said with a smile. He looked at Isaac with interest. Harlow also smiled and praised him. He said in broken Lucsian, "I like crazy guys!" Isaac was expressionless.
Henderson extended an index finger and waved it repeatedly. 'No, no, no. He's not a crazy guy!"
After saying that, he looked at Isaac and said, "Isaac, I heard that you know the lady from the Barker family?"
Isaac's pupils constricted as he tried his best to suppress his nervous body reactions.
He nodded nonchalantly and said, "Yes, I do." Henderson stared at him and said, "Just know her? I heard that there's something between you and that woman!”
Isaac raised his eyes and looked straight at Henderson. He said uneasily, "Mr. Lockwood, you know about such a trifle?"
'Trifle? Haha, yes, it's no big deal. Don't be nervous. Tell me, how's your relationship?' Henderson asked with a smile, then looked straight into Isaac's eyes.
Isaac did not avoid his gaze. A trace of smugness and disdain flickered in his eyes.
"That woman is quite interesting. I saved her life in the past, and she fell in love with me.
"I think it's not a bad idea to play with that kind of young lady. I just put her on the bench, but...
"I'm afraid it's over now. The Barker family already knows about her relationship with me. I guess we won't have anything to do with each other."
Isaac's words revealed a trace of regret and slight boredom.
Henderson stared at him for a while and smiled. "Young man..."
He sighed. Isaac looked at him in confusion. Henderson patted his shoulder again and said, Young man, she's the daughter from the Barker family. Since she likes you, how can you not be serious?" Isaac looked puzzled.
Henderson said, "It's good that the Barker family knows about this. It's time to test your relationship!"
"Relationship?' Isaac's eyes revealed a trace of contempt. 'Mr. Lockwood, to be honest, I'm not interested in that kind of young lady..." "No! Henderson said, "You have feelings for her. Even if you don't, you have to show your feelings. Do you understand what I mean? "Mr. Lockwood, you mean..."
Isaac was deep in thought.
Henderson said, "Miss Barker likes you, and you like her too. The two of you are in love, and the Barker family will definitely stop Yvette from seeing you. At that time... there will be a good show to watch!" Henderson walked to the chair at the side and sat down. He said to Jasper and
Harlow, 'What do you think a girl in love will do for love? Especially under the obstruction of the Barker family, how rebellious will that girl be?""
"I heard that Miss Barker is gentle and quiet. She's well-behaved. The more wellbehaved a girl looks, the more rebellious she can be." Jasper said with a smile.
Harlow looked at Isaac with a smile and gave him a thumbs up. "Good for you!"
Henderson then said to Isaac, 'I heard that you're in charge of the Sapphire Club?"
Isaac said, "Yes, Mr. Lockwood."
"That's great. From now on, you'll be the boss of the Sapphire Club. This identity will make it easier for you to mobilize all of Vernon's people. You don't have to go through him anymore. Vernon, do you have any objections?"
Henderson looked at Vernon.
Vernon was still as cold as ever. "It's your call.'
Henderson nodded in satisfaction and said to Isaac, "Did you hear that? Work hard. You have a great future."
"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Lockwood.' Isaac's expression remained calm, but his eyes lit up.
The smile on Henderson's face deepened as he said, "Treat Miss Barker well. It would be best if she falls head over heels in love with you. Do you understand what I mean?”
Isaac raised his voice slightly and said seriously, Mr. Lockwood, I understand. I'll think of a way to meet her." Henderson nodded. "Okay! Go do your work. Vernon, you and Isaac go to Sapphire Club." Vernon nodded and left with Isaac.
Isaac turned around and walked out. He lowered his head and a frown swept across his forehead.
Vernon walked to his side expressionlessly and said calmly, "Do you understand what
Mr. Lockwood means? He wants you to control Yvette. At the critical moment, we can make good use of her.
"Well, you have to be careful. The Lockwoods are very protective of their family. If Draxton finds out that you have ulterior motives, he will definitely not let you off."
Isaac did a double-take and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I'll be careful." Vernon glanced at him and didn't say anything else.
The two of them went to Sapphire Club for the handover procedure. Vernon sat down in the private room, his eyes flickering across Isaac, Harry on the side, and the others. Isaac said, "Harry, go and make coffee for Mr. Vernon Lockwood.'
"No need," Vernon said. He then looked at Harry and said, "Harry, you've always been by Isaac's side. Do you know about the relationship between Miss Barker and Isaac?"
Harry was stunned for a moment and said, "I know, Mr. Vernon Lockwood. You know about this too? Heh, that Miss Barker is crazy about Isaac, but he is just playing with her. That kind of lady is boring and dull. Isaac has long wanted to dump her, but she..."
"Alright, cut the crap," Isaac said with a cold expression.
Harry held his tongue obediently.
Vernon was silent for two seconds before he stood up and walked out with a straight look.
"Take care, Mr. Vernon Lockwood." Harry said obsequiously.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Isaac and Harry watched Vernon leave, but what escaped their eyes was that on
Vernon's cold face, the corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile.
Only Isaac and Harry were left in the private room. Harry looked at Isaac with a bitter expression and said, "Isaac, I didn't mean to say that Miss Barker is dull and boring. Please don't get back at me." Isaac glanced at him and his expression turned grim.
The expression on Harry's face could no longer be maintained, and he said solemnly,
"Isaac, what's wrong? Mr. Lockwood is looking for you... Is it really because of Miss Barker?"
Isaac didn't say anything, and his face took on a ghastly expression.
Harry's expression grew solemn.
After a while, Isaac said in a hoarse voice, "Harry, what do you think is the chance of me killing Henderson?"
