The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 32 Shouldn’t Have Offended Her

Draxton gave off a cool aura. Since he had decided to marry Isabella and acknowledge Ricky as his biological son, he had to keep them safe. He could not let them go through the slightest suffering.

The clan was very big and complicated. It was inevitable for people to forget their places on account of their contributions.

He did his utmost to soften his tone as he asked, “Is it because of Veronica?”

Isabella did not answer him. It was definitely because of Veronica Lockwood.

One Veronica Lockwood was nothing. She was afraid more “Veronica Lockwoods” would appear eventually. They might be even harder to handle than her.

She did not like attracting unnecessary troubles and did not want to make an enemy of the man, but it did not mean that she was a coward in any way.

She was not afraid to leave the man if she had to come to that.

Isabella lowered her eyes and avoided making eye contact with his frosty eyes.

Draxton could sense a cold distant attitude radiating from her.

If marrying the man meant she and Ricky were destined to be unhappy, she saw no reason to be with him.

Ricky interrupted the silence and said in a serious tone, “I don’t like that woman. I’m not going to school anymore.”

Isabella looked at Ricky. She knew Ricky was a decisive child. If he wanted something, he was always able to express himself clearly. He never settled for second best.

Draxton surprisingly did not get angry. Instead, he praised Ricky for his action and said, “If you don’t like the woman, you don’t ever have to see her again. However, you still have to attend kindergarten.”

Ricky glanced at Draxton and pursed his lips, without saying a word.

Isabella embraced Ricky lovingly and didn’t say anything.

When they got back to Northernville Manor, Isabella brought Ricky upstairs. She didn’t cast a single look at Draxton the entire time.

Cooper could sense something wrong with the atmosphere when Isabella and Draxton got back. “Chieftain, what’s wrong? Did you get into a fight with Miss Thompson?” asked Cooper worriedly.

Draxton replied, “Cooper, I heard Henry Lockwood did not make many contributions in recent years.

“Henry Lockwood?” Cooper paused briefly. Something dawned on him after he connected the dots. “Chieftain, I heard Henry’s daughter is the vice-principal of the kindergarten. After Owen retires, Veronica will take over his position. Do you want to…”

Draxton replied mildly, “As upper management of North Star Group, he has nothing to show for it. Instead, he has learned to use his power to bully the weak. People like them have no place in the kindergarten or North Star Group.”

A sympathetic look swept across Cooper’s eyes. If he was not mistaken, Veronica must have done something wrong today.

“Got it. Chieftain, I will call the person in charge of North Star Group now,” said Cooper.

Draxton said, “Tell Alan to investigate Henry thoroughly. Make sure he doesn’t have the chance to argue when the time comes.”

“Yes, Chieftain.” Cooper paused briefly. The Lockwood family was a large clan. It was only natural that some people had their hands dirty.

If the chieftain wanted to take down Henry Lockwood, he had to use the skeletons in Henry’s closet against him.

The chieftain had made up his mind to take out Henry and his family for good.

If Veronica knew the consequences of her actions today, he wondered if she would live to regret it.

Alan worked quickly. Before long, Henry’s shady secrets were openly exposed. In an instant, Henry was at a
