The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 41 Marriage License

Looking at Ricky crying desperately in his mother’s arms, Draxton felt his heart squeeze in pain too.

He knew Isabella and Ricky were trying their best to accept him, but he failed to protect them from all dangers.

He turned his head and looked at Alan and Martin coldly.

Alan and Martin knelt down, looking regretful.

“Miss Thompson, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have lied to you. I’m willing to take any punishment,” Alan said earnestly

Martin said, “Miss Thompson, we did plan this together. We had prejudices against you before, but now, we know we were wrong. We’re willing to accept your punishment, but we hope you won’t get mad at Mr. Lockwood because of our stupid behavior.”

Isabella heard their words, but she did not want to answer them. She held Ricky in her arms, and without looking back, she scurried into another room.

She did not spare Alan and Martin any look this whole time.

To her, these two people cannot be unforgiven.

If it were five years ago, she would have been tortured by those men or even be dead by now because she used to have no strength to protect herself.

They might have played with her, like playing with a toy, until she was dead and threw her into a gutter. At that moment, she wore a deadpan expression as if she had never known the word “forgive” since she was a child.

She would never pay any attention to those men who hurt her. She did not even spare them a glance. Their paths would never cross again.

The same went for even the Thompson family. When she learned that they had hurt her, Isabella left the Thompson family at once and never met them again.

And then, there was the Lang family. Since they never accepted Isabella, she decided to never accept them as well.

Life was too short to care about those types of people and things that did not deserve her. She only wanted to try her best to cherish those worthy of her care.

Isabella didn’t consider herself cold-hearted, but rather, she was just being rational.

Ricky did not pay any attention to Alan and Martin too. He rested in his mother’s arms without any worries. Her warm embrace was all he cared about.

Isabella and Ricky’s attitude dealt a hard blow to Alan and Martin.

With profound regret, they desperately understood that Isabella and Ricky would not forgive them. They did not even want to take a look at them.

They felt so ashamed.

At that moment, Draxton found a new aspect of Isabella’s personality. He turned to look at Martin and Alan. “Alan, you’re suspended from the chief of the Executive Department for the time being. I’ll let Silas take your place. From now on, Executive Department will be run by him.

“As for you…”

It was hard for Draxton to make a decision. Though Alan had made a mistake, it could not ignore all his feats before. Draxton was going to say that he would set Alan free and that they had nothing to do with each other. However, before he could open his mouth, Alan interrupted quickly, “Mr. Lockwood, I’m willing to go back to Expendable Camp for retraining. I made this mistake because I wasn’t rational enough to see the nature of things.

“I want to go back to Expendable Camp for retraining. If I can come out of there alive, please take me as your employee again. I won’t dare to ask you to give me my old job back. All I want is to be your right hand.” Alan’s eyes turned teary.

If he left Draxton, he would have enough assets to live an easy life for the rest of his life. Also, he was capable enough too. Besides, he already had high standing right now. No one would dare to look down on him.

But he did not want to get kicked out.

He would rather go to Expendable Camp and put his life on the line, in the hope of being employed by Draxton again in the future. Even if he ended up dying there, he thought it would be worth it.

Everything he got was given by the Lockwood family. He would rather die than leave the Lockwood family Seeing Alan’s imploring eyes, Draxton fell into silence for a while and then nodded.

And then, Draxton looked at Martin.

Before Martin could open his mouth, Draxton said quickly in a cold tone, “You go overseas to get Star of Cold Light back. That’ll redeem yourself.”

Martin opened his mouth, without any words coming out of it. At length, he had to nod in dismay.

Martin was not demoted like Alan. He was sent to other countries.

Martin might never get a chance to come back because this was a task that he could never finish.

Star of Cold Light was a gem, an heirloom of the Lockwood family.
