Chapter 143 Taking The Kids Home
Although she felt sorry for her Big Brother, she did not want to work deep down in her.
The others were probably feeling the same as Yale.
Ignoring the presence of the Riker family’s outsiders, Roger, Bernard, and Shepard also squeezed over
and surrounded Isabella.
“Isabella, please take pity on us. Don’t let Big Brother arrange jobs for us. We are really busy, and we are
not suitable for work.”
That was Bernard’s sincere request.
“Isabella, look at me. I’m still a child. You have to pity me. I’m really, really tired from school every day.
Can you ask Big Brother to leave me alone since I’m still young?”
Roger looked pitiful when he begged.
Shepard also had a fawning look on her face. “Isabella, Big Brother is wise and capable. The Lockwood
family needs only him. Besides, he has so many capable people under him. Why would he need us?”
Olivia nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. They’re right. Sister-in-law, you must help us persuade Big
Brother not to let him arrange jobs for us.”
Isabella was startled as she thought.
“What kind of brats were these?”
This was what she had not expected and she was a little taken aback. She knew that the Lockwood
family kids seemed to be free, but it turned out that they were all lazy.
She could not help but feel sorry for Draxton. After all, he was her man. How could she let these little
ones off so easily?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHence, she looked at them with a mischievous grin.
She said, “Don’t you guys know that if you’re Big Brother gets his burden off work, he will have more time
to accompany me.”
That was unexpected!
The looks of anticipation on their faces froze when they heard Isabella saying that.
When they returned to their senses, they looked at Isabella in horror. All of them were so frightened that
their faces turned pale, and they pouted their lips. Each of them looked more pitiful than the other.
Isabella chuckled and looked at them in amusement.
“Isabella, 40,000 times 80,000 is equivalent to 320,000, right? Although I’m brilliant, I’m not qualified to
help Big Brother. Being a lazy brat is what I’m good at.”
Bernard said tactfully.
“Sister-in-law, I don’t know how to calculate one plus one equals two. I’m not qualified either.”
“Isabella…”
They kept trying to get away with having to work.
Isabella was amused and helpless as she looked at them and said, “You guys! What nonsense are you
talking about? Aren’t you afraid of letting outsiders laugh at you?”
Roger felt wronged. He complained, “But, Isabella, this outsider was trying to sow discord between us.
“They clearly know that the few of us are useless, but they still did this. They want to make the Lockwood
family perish because of us. They are up to no good.”
“That’s right, sister-in-law, you have to stand up for us. They want to harm the Lockwood family,” The few
of them spoke at once.
Isabella squinted her eyes slightly and smiled. She looked at Lindon.
Lindon and Shane were dumbfounded.
From the moment the Lockwood family members complained to Isabella, they were stunned.
At first, they thought that the Lockwood family might be playing hard to get a job in the Lockwood family’s
business and deliberately saying this to confuse Isabella. But gradually, they no longer thought so.
Their expressions were too serious.
The emotions in their eyes were genuine fear and worried, and what they were afraid of was that they
would be assigned to work.
Lindon wanted to curse deep down him.
He felt these young people were out of their minds.
They did not react as they were supposed to.
He had put on so many shows and spent so much effort before, but all of it turned out in vain.
It felt humiliating that he thought that he had succeeded in sowing discord.
Lindon’s current expression was ugly and embarrassed. It was fascinating to watch.
Isabella said coldly. “It seems you are very concerned about the Lockwood family, Mr. Riker.
“In my opinion, this is not just what you want, but it is what the entire Riker family wants, right? The Riker
family is so concerned about the Lockwood family. As the patriarch’s wife, I am really touched. “When I
get back, I’ll definitely tell Draxton about the Riker family’s thoughts. I believe Draxton will be very
touched and will definitely thank the Riker family properly.”
She emphasized the phrase “thank properly”.
Lindon and Shane’s expressions became uglier and uglier. A chill ran down their spines.
They looked at Isabella’s plastered smile, and fear rose in them at the same time.
Lindon had a forced smile on his face, but he did not know that his smile was ugly. He said, “Miss
Thompson, you have misunderstood. Kids, you have also misunderstood. We did not mean that at all.
Don’t think too much about it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsabella said indifferently. “Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, we’re not fools. We can judge for
ourselves. Therefore, please don’t treat the Lockwood family people as fools.”
At this point, her expression had completely turned cold. She looked at the Lockwood family members
and said in a low voice, “Are you done eating? Come home with me after you’re done. Isn’t it
uncomfortable to stay here?”
The Lockwood family’s kids were obedient. They nodded repeatedly. “We’re done eating. Isabella, take
us home quickly.”
Isabella nodded in satisfaction and looked at Lindon mockingly before taking the kids home.
In the blink of an eye, the private room was empty. The three people from the Riker family stood where
they were, dumbfounded.
Lindon came back to his senses with a gloomy expression. When he saw that Ethan was also there, his
face. immediately darkened. He asked, “Ethan, why didn’t you leave with Olivia?”
Ethan lowered his head and said calmly, “Uncle, what makes you think I can leave with Olivia?”
“You’re her fiance!”
Lindon blurted out without thinking much.
Even though Ethan’s expectations of the Riker family had dropped to the lowest, he could not help but be
shocked
He looked at Lindon and asked, “Uncle, what makes you think that? Did the Lockwood family agree with
what you said? Did Olivia agree?”
Lindon said. They will agree.”
Ethan took a deep breath and did not know what to say.
Lindon was in a terrible mood. Not only did he not sow discord between the Lockwood family’s second
and third branches, but he even made the Lockwood family warier of them.
He waved his hand tiredly and said to Ethan, “Forget it. Go to your grandpa and head home with him.
