Chapter 219 She’s The Patriarch’s Wife
Kim was stunned.
Jeanne had always been gentle.
She rarely saw Jeanne angry. In her memory, the last time she saw Jeanne so furious was a few years
ago when Philip was patriarch. At that time, Jeanne was the patriarch’s wife. Because of the Lockwood
family’s restless side branches, she exercised her power and imposed her will.
Apart from times like that, Jeanne was easy to get along with.
She was magnanimous, gentle, and calm, which was very different from her sharp and aggressive
appearance at this moment.
“Jeanne, I didn’t mean it. Why are you so aggressive?”
“Why am I aggressive? Kim, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Don’t tell me you want the
Lockwood family’s patriarch’s wife to greet others first?”
When Kim heard her, she shuddered.
Shawn and his wife, who were initially dissatisfied because Isabella did not greet them first, suddenly
froze.
Isabella looked at Jeanne with a gentle gaze, her heart filled with warmth.
Madame Emma Lockwood patted Isabella’s hand. Isabella turned to look at Madame Emma Lockwood,
who winked back at Isabella smugly and mouthed, “Your mother is amazing!”
Isabella did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Jeanne stared at Kim with a faint smile.
Kim closed her eyes. She knew that she had utterly embarrassed herself today.
Gary turned to look at Draxton and said, “Draxton, my mother really didn’t have any other intentions.
Please try to calm Aunt Jeanne down.”
Draxton looked up at him and said in a deadpan voice, “My wife has been wronged. Your mother was the

Gary was rendered speechless.
“I don’t even dare to provoke my wife. My entire family has to make my wife happy. She has never
suffered so much!”
Draxton looked furious.
Gary didn’t know what to say.
Gary thought, “Draxton, do you know that you’re acting like a dog right now?”
Seeing that even Gary had been reprimanded, Kim took a deep breath in despair and said to Jeanne,
“Jeanne, don’t be angry. I’ll apologize to Bella now.”
Only then did Jeanne’s expression soften a little. She continued staring at Kim with a burning gaze,
waiting for her to apologize.
Kim took a deep breath, turned to look at Isabella, and squeezed out a smile. “Bella, I’m sorry. I didn’t
think before I spoke. Please don’t take it to heart. It’s all my fault.”

Only then did Isabella smile and say slowly, “Aunt Kim, you’re too polite. We’re family. I won’t take small
matters like these to heart.
“I did have children out of wedlock. I can’t compare to you or your good upbringing, but fortunately,
Draxton and the elders like me. I’m living a good life.”
“Yeah, Draxton obviously dotes on his wife,” Kim said dryly.
Isabella smiled faintly and did not reply.
Two drops of cold sweat rolled down Shawn and his wife’s foreheads. They suddenly realized that they
seemed to have made a fatal mistake.
The Lockwood family’s patriarch’s wife was not someone whom they could act high and mighty in front
of.
It was laughable that they were secretly complaining that Isabella did not greet them just now.
Looking at the attitude of the Lockwood family, it was obvious that Isabella had a high status in the family.
How would they dare to ask her to greet them first?
To put it nicely, they were relatives of the Lockwood family and could be considered elders. However, to
put it bluntly, if it weren’t for Kim, they wouldn’t even be able to walk through the door of the Lockwood
family’s
residence.
Shawn hurriedly said, “Mrs. Lockwood, we were rude. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
As he spoke, he took out a box and said, “This is a small token from us. Please take it as an apology. I
hope you will accept it.”
Isabella glanced at the box but did not take it.
Since Jeanne stood up for her, she naturally could not forgive them easily.
Hence, she only said calmly, “There’s no need. I think the design of this box is a little old–fashioned. It
probably wasn’t prepared for me.
“Grandma, Mom, I’m tired. I’ll go upstairs and rest first.”
Madame Emma Lockwood stood up and followed her. “I want to rest too. Bella, bring me along.”
Then, Madame Emma Lockwood and Isabella held each other’s arms and went upstairs.
Jeanne’s lips curled into a smile.
Shawn’s expression froze.
This gift was indeed not intended for Isabella.
In fact, they had prepared gifts for everyone in the Lockwood family except for Isabella.
The box in his hand was prepared for Ava.
Ava was Bernard’s mother. If they wanted to marry Cressida to Bernard, they naturally had to build a
good relationship with Ava. Now, this gift could not be given out again.
It was as if the air in the living room was frozen.
Cressida pursed her lips tightly and her face turned pale. She suddenly realized that Isabella, whom she
looked down on, was still the patriarch’s wife even though she got pregnant out of wedlock.

Isabella’s husband was the Lockwood family’s patriarch. Not only did she have her husband’s love, but
she also had her mother–in–law to protect her.
Madame Emma Lockwood was also biased toward her.
Cressida had underestimated her enemy.
She couldn’t help but blame Elodia for being defeated by Isabella.
“Hmph, don’t think that all the women who marry into the Lockwood family can be like Isabella. Elodia, a
country bumpkin, will never be like her. Don’t be smug.”
Cressida secretly glared in the direction of Elodia.
When Elodia saw Cressida turning to look at her, she lowered her head slightly to hide her expression.
Elodia was afraid that others would see the happy expression on her face.
Jeanne, Draxton, and Madame Emma Lockwood’s protection of Isabella made her extremely envious.
However, Kim’s defeat secretly made her happy.
It turned out that her mother–in–law, who was high and mighty in front of her, was powerless in front of
the main branch.
Elodia was in an inexplicably good mood.
“I’m going to see my grandfathers.” Draxton got up and walked upstairs.
“Wait, I’ll go with you.” Philip stood up as he wanted to leave this awkward scene.
Jeanne combed through her hair elegantly and said, “Well, I’m tired too. I’m going to lie down for a
while.”
She got up and left too.
In the end, only Colin, Kim’s family, and the Langley family were left.
The atmosphere fell silent.
After a while, Colin stood up and looked at Kim. “You’re really muddle–headed.”
With that, he left.
Kim looked at him leaving aggrievedly, and her eyes could not help but turn red.
Cressida looked at Elodia and said, “Elodia, can’t you see that Aunt Kim isn’t feeling well? Bring her a
cup of tea. Why can’t you be more proactive?”
