Chapter 54 The Power Of Authority
The next day, when Sir Graham Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood came out of their room, their
mental state was better. They must have taken the medicine.
The two of them were radiating energy. The wrinkles on their faces had disappeared.
Even the skin on their hands became more supple.
Their hair was even more lustrous than before.
“Bella, your medicine is amazing!” Madame Emma Lockwood shouted excitedly as she walked down the
stairs.
Breakfast had been prepared downstairs. The entire family was ready to eat. When they saw Madame
Emma Lockwood, they could not help but be stunned.
The two elders’ changes were more apparent than theirs.
They also discovered a phenomenon. It seemed that the older the person, the more effective the pill
would be on them.
For example, the changes in youngsters were the least conspicuous.
“Bella, your medicine is miraculous. My legs don’t hurt anymore, my waist isn’t sore anymore, and my
presbyopia is gone. I probably don’t have to worry about my blood sugar anymore! In the future, I can eat
as many sweets as I want. Bella, you’re really grandma’s little fairy!”
Madame Emma Lockwood dashed forward enthusiastically.
She gave Isabella a tight hug. Isabella smiled and said, “Yes, grandma is also a little fairy!”
Madame Emma Lockwood couldn’t be any happier.
Sir Graham Lockwood followed after and looked at Isabella fervently. “You’re also grandpa’s little fairy!”
As he spoke, he strained his arm as if trying to show her his muscles. However, there were no muscles.
The old man retracted his arm resentfully.
Isabella could not help but laugh.
The family sat together and had breakfast. Isabella and Draxton were going back to Northernville Manor
with Ricky.
The others also went about their own business, especially Macpherson Lockwood, who wished he could
harvest a large batch of medicinal herbs immediately.

They looked at Draxton and Isabella as if they were heartless and asked in disbelief, “You want to take
our little Ricky with you? How can you do this?”
The two elders looked extremely heartbroken. It was as if they would cry, throw a tantrum, and hang
themselves on the spot if they dared to say yes.
Isabella and Draxton were speechless.
They looked at the two elders helplessly.
The old man widened his eyes and claimed, “Little Ricky is staying with us. You can’t take him with you!”
The old man’s expression was clearly saying, “Don’t break us up!”
Draxton looked at Isabella.
Isabella looked at Ricky.

Ricky looked at his mother and father, then at great grandma, who was looking at him eagerly.
Little Ricky pursed his lips helplessly and said seriously, “great-grandpa, great-grandma. I’m going to
kindergarten. I’ll come back next week to play with you guys.”
He comforted the two of them in a childish voice.
The two elders’ eyes instantly softened and even became watery. Madame Emma Lockwood clutched
her chest with an expression that said she couldn’t take it anymore. “How can you be so obedient?
You’re too
obedient, too cute. My heart is about to melt!”
The old man’s heart softened. He just agreed, “Alright, alright, little darling. you should attend
kindergarten! Great-grandpa and great-grandma will miss you!”
Ricky nodded seriously.
His small face was blushed. It was obvious that the two elders’ reaction made him shy.
After they left, Madame Emma Lockwood looked at Sir Graham Lockwood and said, “Old man, did you
see Little Ricky? He was being so shy.”
The old man’s eyes lit up. “I saw it. He’s too cute. Ricky, my little baby, you’re much cuter than Draxton
when he was young!”
“Yes! Although Draxton is also very cute, our little baby Ricky is even cuter.”
Then they fell silent.
Moments later, the two elders looked at each other and tacitly turned around to head upstairs. Their
movements were extremely agile. Soon, two people dressed as cleaners sneaked down the stairs,
avoiding the butlers and robots. The two of them quickly left the house.
Unbeknownst to them, as soon as they left, the butler reported to Draxton that they had gone out in
disguise.
The butler’s original words were, “Chieftain, you guessed correctly. Sir Graham Lockwood and Madame
Emma Lockwood went out in disguise. They probably went to the kindergarten undercover. They were
dressed as cleaners.”
Draxton hung up the phone. This would a headache for him.
Isabella, who also heard butler’s voice on the phone, was dumbfounded.
“Is that even possible?” Isabella asked in shock.
Draxton said helplessly, “Is there anything they can’t do?”
Isabella knew that he was right.
After sending Ricky to kindergarten, the two returned to Northernville Manor when they saw Silas Yanter
sprinting toward them.
Silas had already returned to Northernville Manor yesterday afternoon. He seemed to have something
on. Seeing how anxious he was, Isabella knew he must have something important to report.
Silas walked up and said to Draxton, “Mr. Lockwood, something has happened to Martin Gates…”
As he spoke, he saw the Big Dipper ring on Isabella’s finger. He paused, and a trace of shock flashed
across his eyes. However, he quickly suppressed his shock and hid his emotions.
However, he became more respectful toward Isabella when he faced her.
Isabella smiled silently. She could tell that Silas was way more intelligent than Alan Drennon and Martin
Gates.
Draxton also noticed his reaction. As he walked, he asked, “What happened to Martin Gates?”
“Martin Gates is missing!”
Draxton stopped in his tracks, then he continued walking.
“Also, the Dark Hall we set up over there has been destroyed…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDraxton’s brows creased.
“Are there any survivors?” Draxton asked in a deep voice.
“No. They were all wiped out.”
The Dark Hall belonged to the Lockwood family. It was quite large in scale. How could it be entirely
destroyed?
“Chieftain,” Silas said. “We’ve determined that someone is secretly targeting us.”
Draxton said, “I’ll be heading there personally.”
Silas’ expression turned solemn.
Draxton looked at Isabella and said, “I’m going out for a while. In the next few days, when I’m not around,
you
have to take good care of yourself. If you don’t want to stay in Northernville Manor, you can head back to
the family residence and stay with grandpa and grandma. Mom and Dad often accompany each other at
the residence.”
Isabella smiled. “You don’t have to worry about me. I think Third Uncle will come over soon. He’s been
wanting to plant medicinal herbs.”
Draxton’s face darkened. He was exhausted.
In other families, brothers, uncles, nephews, and even fathers and sons fought for power and benefits.
However, when it came to his family, there was always a lazier person, never the laziest person. He had
to carry all these responsibilities that the others did not care about. They were just useless!
If he continued to do nothing, the Lockwood Group would definitely collapse because of their laziness!
Thinking of this, Draxton Lockwood felt stifled. Did they think that he wanted to be diligent?
No, he, too, was hoping there would be someone who could snatch the position of chieftain from him.
He had just gotten married and was about to be separated from his wife. He felt very aggrieved.
Depressed, he went to the living room and said to Cooper, “Cooper, there’s something I need you to do.”
Cooper’s expression turned serious. “Mr. Lockwood, I await your orders.”
Draxton said, “Withhold the monthly allowances of Bernard and the others. Withhold everything.”
Cooper was stunned. Did those young masters and young ladies offend the chieftain, or did they mistreat
Isabella?
Then, he heard Draxton say, “I’ll have them know the power of authority.”
That authority could even determine the fate of their allowances.
He was sure they would understand the power of authority now.
Cooper just did not know what to say.
