Chapter 23 They Came Again
Sophia blinked her eyes. “That maid already has a kid. Mom, don’t you think he is…”
Amelia sneered, “Impossible. If he is Mr. Lockwood’s son, he should have been sent back to the
Lockwood family’s residence long before; however, we have never heard of the news.
“Humph. That’s not the end. We will not forget about it.”
Unfortunately, the arrogant mother and daughter did not have a clear look at Ricky’s appearance.
In other words, they never cared about Ricky’s appearance. They were only concentrating on giving
Isabella a
lesson.
Sophia also resented Isabella to a great extent. Touching her swollen face, a gloomy look took over her
eyes. Thinking that Isabella and Ricky had both been freaked out, Draxton stayed with them for the rest
of the day. The following day, a siren went off from outside and echoed within the estate. “Attention! An
attack is coming.
With Cooper’s alert, all the defense system was activated. Alan and Martin held Draxton in the center to
protect him.
In the monitoring room, Cooper watched the so–called “attack“.
Amelia and Sophia, along with an elderly from the Lockwood family’s branch, sat in a car and broke into
the Northernville Mannor.
However, they apparently broke into a pathway that was not supposed to enter by accident.
It fed to the ongoing siren.
“I do remember. It must be the correct way, but why everything looks different?”
Amelia murmured to herself while driving. She struggled to ask an elderly from the Lockwood family’s
branch to act on her behalf. And yet, even if she came in, they got lost.
Following the piercing siren, more than a dozen dark muzzles were aiming at them.
Amelia, dressed like a first–class lady with a garishly made–up face, moved her bloody lips and
exclaimed.

“He even dared to point the riffles at us. Oh my goodness! Back then, my dad saved the former
chieftain’s life by risking his own. How could Mr. Lockwood be so mean to us?”
The elderly named Freddie frowned and replied, “Mr. Lockwood is really unfair to you all.”
Freddie was a brother to Amelia’s father, Nathan Lockwood. Although they were not biological siblings,
they had a close relationship and got along well.
This time, Amelia asked him to be a mediator between her and the chieftain, so Freddie came with her.
Unexpectedly, they ran into such an incident.
Freddie got pissed off. Nevertheless, those ruthless robots with riffles were not just scaring them.
Seemingly, they were to be shot once they moved a little.
“Leave within ten seconds or be shot to death,” said a robot in a monotone voice.
The three people in the car all gritted their teeth.
“I don’t buy it! How dare Mr. Lockwood shoot us for real!” Amelia was not going to give in without a fight.
While they were talking in the car, the robots were counting quietly. As time went by, the car was still
staying put.
Sophia even sat tight with a pair of puppy eyes in the car.
She knew there was a surveillance camera in the estate. She came up with an idea, thinking it was a
great opportunity.
She was supposed to present herself bravely and uniquely so that Drax would see her merits.
Drax’s background and social status were worth her giving a try. How could she let go of such a perfect
man?
No man could stand the temptation from a woman. Sophia did not believe that Drax could really resist
her charm and ignore her.
With this thought in mind, Sophia started to present herself as an adorable, brave, stubborn, yet
charming woman who was withholding the tears in her eyes.
She straightened her back and exclaimed, “Drax, I knew you could see us!
“We are visiting to talk everything through. How could you send us away for no reason yesterday? Now,
you even let them point at us with a bunch of riffles. Did we do anything wrong?
“How could you be so mean to me? I don’t understand!”
Cooper had nothing to say.
Looking at what was going on via the monitor, he only felt amused.
Unfortunately, Sophia did not know Draxton was not in the monitoring room. Her performance was
doomed to be of no avail.
Draxton was staying with Isabella and Ricky at that time.
None of them noticed the chaos outside, ignoring Sophia’s group completely.
Alan said, “Mr. Lockwood, Freddie is also with them.”
“Freddie?” Draxton raised his eyebrows. “That arrogant Freddie has been pulling strings to benefit
himself on the sly over the years. It is time to give him a lesson.”
Alan had hated that old fellow long before, so he smiled at Draxton’s words. “Certainly, Mr. Lockwood.”
Isabella was playing games with Ricky without looking up for a second. Hence, she did not hear what
they said.
On the other hand, Sophia could not stop performing as a strong and brave angel, as if she would not cry
even though she was injured.
“Well, she is so original. I have met various people, even including the same as her kind. However, it is
rare to see. It is hard to believe the Hart family would go that far.”
Cooper released a signal in the monitoring room.
Seemingly, it was time to give the Hart family a lesson. Otherwise, no one knew what kind of crazy things
might come up based on their irresponsible acts.
Also, was the Northernville Manor that easy to break into?
In the surveillance camera, Sophia was still performing. “Drax, I, Sophie, only want to return your favor!
“All I want is to meet you once more to talk everything through. Since you sent my mom and me away for
no reason, I don’t buy it. Let’s talk in person.”
With tears in her bright eyes, Sophia revealed a sorrowful look.
Cooper inhaled deeply and put on an indifferent expression.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOver the years, the Hart family was merely showing their ignorance.
Since they did not behave themselves, they did not deserve any respect from him.
Cooper exited the monitoring room and walked outside.
On his way, Cooper controlled the robots to step aside. Seeing Cooper show up, the three in the car
showed a relieved look.
“Cooper, where is Mr. Lockwood?”
Freddie wore a solemn face as he asked.
Cooper glanced at them indifferently and said, “Freddie, are you sure to go against Mr. Lockwood?”
Freddie froze.
“What did you mean, Cooper? I heard Mr. Lockwood is obsessed with a maid. Because of it, he kicked
Amelia and Sophia out. Don’t you think he is going too far?”
“Freddie, are you questioning Mr. Lockwood’s acts?”
L.”
Freddie hesitated at the moment.
Cooper gave him a meaningful look. “Freddie, as mature as a grandpa, you’d better learn to mind your
own business.”
Freddie fell into silence.
“Cooper!”
Sitting aside, Amelia screamed, “What did you mean, Cooper?
“Didn’t you see how that maid treated us yesterday? If you did not stop her, that was fine. But how dare
you mess up with us with Mr. Lockwood?
“As a young man, Mr. Lockwood could be allured by that maid. But how could an old man like you also
lose your mind?”
Cooper suddenly switched to a stern look.
“Leave at once if you don’t want to piss Mr. Lockwood off.”
Cooper’s voice sounded pretty cold.
“What if we don’t?” Amelia straightened her neck.
Cooper was speechless.
He had met someone who looked for trouble, but it was his first time seeing such an impossible woman.
