Chapter 245 A Woman For Draxton
Zack said, “Do you mean that lady?”
“That’s right. No one can make the main branch tolerate other than that woman.”
“Turn around and go to Willow Estate!”
Willow Estate was an estate specially built for that precious member of the Lockwood family.
In fact, to show respect, the name Willow Estate was named after her.
Willow was almost a hundred years old this year. She was a generation higher than Patriarch Lockwood
and the others. Patriarch Lockwood had to call Willow his aunt.
Decades ago, during the upheaval of the Lockwood family, this ancestor, Willow, had killed her husband
and abandoned her daughter for the sake of her family. She had never married for the rest of her life.
She had devoted her entire life to the Lockwood family without selfish motives.
Whether it was the main branch or the side branches, any descendant of the Lockwood family would be
respectful to this ancestor.
Zack and Samson went to Willow Estate. An hour ago, in a secret underground private laboratory, Mike
brought his latest experimental product out of the laboratory with a smile.
It was a teenage girl aged fifteen to sixteen years old.
The girl had a pair of different–colored eyes.
One of her eyes was ordinary black, but the other eye was midnight blue like the Lockwood family
people. Zack and Samson were about to reach Willow Estate when a girl suddenly pounced from the
side of the road and blocked their car.
Zack and Samson’s car was forced to stop. Their expressions were complicated. That was strange. Why
were there so many women stopping their car these two days?
Zack squinted his eyes. The woman who appeared in Willow Estate couldn’t be a coincidence. Zack
cautiously asked the bodyguard to go down and check.
The bodyguards went over and surrounded the girl. Then, the girl looked up and revealed a gentle little
face. She was beautiful, but her strange eyes were undoubtedly the most fatal.
“Different–colored pupils…” Zack was shocked and lost his composure for a moment.
Samson’s pupils constricted as well. He said in horror, “Big Brother, are we seeing a ghost?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? How can there be ghosts in this world?” Zack said.
The girl was wearing a white floral dress. Her long black hair was braided into two long braids. Her outfit

She had curved eyebrows, bright eyes, peach cheeks, an exquisite nose, and cherry lips. Her figure was
graceful, and she was indeed a beautiful and moving young lady.
The girl was soft, as if she had no bones. Her strange eyes seemed to carry thousands of autumn waters
and were filled with tenderness.
She looked at the bodyguards surrounding her in fear. Then, she looked through the car window at Zack
and Samson in the car.
Zack and Samson took a deep breath. Zack gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s not go to Willow’s place first.
Let’s take this girl back.”
“Big Brother, her background is unknown!”
Samson said warily.
Zack smiled and said, “I don’t know where she came from. Isn’t it a perfect gift for the patriarch?”
Samson’s eyes widened in shock.
“But her looks, and…”
“No matter who she looks like, give her to Draxton. I’m sure she will agree to this.”
in the end, they brought the girl into the car.
At eight o’clock in the evening, the entire Lockwood family branch family rushed to the old residence.
Those who could come to the old residence were all close relatives and had a certain status in the
Lockwood family.
Almost everyone had arrived, but Zack and Samson, who had come to cause trouble last night, had yet
to
arrive.
Draxton did not care about them because, at this moment, an important figure was slowly arriving with
the help of a servant.
When she arrived, even Patriarch Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood greeted her respectfully.
“Aunt, you’re here!”
Patriarch Lockwood went forward and supported Madame Emma Lockwood.
Even Damon’s expression softened as he obediently walked to the other side of the old woman.
That person was Willow, the ancestor of this family.
Willow had a smile on her face. She wore dark purple embroidered traditional dress, and her grey hair
was tied into a bun at the back of her head. She exuded a classical aura.
In fact, because of her arrival, the entire hall seemed to have instantly become antique.
That was undoubtedly a woman with a strong and influencing aura.
Willow was already a hundred years old.
However, she was neither deaf nor blind. She was wearing appropriate lipsticLookingked at Draxton, she
revealed a gentle smile and said, “Draxton is getting more and more mature.”
Draxton also greeted the old lady politely.
The old lady looked at Isabella who was beside Draxton.
As it was a family gathering, Isabella had also changed her clothes. She was wearing a dignified
traditional dress. Her long hair was tied up, and her makeup was exquisite.
She was beautiful, to begin with, and with this dress, she looked even more dazzling.
When the old lady saw her, he was stunned for a moment before the smile on his face disappeared.
“What a beautiful patriarch’s wife,” she praised.
However, Isabella did not hear much praise in her tone.
It was as if her good looks were a mistake.
Sure enough, the old lady said in the next moment, “Draxton, marry a wife with virtue and not with
beauty. As the patriarch, don’t be obsessed with beauty.”
Isabella was at a loss for words.
Was it her fault for being beautiful?
Patriarch Lockwood, Madame Emma Lockwood, and Jeanne were instantly anxious.
It would not be good if this ancestor had any objections to Bella!
Jeanne couldn’t help but defend her.
Philip grabbed her and shook his head at her.
Jeanne anxiously endured it and said, “What should we do? This ancestor’s temper is very stubborn.
“It could easily affect Bella’s authority as the patriarch’s wife if she doesn’t like Bella.”
Philip squinted his eyes and said, “She is old. Let her be. The Lockwood family is the world of the young.
The older generation is old, after all.”
Jeanne was smart. When she heard this, she thought for a moment before calming down. Philip added,
“Besides, it’s Draxton’s business to protect his wife. We should not interfere.” Jeanne immediately glared
at him and retorted, “Is there a father like you?”
Philip said, “I’ll just protect my wife.”
Everyone who heard their conversation was speechless.

Draxton said to Willow, “Great–great grandaunt, you’re right. Bella is indeed virtuous and gentle. She is
also gentle and a perfect wife.”
“Oh? Really?” Willow looked at Isabella.
Isabella smiled generously and said, “Great great–grandaunt, I wish you a Merry Christmas. I wish you a
healthy and blessed life.”
“You sure have a sweet tongue!”
Willow praised before asking, “Have you memorized the Three Conformities and Four Virtues of being a
wife?”
Isabella was speechless.
She finally knew where Damon got his personality from.
It was inherited in the family, after all.
Isabella said, “I don’t know all that as I have never memorized them. However, I remember one sentence
from
it.”
“Oh? Tell me about it.”
Willow said indifferently.
“That is to think more about your husband and your family,” Isabella smiled as she recited her lines.
That was a line, indeed. She had memorized that.
Draxton’s warning before they came gave her time to prepare.
Willow was indeed satisfied.
She stepped forward and held Isabella’s hand. “Looks like you’re really sensible…”
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly stopped. Her gaze was fixed on the Big Dipper ring on the
middle finger of Isabella’s right hand.
“Why are you wearing the Big Dipper ring?” Willow’s tone suddenly became sharp.
Isabella was about to continue memorizing her lines when she heard a sneer. “Aunt, you don’t know yet,
right? the patriarch has already handed the Big Dipper to her.”
Willow’s expression turned extremely ugly.
She looked at Isabella with a gaze full of scrutiny, as if Isabella was a woman with ill intentions.
Zack, Samson, and the others walked over. The most eye–catching thing was that there was a young girl
beside them.
The girl attracted everyone’s gazes.
Willow turned around and looked at Zack, but the girl beside them immediately grabbed her gaze.
Willow’s expression immediately changed.
Zack smiled and said, “Patriarch, this girl’s name is Jen, She’s the Christmas gift I prepared for you,
patriarch. I wonder if you like it?“
