Chapter 248 It’s Just My Duty
Willow’s eyes suddenly widened, glaring at Isabella in disbelief. She shouted, “How dare you!”
Shocked and furious, her chest heaved violently, and her eyes, which were turbid from age, instantly
erupted with an incomparably sharp light.
“Come on, do it. Show me what you are made of!” She glanced coldly at Big Dipper and Little Dipper,
then her sharp gaze landed on Isabella’s face.
Isabella still wore a smiling face, looking composed and calm, and silent, as if all was under her control.
Her confident bearing was beyond the others‘ expectations.
Big Dipper and Little Dipper, however, appeared rather determined and not in the slightest afraid.
Even if the person they were facing was Willow Lockwood, the ancestor of the Lockwood family, to which
she had her entire life, they didn’t falter in their resolve at all.
They knew clearly deep inside to whom they should serve heart and soul and to whom they’d sworn their
loyalty.
Normally, they would show Willow the greatest respect, but if their master gave them an order against
her, they’d take it without hesitation.
Big Dipper and Little Dipper looked at each other, and sparks of eagerness burst out of their eyes.
It was their showtime, they thought to themselves.
They decided they must satisfy the patriarch’s wife to win her trust.
Immediately, two groups rushed toward Zack, Samson, and Willow
The dignified expression on Willow’s face was immediately replaced by shock.
Never did she think that they would really listen to that bitch’s words and fight against her.
It was totally beyond her expectations.
She, Willow Lockwood, was the ancestor of the Lockwood family, the person with the highest status in
the family.
She could not figure out why Little Dipper and Big Dipper would take orders from a woman who had just
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbeen married into the Lockwood recently and defy her.
And she could not accept the fact.
The contrast was so enormous that Willow was still in shock, unable to collect herself.
Zack and Samson were horrified to find that Little Dipper and Big Dipper literally obeyed every order from
Isabella
Samson began to panic. He turned to Draxton and said, “Draxton, she’s messing up it all; shouldn’t you
do something?”
As a matter of fact, Draxton was complacent about Isabella’s domineering behavior. And when he heard
this, he gave a faint contemptuous grin and twisted his head, pretending not to have heard it.
He was obviously favoring Isabella.
At this moment, all the members of the family in the hall were extremely shocked.
They all rested their eyes on Isabella and had a grudging admiration for her.
No one dared to take her lightly anymore.
True, the patriarch might dote on her and pamper her, but Little Dipper and Big Dipper were quite
different
They certainly wouldn’t listen to a woman just because the patriarch pampered her
And the fact that Little Dipper and Big Dipper were completely willing to serve the woman only indicated
one thing–this woman had in herself unthinkable power!
No one dared not to take seriously about such a person.
The air in the hall became quiet. People began to feel sympathy for Isabella, and they thought the words
of Willow were too harsh, and now she deserved the slap in her face.
True, Willow’s contribution to the family was indeed significant, but if she thought she could
unscrupulously use her privilege against innocent people, she was wrong.
Little Dipper’s men ruthlessly restrained Zack and Samson’s men in an instant. Ignoring their objections,
they dragged these people out domineeringly.
At the same time, Big Dipper’s men said to Willow with a deadpan exterior, “Mama, will you please go
out yourself or escorted by us?”
“Good, good… You… You really surprised me.”
Willow pointed at them with her index finger. Her voice trembled and her breathing became more and
more rapid. Then, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Big Dipper and his men were stupefied. What were they supposed to do now?
They shifted their sight to Isabella for help.
There was a small commotion in the hall.
Willow was, after all, a hundred–year–old old woman. If anything happened to her today, the Lockwood
family’s image would be greatly damaged, be the patriarch’s wife justifiable or not.
Isabella did not panic at all. She looked at Willow, who was still holding onto Jen tightly, and she gave a
sneer.
She stepped forward and said to Big Dipper, “Since Madame Emma Lockwood has fainted, throw this
unknown girl out first. She is not entitled to be here at the Lockwood family’s old residence.
As for Madame Emma Lockwood, I’m Miraculous Doctor, I’ll cope with her.”
Hearing that, Big Dipper immediately took Jen and dragged her out.
Jen started and exclaimed loudly, “Look what you have done!
Madame Emma Lockwood is so amiable. How could you bear to make her faint from anger?
You, as the patriarch’s wife, how could you be so mean to Madame Emma Lockwood?”
Isabella laughed out loud at that. “Heh, mean? You’re not qualified to say this here. Tell you what, you’re
not worthy of being here either. I decide who stays here.”
The fainted old lady opened her eyes and sat up. Then, she stood up nimbly and pounced on Jen.
“Let go of Jen! Let go of my Jen!”
Too worried about Jen, she forgot to fake faint.
She held Jen tightly in her arms.
Isabella’s expression turned cold, and she said indifferently, “Throw them out together!”
Big Dipper dragged Willow out without batting an eyelid.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe hall instantly returned to silence.
Everyone held their breath, not even daring to loudly as they looked at Isabella in fear.
“Outrageous!” Suddenly, a dry reprimand broke the silence.
Stunned, people thought to themselves, “Who’s this guy to defy the patriarch’s wife at this moment?”
They looked up and saw Damon Lockwood’s exasperated face.
Isabella tilted her head and looked at Damon Lockwood.
The man’s eyes quavered a little, he gave a dry cough and said, “How can you be so rude to Madame
Emma Lockwood?”
“Rude, I don’t think so. We’re just escorting her out. She’s too old to stand here for long. Bella wants her
to rest well; is there anything wrong with that?”
Patriarch Lockwood’s voice was soft and unconvincing.
Hearing his words and looking at his impassive face, everyone was speechless.
They all deemed it a lame excuse.
Tuty
solicitous expression. How could anyone believe him?
The next moment, however, they heard Damon Lockwood say, “Is that… that so? Al… right, alright,
Isabella is really… really a considerate woman.”
People in the hall were utterly dumbfounded.
They simply did not know how to express their feelings at this moment!
What a good drama they were playing!
What about the 100–year–old Madame Emma Lockwood then?
If she heard it, wouldn’t she be infuriated to death?
People began to realize that each and every member of the Lockwood family doted on the patriarch’s
wife as if she was the center of the whole family.
At this moment, Isabella’s sweet voice sounded, “I’m flattered, Grandpa and Grandpa Damon, it’s just my
duty.”
Duty? Seriously?
Again, people became wordless.
What a cheeky woman she is!
