Chapter 273 Exiling
Quentin finally understood that this wasn’t the patriarch’s wife taking power. This was simply Mr.
Lockwood giving the patriarch’s wife power
There was no sign of the patriarch’s wife using this opportunity to take power. If the outsiders saw what
was happening, they would probably be gobsmacked
Quentin’s face was stiff
He looked at Isabella with a complicated expression.
Isabella clearly did not understand what the family plaque of the Lockwood family represented. She was
confused.
*100 years ago, the family plaque was a letter from the head of the Lockwood family’s Punishment Hall.
The person in charge of the family plaque was even able to dethrone the patriarch and appoint a new
one. “Now, the Lockwood family had canceled the Punishment Hall, but the person in charge of the
family plaque is equivalent to the patriarch.
“In other words, if something happens to the patriarch, the surrogate patriarch could be in charge of the
family plaque in place of patriarch until there is a new patriarch.
“The surrogate patriarch could also become the new patriarch.
“Therefore, Grandpa’s asking you to personally retrieve the family plaque. Only then can you openly be
in charge of the family.”
Quentin looked at Isabella. He felt that Isabella should show a flattered expression.
But the truth was…
Isabella’s face was filled with disbelief. “Grandpa, you’re asking me to be the surrogate patriarch?
Grandpa, you can’t be biased!”
Quentin thought that Isabella meant that the previous patriarch was biased towards her.
However, in the next moment, she saw the previous patriarch actually revealed a guilty expression.
“Bella, it might be a little harsh on you. I promise that other than getting the family plaque back, I’ll
definitely get those idle people to do everything else.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuentin waited for an answer.
“Something doesn’t seem right!” thought Isabella.
Isabella also knew that Sir Graham Lockwood was being kind.
Although he was quite helpless, he still said, “Zack and Samson are still locked up in the dungeon,
Grandpa, I’ll go look for them now.”
She was constantly busy. After dealing with this matter, she would devote herself to the laboratory.
Saving Draxton was the most important thing.
“Go. You don’t have to worry about the children.”
Sir Graham Lockwood waved with a gratified expression.
Isabella said a few more words to the children before leaving
Sir Graham Lockwood turned to look at Quentin and said. “Let’s go have a game of chess”
Quentin was dragged away with a dazed expression.
Isabella went to the dungeon.
Zack and Samson were locked up. During this period of time, they did not suffer much and were not
starved. They did not dare to make a fuss. Recently, they had been afraid that the main family would be
ruthless and kill them.
When they saw that it was Isabella, their eyes were filled with fear.
Isabella was not a kind person. If she came, it might not be a for something good.
As expected, Isabella opened her mouth and said, “Do you want to die or live?”
Zack and Samson looked at each other and then secretly sized up the look on Isabella’s face.
“Of course we want to live, but will you let us go?” said Zack.
“Yes. However, on the condition that you hand over the family plaque,” Isabella said indifferently.
Zack and Samson were taken aback. Then, a meaningful smile appeared on their faces.
“I see. Haha! Isabella, you actually came for the family plaquel
“Why should we believe you? What if you kill us after we hand over the family plaque?” asked Zack.
He wasn’t going to believe Isabella that easily.
Isabella looked at them indifferently and said coldly, “You are no condition to negotiate.
“Don’t forget, members of your families are in my hands
Her words made Zack and Samson feel uneasy.
“If you really don’t kill us, are you going to let all of us go?” asked Zack.
Isabella glanced at him and said, “Didn’t I ask you just now? Whether you want to live or die, it’s your
choice.
“If I wanted to kill you, do you think I would waste my time with you right now?”
“What about in the future? What if you let us go today and take revenge in the future?” said Samson.
Isabella sneered. “Do you think you can still stay in Dawton City?
“I’ve already shown mercy by not killing you. When you leave today, you can pack your things and take
your entire family out of the country!
“From now on, your branch will no longer be able to call yourselves members of the Lockwood family!”
The two of them were expelled.
It could also be called an exile.
Although the main family did not kill them, they wanted to expel them in this way.
Zack and Samson’s faces turned pale and they seemed even a little unwilling.
“You should be glad that my children are fine. Otherwise, do you think you can still live?” said Isabella.
Killing intent flashed across her eyes, making Zack and Samson especially shocked.
Isabella marrying into Lockwood family was like adding wings to a tiger.
Zack and Samson looked a little dejected.
They were destined to be no match for the main family.
Now, he had even been exiled from the country.
“Alright, we promise you.”
The family of Zack and Samson were freed and returned home.
Isabella led the Lockwood family’s guards and arrived shortly after.
Now, Zack and Samson’s assets had long been completely devoured by North Star Group.
All they had left now was real estate.
Isabella led the Lockwood family’s guards and walked in majestically. Their family, young and old, all

Isabella casually sat down on the sofa. The Lockwood family’s guards immediately split into two rows
and stood behind her. Their sharp gazes were fixed on Zack and Samson and the others, as if he would
attack them at any time if they were dishonest.
Isabella chuckled. She felt that she looked like a mafia boss chasing after debts.
She looked at Zack and Samson. She didn’t say anything and waited quietly.
Zack and Samson looked at her deeply before turning around and entering the secret room.
Isabella gave the captain of the guards a meaningful look.
Immediately, the captain of the guards followed with a few other guards.
About 15 minutes later, Zack and Samson walked out under the watch of the guards.
Zack carried an ancient wooden box that was about 1.5 feet long. The wooden box was long and flat,
with complicated patterns carved on it. The entire wooden box emitted an ancient aura, but it was not
