Chapter 59 Don’t Hurt Your Hand
Jeanne Lockwood’s heart ached as she looked at Isabella Thompson. Why did such a good child have to
experience such things?
She was clearly the daughter of a rich family, but she was swapped the moment she was born.
Jeanne heard that Isabella’s biological parents were also untrustworthy. They sided with their adopted
daughter and treated Isabella as an enemy.
Jeanne held Isabella’s hand and said softly, “Bella, what’s passed has passed. Don’t mind them. Now,
you have me, Draxton, and many family members who care about you. And Ricky, too. You are now our
little princess. No one can hurt you.”
Jeanne’s words undoubtedly gave Isabella comfort and affirmation.
Isabella knew what she was trying to convey and was extremely touched. She held Jeanne’s hand and
smiled. “Mom, don’t worry. I know you’re all on my side.”
“Good girl!” Jeanne admired Isabella for her good nature.
Samantha’s expression was a little stiff. Her eyes were fixed on Jeanne and Isabella’s clasped hands.
She had tried so hard, but why did the woman still choose to trust Isabella?
Wouldn’t normal people have doubted Isabella by now?
Why did she treat Isabella better even after all that she had said?
Unwilling to give up, Samantha bit her lower lip and hatred flashed in her eyes. Why was Isabella this
lucky?
She had to seize this opportunity today. Even if she could not successfully sow discords between them,
she wanted to cause trouble for Isabella.
Samantha wore the mask of an obedient girl. It was what she used to please the members of the Lang
family. Her eyes were slightly red as she said aggrievedly, “Madams, don’t be angry. You might have
some misunderstanding about me. Isabella Thompson and I had been swapped, but I was just a
newborn. I didn’t know anything. I also wanted to stay by my biological parents’ side, but I was powerless
to change what they did.
“Although I became the young lady of the Lang family, my biological parents have also raised Isabella
Thompson. Even if she has any complaints, she shouldn’t have crashed into my father and gotten him
hospitalized. That’s her father too.
“Isabella Thompson, I know that you might have some unspeakable past. You don’t want the two
madams to know your background, but Dad raised you. How can you be so heartless as to do that? Will
you treat mom the same as you’ve done to dad?”
What an interesting thing to say.
Isabella smiled faintly and looked at Samantha, intrigued. “Oh? Then tell me, what unspeakable past do I
have?”
The smile on Jeanne’s face disappeared. She did not speak. Instead, she looked at Samantha and
waited for her to speak up.
Loraine didn’t say anything and just looked at Samantha.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLawrence had been waiting for Samantha to finish her business with the ladies, but some time had
passed. It didn’t seem like the conversation was going to end any sooner. Hence, he walked up to where
she was.
“Sam, did something happen?” Lawrence’s mellow voice sounded in Samantha’s ear.
Samantha could feel his powerful aura when he stood beside her. It almost made her feel breathless.
Lawrence thought that Isabella would react normally as other girls would when they see him. That she
would be bashful and all. However, he realized that Isabella had ignored his existence completely.
It was as if his appearance did not matter to Isabella.
Samantha bit her lip and looked at Lawrence, her eyes glistening. She shook her head at him and said,
“Lawrence, it’s nothing. I just wanted to ask some questions. I’m done. Let’s go.”
After saying that, she turned to Jeanne and the others. “My apologies for intruding.”
Then she turned around to leave.
“Wait.” A slothful voice sounded. It was Isabella.
Samantha stopped in her tracks and looked at Isabella, her expression even more pitiful.
Lawrence did not take this kindly. He took a glimpse at Isabella. He thought, “The audacity of this woman
to treat Samantha like that.” He liked Samantha, hence he felt Isabella was behaving too haughtily.
Isabella did not even spare him a glance. She just treated him like air, but her icy gaze was fixed on
Samantha. “Finish what you started. Explain yourself.”
Samantha’s eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. To her, it seemed like Isabella
was afraid.
She thought she had finally seized Isabella’s weakness and couldn’t help but feel triumphant. She said
awkwardly. “Isabella Thompson, why do you want to escalate the matter? You crashed and hit Dad. I will
definitely pursue this matter. But let’s not do this in public.”
Isabella had the urge to punch her.
She really had no tolerance for Samantha. The members of the Lockwood family were nothing like
Samantha. Unlike her, they were straightforward and honest. Isabella really couldn’t stand a two-faced
bitch like Samantha.
Isabella was really having trouble trying to control her urge to punch Samantha.
However, it seemed like someone felt the same
Olivia stood up abruptly and strutted toward Samantha. As he walked, he smiled and said, “It doesn’t
matter if it doesn’t look good. Tell me, what kind of unspeakable past does my sister-in-law have?”
Samantha’s eyes lit up. It was apparent that the girl in front of her was a high-status socialite, and she
was also Isabella’s sister-in-law. She thought everything was going according to her plan. Once
Isabella’s mother-in-law and sister-in-law started to suspect her, she wouldn’t be able to lead an easy life.
Samantha pretended to be hesitant.
Olivia raised her brows and urged her to speak up.
Samantha pursed her lips and said, “Five years ago, Isabella Thompson spent a night with an old man.
Then after that, she ran away…”
H
She left her sentence unfinished, but it was obvious what she was referring to.
She was proud of herself. So what if Isabella Thompson married into a wealthy family because she gave
birth to a little bastard? It was still uncertain who the father of that child was.
Samantha didn’t think Isabella could still live blithely afterward.
Just as she was feeling smug, she heard Olivia ask, “Is what you said true?”
Samantha nodded her head. “I saw it in person…”
“Is that so?” Olivia’s expression darkened slightly.
“Yes…”
“Slap!”
The slap had come without warning. Samantha wanted to say something, but that slap forced her words
back
The slap was swift and brutal. Samantha was dumbstruck, not to mention Lawrence.
Lawrence least expected the slap from the girl who looked like she belonged to the upper class.
Clutching her cheek with one hand, Samantha looked at Olivia, startled. Her lips trembled, but she could
not say anything.
Olivia rubbed her hands. “I’ve wanted to do this. Did you not brush your teeth this morning? Your breath
stinks. Let this be a lesson. Don’t even try and slander my sister-in-law. If you ever appear before me, I’ll
slap you again. Now scrarn!”
Olivia glared at Samantha ferociously.
Tears welled up in Samantha’s eyes. She hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.

Lawrence narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Olivia “Miss, this is unbecoming of a lady!”
Olivia sneered, “Why does that matter when dealing with people like her?”
It seemed Lawrence was quite proficient in their native language. When he heard this, his eyes could not
help but darken, revealing a trace of hostility.
‘Miss, you’d better apologize to her, or else…”
Olivia snickered, “Or else what?”
Lawrence’s gaze was becoming increasingly dangerous.
Jeanne and Loraine weren’t easy people either. They were afraid that Olivia might be at a disadvantage
hence they wanted to help her out. At this moment, Isabella stood up first and walked over.
Jeanne quickly pulled her back. “Bella, don’t. You can’t beat him…”
Isabella did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Mom, don’t worry.”
Jeanne had an inexplicable trust in her. Seeing that Isabella was confident, she did not stop her.
Isabella walked over to Olivia, who turned around and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid. I’ll stand up for
you. I won’t let anyone bully you!”
Samantha’s face contorted with indignation.
How could there be such a sister-in-law? Under normal circumstances, wouldn’t they usually be at each
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmother’s throats?
Moreover, she had already revealed Isabella’s dark past.
Isabella gazed at Olivia affectionately. She held Olivia’s hand and gently rubbed it. “Does your hand
hurt?”
What?
Her midnight blue eyes widened as she stared at Isabella.
Isabella reproached her, “Does it hurt? How can you hit someone with your hand?”
Olivia was a little confused by Isabella’s sudden tenderness. She blushed and said, “Then, what should I
use?”
Isabella said, “You can kick her. Or you can just whip her with something. For example…”
As she spoke, Isabella took off the ornamental belt on her waist and whipped Samantha on the other
side of her face.
“Ah!” Samantha let out a scream and retreated, her appearance unkempt.
Lawrence grabbed the belt from Isabella, his expression cold. His purple eyes stared at her dangerously
and said, “Miss, enough is enough.”
Isabella smiled and looked at him. She snatched back her belt. “Lawrence Docker!”
Lawrence’s expression changed.
He widened his eyes in shock and looked at her. “You, you know me?”
“The youngest earl in the Violet family, a noble family with hundreds of years of history. Rumor has it that
you have so many girlfriends that they can circle the entire globe, but I didn’t expect you to have such
low standards,” Isabella mocked.
Lawrence looked at her in shock. He realized that this woman’s identity was not simple.
Although his identity was not confidential, few would dare point out his identity in Etrulia, let alone in
Lucsia. Samantha was appalled that Isabella actually knew Lawrence and his background. Most
importantly, Samantha was furious that Isabella despised her.
She felt extremely humiliated. She was the eldest daughter of the Lang family, and Isabella was just a
child raised by commoners.
She couldn’t help but wonder if genes and bloodlines were truly that important.
Then Isabella did something that no one expected.
She raised her hand and shoved Lawrence away. Lawrence was still in a daze when that happened. His
tall body staggered slightly and he took a few steps back.
At the same time, Isabella swung the belt in her hand again and continued to whip the other half of
Samantha’s face.
“Whup!” Another raised mark appeared on Samantha’s cheeks.
Everyone was stunned.
Isabella turned around and smiled at Olivia. “Olivia, look carefully. Don’t hurt your hand when you hit
someone. Remember to use a tool!”
Then, she threw the belt into the trash can, as if she had touched something filthy.
