Chapter 135 Fighting For Favor
Although surprised, Isabe firmly refused. "I''m afraid not. I have nothing to do with the Lang family. There''s no good reason for me to run thepany. It is not my obligation to step in. Besides, I don''t have any experience in management. You must have other reliable candidates."
Ethan looked at her nkly,
On the neighboring bed, Mrs. Lang looked at Isabe''s back, tears pouring silently from her eyes.
In the past, why had she felt that Samantha Lang was good?
Mrs. Lang couldn''t see that Samantha was clearly a mercenary, hypocritical, and heartless ingrate. Mrs. Lang had abandoned her biological daughter for this ingrate.
Now Mrs. Lang was looking at Isabe, who was calm and dispassionate. When she and Mr. Lang were in trouble, Isabe still came to see them.
If Isabe had been ordinary, she wouldn''t have missed this excellent opportunity to enter the Lang Corporation. However, she rejected it without hesitation.
Tears streamed down Mrs. Lang''s face, blurring her vision, but she still stared at Isabe''s figure without blinking. She seemed to be afraid that she would not be able to see Isabe again if she looked any less.
"I''m sorry... Mrs. Lang said in her heart.
Ethan turned to look at Draxton beside Isabe. He did not know him, but he knew that this man was unusual. Nobody would treat Draxton as amon person.
"Sir, what''s your name?"
Draxton said, "I''m Draxton Lockwood."
Draxton... Lockwood...
Ethan was stunned. In Dawton City, there was only one family with the surname of Lockwood.
Ethan had never met Draxton Lockwood before, but he knew that the patriarch of the Lockwood family was called Draxton Lockwood.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Ethan smiled bitterly in his heart.
He looked at Isabe with aplicated expression and said to Draxton, "I didn''t know you are Mr. Lockwood. I was rude. However, I have to ask you and Isabe for help now..." Draxton said, "Mr. Lang, don''t worry. If you really need our help, I will arrange for someone to help the Lang Corporation to ovee the immediate difficulties."
Ethan''s eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Draxton, who seemed to understand what the former meant. ncing at Isabe gently, Draxton said, "Everything I do, I do it for Be."
A hint of gratitude appeared in Ethan''s eyes. Then, he looked at Isabe with a gleam of gratification.
Isabe''s life had been full of misfortunes for the past twenty years. Now, she had found a boyfriend who loved her and cared about her. And her boyfriend was the patriarch of the Lockwood family.
He was not only relieved but also a little proud. She deserved to be his child. Though she had been at the bottom of her life before, she still had been outstanding.
"I am not supposed to ask you to help me with Jason''s matter. However, at this moment, I can only push my luck once I hope Mr. Lockwood will help me look for Jason. If he''s alive, I want to see him. If he''s dead, I want to see his corpse."
Draxton said, "It''s nothing."
"Thank you..."
Ethani was extremely grateful.
Isabe lowered her head and did not speak.
Draxton said to Ethan, "It''s a piece of cake. Even if it were a stranger instead of you, I would help him or her if
I could''
How could Ethan not understand what he meant? Ethan could not help but feel bitter.
Draxton would help him only out of convenience instead of because of the fact that he was Be''s father. "Mr. Lang, if there''s nothing else, Be and I will leave now."
Ethan could only nod instead of saying anything.
Out of courtesy, Draxton also nodded at Mrs. Lang, but Isabe only nced at her indifferently and left without saying a word.
Mrs. Lang struggled agitatedly again, and hysterical whimpers came from her throat.
Her eyes turned red and her heart was filled with endless regret. She had never hated people from the Thompson family so much.
They were the ones who had destroyed her family. She originally had a son and a daughter. It was the greedy people from the Thompson family who had swapped her biological daughter, keeping her separate from her daughter Isabe. In the end, that imposter had done such an unforgivable thing....
It was her fault. She had caused her son trouble and driven her daughter away. She hated it and regretted it... She was in extreme pain. She opened her eyes wide and fainted.
The nurse was terrified and quickly called for help.
The ward was in chaos again.
When Isabe and Draxton returned home, it was already veryte. They did not mention the matter concerning the Lang family anymore.
Nothing happened all night. The next morning, Isabe and Draxton were about to have breakfast when an elegant and showy blue sports car drove into the Northernville Manor.
Olivia got out of the car gracefully and swaggered in. "Oh, it smells so good. I really made it in time for breakfast."
Her naturally curly ck hair fell down to her shoulders. In the morning sun, her ck hair reflected a faint purple light.
This was amon feature of the Lockwood family people.
Draxton, Ricky, and Betty had this feature, too.
A drooling look appeared on Olivia''s fair and beautiful face. She walked in and sat down beside Isabe. She hugged Isabe''s arm and said coquettishly, "Isabe, you haven''t been to my home to y with me for a few days."
She wasining while taking a te and a fork from Cooper.
Isabe smiled. "Aren''t you not seeing me now? What? Have you been missing me?"
Isabe picked up a shrimp dumpling for her with a gentle smile.
Olivia enjoyed Isabe''s gentle feeding. Her head rubbed against Isabe''s shoulder coquettishly. "Isabe, you''re so kind. Can I call you Be instead of Isabe in the future?"
Draxton''s face turned somber.
Isabe smiled and pulled her up, saying, "Then you have to ask Draxton for permission."
Olivia''s body stiffened. Only then did she remember that Draxton was present, too.
She looked at Draxton resentfully. She felt that Draxton was an eyesore and prevented her from being together with Isabe.
Draxton was no longer in the mood to eat breakfast. He was already full of anger and was emitting cold air.
Olivia, you are old enough to find a boyfriend. Have you never thought of it?"
He questioned her coldly.
Olivia rolled her eyes at Draxton and blurted out, "Boyfriend? Can a boyfriend be more fragrant than Isabe?" Draxton''s face turned more somber. Isabe held her forehead andughed.
"You do nothing day by day. You have never helped to take care of our family''s business, but now you want to snatch Isabe from me? Olivia, have you forgotten who is providing you with such things as food, water,
etc.?"
Draxton was gritting his teeth in anger. He had been giving her money to buy food, drinks, and other things. In the end, she wanted to steal his woman. Who would want such a young sister? In any case, he didn''t want her anymore.
"You''ve met my assistant, James Beck, haven''t you? I think he''s not bad. He''s young and promising. How about a formal meeting between the two of youter?" Draxton said.
Olivia widened her eyes and said in horror, "Big Brother, my biological Big Brother, are you trying to marry me off right away? Aren''t you too petty? "James is an old fox. Do you want me to go on a blind date with him? Are you afraid that your sister will live too long?"
"If James is not good enough, then how about Connor Sanders? Coincidentally, he is old enough to get married, but hecks a wife."
It seemed as if Olivia had been about to vomit blood. "Hecks a wife, and then you want your sister to be his wife. Big Brother, you''re going too far. "Isabe, you see how bad he is. Hurry up and save me. If you don''t do anything now, your little cutie Olivia will be forced to get married!" Isabe couldn''t stopughing. She said, "Draxton, don''t bully Olivia."
After saying that, Isabe looked at Olivia. "Don''t provoke Draxton. Let''s y togetherter."
Olivia''s eyes lit up.
At this moment, Isabe''s cell phone rang. She looked down and immediately revealed a happy expression.
"I''m going to answer the phone," she said. Then, she got up and went to the balcony to answer it.
Draxton looked at Olivia unkindly with a somber expression.
However, Olivia widened her eyes warily, looking in Isabe''s direction.
She muttered, "The person who is calling Isabe seems to be a man. Her reaction..."
She suddenly turned around and looked at Draxton with sympathy in her eyes.
Draxton''s face turned even more somber. "What is your expression?"
Who was the caller?
