Chapter 25 Isabel Was Still Alive

“Mr. Lockwood, are you really going to marry Miss Thompson?” asked Alan curiously. Alan and Martin had always been curious about that matter.

Draxton glanced at them and replied nonchalantly, “Do I look like I’m joking?”

Mr. Lockwood certainly looked serious about it.

Since Alan and Martin knew that Mr. Lockwood always meant what he said, they could not help but feel astonished at his decision to marry the woman.

Draxton looked at them and said, “Isabella is not as bad as you think.”

“Mr. Lockwood, please forgive me for being frank. But very few women in the world are worthy of you, and Isabella certainly is not one of those women.”

Draxton shook his head in response as he said, “That’s just your opinion. It isn’t mine.”

Seeing that they wanted to continue with the topic, Draxton cut the conversation short and said, “Enough. You may get back to work.”

Alan and Martin looked at each other and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, in the room, Isabella was chatting with Jocelyn.

In the video call, Jocelyn’s face was filled with complete shock.

“Bella, can you say that again? Where are you now?”

Jocelyn could not believe her ears at all.

Isabella said again, “Master Grey, you heard me right. I’m really at Draxton’s place at Northernville Manor.”

“This is such mind-blowing news, Bella.”

Jocelyn could not hold back her shock.

“He wants to marry me and make Ricky his heir,” said Isabella, with a slight laugh, dropping yet another bomb on Jocelyn.

Jocelyn went quiet for a couple of seconds. Then, she asked, “Did you use artificially-cultured poisonous bugs on him?”

Isabella replied, “I would never dare to do that to him. The man can’t be controlled in that way.”

“Does this mean he fell for your charm? Well done! Before he met you, he hated you to the core. But the moment he sees you, he wants to marry you and take you home for himself.”
