Chapter 142 Complaining To Isabella
The two of them came out one after another. Ethan, who came out first, looked ahead and saw the
people in the private room opposite.
He called out in surprise, “Uncle! Cousin!”
As soon as he said that, Olivia, who was behind him, looked over. She also saw the person in the private
room opposite.
She was not surprised by the people of the Lockwood family. She already knew that they would come,
but she was also surprised by the presence of the Riker family.
However, she quickly understood something. A trace of mockery flashed across her eyes, but she did not
speak.
The two of them naturally entered the private room opposite. Ethan’s gentle face was currently frowning.
He looked at Lindon and Shane and said, “Uncle, cousin, why are you here?”
Shane did not say anything. Lindon smiled and quipped, “What are you talking about? Why can’t we be
here? “We also happened to come to Savor for dinner. We came over to greet the kids from the
Lockwood family when we saw them here.
Why? Have you and Olivia finished eating so soon?”
Ethan’s furrowed brows did not relax. He looked deeply at Lindon and Shane and said, “Olivia and I are
just catching up.”
Lindon smiled kindly and did not answer Ethan. Instead, he looked at Olivia and said with a smile,
“Olivia, after dinner, ask Ethan to accompany you for a walk. You two grew up together. You should have
plenty of things to talk about.”
Olivia was disgusted. After spending the morning together, she understood Ethan’s attitude. Fortunately,
he was a frank person.
Lindon’s words disgusted her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Riker, don’t worry about us. Ethan and I have already said everything
that needs to be said.”
Her smile was plastered and indifferent. After saying that, she did not look at Lindon anymore, feeling he
did not deserve it.
Lindon did not let it go. He smiled at Olivia and said, “You’ve all grown up. Don’t be shy.”
Olivia’s face was ashen.
She could not help but look at her siblings and shoot them a questioning glance.
She wanted to ask, “What are these two disgusting fellows doing here?”
Yale instantly understood the message from Olivia’s gaze. She smiled and said, “Olivia, I heard from Mr.
Riker that Isabella is also having her meal at Savor.”
Olivia’s eyes were filled with joy. Before she could speak, Lindon sighed and interrupted, “Olivia, you’re
Draxton’s sister. I really don’t know how to tell you some things.”
Yale was instantly displeased. She glared at him and said, “Mr. Lockwood, look at what you’re saying.
You are saying Olivia is his sister. Do you mean that we are outsiders, then?”
Lindon quickly said, “That’s not what I meant. After all, Olivia and Draxton are from the main branch.”
Yale chuckled softly but said nothing.
Olivia had already lost her patience with Lindon. Her face turned gloomy as she said, “Mr. Riker, if you
have anything to say, say it. Isabella is here to have a meal. What does it have to do with my Big
Brother?”
After saying that, she glanced sideways at Lindon with a disdainful smile.
Actually, she knew very well that it must be because of Jake. Lindon was planning to frame Isabell and
ruin her reputation.
Lindon pretended to sigh. “Actually, it’s nothing. Maybe I misunderstood. I saw Isabella being intimate
with
an unknown man…”
“I wonder, how intimate is the intimate posture that you keep mentioning?”
Suddenly, a mocking voice appeared and interrupted Lindon.
Lindon was alarmed. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Isabella standing at the door with a
man.
Isabella crossed her arms and leaned against the stranger’s shoulder. Almost her entire body weight was
on
the man.
That man was like a wall. He stood rooted to the ground without moving. His face was expressionless.
His eyes were dark and cold, and a faint murderous aura kept pouring out of that man.
The corner of Lindon’s eyes twitched. Shane’s expression changed slightly as a bad thought flashed
across his mind.
Isabella’s expression was cold and beautiful. Her lifted lips looked both mocking and evil. She did not
hide her disgust at all and looked at Lindon coldly.
Lindon tried to tear their relationship apart but failed. He could only sound like he was trying to advise
Isabella, “Isabella, don’t forget your identity. You’re patriarch’s wife. How can you do something like this?
The Lockwood family has lost their reputation because of you.”
“It’s not up to an outsider to comment on the Lockwood family’s reputation.”
She changed her position and hooked her arms around Jake Quillon’s neck. This position was like they
were best friends. However, Isabella looked at Lindon even more teasingly and asked, “Is this what you
meant by intimate?”
Lindon’s face was ashen.
“Pfft!” Yale could not help but chuckle. The others could not hide the amusement in their eyes. Looking at
Lindon’s ugly expression, they felt good.
Anyone with eyes could tell that the relationship between Isabella and that man was merely friends.
The atmosphere between them was subtle. If there were really something between Isabella and that
man, the atmosphere between them would definitely not be like this.
Yale walked intimately to Isabella’s side. Her midnight blue almond-shaped eyes were as moist and

outsiders’ accusations.”
She was obedient and soft. Compared to Olivia’s liveliness, this girl was clearly more gentle and
adorable.
Isabella looked at Yale with a smile. She let go of Jake and squeezed Yale’s little hand. “What a good
girl.”
Yale’s cheeks immediately flushed red.
Olivia’s eyes widened. She quickly approached Isabella and stood between the two of them. “Yale, didn’t
you hear what Mr. Riker said just now? Isabella is my sister-in-law. You two are nobody. Stand aside.”
Then, she took Isabella for herself.
Yale was displeased as she looked at Isabella aggrievedly.
Isabella looked helpless. Yale looked cute, but her actions were not gentle at all. She pushed Olivia to
the side domineeringly and held Isabella’s hand. Then, she spoke.
“Sister-in-law, let me tell you. Just now, Mr. Riker said he wanted Big Brother to arrange jobs for us. You
have to stand up for us. We’re so afraid!”
Her words were her true feelings, and tears shimmered in her eyes. She had to play games, watch
videos, do beauty treatments, and collect rent daily. She didn’t even have enough time and was already
very busy. If she was assigned to other jobs, how could she live?
Yes! She was a landlady.
Yale had bought a lot of properties for herself a long time ago and collected a lot of rent every month.
She did not need to be tired from going to work at all. She just needed to lie down every day and wait for
the rent to be paid.
Besides, she still had a lot of shares in the family business. Every year, she would get a lot of dividends.
Why should she work?
