Chapter 503 Blood painted Yvette's face red, and she looked horrifying.
Isaac's face instantly changed. Shock filled his eyes, and the expression on his face quickly turned ferocious and ruthless. However, almost immediately, he let out a smile.
"Mr. Lockwood, what do you want from me? Didn't you say | will benefit much by getting close to her? I did as you said. So what upsets you?" Isaac looked at Mr. Lockwood.
Mr. Lockwood narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Isaac. He exhaled a puff of smoke from the cigar in his mouth and sighed. "Isaac, oh Isaac. Do you know how outrageous you look at this very moment? | don't even dare to spare your life even if | very much wanted to." As he spoke, his expression darkened slightly.
Immediately, two men in black suits stepped forward. One of them shot Isaac right in the calf without a second thought.
Isaac instantly fell to one knee on the ground.
Yvette could not help but shout, "Isaac!" Isaac cast one look at Yvette. Then, he lowered his eyes to look at his calf. There was a clear hole the bullet created where blood was oozing out.

He shook his head at Yvette.
Tears fell from Yvette's eyes in continuous streams, meeting the blood all over her face. The two looked at each other silently.
' Well, if I could be honest with you, it is not impossible if the two of you want to walk away alive." Mr. Lockwood handed the half-smoked cigar to one of his men and slowly sat upright. He looked at Yvette and said, Miss Barker seems heavily injured. Are you okay? But | have to say. You don’t look like you will die any tsoon.
"I've already told the Barker. They want to rescue you, sure. That's easy. They can take you away if they bring me, Isabella Thompson." Yvette's face changed.
Mr. Lockwood continued, "As long as they bring Isabella Thompson to me, I'll let you two little lovebirds go. Miss Barker, what do you think your family will do?" Yvette glared at him. She looked at Isaac and said, "Isaac, even if | have to die here today, so long as you are here with me, | have nothing to fear." Isaac's eyes turned red as he angrily yelled at Yvette, "You're a fool!" "If I was not a fool, would I have fallen for you?" Yvette choked out the words, "You have no idea how much | like you!" Isaac's hand began to tremble slightly. But he immediately clenched it into a fist.
"What a touching show of love and affection," Mr. Lockwood sang his compliment. Then, his face suddenly darkened, and he said, "It's tto give the Barker family a little push. If they have not decided, we can chop an arm off Miss Barker first!" Right away, someone gave Stanton Barker a call.
The Barker family.
Isabella was sunbathing on a swing in the garden when a car drove back. A bodyguard got out of the car in a hurry.
She recognized the car as one of the vehicles that rushed off with Stanton to get Yvette.
She suddenly realized that something terrible might have happened.
Isabella got up from the swing and walked over to the car. She stopped the bodyguard in his tracks and asked, 'What happened?" The bodyguard looked at Isabella solemnly and said, "Madam, Mr. Lockwood took Miss Barker away. They said...
said..." He looked at Isabella and somewhat hesitated.
Isabella said, "Why are you hemming and hawing? Are they demanding that you handover in exchange for Yvette?" The bodyguard was stunned. His expression seemed to mirror his question to her, "How did you know?" Isabella immediately knew what was going on.
She smiled gently, but the look in her eyes was somewhat cold. And she said, "In that case, | will make a trip over there." The bodyguard was unable to react instantly.

Isabella looked at him, then said, "Let's go. Why are you not moving? Drivethere!" The bodyguard opened his mouth widely, anxious to discourage her, "Madam, this won't do. You are not serious about making a trip there, are you? Won't you be pulled into this matter for nothing if you went over? | have to report this matter to Patriarch Barker.
| have to get him to send someone to save Miss Barker." With that, he hurried indoors.
Isabella pulled him back. Then, she smiled and said, "There's no need to alarm Grandpa over such a small matter. | can go alone." "Madam..." "Get moving already!" Isabella said in a low voice.
The bodyguard froze for a moment. Then, subconsciously, he got into the car obediently.
Isabella got into the back seat. While driving to Sapphire Club, the bodyguard cast discreet glances at Isabella through the rearview mirror from tto time.
Cautiously, he said, "Madam, why don’t we turn back? You are pregnant. If anything happens to you, it's the end of me.
"Besides, it's useless if you go alone! Can you fight so many of them?" Isabella tilted her head sideways as she stared out of the car window. When she heard what the man said, Isabella turned around, looked straight ahead, and said, "So, you think I'm sending myself to my doom?" The bodyguard did not say anything in response. But his expression undoubtedly betrayed his thoughts.
Isabella chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, | take my life seriously."
