The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Taken For A Maid

Amelia furrowed her brow. Then, she took out her cell phone and gave Cooper a call.

Once the call got through, Amelia snapped. “Cooper, what’s the big idea? Why did you shut my daughter out? Are you getting too old to do the butler job?”

On the other end of the phone, Cooper’s face hardened after his working abilities were doubted.

“Mrs. Hart, Mr. Lockwood has never suspected my working abilities,” he said, still in a polite tone, though with a tinge of caution.

Amelia threw a tantrum. “As expected, you’re frail! You should call me Madame Lockwood! Don’t forget I’m Mr. Lockwood’s aunt!”

When she was shouting, she emphasized the word “Lockwood.”

Cooper stayed calm.

Amelia’s husband’s surname was Hart, so it was only natural to call her Mrs. Hart.

The problem was that everyone wanted to be related to the Lockwood family. So even if they had absolutely nothing to do with the Lockwood family, they still wanted to make up a connection between them, let alone Amelia was indeed related to the Lockwood family.

She was a very distant relative, though. She almost had no blood connection with the Lockwood family.

Cooper stayed silent.

Cooper’s silence made Amelia think that Cooper finally understood Amelia’s standing.

She took a long breath. Then, looking at Sophia, who was outside the gate, she shouted in a fury, “My daughter was shut out, didn’t you hear? This is how you work? Do you think I dare not report this to Mr. Lockwood?”

Cooper explained in a calm tone, “Madame Lockwood, you just said that you came here to say hi to Mr. Lockwood. You didn’t mention anything about your daughter being with you.

“Therefore, your daughter has no right to enter Northernville Manor.”

After Amelia heard this, her face contorted. Then, in a fury, she vehemently thundered, “Cooper, you’re just a servant! How dare you talk to me like this!

“Do you know my father, Nathan Lockwood? Do you know how he died back then?

“He died saving the last chieftain!

“How is it that you, a servant, dare to talk to a savior of the Lockwood family this way?

“Does Mr. Lockwood know you talk to me like this? Aren’t you afraid Mr. Lockwood will chase you out of the Lockwood family?”

Amelia’s shrill voice oozed through the phone into Draxton’s ears. Draxton frowned and said to Cooper, “Let them in.”

After receiving the order, Cooper nodded slightly and said, “Madame Lockwood, you can take your daughter in now.”

Cooper hung up the phone, and his face hardened.

Draxton’s eyes cast down. No one could read his expression.

Before Draxton knew it, Alan and Martin had entered the room.

“Amelia and the Hart family have skimmed a lot off you. I guess even they themselves don’t know how much money they’ve gotten from you.

“I mean, sure, Nathan saved the last chieftain in the past, but I think we’ve repaid them for that. “And last time we saved Sophia, so we’re even now.

“But Amelia harps on the whole saving the last chieftain thing and does whatever she wants. It’s ridiculous!”

On the other side of the manor, Amelia, followed by Sophia, complacently walked into Northernville Manor and strode toward the living room.

Along the way, Amelia looked at her beautifully–dressed daughter and nodded in satisfaction.

‘Sophie, you’re gorgeous! I bet Mr. Lockwood will be swept off his feet by you!

“Remember, if you can manage to become his secretary, you’ll get a chance to be close to him. That way, you have time to work your magic, alright?

“You got to seize this opportunity!”

Sophia combed her hair with her hand and narrowed her eyes in a quirky smile.

“I know, Mom, you’ve said so many times! Mr. Lockwood saved me, and now we fall in love. How romantic!”

“What a silly girl!”

Amelia pretended to scold Sophia, but she was confident about her daughter’s charm.
