The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Mrs. Lang looked daggers at Mr. and Mrs. Thompson. “Didn’t we strike a deal when we met in the hotel yesterday?

“Sammy will still be our daughter, and we agree to let her visit you from time to time. So why did Sammy say that she was going to leave us? What did you say to her?”

To Mrs. Lang, Samantha was an excellent girl, and she thought that the Thompson family had come to take

Samantha away from her.

She couldn’t bear the thought of leaving Samantha and

would not allow that to happen.

Mr. Thompson was at a loss for words. Mrs. Thompson waved her hand and said, “Nothing. We didn’t say anything to her. Please don’t get us wrong, madam.”

As she spoke, she cast a pointed glance at Isabella from the

corners of her eyes.

Mrs. Lang followed her gaze and saw the wordless Isabella. She was instantly gripped by a wave of annoyance.

Knitting her brows impatiently, Mrs. Lang gave Isabella a scathing look and asked in a steely voice, “It’s you, right? What did you say to Sammy?”

Isabella didn’t reply and just stared at Mrs. Lang in silence.

Samantha choked, “It has nothing to do with Miss Thompson. She didn’t say anything to me. I just think it’s the right thing to do.”

She looked so sad, but her eyes were clear, and her voice was firm when she continued, “Mom, the last thing I want to

do is leave you and Dad, but Miss Thompson is your biological daughter, after all. So I think I’d better move in with the Thompson family.

“I would be grateful if Miss Thompson could allow me to come back to see you and Dad when I miss you.”

Mrs. Lang couldn’t believe her ears and looked at Samantha

nervously.

Ethan said in a disapproving tone, “That’s nonsense, Sammy. We have agreed on this matter. You will be the daughter of the Lang family forever. Anyone who has the nerve to force you to leave will be making enemies with us!”

As he spoke, his eyes flicked to Isabella, and he gave her a

warning glare.

Mrs. Lang gathered her thoughts and said, “Sammy, in our hearts, you are our only daughter. We don’t want anyone

else but you!”

Mrs. Lang’s eyes glinted with determination. She would rather not have given birth to Isabella so that she wouldn’t be able to harm Samantha and force her to leave.

Mr. and Mrs. Thompson kept quiet but were gloating inside.

They then carried on with the charade.

Mrs. Thompson said, “Sir, madam, I know Sammy is the apple of your eye, but she is our daughter too. Maybe we should correct this mistake and switch the two girls back. We can stay in touch in the future.”

“How can you go back on your word?”

Those words made Mrs. Lang’s blood boil. She glowered at Mrs. Thompson and swung Samantha behind her, fearing. that Samantha would be taken away the next second.

She looked like a hen protecting her chick. Anyone would be touched by the great maternal love she was manifesting.

However, Isabella still looked indifferent.

Her eyes were pitch–dark, and she wanted to engrave everything they said and did on her mind so that she would never forget this day.

“T–That’s not what I meant,” Mrs. Thompson stuttered and shook her head while shooting Isabella concerned glances. She made it look as though she was doing all this for

Isabella.

Mrs. Lang took the hint and flared up. “I’ve got the wrong idea? If you didn’t mean those words, why did you say them?

“Listen carefully, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson. The daughter of the Lang family will only be Sammy. We won’t let anyone

take her place!”

Mrs. Thompson made a show of looking helpless and lowered her head to conceal her triumphant expression.

Isabella’s lips broke into an ironic smile, and she suddenly. cut in, “Mrs. Lang, there’s no need to freak out. Samantha wouldn’t leave the Lang family even if you beat her with a

stick.

“You think we were swapped by accident? It was all the

Thompsons‘ scheme to make their daughter grow up as the

lady of the Lang family. They would do anything to keep Samantha under the wings of the Lang family.

“Everything they said and did was just a gambit to ensure.

you don’t kick Samantha out.”

“Bella!”

Mrs. Thompson opened her eyes wide and looked at Isabella in disbelief. Her astonishment was not feigned because she

had never expected Isabella to see through her.
