The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 29 A Lot Of Good Opportunities

Benjamin smiled and said humbly, "That's right. You see, we are from the Lockwood family as well."

Isabella nodded. "Oh, I see. I still have to thank you for helping me earlier."

"You're welcome. It was the least I could do," said Benjamin.

Draxton looked at them and asked, "Which branch are you from?"

Benjamin replied, "Chieftain, we are in charge of the Landow district."NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"Is he your son?" asked Draxton as he looked at Daniel.

Without wasting a second, Benjamin said, "Yes, that's right. His name is Daniel Lockwood. He just came back from studying abroad in Avon. Although he is still young and has little experience, he is an honest man at heart. The Landow district isn't suitable for young people. I was hoping to find a bigger platform for him so he could develop his career. It doesn't matter even if he has to work from the lowest level." Draxton scrutinized Benjamin. Even though the man had a down-to-earth appearance, he was a shrewd man. He came from the Landow district with limited resources, so that was as far as people could get. If they wanted to improve, they really needed the right platform.

It was human nature for him to help his son carve a better future as a father.

Draxton was not worried about open and veiled infighting. Instead, as long as it was healthy competition and served the family well, he could accept and tolerate them. Sometimes, he would even encourage it. "Daniel Lockwood, right? You can start working at North Star Group tomorrow. Someone will make arrangements for you," said Draxton.

His tone sounded casual. The moment he finished his sentence, he held Isabella's hand and walked into the private room.

Benjamin was exhilarated upon hearing the mind-blowing news.

Daniel was also very thrilled by the unexpected opportunity. He glanced at his father, who was still in shock. Then, he said, "Chieftain, thank you for giving me the chance. I promise to work hard. I won't fail you!" Draxton didn't even bother to reply to them.

When the door of the private room was closed, Benjamin and Daniel finally recovered from their astonishment and joy.

"Daniel, where did the chieftain tell you to report for work tomorrow?" muttered Benjamin in disbelief. Daniel swallowed his saliva and said, "Dad, the chieftain wants me to work at North Star Group. I'm reporting there tomorrow!"

North Star Group was an important company belonging to Lockwood Group. Even the lowest-ranking employees of the company lived in far better accommodations than anyone else in the clan. Moreover, entering North Star Group meant getting into Lockwood Group's nucleus of power. If people performed well, they might one day get to work directly under the chieftain. It was no different from rising to the sky career-wise!

Daniel pinched his thigh hard. When he felt the pain, he finally smiled happily and looked satisfied, knowing that he was not dreaming.

"Dad, we certainly made the right move back there. Sure enough, it was a good idea to get close to that lady." Benjamin slapped his son's forehead. "What nonsense are you saying? You shouldn't talk behind her back, okay? Let's go!"

Benjamin pulled Daniel to leave.

Daniel said, "Dad, shouldn't we go inside and thank the chieftain properly? Perhaps we should buy them dinner."

Benjamin glared at his son for his foolishness. "You idiot! Can't you use your brain? Do you want to go there and play gooseberry?"

Daniel shrank his neck when his father scolded him. "You're right, Dad. I just got so excited that I forgot." "But we do have to buy the chieftain dinner as a gesture of our appreciation. Let's go get the bill for his private room," he added.

As Benjamin and Daniel chatted, they walked over to the cashier to settle the bill for Draxton's private room. Meanwhile, Samantha was sent to the hospital to get treatment.

Isabella had slapped Samantha until her face was terribly swollen, so she probably wouldn't want to see

anyone for now.

"Rest well. I'll come over tomorrow to visit," said Cristian. After taking care of Samantha, Cristian was about to turn around and leave.

Samantha held his hand with her teary eyes. She asked in a sorrowful tone, "Am I so ugly now?"

Cristian turned his head to Samantha and said gently, "Samantha, have you lost all your confidence? Stop imagining things. Just have a good night's sleep. You'll be better tomorrow." "Cristian, I have to stay at the hospital ali by myself tonight. I'm scared," said Samantha.

Her tone sounded sad and depressed.

Cristian used to compromise and indulge her, but this time, he said, "Samantha, it's getting late. Rest well tonight. You're in a safe place, so don't worry. I will tell a nursing staff to keep an extra close eye on you. "I have something to handle today. I will stop by in the morning to check on you. All right?"

Samantha looked at him carefully before she nodded. She forced a smile as she said, "Okay then. See you tomorrow."

"Have a good night's rest." Cristian only said a few words before he turned and left the hospital ward.

When Samantha was all alone in the hospital ward, the kind and reserved façade on her face disappeared. Her face was contorted.

She didn't expect Isabella to be still alive.

What was more, Isabella had unexpectedly become very combative. She was unable to find any weakness in Isabella.

But then again, Isabella had no family, so she naturally had no weakness.

Still, Samantha could not believe Cristian's unusual attitude toward Isabella.

Despite Cristian's usual grace and gentle temperament, Samantha could sense that something was different about the way he treated her.

A woman's sixth sense was always accurate.

Something had changed about Cristian, and it was all Isabella's fault.

When she saw the way Cristian looked at Isabella at Savor, she could not help feeling worried.

In Samantha's heart, she was not related to the Lang family by blood. If she married into the Rivera family

and became Mrs. Rivera, she could become a woman of high society.

The Rivera family was more powerful than the Lang family. If she became Mrs. Rivera, her status would be far higher than her current status as the daughter of the Lang family. Word had it that Cristian's mother was from the Lockwood family.

Since she was from the Lockwood family, she was more or less related to the Lockwood Group.

Everyone wished that they were from the Lockwood family. They all wanted to be connected to the powerful clan.

Even if they were slightly connected to the Lockwood family, they could stand to get a lot of opportunities out

of it.

The Lang family could not compare to the Rivera family in terms of wealth and status.

"Isabella Thompson, if you dare ruin my plans, I will personally make sure to make you disappear from the world for good. Once you are dead, I can finally live in peace."

As she pondered, she took out her phone and made a call.

After Cristian walked out of the hospital, he saw that Regina was still around. She was standing beside the car. When she saw Cristian, she asked in a surprised tone, "Big Brother, what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you spend more time and keep Sam company?"

Cristian replied. "She has already gone to bed."

After getting into the car, Regina remained furious about the incident. "I can't believe everything that happened today. That woman... No, wait. Her name is Isabella Thompson, right? She was too much! How could she attack Sam?"

Cristian remarked, "Gina, has it dawned on you? When the Thompson and Rivera families agreed on the marriage before we were born, the ones who should have gotten married were Isabella and I?" Images of Isabella flashed through Cristian's mind along with her naughty smile. He could not help feeling something different about himself when it came to Isabella.

"Whatever it is, I am so glad that they were swapped at birth. Otherwise, Isabella would have to marry into the Rivera family!"

Regina suddenly paused and tilted her head sideways, looking at Cristian in disbelief. She said in a huff, "Big Brother, what has gotten into you? Don't tell me you have a thing for that crazy girl!"
