The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 63 Devious Man

His wife and daughter-in-law had gone out. Even his daughter had gone out. Only he and the servants were at home. Philip felt like an old child looking after the house, hence he wanted to go out and do something fun as well.

He took his time driving, wondering if he should go to his second brother's farmhouse or third brother's herb farm.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

The car crawled like a snail to the gate, where the commotion was happening. That caught his attention.

When he saw the woman kneeling at the door and the man in the wheelchair, his relaxed expression became tensed and he froze slightly.

Upon seeing his car, the security team and the middle-aged man in the car became stern. The middle-aged man hurriedly got out of his car and walked over to Philip very carefully and respectfully. "Mr. Lockwood." He bowed slightly.

The man was a member of the country's parliament and he held a pivotal position in it. Hence, he was a distinguished figure and highly regarded. In front of the Lockwood family, however, even he had to humble himself.

Philip rolled down the window and asked, "Are they here to cause trouble?"

The middle-aged man looked conflicted and answered anxiously, "Mr. Lockwood, they said that they were looking for their daughter. They said that their daughter is..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Philip said angrily, "What daughter? That's not their daughter at all!”

The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief. He knew it.

At this moment, Philip said somberly, "That's my daughter-in-law!"

The middle-aged man instantly lost his footing and almost fell.

He looked at Philip in shock. "Mr. Lockwood, this..."

He was flabbergasted and in disbelief. How could the daughter of this scheming and money-sucking commoner marry into the Lockwood family?

Recently, there had been rumors that the chieftain of the Lockwood family, Draxton, had got married. Not only did he have a wife now, but he also a son. Despite this, the middle-aged man was still unable to relate the Chieftain's wife of the Lockwood family to this unsightly couple in front of him!

Philip's eyes shifted and muttered to himself, "It's time for me to do something now!"

He was secretly delighted but got out of the car with a straight face.

With his long legs and shiny leather shoes, he strode over to the Thompson couple.

The Thompson couple widened their eyes in astound as they looked up at Philip. He had an aura far more imposing than the Lang family. Even the Rivera family was unable to hold a candle to him. When it came to the Lang family or the Rivera family, one could immediately tell that they were wealthy. However, with this man, it was more than that. One could not help but develop a sense of reverence for him

from within.

They did not even dare to look him in the eye.

However, Philip was determined to help his daughter-in-law and win some praise from his wife.

He stood in front of the couple in an awe-inspiring manner and asked in a stern voice, "Have you come here to stir up trouble for my daughter-in-law?"

Oh, that was a good question!

The nimble reporters immediately took out their devices. They were recording, filming, and taking photographs to capture this scene,

Philip glanced at the reporters. He was secretly pleased with himself. "Hmph, go ahead and film. The more you film, the more credit I'll get!"

Upon hearing Philip's question, Mrs. Thompson was stunned and could not react for a moment.

Mr. Thompson, on the other hand, was so anxious that he started to move restlessly, and make choking sounds in his throat.

Mrs. Thompson quickly came to her senses. She looked at Philip cautiously and asked, "What are you saying. Mr. Lockwood? We're here to look for our daughter!"

At this point, her face grimaced with sorrow. "After our daughter, Isabella Thompson, married into a wealthy. family, she turned her back on her parents who raised her. We are at our wit's end now and just wanted to beg my daughter to save us!"

She sounded very pitiful.

Philip listened to Mrs. Thompson's sophistry, and his eyes darkened. "What a coincidence. My daughter-in-law's name is Isabella Thompson."

Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Thompson were stunned.

Did this charismatic man just say that Isabella was his daughter-in-law?

How was it possible?

This charismatic man looked so young, and yet he claimed to be Isabella's father-in-law. Then, did it mean that his son is even younger and good-looking? Although Isabella had married into a rich family, they had all along assumed that she must have married a middle-aged man with a big belly.

But now, they suddenly realized that this might not be the case at all.

Exasperation filled Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Thompson's chests.

How could their useless daughter marry into such a rich family?

They were not convinced!

Mrs. Thompson immediately put on her best acting skills. "Mr. Lockwood, so you are our in-laws."

It was hard to greet him as her in-law, but the show must go on.

Mrs. Thompson's started crying. Her face turned pale, and her lips went pale as well. This was not an act, she was just too overpowered by Philip's aura.

"Please, on the account that we're in-laws, let us meet Isabella. As parents, no matter what our daughter does to us, we don't blame her. We just want to see her once. Just once. After all, we have raised her on what little money we have. We don't want anything. We just w

The reporters were crazily filming away. They were extremely excited. This was an epic moment and a big topic. This was breaking news. They had already thought of a hundred headlines for this.

Philip looked perplexed as he slowly said, "But my daughter-in-law is especially timid. Whenever she mentions you, she will be frightened to tears. I heard that she's just your adopted daughter. I don't know what terrifying things you've done to her. Yesterday, she even had a nightmare and was begging you guys to let her go.”

When he finished, Philip sighed inadvertently.

He continued. "My wife took her out early in the morning. She had a bad scare and a walk would do her good."

'I was just about to ask you. Although you guys were the ones who swapped her out in the first place, just what did you do to her?"

As he spoke, he looked at Mr. Thompson. "This must be Mr. Thompson, right? Sigh, Bella was just saying yesterday that she could not understand why Mr. Thompson would want to knock her over with the car You are her father, after all. She was lucky enough to avert the disaster, but she did not expect Mr. Thompson to crash the car Bella still feels so dejected just thinking about it."

"Mr. Thompson, I want to ask you too. Why do you want to kill Bella?"

"The reason you guys are here today, are you trying to harm Bella again?"

"Or, are you regretful of your actions and have come to repent?"

"But that won't do. Murder is against the law. Although Bella is kind and does not want to pursue this matter with you and your wife, our Lockwood family won't let this matter go lightly. After all, just like every nation has its laws and order, so does a family. A life for a life. Although your attempt to murder is not successful,

you still have to bear the legal responsibility!"

Two cars drove back one after another and finally stopped side by side. Olivia rolled down her car window and widened her eyes in bewilderment. She called out to Jeanne, who was in the other car, "Mom, is that devious-looking man really my father?"
