Chapter 272 Sir Graham Lockwood’s Support
“Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about the patriarch’s wife,” Isabella said.
“You have a good personality,” said Quentin. “But you don’t understand the situation”
Isabella stopped talking.
Her lips twitched as she concentrated on driving
After a moment of silence in the car, Quentin asked again. “Young lady, who’s your husband?”
Isabella did not reply immediately.
She was silent for a moment before saying. “He’s from the Lockwood family.”
“Oh?” Quentin exclaimed in surprise. “Which branch of the family has such good fortune? Tell me, whose
family are you from?”
Quentin was feeling very curious.
Isabella was worried that if she told the truth, the old man would jump out of the car on the spot.
Hence, she pointed ahead and said, “Sir, we’ve arrived at the Lockwood family’s residence.”
The gate of the Lockwood family’s residence sensed Isabella’s car and automatically slid open. There
was no need for her to announce herself.
“Young lady, do you come to this residence often?”
Quentin knew very well that if an outsider’s car wanted to enter the Lockwood family’s residence, it had
to go through a thorough security check on the spot before it was allowed to enter.
However, Isabella’s car was allowed to drive in without any checks.
“Yes, quite often,” replied Isabella.
Quentin was a little stunned. A thought flashed across his mind, but it was only for a second. He did not
think too deeply about it.
Isabella and Quentin entered the house together. They did not even knock on the door.
Sir Graham Lockwood was playing with Ricky and Betty in the living room.
The two young children did not cause the adults to worry about them, unlike other children. They were
obedient and sensible. Most of the time, it was the two young children who ended up feeling very
exasperated because of their great-grandpa. They had to pacify their great-grandpa instead.
When Isabella came in, she saw Sir Graham Lockwood playing the fool with the children.
Isabella could not help but laugh. The two children were very sharp and immediately noticed her. They
immediately pushed their great-grandpa aside and ran toward Isabella.
“Mommy!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two little children had called out in unison, their little voices filled with joy.
Isabella squatted down and kissed their little faces. She asked gently, “Did you miss me?”
“Yes, I miss Mommy. I miss Daddy, too,” said the two little children, blinking their big eyes.
Isabella’s heart ached. Betty asked, “Mommy, when will Daddy wake up?”
Isabella said, “It will take a while, but don’t worry, I will definitely cure Daddy.
“In a few days, I will bring you guys into the laboratory to see Daddy, okay?”
“Okay!”
The two children were extremely obedient.
From the side, Quentin stared blankly.
He stood to the side in a daze. He was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, his mind was filled with embarrassment.
Now, he naturally knew who Isabella was. That meant that he must have been out of his mind to have
spoken ill of her in front of her.
“Quentin, why are you in a daze?” Sir Graham Lockwood looked at Quentin in puzzlement. Quentin had
been. in a daze ever since he entered the house and he looked like a fool.
When Quentin heard Sir Graham Lockwood’s voice, he snapped out of his daze and quickly greeted the
previous patriarch respectfully, and said, “Sir Graham Lockwood, I am here about a certain matter.”
“Come and sit,” said Sir Graham Lockwood, patting the sofa beside him. “You haven’t been to this
residence in a long time. I didn’t see you at the Christmas gathering.”
Quentin walked over and sat down. At this moment, Isabella walked over with the children. She smiled
and said, “Grandpa, I happened to meet Mr. Quentin Lockwood on my way here. His car had some
problems, so I gave him a ride.”
“You recognized me?” Quentin almost jumped up. His first reaction was that this woman was indeed
scheming!
However, when he looked at Isabella’s meek face and gentle eyes, he felt guilty.
Isabella raised her eyebrows and said, “Of course I recognized you. Otherwise, do you think I would
casually bring strangers into the Lockwood family’s residence?”
Quentin opened his mouth and wanted to retort. But he finally felt that what Isabella said made sense.
Sir Graham Lockwood asked, “Quentin, what do you want to discuss with me?” If there was nothing
serious, Quentin would usually not visit Sir Graham Lockwood. The matter was clearly not a small one.
Therefore, Sir Graham Lockwood’s expression was a little serious.
Quentin was silent.
He looked at Isabella, then at the clear and curious eyes of the two children beside her.
Quentin’s face fell more and more.
He felt that a child with such clear eyes must have a good mother.
Seeing how Quentin was hemming and hawing, Sir Graham Lockwood was even more puzzled.
Isabella, however, chuckled.
She said, “Grandpa, Mr. Quentin is probably here about me.”
Quentin looked at Isabella guiltily and then at Sir Graham Lockwood. Quentin felt even more uneasy.
However, Sir Graham Lockwood’s expression turned grim. “You’re here about Bella?” he asked.
“Quentin, what on earth is going on?”
Isabella and the two children looked at Quentin curiously, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Actually, Isabella had some ideas. She asked further, “Mr. Quentin, did the people from the boxing
families. talk to you?”
Since Isabella had already brought it up, Quentin decided to speak up.
However, this was what Quentin said, “Yes, young lady, you…I mean Mrs. Lockwood, you’re so smart.
Those old men said bad things about you so I’m here today to report on them.”
After saying that, Quentin looked at Sir Graham Lockwood righteously and said, “Sir Graham Lockwood,
those old men said that as the patriarch’s wife, Mrs. Lockwood took over the patriarch’s position while.
Draxton is in a coma because she wants to be in charge of Big Dipper and also seize control of the
entire. Lockwood family. What they said was really, really outrageous!”
He made his words sound very serious but nobody knew who exactly he was talking about.
After saying that, Quentin stole a glance at Isabella from the corner of his eye.
Isabella was looking at Quentin with a faint smile. That gaze made him feel like Isabella had seen
through his act.
Quentin’s aged face was a little hot.
He had come to discuss the matter seriously but in the end, he was caught in the act by the person in
question. Now, he felt completely deflated.
He felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing Quentin’s reddening face, Sir Graham Lockwood sighed in exasperation and said, “Quentin, you
must be getting muddleheaded. Think about it. Since Draxton handed the power over to Bella, it must be
because he trusts her.
“Others are just jealous of her. Yet you really believe them?”
“I…” Quentin lowered his head in shame.

Sir Graham Lockwood continued on and said, “However, they’re right. Bella can indeed command both
Big Dipper and Little Dipper. We also hope that Bella will take over.
“As Mrs. Lockwood, the wife of the patriarch, when the patriarch is down, the patriarch’s wife should rise
up and take control immediately. I think this is what a Lockwood family’s patriarch’s wife should do.
Everyone in the Lockwood family people should cooperate with her.”
Quentin felt even more ashamed of himself. He suddenly realized how narrow-minded he had been.
He did not dare to look up.
Sir Graham Lockwood then said to Quentin, “Now that something has happened to Draxton, Bella has to
oversee the laboratory personally.
“Bella is a Miraculous Doctor. With her participation in the experiment, there might be some hope of
saving Draxton.”
Quentin looked up at Isabella in shock.
Isabella smiled at him.
Quentin’s aged face turned even redder.
Sir Graham Lockwood looked at Quentin in disdain. “You, you have such a narrow way of thinking!”
Sir Graham Lockwood, Mrs. Lockwood, I was indeed muddleheaded,” said Quentin in shame.
Isabella said, “Earlier on, you thought that I was docile and that whoever married me was very fortunate.”
Quentin said, “Indeed, that’s true.”
Isabella did not want to pick on Quentin, so she just laughed it off.
Sir Graham Lockwood said, “Bella, I’d called you here for another matter.”
“What is it, Grandpa?” asked Isabella.
Sir Graham Lockwood said, “This is about the brothers, Zack and Samson.
“Back then, when they left the Lockwood family, they took our family plaque with them. I called you over
because I feel that you were the most suitable person to take back the family plaque.”
Isabella stared blankly.
Quentin, on the other hand, looked shocked.
The Lockwood family’s family plaque was engraved with the family rules set by the Lockwood family’s
ancestors. It was something that only every generation of the Lockwood family’s patriarch could possess.
In other words, if something happened to the patriarch, the person holding the family plaque had the right
to replace the patriarch and be in charge of all the Lockwood family’s matters. If necessary, he could
even become the patriarch of the Lockwood family..
By doing this, Sir Graham Lockwood was lending his support to Isabella, the current patriarch’s wife.
Sir Graham Lockwood wanted others to be clear about how the Lockwood family viewed Isabella.
