The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 60 Mrs. Lang

Samantha covered her burning face with her palms. Tears of humiliation and pain rolled down her face. This time, she was genuinely crying because she was upset.

Lawrence's face darkened. Regardless, he had been looking forward to meeting his idol, Samantha. And yet, even before he could have his way with her, she was already being humiliated in front of him. Honestly, it was a let-down.

However, when he saw Isabella's sidelong glance at him, Lawrence felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine. He was stunned and did not dare to move for a while.

As Samantha cried, she stole a glance at Lawrence. She felt even more embarrassed when she noticed all the customers in the café were looking at them.

However, Samantha was a celebrity. She was aware of the benefits of public discussions and search trends. She was not afraid of being recognized or someone taking a video of her and uploading it online. She was the one who got hit. If news of her being bullied by Isabella spread, she would top the search trend again. And Isabella would only face even more public backlash.

However, this mall was a high-end mall that valued the privacy of its customers. Usually, paparazzi could not enter, and the patronizing customers would not have anything better to do than to take such videos. As a result, Samantha did not realize that someone was secretly filming her.

Samantha looked at Isabella's cold and mocking expression. Lawrence did not do anything either. At that moment, Samantha felt immensely ashamed and resentful. She covered her face and ran away in a sorry

state.

Lawrence glared at Isabella. He then quickly chased after Samantha.

Olivia looked at Isabella with admiration. "Isabella, just look at that guy with purple eyes and purple hair. He is obviously furious but does not even have the guts to confront us. He seems to be very afraid of you!"

Isabella smiled and said, "He was my patient. I treated him before. But he was in a bad state then and did not. know my identity. Hence, I recognize him, but he does not recognize me.

"The reason he is afraid of me is probably that he is the patient, and I am the doctor. Just like how a child is terrified of injections!"

Isabella smiled mischievously.

"Isabella, you're really amazing!"

Olivia was now brimming with indescribable admiration for Isabella.

Looking at the starry-eyed and blushed-face Olivia, Isabella could not help but feel that she was exceptionally adorable, Isabella chuckled and pinched Olivia's fair and tender cheek gently. Then, she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. This feels so good!"

Olivia's face turned even redder. She grabbed Isabella's hand and said, "Isabella, please don't do this. You are making my heart race. I'm afraid my brother will kill me if he finds out!"

Isabella was stunned at first. Then, she burst out in laughter. Smiling and shaking her head, Isabella held Olivia's hand as they returned to her seat.

Now that those obnoxious people were out of their faces, they finished their coffee and went shopping.

It was a scary thing when a woman was shopping. Putting four wealthy women shopping together was even

scarier

In the end, the bodyguards who were secretly following them had to help them load their shopping bags into the car.

As for Samantha, she did not run to the hospital this time. Instead, she went back to the Lang family.

Ethan and Mrs. Lang were just drinking tea at that time and also discussing the online news. They had mixed feelings about Mr. Thompson saying that it was Isabella who knocked him down and how obvious it was that Samantha was the one leading the discussions.

At that moment, Samantha returned with her hand on her injured face. Her hair was disheveled, and her skin was pale. The palm print and blood mark on her face were obvious and attention-catching. Her face was covered in tears and her eyes were red. When Ethan and Mrs. Lang saw her, their minds went blank from shock

Mrs. Lang reacted first. She stood up in disbelief and quickly walked towards Samantha. "Sammy, what's wrong?"

Her voice was trembling.

She had raised this daughter. Although recent events had made them realize that the Thompson family was playing dirty, it was still heart-aching for them to see Samantha hurt to this extent. "Mommy Samantha broke down further upon seeing Mrs. Lang. She had been suppressing her emotions, and when she finally saw her mother, she could no longer keep them in. Any grievances, hatred, fear, and humiliation she swallowed were all let out.

She threw herself into her mother's arms and bellowed loudly, "Mom, I'm scared. I'm really scared. Please don't abandon me!"

Samantha cried at the top of her lungs. All the negative emotions she harbored seemed to have found a way out, and she was venting them.

The Lang family had been a little cold toward her the past few days. Although they did not say anything about wanting her to leave or disowning her, Samantha still felt fearful.

The Rivera family had broken off the engagement. If even the Lang family did not want her, who could she turn to?

That Thomson couple?

Mrs. Lang's heart ached. Samantha had never left her side growing up. Before the two children's identities were discovered, she had led a carefree life in the Lang family. She was smart, obedient, and outstanding. She was their pride.

Mrs. Lang had never seen Samantha cry this distressingly before. She must have suffered a huge grievance. outside.

Any cumbersome feelings she felt with Samantha dissolved into pity for her at this moment.

She patted Samantha on her back and comforted her gently. "Sammy, be good. Don't be sad. Mommy will be heartbroken if you are like this. Tell me what happened to your face. Who bullied you?" Samantha did not answer her. Instead, she shook her head vigorously and said, "Mom, I'm fine. I accidentally hit myself."

Mrs. Lang's heart ached even more. This was her precious child, whom she had doted on from young. And Samantha had never suffered like this before. With a sterner voice, Mrs. Lang said, "Sammy, do you think Mommy doesn't know anything? Someone clearly inflicted this injury on you. Tell me, who hit you?"

Still, Samantha shook her head and sobbed. "Mom, please don't ask anymore. I really hit myself. Can't you just take it that I hit myself?"

Samantha choked. Her voice was heart-wrenching. "Mommy, hug me. Can you hug me again? You haven't hugged me in a long time, and you have been ignoring me these past few days. I'm really scared." She looked so fragile.

Mrs. Lang was heartbroken.

Nonetheless, Mrs. Lang could guess as much from Samantha's reactions. Her eyes darkened as she probed further. "Sammy, it's Isabella Thompson, right? She was the one who injured your face, right?" Samantha stiffened. She did not confirm, but just hugged Mrs. Lang and cried.

Mrs. Lang understood it all.

The following morning, Olivia and Isabella drove to the kindergarten to see Ricky. Ricky was wearing his kindergarten uniform and carrying a small school bag. He was dropped off by his great-grandpa and great-grandma. The two elders were no longer dressed as cleaners but as faculty members.

Isabella and Olivia walked up to them. When Ricky saw them, he immediately threw himself into Isabella's

arms

Isabella was not around when Ricky came back from school the previous day. Ricky missed his mother very much after not seeing her for one night.

He wrapped his chubby little arms around Isabella's neck, hugging her. Isabella's heart melted.

Isabella squatted down and hugged the little guy in her arms. She kissed him on his cute little forehead and asked gently. "My Ricky Baby, did you have fun playing with great-grandpa and great-grandma?” Ricky looked conflicted and said helplessly, "I had fun."

His childlike voice was too sweet. The other children started to arrive at the kindergarten. Knowing that Ricky did not like to be treated as a kid in front of his friends, Isabella resisted the urge to kiss his face. However, Olivia, who was standing beside Isabella, could not help but reach out her hand to pinch his face. Ricky was not angry at being pinched at all. Instead, he greeted her politely, "Hello, Aunt."

"Well, hello to you too, Ricky. Aww, you are too cute!" Olivia put her hands on her chest with a gentle expression.

Ricky blushed in embarrassment for being called cute. He could not help but bury his face in his mother's

neck.

Isabella gently patted his small body and looked up at the two elders. "Grandpa, grandma, it's been hard on you!"

Patriarch Lockwood shook his head repeatedly, while Madame Emma Lockwood interrupted and said, "It's not hard. It's not hard at all. Bella, you can't fetch the child away. We are having such fun with Ricky. Aren't we, little Ricky?"

Ricky looked up from his mother's arms. He saw the expectant expression on his great-grandma and could not help but nod his head. "Yes. I had great fun with great-grandpa and great-grandma." Madame Emma Lockwood was instantly overjoyed. She covered her chest with both hands and smiled brightly.

Isabella did not know whether to laugh or cry. She caressed Ricky's head gently and said, "Alright, Ricky, hurry. up to school now. Mommy will come and see you after school."

"Yeah."

Ricky nodded obediently. He was just about to turn around and walk into the kindergarten when he saw a very graceful and elegantly-dressed woman walking toward them. The woman looked a lot like his mother. Ricky immediately stopped in his tracks. He stared wide-eyed at the woman as she walked up to them. Isabella and the others could also sense the shift in the atmosphere. They followed Ricky's gaze and saw a well-dressed woman walking over. They could tell that the woman came from a well-to-do family.

More importantly, this woman looked a lot like Isabella.

No one would believe that they were unrelated.

Mrs. Lang came with rage, but when she met Ricky's gaze, her anger subconsciously subsided.

She had planned to interrogate Isabella harshly on why she would hurt Samantha, but now, she decided to be more tactful. As long as Isabella agreed to apologize to Sammy, she would forgive her. Isabella's eyes darkened.

After slapping Samantha yesterday, she knew exactly how Samantha would retaliate. As expected, the Lang family people showed up today.

Isabella stared at Mrs. Lang in silence as the latter walked up to her. Mrs. Lang first took a glance at Patriarch Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood and then at Olivia, who was standing beside Isabella. Finally, she said to Isabella, "Come with me. I need to have a word with you.

Her tone was stiff and she was obviously angry. Hence, it sounded like she was commanding Isabella.

Isabella narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Mrs. Lang, I roughly have an idea why you are here for me. However, this is all Samantha's doings. You can't blame me. If you're here because of this, you don't have to say anything. If you're angry, then seek revenge for her. I will wait for that."

With that, Isabella turned around coldly, ignoring her.

Fury surged up in Mrs. Lang that she choked. Her eyes were burning with rage. She could no longer control herself and yelled, "Isabella, if there's anything, just talk it out. Why did you hurt Sammy? Sammy has never been so hurt like that before, let alone suffer such grievances. How can you treat her like that? How could you be so ruthless? A lady should not be behaving like this!"

Isabella subconsciously clenched her fists and said hostilely, "Mrs. Lang, according to what you said, Samantha Lang has never been seriously injured since young and has never suffered like that. So, should admit defeat and do nothing when she framed me and even tried to kill me?

"Or am I supposed to be hurt, to suffer, and to be framed in silence? All the while not touching a single strand of hair on your precious daughter?"

She looked at Mrs. Lang mockingly.

"I didn't mean that. I meant..."This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Instantly. Mrs. Lang's expression turned somber, but she did not know how to continue.

Because that was the truth.

Her heart ached for Samantha, but she had never thought about Isabella.

After a long pause, she finally found a reason and said, "No matter what happens, you shouldn't have hit anyone. Sammy did not even bear to step on ants when she was young. How could she have harmed you? There must be a misunderstanding..."

"Are you saying that I wronged her?" Isabella asked sarcastically.

Olivia could no longer just stand by and listen to what Mrs. Lang had to say. She asked her icily, "Madam, what right do you have to speak to Isabella like this? Who are you to her?"

Mrs. Lang blurted out, "I'm her mother..."

"Is that so? Then Madam, since you're Isabella's mother, why are you biased toward others? Do you know what Isabella has gone through?"

Mrs. Lang's expression changed. She was speechless.

Olivia sneered. "It's one thing when that Samantha Lang you were talking about stir up public opinion online to frame Isabella. Yesterday, she even slandered Isabella in front of my mother and me. What is she trying to achieve? Do you think we're blind and can't tell?

"Hmph, I slapped her on her right cheek on behalf of Isabella. Isabella only slapped her on the left cheek. Let me tell you, slapping her is just a light punishment. I won't let those things on the Internet go lightly!" "Impossible!" Mrs. Lang shouted. Panic flashed across her face. "Sammy wouldn't do that. You must have misunderstood her..."

Olivia sneered. "I've never seen a mother like you. Samantha Lang's biological parents swapped Isabella and her when they were young. Now that the deed has been discovered, their entire family is targeting Isabella maliciously. That's still fine, but you, the Lang family, are Isabella's biological parents. Not only are you not sorry for losing her or even trying to make up for your mistake, but you are also in cahoots with your daughter's nemesis to harm her. I'm so heartbroken for Isabella."

Isabella looked at Olivia with kind eyes and reached out to caress her head. She smiled and said, "Olivia, what are you heartbroken for? These people have nothing to do with me. I've never taken them to heart."

And Isabella meant it. She sighed and said, "Mrs. Lang, I'm really anxious about how blindsided you are. However, this is the Lang family's business. I hope that your family will never bother me in the future. Otherwise, I won't show mercy to your family.

'As for Samantha Lang and the Thompson family, I'm not afraid to say this out loud and clear that I will not let them off lightly for what they did to me."
