Chapter 222 Isabella’s Status
The next day, when Isabella went downstairs, she saw Shawn and Kyla welcoming her warmly. Not only
that, but even Kim was also very friendly to Isabella.
“Mrs. Lockwood, it’s our fault for not being thorough yesterday and offending you. This is a small token of
our apology. I hope you won’t refuse us.”
Kyla handed over a gift bag with both hands with a smile. Isabella took a look and saw that it was a very
exquisite jewelry box.
There should be jewelry inside.
However, Isabella did not take it. Isabella walked to the sofa and sat down. She smiled and said, “I
understand your intentions, Mrs. Langley. But there’s no need for the gift.”
Shawn and Kyla immediately looked uneasy. They looked in the direction of Kim for help.
Kim said, “Isabella, are you hating me?”
Isabella looked at Kim in surprise and said, “Aunt Kim, why do you say that?”
“Then why don’t you accept their gift? Shawn and Kyla are just straightforward. They don’t mean
anything else.”
Isabella said, “Aunt Kim, what position are you in by saying that? The daughter of the Langley family or
the daughter–in–law of the Lockwood family?
“If it’s the former, it’s my fault then.
“But if it’s the latter, I don’t think it has much to do with you whether I accept their gift or not.”
Isabella’s words were not polite at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo matter how many words Kim wanted to say, they were all held back in her heart at this moment. Kim’s
face was gloomy.
Shawn and Kyla’s faces were also especially gloomy.
Cressida stared at Isabella and clenched her fists tightly.
Cressida was jealous of Isabella and hated her at the same time.
Seeing that her parents and aunt were so embarrassed that they didn’t know what to say, Cressida could
only find a topic to break the awkwardness.
Cressida said to the silent Elodia, “Elodia, why do you always keep silent? Hurry up and have a good
chat
with Isabella.
“Show that gift to Isabella. She might like it.”
Cressida spoke in the tone of command.
Elodia did not say anything. She hesitated for a moment and felt that Cressida’s words were wrong.
Isabella narrowed her eyes slightly and saved Elodia from her dilemma. “Miss Langley, isn’t it a little
improper for you to call me so intimately?”
Of course, Isabella knew that in Cressida’s heart, Isabella was her sister–in–law, and that was why
Cressida called Isabella so intimately. But why did Isabella have to acknowledge Cressida as a cousin for
Draxton?
Isabella’s words this time were even more impolite.
Cressida’s face stiffened and her eyes were filled with embarrassment.
Shawn and Kyla were even more at a loss.
They really didn’t dare to provoke Isabella, the patriarch’s wife of the Lockwood family anymore. They
had already experienced Isabella’s status in the Lockwood family yesterday.
Seeing that Shawn, Kyla, and Cressida were embarrassed so badly by Isabella, Kim took a deep breath
and said, “Isabella, Cressida is my niece. It’s reasonable for her to take you as the sister–in–law like
Elodia. So, she called you by name directly just now.”
Isabella smiled and said, “Aunt Kim, you are right. But I just couldn’t figure out when Draxton had a
cousin.”
Kim was so angry that she held her breath. The pleasant expression on her face could no longer be
maintained.
However, Kim reflected on it yesterday. No matter how much Kim looked down on Isabella in her heart, it
was a fact that Madame Emma Lockwood and Jeanne valued her.
Isabella’s position in the Lockwood family was obviously unshakable.
Other than building a good relationship with Isabella, Kim had no other choice.
Isabella looked at Elodia and asked with a smile, “Elodia, did you sleep well last night?”
Elodia hurriedly said, “I slept quite well. Thank you for your concern, Isabella.”
Isabella smiled and said, “We’re all family. There’s no need to stand on ceremony.”
Elodia smiled shyly and looked at Isabella with gratitude.
Kim was not a fool. She could naturally tell that Isabella was doing this to raise Elodia’s status.
Kim immediately smiled and said, “It seems that you two get along very well. Elodia, you have to get
along well with Isabella. You’re both young people and have common topics.”
Kim’s smile at Elodia was also very kind and sincere.
When Elodia saw Kim’s unprecedented kindness, her heart could not help but beat faster, and she was
very terrified.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCressida’s eyes flashed with malice. Isabella was so kind to that trash Elodia, but she treated Cressida
so badly all the time. The hatred in Cressida’s heart could not help but deepen.
At this moment, the servants opened the door. Wilson, Ava, and their family had arrived, and so had
Macpherson, Mia, and their family.
Bernard, Shepard, Yale, Roger, and Kevin were also here.
Only Olivia had not yet arrived.
Isabella was puzzled. Isabella had not seen Olivia even once since she returned.
Isabella asked Jeanne, but Jeanne also said that she didn’t know what Olivia had been busy with
recently. However, seeing that Jeanne was not worried, Isabella felt at ease in the end.
Upon seeing the arrival of the two families, Shawn, Kyla, and Kim immediately stood up to welcome
them. However, Yale walked up first and threw herself into Isabella’s arms enthusiastically.
Isabella helplessly caught her. Yale leaned against Isabella as if she had no bones. Isabella could not
push Yale away, so she could only drag Yale to the sofa and sit down.
“Yale, is it okay to torture me like this?” Isabella pulled Yale away a little in amusement.
Yale clung to Isabella and said, “Isabella, it’s acting coquettishly. I’m acting coquettishly. Do you know
how to use the right words?”
Isabella did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Mia smiled and scolded Yale helplessly, “Bella, look at her. How naughty she is! Ignore her!”
Yale immediately raised her head and protested, “Mom, am I your biological daughter?”
Mia rolled her eyes at Yale.
Shawn, Kyla, and Kim saw this scene and got a new understanding of Isabella’s status in the Lockwood
family.
