Chapter 22
Without withholding her strength. Isabella gave Sophia a good slap that struck her face aside.
Due to the tremendous hit, Sophia endured a blackout in vision and a buzz in her ears. In addition, she could not help but get beaten back a few steps, falling over embarrassingly. Being out of her mind, Sophia had no clue what was going on.
In the living room, Martin was looking at the outdoor views through the window while bearing with Amelia's endless chatter.
That was when he happened to see Isabella slap Sophia.
Even witnessing from afar, Martin could still sense the horrific power of that slap based on the gestures of the two women.
What grabbed his attention was the way Isabella stared at Sophia. It seemed as if the latter was a corpse.
Meanwhile, Draxton, who glanced at Isabella and Ricky now and then, also witnessed the scene. Without further hesitation, he got on his feet and walked toward them.
Alan and Martin exchanged their gazes with a sense of sarcasm. They could not wait to see the winner of Isabella and Sophia's battle.
At that moment, Amelia saw what was going on outside as well. She suddenly exclaimed, "Sophie!!"
Draxton walked out in a hurry.
Amelia stood up to follow him, murmuring, "Drax, what is the problem with this maid? How dare she slap Sophie?
"You cannot keep someone like her!"
Without giving a shit about Amelia, Draxton walked toward Isabella in a rush.
From his point of view, if someone timid as Isabella dared slap the other, the woman called Sophia Hart must be at fault.
"What's wrong?" Draxton approached Isabella and stood still in front of her.
Isabella glanced at him with a pair of reddened eyes and held Ricky in her arms. "She cursed Ricky," she said in a low voice.
All of a sudden, Draxton's face fell.
At that moment, Amelia walked by and checked on Sophia with sympathy. The next second, she swore and threw herself toward Isabella.
"You fucking bitch! How dare you slap my daughter? I will not let you off!"
After her words, Amelia held up her hand, intending to give Isabella a good slap.
Isabella lowered her head and managed to hide behind Draxton.
With a cold gaze, Draxton could not take it anymore.
He turned toward Alan and Martin.
Alan dared not go against Draxton's order. Instead, he stepped forward to take Amelia under control.
Amelia was stunned and questioned him aloud. "Drax, what do you mean?"
Draxton glared at her coldly as if she were merely an ant.
Alan did not withhold his strength while clenching Amelia's arm. She even turned pale under his might.
"Mom..."
Sophia eventually snapped out of it. However, she switched to a frightened look while seeing the circumstance.
Before Sophia intended to say anything, Draxton gave Martin an implicative look. "Get them out of here! From now on, they are no more allowed to enter the Northernville Manor!" Sophia was shocked.
After realizing the situation, she could not help but begin to flutter.
"Drax...
"Ouch. Let me off! Why are you sending me away?
"Drax, did I do something wrong?"
How could Sophia be willing to give up? She looked at Draxton with a distressed look while fluttering madly to get rid of Martin's control.
"Shut her up! She is way too noisy!"
Draxton ordered with a deadpan exterior. That woman scared Bella and Ricky, one of whom was timid, and the other was still a kid. How could they take it? Sophia froze with her eyes wide open. How come? Did she do anything wrong?
It was the maid that had slapped her. And yet, she merely had a word with that little mutt!
Cooper stepped forward to squeeze a rag into Sophia's mouth in a swift manner.
"Umm..." Sophia kept fluttering.
"Throw away all the items touched by this woman," Draxton uttered again but turned toward the two robot maids.
The robot maids took his order and left.
However, Amelia was under Alan's control with a stern look.
After hearing a series of Draxton's orders, she almost got pissed off.
But today, she would rather stay here no matter what.
Before their arrival, Amelia thought everything would go smoothly. But, to her surprise, things turned out like this before she could get the chance to take action.
No. She was not willing to give up. She must stay and prevent anyone from sending her away.
Suddenly, Amelia turned to Isabella. Alright. It seemed like the only way was to plead with her.
As long as she begged this maid, everything would work out. Even if Isabella said no, Draxton would see her true colors as a spoiled brat.
Being held behind Draxton, Isabella raised her eyebrows with a sarcastic look while Amelia glanced at her.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Not surprisingly, Amelia bent her knees and knelt in front of Isabella at once.
"Young lady, I am begging you. Sophie and I are at fault. We should not have treated you impolitely. But, please, for the sake of our favor on the former chieftain, plead with Mr. Lockwood on our behalf." Isabella was speechless.
Was this woman nuts?
Isabella coughed softly and said, "Ma'am, I did not understand a word you said.
"As far as I am concerned, you should see a psychiatrist."
Amelia remained silent.
The others did not say a word as well.
Draxton, on the contrary, released a grin. This young lady was adorable.
"Get them out of here!" When turning toward Amelia and Sophia, Draxton put on a solemn look.
Alan and Martin looked at each other before seizing the two women away.
After throwing Amelia and Sophia out of the manor, the guys shut the gate regardless of their screams.
Alan sneered, "Mrs. Hart, you have been well treated by Mr. Lockwood over the years. Well enough to return your favor on the former chieftain back then.
"It is your life from now on."
What did he mean?
Amelia and Sophia froze.
Nevertheless, Alan and Martin had already walked away.
After Amelia and Sophia snapped out of it, all they could see was the closed gate.
In the blink of an eye, they sat down on the ground with pale looks.
Especially for Sophia. She had never been so embarrassed as she currently was.
At that time, she felt furious, humiliated, and wronged. She could not help but shed tears. However, an intense hatred emerged from inside.
She was the princess of the family, who always deserved the best. So how could that woman called Bella hold a candle to her?
She was supposed to be the girl that everybody indulged instead of being driven away and laughed at.
As for Amelia, people used to lick her boots. She could not accept the change in circumstances after a cold treat.
"Mom, what are we supposed to do?"
Sophia looked at Amelia helplessly. "What did that guard mean just now? Could it be that Drax would not care about our family anymore?"
Amelia squinted her eyes. "Stop caring about our family? No way!
"Your grandpa saved the former chieftain's ass. They could not leave us alone, as they owed us a big favor.
"As for the incident today, that maid was the one to be blamed..."
With all those words, Amelia squinted her eyes with a scary look. "Humph! Who does she think she is? Does such a woman deserve to be with Mr. Lockwood?"
