Chapter 130 Mrs. Lang’s Call
Carlos’s eyes widened, and the smug expression on his face froze.
Everyone watched as the car drove over.
Isabella got out of the car and walked over to Draxton. She looked down at Carlos’s corpse with a cold expression.
“I’ve interrogated Jacob. We can’t let Carlos live. Once we kill him, Ghost’s experiments could only come to a halt. It will be beneficial to us.”
Isabella said.
Draxton said, “Alright. Leave the rest to me.”
Draxton turned to his subordinates and said, “There will be someone left who can tell us something. Let’s rush over. If we can capture them alive, try our best to capture them alive. Otherwise, you have permission to kill them.”
Immediately, Silas brought people over.
However, when they rushed over, the helicopter was already gone.
Those people fled quickly.
When the helicopter returned to the underground laboratory where Clan Mobius and Ghost were, Ghost said, “Since we couldn’t bring Mr. Orwell back, I’m afraid the development of our new medicine would have to stagnate for a while.”
He felt extremely regretful.
Bridget’s eyes were filled with worry. “Teacher, will master die?”
Ghost explained, “Logically speaking, Lucsia won’t do anything to Mr. Orwell. They must have been trying to get more secrets about the new medicine from him, but it’s hard to say that accidents might not happen.
Bridget’s face contorted. “Are you talking about Isabella?”
Ghost raised his eyebrows with interest. “Isabella… I’d like to meet this person.”
Behind his silver-framed glasses, his eyes flickered with a wolf-like ruthlessness.
Cecilia said, “Since Isabella is a Miraculous Doctor and Greg’s successor, she must know about that prescription. Although Carlos is dead, as long as we capture Isabella, our plans for the new medicine will come to fruition.”
The exceptionally handsome and stunning man said, “What Celia said makes sense. I heard that Isabella has two adorable children. Why don’t we invite those two children over as guests? Isabella will be delighted to help us.”
He spoke with a smile, but he sounded as terrifying as a wild beast.
Cecilia glanced at the man and smiled. “Julian, your idea is the best.”
Julian Doyle put his arm around Cecilia’s waist. “I’ve thought of such a good idea. How will you reward me?”
Cecilia’s beautiful face immediately blushed. The two of them became affectionate as if no one was around.
Ghost and Bridget were used to their behavior and were not surprised.
Then, Bridget’s eyes shone viciously. After she caught Isabella and those two little mutts, she would look after them very, very well.
Admiral Sanders looked at Draxton with a solemn expression. “Is Carlos dead?”
Draxton said, “His life no longer has any value. Whatever he knows, Bella knows. If he can do it, Bella can do it, too.”
When Admiral Sanders heard this, he nodded slightly. “If that’s the case, then Carlos is indeed worthless. However, you have to pay more attention to Bella’s safety.”
Admiral Sanders did not want that unscrupulous person, Carlos, to live, either.
After a while, it was almost dawn. Isabella and Draxton finally returned to Northernville Manor to rest. The two of them slept for some time before Isabella was woken up by her phone.
Isabella was in a daze. Without looking at the phone, she answered the call.
As soon as the call went through, a gentle female voice sounded on the other end. “Bella? is this Bella? It’s Mom.”
Mom?
Isabella’s first reaction was confusion. Since when did she have a mother?
Subconsciously, she had long regarded the Lang and the Thompson family as nothing. Hence, when she heard the word, she did not understand it immediately.
The voice on the phone did not sound unfamiliar, but she had heard this voice before. After thinking about it carefully, the image of Mrs. Lang jumped into her mind.
“Mrs. Lang, why did you call me?” Isabella did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
On the other end of the line, when Mrs. Lang heard Isabella’s polite yet distant tone, her heart could not help but feel sad. This child was indeed petty, she thought. Isabella was still holding a grudge.
Mrs. Lang felt a little frustrated. The Thompson family must not have taught this child well, she thought. Otherwise, how could she be so vengeful and inconsiderate?
She was her biological mother, not an enemy. Even if she owed Isabella in the past, did Isabella have to be so cold?
Every time Mrs. Lang thought of Isabella, she felt worried and uneasy. However, when they did interact with each other, Mrs. Lang felt displeased.
After all, Mrs. Lang did not raise Isabella herself.
Mrs. Lang said gently. “Bella, your father and I would like to meet you. When do you have some free time?”
Isabella was silent and looked puzzled.
She was about to refuse when she saw that Draxton had woken up at some point. He was looking at her quietly.
Isabella said, “Mrs. Lang, I don’t think there’s any point in us seeing each other. I’ve already told Jason Lang that I have nothing to do with your family. Please don’t bother me again.”
On the other end, Mrs. Lang’s tone became unpleasant. She said, “How could you address your Big Brother by his full name? Can’t you address him as Big Brother?
“I know you hate us, and you hate what Sammy and the Thompson family did. We’re already prepared to remove Sammy from our family’s household register. From now on, she won’t be part of our family anymore. You’re the Lang family’s only daughter.”
Mrs. Lang told Isabella angrily.
Isabella smiled in silence. She said slowly, “Everything you’ve just said… What does it have to do with me?”
Mrs. Lang was upset. In her opinion, Isabella was unlikeable. She said, “You’re only doing this to spite us. We can visit you if you don’t want to see us. I heard that you’re married. We can visit you and meet our son-in-law,
too.”
Isabella took a deep breath. “Mrs. Lang, I have nothing to do with you. If you don’t understand what I’m saying, I have nothing else to talk to you about.”
Isabella was about to hang up.
Draxton stopped her and said, “Avoidance is not a solution. Let’s meet them and put an end to this.”
Isabella paused.
Draxton said into the phone, “When would it be convenient for Bella and me to visit you?”
On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Lang paused for a moment before she reacted and said, “In the afternoon…”
Halfway through, Mrs. Lang suddenly remembered that she still had to meet Samantha in the afternoon, so she said, “Tomorrow. Can you come tomorrow morning?”
After hanging up the phone, Isabella frowned slightly. “Why are they looking for me?”
Draxton reached out and smoothed her furrowed brows. “No matter what they want, follow your heart. You have the right to do so.”
Isabella’s eyebrows relaxed. Draxton had a point. She was no longer as easily bullied as she was five years ago.
The Thompson family members had been sent to prison. And after Mr. Thompson recovered, he was also locked up. The couple had been convicted of their crime. They would probably spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Isabella felt that it was enough. They had harmed her and paid for what they deserved. If the Lang family did. not provoke her, she would not take the initiative to mess with them.
But the Lang family had taken the initiative to look for her instead.
