The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 45 Jason Lang

Madame Rivera did not hide her thoughts. She glanced at Samantha Lang indifferently.

Then she said, "Don't blame me for being blunt. That video that is trending online is authentic. That nanny swapped the two children with clear malicious intentions back then. The Rivera family refuses to be associated with people of such disgusting nature."

Samantha's eyes widened. "So That's the reason," she thought. As she expected, the Thompson couple had implicated her.

Samantha sobbed, "Auntie Rivera... They're them and I'm me. I... I'll stay away from them from now onwards!"

Madame Rivera looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "Child, they are still your biological parents."

Samantha's body stiffened.

No matter how evil the couple was, they were still very protective of Samantha Lang.

Samantha shook her head in panic. For a moment, she did not know what to say. It was as if everything she said was wrong.

Madame Rivera said, "No matter what misdeeds they have done, they are still your biological parents. Haven't you already acknowledged them five years ago? Can kinship be severed just like that?" Samantha felt her body become weak. She would rather fall into hell than endure this excruciating pain. She could not take it anymore. Her vision darkened, and she fainted.

Mrs. Lang felt something weighing on her arms. It was Samantha. Her face was pale, and she had lost consciousness.

Jason Lang, who had been paying attention to Samantha, walked over. He took Samantha from his mother's arms and said, "Mom, I'll send her back to her room."

Mrs. Lang watched as Jason carried Samantha upstairs. Then, he looked at the Rivera couple and complained, "Stella, why would you say that in front of Sammy?"

Madame Rivera said, "Didn't you tell her to go to her room? She refused to leave."

Mrs. Lang opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Then Mr. Rivera and Madame Rivera stood up.

Mr. Rivera was the first to speak. "Ethan, Rowena, I'm sure you know why we're here. We'll make an announcement soon that we're canceling Cristian Rivera's engagement with Samantha Lang. "The Rivera family will never welcome Samantha Lang into the family. As for whether to acknowledge Samantha Lang as the daughter of the Lang family, that is for you to decide."

A trace of anger appeared on Mrs. Lang's face.

"Is the reason you're acting like this because of Isabella Thompson? Did she say anything?

"She must have said or done something. She was jealous of Sammy. She must have come back to take revenge on Sammy.

"Didn't you hear Sammy say that she already has a child? Don't tell me that the Rivera family has taken a fancy to such a girl?" The Rivera couple looked at Mrs. Lang in shock.

After a short pause, they took a deep breath and continued, "Rowena, we haven't even seen that child.

"I really didn't expect you to say that about your own child to stand up for someone else's. She's your flesh and blood.

"It's fine if you don't accept her, but how can you misunderstand her like this?"

Madame Rivera shook her head and said, “Forget it. We're not in the position to say anymore. You guys should take care of this yourselves."

With that, she walked out of the door.

At the door, Mr. Rivera turned around and looked at the couple.

"Ethan, Rowena, our families have maintained a close relationship for years. Let me give you some advice: your adoptive daughter is definitely not innocent.

If the video wasn't exposed, you probably wouldn't have been able to discover that the Thompson couple were such hideous people, right?

They swapped the two children back then. If you hadn't found out five years ago that Samantha Lang isn't your biological child, they would have brought this secret to their graves.

Samantha Lang has been in close contact with them for the past five years. Do you really believe that she has no second thoughts?

"I'm sure you understand what I'm saying. Don't be blinded by love. In my opinion, your adopted daughter is quite similar to her biological parents to a certain extent.

"At this point, you should be more careful, lest you get hurt."

After saying that, Mr. Rivera took a deep look at the hesitant couple before leaving.

Jason returned downstairs and saw his parents standing there in a daze. They were motionless, just like

statues.

He coughed lightly and called out, "Dad, Mom."

It was then that they came back to their senses. They looked at their son. Mrs. Lang seemed confused, but Ethan ordered, "Jason, find her."

It was obvious who Ethan was referring to.

Jason was silent for a moment. He was a little uncertain if he should do so because he thought of their attitude toward Isabella five years ago.

The father and son exchanged glances and saw in each other eyes the same emotions.

Jason rubbed his nose and said, "I'll head off now."

However, before Jason left, the driver walked in. The driver held his phone and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Lang, Young Master. You should take a look at the news online. It is related to the Young Lady."

The Lang family fished out their phones in a hurry. They saw that it was the latest entertainment news. One of the headlines said, "Samantha Lang's biological father is suspected of running over the real Young Lady."

Another said, "Samantha Lang's biological father's attempt of murdering the real Young Lady for the sake of his own daughter."

They had heard about Charles Thompson's hospitalization a few days ago, but they were not expecting the news to blow up this way.

These two headlines revealed a message: Isabella Thompson was not dead.

They were puzzled. How did the person behind the two headlines know that Isabella wasn't dead and Charles wanted to kill her?

Mrs. Lang was not stupid. Her reaction was almost instantaneous. "It's her. It's Isabella Thompson. She's here to take revenge on Sammy." Ethan and Jason naturally thought of this too. However, if everything was true... Then what was wrong with Isabella taking revenge?

It seemed that the father-son duo had a clearer perspective of the issue than Mrs. Lang.

Jason immediately thought of how they had treated Isabella five years ago when he saw his mother being habitually protective of Samantha.

"Mom, if Samantha Lang and her biological parents were birds of the same feather, and they did something unforgivable to Isabella Thompson, would you still be on Samantha's side?"

Mrs. Lang thought about it and subconsciously said, “How is that possible? Sammy is not that kind of person.”

She was extremely certain.

"Mom, if Isabella Thompson isn't dead, are you willing to acknowledge her?"

Jason asked again.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Mrs. Lang's face. "Of course I do. She's my daughter. Why wouldn't I?"

Jason fell silent.

Mrs. Lang continued, "Jason, bring her back when you find her. We're already aware of the suffering she had experienced. We will make it up to her.

"As long as she reconciles with Sammy and gets along well with her, all the misunderstandings will be solved."

Jason and Ethan looked at each other. Jason said, "Mom, if everything is really a misunderstanding, then everything will surely be over soon."

Mrs. Lang nodded.

"But what if it's not a misunderstanding? What if Samantha Lang really did do something to Isabella, just like the Thompson family? Would you still forgive her?"

"Of course..."

Mrs. Lang found it hard to utter those words. It was as if she was choking.

Jason glanced at his mother and did not say anything else. He turned around and walked out of the house. After leaving the house, he was at a loss. Where was he going to find Isabella Thompson? However, he was still the son of the Lang family after all. He quickly found some clues.

Draxton Lockwood and Isabella had been enjoying each other's company these few days.

After a steamy session, Draxton hugged Isabella Thompson and asked, "Are you the one who posted the news online?"

Isabella Thompson snorted. "Yes, this is just the beginning."

"If you leave it to me, I'll settle them instantly." Draxton also wanted to show his appeal.

Isabella said, "Don't interfere. This is my business."

Draxton's eyes darkened. "You're my wife now."

Isabella turned around and said, "Those clowns are not worth your trouble."

"Why not?" Draxton raised his eyebrows in slight dissatisfaction.

Isabella was reminded of the man's ferocity in bed and could not help but fall silent.

"I'll send someone to protect you and Ricky. I won't interfere with anything else." Draxton compromised. Isabella nodded. "Okay."

She did not want the incident at the kindergarten to repeat again.

Even though Ricky would not have been abducted by Mrs. Thompson, he was still a child who was not yet five years old.

No matter how smart and powerful a child was, a child was just a child.

The person responsible for the escort of Ricky to and fro kindergarten was Grey Lockwood. He was a skillful member of the Lockwood family's guards. Isabella would also escort Risky to the kindergarten with him.

Isabella sent Ricky to kindergarten in the morning. Then she stood outside the kindergarten and watched Ricky play with the children.

Jason's car was parked on the road opposite the kindergarten. Seeing this, he asked the driver to drive the

car over.

Isabella was about to get into the car when she was stopped.

Isabella looked up in surprise and saw the person that stopped her. However, she had more or less expected

this.

The trending topics about Samantha Lang and her biological parents on the Internet had garnered much attention. The Lang family would think that she was the one who did it, so she expected their arrival. Isabella curled her lips, her gaze cold and mocking.

Grey's expression changed when he saw someone stop Isabella. He immediately got out of the car and stood in front of Isabella.

Grey was tall and had a sturdy build. His face was cold, and his gaze was sharp. He exuded a murderous

aura.

Ordinary people wouldn't even have the courage to look at someone like Grey. With just one look, they would be frightened by the terrifying aura he gave off.

Isabella was shielded behind Grey, but she still saw Jason's stiff expression.

"Grey Lockwood, calm down. I'm acquainted with Mr. Lang over here," she said.

Grey did not let down his guard despite hearing that. He just shifted to one side.

His muscles tensed as he scanned Jason from head to toe. He was even more relieved when he realized that Jason was just an ordinary person.

Isabella walked past Grey and stood in front of Jason.

She sized the man up from head to toe, crossed her arms, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lang, are you here to stand up for your sister?"

Jason said nothing.

He was overcome with shock.

It was because of the way Isabella addressed Grey.

Grey Lockwood. The surname Lockwood...

There was only one family with that surname in Dawton City!

Jason's heart was in turmoil. How could Isabella Thompson be related to the Lockwood family?

His heart felt heavy.

Seeing that Jason was silent, Isabella Thompson said impatiently, "If Mr. Lang has nothing to say, please move aside."

Isabella turned around to get into the car.

Jason quickly regained his senses seeing that she was about to leave, saying, "Wait, I have something to say to you."

Isabella turned around and stared at him. "Speak up."

"There's a café opposite. Let's talk there," said Jason.

Isabella chuckled. "Sure."

The two cars arrived at the café on the other side of the road. Grey sat in the car and stared at the two people in the café.

In the café, the two were having a conversation.

The café had a warm atmosphere, and the music from the piano was graceful. It was light and comfortable

to listen to.

Isabella and Jason sat by the window. Isabella narrowed her beautiful eyes and sized up the man opposite

her.

Five years had passed. Compared to five years ago, he had grown into a mature man.

He looked sensible and reliable, different from how he stood out five years ago. It was especially so when she looked at his eyes. Those eyes looked mysterious and intelligent.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Isabella chuckled. The Lang family's genes were not bad at all. Jason Lang turned out to be very outstanding.

Meanwhile, Jason was also sizing up Isabella. The girl who left the Lang family in a sorry state by herself five years ago was now bright and beautiful, exuding elegance and composure from head to toe.

She must have had a good life all these years.

He couldn't even see through the current her.

Then, his gaze fixed on her slender and fair fingers.

"You're married?" Jason was shocked.

"Did Mr. Lang invite me here just to pry about my private life?" Isabella asked calmly.

Jason looked at her indifferent expression and said, "I saw the video online. My parents and I regret it very much. They asked me to bring you home."

He looked at Isabella expectantly.

However, Isabella was neither happy nor angry. She smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Lang, I'm sure you're joking. I am indeed related by blood to the Lang family, but that's not important.

"You should have understood that I am no longer related to the Lang family ever since that meeting five years

ago.

"I already have a home, and it has nothing to do with you or the Lang family.

"I'm sure you know what I mean since Mr. Lang is an intelligent person."

Jason looked at her with a complicated expression.

The girl opposite him was calm and indifferent, but also ruthless and cold.

She did not have any expectations for the Lang family.

He understood. Of course, he understood.

However, Jason suddenly felt a pang of guilt. His heart felt empty. He remembered what he had said to her five years ago. He said that he only acknowledged Sammy as his sister.

But now, he felt that the girl in front of him was calm and natural. She was more like his sister.

Why did he say that to his sister five years ago?

Even if he didn't acknowledge her, he shouldn't have hurt her.

But now, there seemed to be no chance of salvaging the situation and the pain he had caused her.

A pained look flashed across Jason's eyes.

Jason closed his eyes and calmed himself down. He asked, "What exactly happened five years ago?"

This piqued Isabella's interest. She looked at Jason and said, "What happened five years ago? Does Mr. Lang really want to know?"

Jason looked at her and nodded seriously. "Yes, I want to know. Can you tell me?"

"Will you believe what I say?" Isabella asked with a smile.

"Yes, I will," Jason said in a very serious tone.
