Chapter 435
The atmosphere fell silent again. Then, deathly silence filled the air.
Everyone was stunned. They looked at the President quietly, and confusion gradually appeared in their eyes.
They thought, "Why... was the President's attitude towards Isabella s-so amiable?
"That was not normal!"
Isabella looked at the President expressionlessly.
The President sighed and looked at Denver Wheeler and the others. He said, '
Everyone, you know that Bella is the Miraculous Doctor. You shouldn't be biased against her. She's not an ordinary woman."
Darius and the other three, as well as Denver, had stiff expressions. They did not know what to say.
However, they could not humble themselves and apologize to Isabella.
Moreover, the President's attitude was too unpredictable. Logically speaking, shouldn't the President be hostile to Draxton and Isabella?
The President said, ' Everyone, you do not know this but Bella is my niece.'
Isabella squinted slightly and quietly watched the President brag.
Draxton could not bear to listen anymore. The President was trying too hard to establish a relationship with Isabella. He looked at the silent crowd and said calmly, "Everyone, it looks like you should apologize to my wife."
The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Dominic said, "Even if we're in the wrong, you and your wife beat my wife until she bled yesterday. There has to be an explanation for this!" Killing intent gradually filled Draxton's eyes. He said coldly, "You want an explanation?
Dominic Lockwood, I have already given you face, right?"
Dominic was stunned.
"Your wife barged into the old residence yesterday, held my son hostage, and provoked my mother. I have yet to settle scores with you, yet you have the cheek to ask me for an explanation? "Fine, let's talk about it now. Did you order your wife to do what she did yesterday? Do you really think I'm dead?"
Dominic's face alternated between emotions, and a guilty look flashed across his eyes.
Draxton shouted, Dominic, say something! How are you going to explain this matter?
Or are you also taking orders from others?"
Draxton looked at the President meaningfully.
It was one thing for him to be willing to hand over a portion of his assets, but it was another thing for others to bully him.
The President's expression changed. He asked angrily, "Dominic, what's going on?
"Although you are loyal to me, you dared to allow your family to be disrespectful to your former master. Who would dare to entrust anything to a person like you?"
Dominic was pale. He jumped up in shock and said, "Sir, I didn't know. I really didn't know. It was my wife's unilateral decision...
"She hid it from me and said that she was going to visit Madame Lockwood. Who would have thought that s-she actually did such a thing!
"Sir, I'll definitely teach her a lesson when I get back!' The President said,' Don't say that to me!"
Dominic quickly turned to Draxton. "Draxton, Draxton, I really didn't know about this. I've spoiled my wife too much. I'll definitely teach her a lesson when I get back!" Draxton sneered. I'll take it that you didn't know.
"If you want to discipline your woman, that's your business. However, my wife can't have suffered for no reason.'
Dominic looked suffocated. In the end, he looked at Isabella unwillingly and said,
"Isabella, I was rude previously. Please don't take offense." Isabella's expression was calm. She slowly sat down and looked at the crowd casually.
She looked past Dominic and the other three at the same time, her gaze landing on Denver.
'Mr. Wheeler, is it? Didn't you shout the loudest before?"
Denver looked embarrassed.
He had always wanted the Wheeler family to replace the Lockwood family, but now it seemed that the President's attitude was unclear.
Yax immediately looked at Isabella with hostility when he saw that Isabella was targeting his father.
Denver panicked even more when he saw that the President was also looking at them and silently intimidating them.
At this moment, Michael Flouder stood up and said, 'Miraculous Doctor, it was indeed Denver's fault previously. He may be a little impulsive, but he doesn't have any bad intentions. "Let me apologize to you on his behalf. Please don't take offense on account of Patriarch Barker."
As he spoke, he picked up the coffee in his hand and drank it in one gulp. Denver glanced at Michael. After holding his breath for a long time, he said,
"Miraculous Doctor, I didn't mean it. It's all a misunderstanding."
The President looked at Isabella and smiled. "It's all a misunderstanding, Bella. Have a seat."
Isabella also stopped looking for trouble. She knew when to stop.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
At this moment, Draxton said, "Sir, in addition to Greensworth, Whitley, Vallan, and Blacksmoore, I plan to hand the Lockwood family's Vernon Branch in the country to you to manage."
This time, not only was everyone stunned, even the President was shocked. He gripped the coffee cup in his hand tightly and looked up at Draxton silently.
"The Vernon Branch is a faction developed by the ancestors of the Lockwood family.
From a hundred years ago, in this chaotic world, the Vernon Branch had always been the mainstay of Lockwood family. It had contributed greatly to the Lockwood family. Draxton, you are going to hand them over?"
The President said solemnly.
"The Vernon Branch has an extraordinary meaning to the Lockwood family. However, their time has passed and the Vernon Branch is no longer the Vernon Branch of the past. I feel that handing the Vernon Branch over to the President is the best place for them to return to.' Draxton replied.
The President's expression was somewhat serious.
If the betrayal of the four departments of Big Dipper was to cut off half of the
Lockwood family's empire, then Draxton handing over the Vernon Branch would be handing over the thing that the Lockwood family relied on the greatest.
From now on, the Lockwood family would no longer be a terrifying ferocious beast.
Instead, they would become ordinary creatures.
Although the Lockwood family would still be a top-notch aristocratic family in Lucsia after handing over these things, they would no longer be as powerful as before. Draxton had personally removed the fangs of the ferocious beast, the Lockwood family.
Darius and the others stared at Draxton as if they had seen a ghost.
Denver was also stunned.
Only Michael was deep in thought.
The President did not speak for a moment. Coincidentally, at this moment, the bamboo curtain was lifted and Wesley Lyons walked in with a dark expression.
Everyone looked up at him. the President immediately smiled and called out, "Wesley, you're here? I thought you weren't coming!"
Wesley glanced at him indifferently. 'Of course, I'll come. If I didn't, what if my two children get bullied?"
As he spoke, he walked straight toward Draxton and sat down.
Everyone could not help but gasp.
"Sir, what does Mr. Lyons mean by this?" Darius asked with a lack of confidence.
Or rather, they all wanted to know what relationship Wesley had with the Lockwood family.
