Chapter 342
It was such ***words, but Fionna did not feel uncomfortable at all. She even blushed and said, “***, Andy and I are true love. How can we have any tricks?
“However, I’ll teach Annie well.”
As she spoke, she looked at Annie and said, “Annie, you have to listen to me. Don’t be rude…”
Before she could finish speaking, she realized that Annie was staring blankly ahead. Her entire face was flushed red, and her eyes were filled with ripples. It was obvious that her heart was fluttering.
Fionna was stunned.
She followed Annie’s gaze and saw Draxton’s tall and upright figure.
Fionna’s heart skipped a beat.
Just like how men loved beautiful women, women also liked such outstanding men.
Fionna turned to look at Annie. She reached out and pulled her arm, reminding her in a low voice, “Annie…”
Annie came back to her senses and whispered to Fionna, “****, is that man Draxton?”
Fionna glanced at her teasingly. “Why? Have you taken a fancy to him? Didn’t you say that he’s not worthy of you?”
Annie’s face turned red as she stomped her foot in anger. “***!”
Fionna smiled. She and Old Madam Beck looked at each other. Old Madam Beck also saw Annie’s emotions. She smiled and said, “See, I told you that Annie wouldn’t disappoint us.”
She looked at Annie and whispered, “Annie, your mother didn’t disappoint your grandmother. I hope you won’t disappoint her either. If you defeat Isabella, then you’ll be Mrs. Lockwood.”
Annie’s face turned solemn. She glanced at Draxton, who looked extremely compatible with Isabella. Instantly, she felt as if her heart raced and ached at the same time. It was painful and itchy, and she wished she could immediately replace Isabella.
Her expression changed. It was fine if she did not like Draxton, but now, she clearly fell in love with Draxton at first sight. How could she tolerate another woman by his side?
Not only did she wanted to replace Isabella, but she also wanted to get rid of Isabella’s child.
Draxton, such a handsome man must be hers!
She wanted to be like her mother and get rid of his first wife to take over the position herself.
Once she became the wife of Draxton, not only would she be able to have that man, but she would also be a great contributor to the Beck family.
Meanwhile, Paul and Andy had already exchanged a few pleasantries with Draxton.
Isabella stood at the side and listened quietly. She had no intention of greeting the female guests.
Old Madam Beck had a problem with that.
She curved her lips in disdain and said, “One has to marry a virtuous wife, and the wife has to be capable as well. This Miraculous Doctor has been labeled Miraculous Doctor for nothing. As Mrs. Lockwood, she actually doesn’t act like a hostess at all. She’s really a burden to her man.”
At this ***, Old Madam Beck looked down on Isabella even more. She felt that such a woman would not become a man’s virtuous wife at all, nor would she be liked by men.
“You’re Miraculous Doctor, aren’t you?” she said lightly. Apart from being polite, she also had a cold aura. That was her sense of superiority.
Isabella turned around and looked at Old Madam Beck. She had heard Draxton talk about this legend.
Old Madam Beck was not a nobody. She helped her niece suppress her daughter-in-law. The aunt-and niece worked together to ***her daughter-in-law, James’s mother. At the same time, she supported her

niece, Fionna, to ascend the throne and ostracized James. She could really be said to be the strangest in the world.
Isabella did not have a good impression of the Beck family. Naturally, she would not lower herself to greet them.
At that ***, Old Madam Beck took the initiative to speak to her first, and her tone was obviously unfriendly. Isabella cocked her brows and replied, “That’s right, I’m Miraculous Doctor.”
Old Madam Beck said, “As Mr. Lockwood’s wife, shouldn’t you greet the female guests?
“It was said that Miraculous Doctor grew up in a commoner’s family, so it was understandable that her etiquette was poor.
“However, you should still be polite. Is this how you treat your elders?”
Isabella looked at Old Madam Beck in surprise. Although Old Madam Beck was a top-notch person, she did not expect her to pick on her and reprimand her as soon as she opened her ***.
Isabella was a little puzzled. She said, “I’ve always been like this. I can’t be bothered with people I ***. Moreover, my elders didn’t say that there was anything wrong with my attitude. They all praised me for being polite!”
Old Madam Beck choked.
“Are you pretending to be confused or are you really confused? Am I not an elder?” Old Madam Beck stared at Isabella with a knife-like gaze. An invisible threat crushed towards her.
In the past, as long as she showed such a look, Ximena would not dare to look into her eyes. She would be very afraid to shrink away from her gaze and ***admit defeat.
Ximena was Andy’s first wife, James’s biological mother’s name.
Unfortunately, Old Madam Beck was up against Isabella.
Isabella’s expression also turned cold. She looked at Old Madam Beck with an even colder gaze and said, “Old Madam Beck, what kind of elder are you to me? Don’t forget your identity. You’re just a guest we
