Chapter 328 The Banquet
Draxton and Isabella looked around calmly, taking in the expressions of everyone in the banquet hall.
Some did not take to the news too kindly. Some looked hostile, while others were cold and even malicious.
Julian was beaming from ear to ear. He was obviously in a good mood. He said loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, the identities of these two new members are very special. They do not belong to Mystical Island, but they have very distinguished backgrounds.
“They are the patriarch of the Lockwood family, Mr. Draxton Lockwood, and the famous Miraculous Doctor, Miss Isabella Thompson!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a series of gasps from the crowd.
Even though Mystical Island had no contact with the outside world and did not welcome outsiders, it was still a place on Earth. Therefore, they knew about Draxton and Isabella’s reputations.
Needless to say, the Lockwood family was a large family with an ancient heritage.
They also knew about Isabella’s meteoric rise in reputation over the past few years.
Some of the renowned doctors from Mystical Island had claimed that Isabella could bring the sick people whom these doctors could not cure back to life.
For a moment, everyone in the banquet hall looked at the two of them with curiosity and admiration.
They all knew that the status of these two people was no lower than Julian, the vice president of the tribunal committee.
At the end of the hall sat a distinguished-looking lady. Although her clothes were clean and neat, her looks were a little dated. Her face was ashen.
The old lady was accompanied by a middle-aged man and a woman, as well as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man and woman quickly held the old lady’s hand and said softly, “Mom.”
They shook their heads at the old lady.
The old lady’s expression calmed down a little, but she still could not hide the paleness on her face. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
*Julian managed to get such powerful people from the outside world. Landon and the others are already in a difficult position. I’m afraid now…”
The middle-aged man quickly advised, “Mom, we have to believe in Landon. As long as Julian doesn’t get the Nine-flame Plaque, the council will not agree to him being the president. Don’t worry too much about it, Mom.”
The middle-aged woman also said, “Yes, George is right. Mom, don’t worry too much. Besides, Mr. Lockwood and Mrs. Lockwood may not be loyal to Julian. Perhaps they have ulterior motives for helping him.”
At the side, the young girl who was with them clenched her fists and stared coldly at Julian, who was looking very smug on the stage. Her eyes burned with intense anger and hatred.
It was this despicable and shameless person who killed her grandfather. He loved her the most.
The old president of the tribunal committee was the previous patriarch of the Wright family, her maternal grandfather.
The Wright family was in a gloomy mood. However, the Doyle family was in high spirits.
Robert and Claudia were smiling widely. Both elder sons of the Doyle family were also full of smiles.
Wayne said to them, “Dad, Mom, with these two powerful people. Julian will definitely be able to make Landon hand over the Nine-flarne Plaque. The position of the president of the tribunal committee will certainly be his.”
“That’s right!” Edward Doyle quipped.
Pleased, Robert and Claudia nodded in agreement. Claudia, especially, could not stop smiling.
She turned to look at Old Madam Wright with a smug look in her eyes. “Even the heavens are helping our Julian Old Madam Wright, don’t you think so?”
Claudia’s eyes were fixed on Old Madam Wright. She wanted to gloat at her embarrassment and despair.
In the past, the Wright family was so glorious. Every time Claudia saw Davina, she could only eat the humble pie
