Chapter 340 The Disliked Mr. Lockwood
Draxton raised his hand and said, “Sit down first.”
An unnatural expression flashed across James’s face. He also realized that he had been too impatient. Six months ago, when he was sent back to the Mystical Island, he had been waiting for this day.
However, he did not expect the patriarch to arrive so quickly!
As if knowing what he was thinking, Draxton said, “I didn’t plan to come so soon. According to our plan, I should only come to the Mystical Island six months later. It was just a coincidence that Betty was brought to the Mystical Island, so our plan could only be brought forward.”
James nodded. “Mr. Lockwood, the underground chamber of commerce is operating very well now. Theo has established a stable interest relationship with a portion of the forces on the Mystical Island.”
“I know,” said Draxton. Then, he looked at James and said, “I’ve waited for so many years. We can almost avenge your mother. Don’t be anxious. Be more patient.”
James adjusted his silver-framed glasses. His fingers trembled slightly as he said, “I will.”
After saying that, his excited expression gradually calmed down.
Isabella listened to them quietly. Draxton explained to her, “When I met James back then, we were still young. I was covered in injuries. I saved him and knew that he had a huge grudge to take. All these years, we had been enduring it.
“At that time, I planned to let the Lockwood family’s forces infiltrate into the Mystical Island, so I sent Theo to the Mystical Island. Theo did not disappoint me.”
Isabella was a little surprised. “Is the underground chamber of commerce on the Mystical Island an existence that is not inferior to any large faction… yours?”
Isabella looked at Draxton.
Receiving Isabella’s shock, Draxton puffed out his chest slightly with a proud expression.
James was slightly stunned as he looked at Draxton in astonishment.
“How did… Mr. Lockwood become like this?
“He’s a little childish,” thought James.
James looked at Isabella. He felt that the patriarch’s wife was really not simple.
He had long heard that Martin and Alan had been punished by the patriarch for offending Isabella. The punishment was not light.
Isabella and Draxton looked at each other.
At this moment, Draxton’s hair and nails were all telling the same message to Isabella. “Praise me, praise me.”
Isabella’s eyes were filled with admiration as she said, “Draxton, you’re so amazing.”
Draxton immediately felt light-headed. Not only was his face flushed, but even his ears were completely red. Before James came, he never expected that he would have to bw showed off by this couple just to discuss something with the patriarch.
Moreover, at this moment, the patriarch seemed to have an invisible peacock tail behind him that was extremely ostentatious.
James tactfully remained silent. After all, he was not sure if the patriarch would bear a grudge against him if he interrupted the patriarch now.
“What’s going on with the Beck family?” Fortunately, Isabella was the first to break the strange atmosphere. James hurriedly said respectfully, “Mrs. Lockwood, you also know that the Beck family is one of the four big families on the Mystical Island. The Beck family’s power on the Mystical Island is intertwined. Moreover, the Beck family and some of the underground forces in District 9 are involved in interests. If we really want to rule District 9, the Beck family is not a small obstacle.
“Of course, other than the Beck family, there are other families who are also watching.”
Isabella nodded. “I know. I’m afraid no one would want us to really rule District 9.*
“Actually, if the Lockwood family were to form an alliance with the Beck family, the Beck family might help support Mr. Lockwood. Therefore, before we really become enemies, the Beck family might use some special methods…”
James spoke carefully.
Isabella was stunned for a moment. Then, she squinted hers eyes and said, “Special methods?”
“The Beck family has a daughter called Annie Beck,” said James.
Isabella’s aura instantly turned cold.
James hurriedly said, “Mrs. Lockwood. Actually, it’s not just the Beck family. I’m afraid the other families and forces have similar thoughts. After all, if could form an alliance with the Lockwood family, there will be endless benefits.”
Isabella was so angry that she laughed. Then, she looked at Draxton unkindly.
When a woman was jealous, she would be very unreasonable.
