Chapter 98 Cleaning House
Draxton looked at Patriarch Riker with a deep gaze and said indifferently, “Patriarch Riker, what are you saying? If I don’t spoil my own wife, should I spoil outsiders instead?”
Patriarch Riker was so angry that he almost couldn’t breathe.
Lindon and the others hurriedly supported Patriarch Riker. Lindon sneered and said, “Chieftain Lockwood, I hope you won’t regret it.”
He looked at Draxton arrogantly and sneered in his heart, figuring that when Bridget returned, Draxton would definitely regret it. At that time, Draxton would know what he had missed…
Lindon smiled coldly and said to Patriarch Riker, “Dad, don’t be angry. We’re elders. We won’t lower ourselves to the level of a junior.”
Patriarch Riker’s eyes flashed. At this point, Bridget would definitely not be able to marry into the Lockwood family, but it was still not worth ruining their relationship nonetheless. After all, Ethan was coming back.
By then, a daughter of the Lockwood family might marry into the Riker family. He saw that the two families would definitely get joined somehow, so there was no need to fall out now.
With that thought in mind, Patriarch Riker did not say anything else. Instead, he walked towards Carlos. “President Orwell, don’t be angry. I heard you reprimanding the juniors in your sect just now?”
Patriarch Riker looked at Isabella.
Carlos snorted coldly. “It’s embarrassing to say, but since we’ve met here, I naturally have to say a few words. I don’t feel good even if I don’t say it. No matter what, she’s still a junior in my sect.”
He looked coldly at Isabella.
Isabella was so angry that she wanted to laugh. She looked at Carlos and asked again, “President Orwell, are you sure you’re my uncle-master?”
Carlos’s face darkened. He was so angry that he laughed and shouted, “Greg Falkona is my senior brother and you’re his disciple. Do you think that I’m not your uncle-master?”
At this moment, everyone looked at them gossipily. The liveliness before this election was really an eye-opener. They had heard that Carlos indeed had a senior brother, but they had heard that he was already dead.
But now that Carlos said that, it was obvious that his senior brother was not dead.
“Since he didn’t die, why hadn’t we heard of it all these years?” Everyone wondered.
Compared to Carlos who had saved countless lives and was re-elected as the president of the Traditional Medicine Association for 40 years, his senior brother was too low-key.
It was nice to say that he was low-key, but the fact might be that he just might not be capable. Isabella was seen a proof of that ineptitude.
Everyone from the Riker family looked at Isabella, anticipating further mishaps to befall her. It didn’t matter that Isabella was capable at the moment.
Her abilities could not be compared to Carlos’s. On that day, Isabella would definitely be humiliated, and the Lockwood family would also lose face.
Just as everyone was thinking about that, Isabella’s expression suddenly turned cold. This beautiful, dignified, and energetic woman suddenly had an indescribable dignity and superior aura.
That sort of bearing was too cold and too dignified, and it actually caused the hearts of everyone present to unconsciously tighten, and all of them felt as if they were being overwhelmed.
They were all shocked. For a moment, the hall was filled with gasps.
“How how was this possible?
“How could Isabella have such a powerful aura?” Everyone thought.
The next moment, he heard Isabella say, “I really didn’t expect you to be so bold, Carlos Orwell. I haven’t even looked for you to clean house, and you dare to be so shameless as to try to get chummy with me?
“My uncle master? Heh, you think that you’re worthy of that title?” She thought.
My master said that he did have a junior brother in the past. However, that junior brother of his was a traitor to his sect and teacher through and through. That junior brother violated the sect rules and was long expelled from the sect by the Grandmaster.”
