Chapter 157 The Assembly
Isabella and Draxton left the dungeon and returned to the living room. The moment they arrived at the living room, they saw Zolo sitting upright on the sofa eating an orange. When he saw them return, he immediately greeted them with a smile. “You’re back? I just saw someone come in and leave in one piece. How kind of you”
Draxton and Isabella rolled their eyes at him. “When do you plan to leave?”
This guy had already completed the acupuncture procedure, his body was recuperated too, yet he still refused to leave and stuck around.
Zolo smiled. “Soon. I’ll leave soon.”
Draxton and Isabella nodded. “That’s good.”
Zolo looked at them like he was complaining. “Mr. Lockwood, Miraculous Doctor, you’re all famous people, is me staying here really so much trouble? Why are you so eager to chase me away?”
Draxton and Isabella could not be bothered with him.
Looking at their cruel back views, Zolo could not help but complain, “They are too cold, not hospitable at all.” The next morning, the news that the Riker family people had been arrested for investigation was completely publicized. All of the Riker family’s businesses had been investigated. The only people left were the Riker family’s second wife and the three members of Gerald Riker’s family. They were the only innocent people left in the Riker family.
Gerald arranged for his two children to leave the country.
Neither Ethan nor Esther felt it was safe to let Gerald stay. However, Gerald had to take care of Patriarch, who was hospitalized.
Silas walked in and reported, “patriarch, Mrs. Lockwood. Our people just sent word that we’ve searched the moat thoroughly and found no body of Jason Lang. I’ve confirmed that Jason Lang is missing.”
Isabella stopped drinking tea. “Missing?”
“Yes, missing. If he’s dead, there would be traces, but it’s too clean,”
Silas said.
Isabella said softly. “This is really interesting. A person who was knocked into the river by a car actually escaped and disappeared. If he’s alive, why didn’t he go home?”
Silas continued, “Also, Samantha Lang has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. She’s already in prison.”
Isabella’s expression was calm. Everything was within her expectations.
Silas hesitated for a moment. “Mr. and Mrs. Lang, they’re not in a good mood…”
Isabella said, “I got it. Tell them that Jason is still alive so they’ll still have hope, that’s all I can do.”
“Yes,” Silas replied and turned to leave.
Draxton looked at Isabella and said, “Bella, do you want to go to the hospital again?”
Isabella shook his head. “There’s no need.”
Zolo stood at the staircase and tilted his head to listen to them.
He walked over and sat down opposite them. “I heard that Lawrence and Fernando are coming over later too.” Draxton nodded briefly.
Zolo leaned against the back of the sofa and looked at Draxton and Isabella with interest in his blue eyes. “In the past, Mr. Lockwood always attended the assembly alone, while Miraculous Doctor has never appeared. This year is going to be different, I see.”
Draxton smiled “Well, you single people can only envy us!”
Zolo’s teasing expression froze for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he could not help but feel speechless
At this moment, Cooper walked in and said respectfully, “patriarch, Mr. Fernando and Mr. Lawrence have
Lupted The Assembly
arrived.”
As Cooper spoke, two people had already appeared in the living room.
Before Draxton and Isabella could greet them, Lawrence rushed up excitedly. “Miraculous Doctor, Miraculous Doctor, I’m here I’m here to devote my life to you!”
