Chapter 334 Heading To The District Master’s Manor
Julian’s way of putting it was rather clumsy, but he did make some sense.
If the news that Draxton was about to control District 9 were to leak, it could make the various forces of District 9 might want to rebel.
In particular, the people on the Mystical Island were abnormally xenophobic.
Everyone knew that Julian was quibbling, but they did not have evidence of it.
However, Landon’s expression did not change. He looked at Julian indifferently and said, “Julian, we’ll be able to find evidence if you were the one who did this. I hope you won’t leave any traces.
“As long as you leave a trace, we will find it.”
Julian stared fixedly at Landon who stared back at him. Their gazes met, and the electrifying and threatening murderous intent grew between the two.
Landon’s expression was cold, and Julian’s eyes were filled with danger. In the end, Julian looked away first. He looked at Isabella and Draxton and said, “Mr. Lockwood, Miraculous Doctor, this matter has nothing to do with me. Although we had had our conflicts before, you have to believe me. I definitely won’t assassinate your daughter.”
Isabella said, “Mr. Duncan, we need evidence to prove whether you assassinated our daughter or not. I agree with Mr. Wright. If you had done it, there would be traces of your doings. Mr. Duncan, I hope you really didn’t do it.
“As for District 9, it will eventually be ours.”
Julian said confidently, “Miraculous Doctor, go ahead and investigate. You must clear my name as soon as possible.”
He glanced at Landon. “As for some people slandering me, his evil intentions will be exposed one day.” Julian spoke confidently. Draxton looked at him deeply. “Mr. Duncan, remember what you said today. If we find out evidence that you were involved, I am sure you know what will happen to you and the Doyle family. “You don’t need me to tell you what will happen to those who have hurt the Lockwood family.”
Then, Draxton ignored Julian’s stiff and ugly expression and walked up to Landon. “Thank you for taking care of Betty, Mr. Wright.”
Draxton was indeed very grateful to Landon. Looking at Betty, he was sure that she had been doing well recently.
“You’re welcome, Mr. Lockwood. We and Betty go a long way back. We should take care of her!”
Landon was a little embarrassed. They were too poor and could not give the little girl any material goods. The food they ate was really simple, but the little girl was not picky when it came to food. It was really endearing.
At this moment, Isabella also said, “Betty, have you been very happy recently? You have to tell Mommy what you have been up to recently.”
Betty’s eyes were bright as she nodded vigorously and said in a crisp voice, “Sure! I go out and perform with Mr. Wright every day. It’s really fun!”
Isabella was rendered speechless.
And so was Landon.
Landon’s expression immediately became extremely awkward. He actually took the girl out to make money though he was taking care of her. How embarrassing!
Draxton was speechless for a moment before saying calmly, “…It’s very meaningful.”
He sounded rather forced.
Draxton’s heart ached. His daughter had been performing to make a living!
However, Betty did not understand the adults’ embarrassment at all. Her eyes were bright and her face was flushed as she said, “Daddy, Mommy, I will bring you guys to perform tomorrow to earn money, okay?”
Isabella had nothing to say to that.
Draxton fell silent.
Looking at her daughter’s expectant expression, Isabella didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, take Mommy to perform with you tomorrow, Betty!”
Betty’s eyes were filled with joy. She was exhilarated.
Isabella hugged Betty’s tiny body and smiled at her dotingly.
Draxton looked at them, suddenly looking forward to tomorrow.
