Chapter 284 Alanna Digging Her Own Grave
The President smiled and said, “You don’t have to be nervous. Whether you believe it or not, I don’t have
any ill intentions toward you. After all, you are his student. Perhaps your relationship is not just that of a
teacher and student. The two of you may be even closer
“I know Wesley too well. He looks cold, but he values relationships more than anyone else.”
Isabella stared at the coffee in the cup and said softly, “Mr. Lyons is indeed cold on the outside but warm
on the inside.”
The President smiled and sighed. “That’s right. We are brothers. How can there be overnight enmity
between biological brothers? He did not reconcile with me because his anger had not yet subsided.
“You are his student, so he might listen to you. That is why I invited you here. I actually want you to
persuade him.”
Isabella looked at the President calmly and said, “I’ll pass on your words to Mr. Lyons when I have the
chance.”
As for whether he would listen to it, that was Mr. Lyons’s choice. Of course, she chose to take Mr.
Lyons’s side without hesitation.
As if reading her mind, the President smiled and shook his head. “You have quite the same temper as
him… You don’t have to be so wary of me. Come, I have a few calligraphy paintings here. Come and
take a look.” As he spoke, he stood up and called Isabella towards a wall not far away.
Outside, Anna and the other two stood quietly and waited. Suddenly, a guard walked over and reported,
“Miss Lyons, something happened at the training camp.”
Anna frowned and turned to Jason and Alanna. “You guys guard here. Don’t disturb the President if
there’s nothing important.”
Jason nodded, and so did Alanna.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly then did Anna leave with the guard.
However, as soon as Anna left, Alanna became restless.
She thought of an idea and said to Jason out of nowhere, “I have something to do and need to leave for
a while.”
Jason frowned and looked at her coldly.
Alanna left before Jason could say anything.
Not long after, Alanna returned.
She was holding a tray with a few plates of snacks in it.
When Jason saw her like that, he could not help but frown. He suddenly had a bad gut feeling and said
coldly, “What are you doing?”
Alanna smiled at him. “I noticed that there were no snacks inside. I’m going to send some snacks to the
President.”
Jason’s temple twitched as he reminded, “Have you forgotten what Anna just told you?”
Alanna pursed her lips and smiled. “I know. I’m not going to disturb the President. I’m just going to deliver
a few plates of snacks. How can this be called disturbing?”
With that, she ignored Jason and carried the snacks into the reception hall.
Alanna’s eyes flashed with a gloat. Isabella was probably getting scolded by the President over what
happened before.
No matter how arrogant Isabella was, she still had to bow down in front of the President.
Alanna was looking forward to it. She just wanted to see Isabella in a sorry state. At the same time, she
wanted to show her face in front of the President and gain a favorable impression.
At the thought of that, she sneered to herself. Anna was highly regarded because she was the
President’s adoptive daughter. If Alanna herself could win the President’s favor and be placed in an
important position, she would not have to be suppressed and ordered around by Anna.
They were all from the same training camp. Who was nobler than the other? Why did Anna always act
like she was superior?
Alanna’s plans went smoothly in her mind, but when she walked into the reception hall, she did not see
anyone at the table.
There were two cups of coffee on the table. Alanna was stunned. What was going on? Did the President
invite Isabella for coffee?
She held the tray and looked around for the President and Isabella. She saw the two of them standing in
front of the wall not far away.
The wall was hung with the President’s calligraphy and paintings.
The President was introducing them to Isabella with a smile, and Isabella was listening attentively. The
two of them actually seemed to be getting along quite well.
Isabella was not getting scolded badly as Alanna had imagined, nor was Isabella currying favor to the
President in a lowly manner.
On the contrary, Isabella’s attitude towards the President was no different from how she treated ordinary
people.
Alanna’s pupils constricted, and a trace of unwillingness flashed across her eyes. She uncontrollably
tightened her grip on the tray.
Her arms wobbled a little, and the saucers in the tray clinked softly.
The President, who was explaining the paintings to Isabella excitedly, immediately turned around. When
he saw Alanna standing there with a tray, he frowned.
A hint of displeasure appeared on his soft face. He asked, “What are you doing?”
Alanna felt like someone was squeezing her heart. She smiled sweetly and said, “Sir, I didn’t mean to
disturb you. It’s just… It’s just some snacks. I’ll leave after putting them down.”
With that, she picked up the plates of snacks on the tray and placed them on the table.
“Take it away. We don’t need it here,” the President said.
There was not much anger in his tone, but it was dignified and irrefutable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlanna’s movements froze. She was holding the last plate of snacks and was about to place it on the
table. However, at that moment, it felt wrong to both place it down and retract her hand.
Her face was filled with embarrassment, and the smile on her lips was as stiff as it could be.
Isabella stood beside the President and looked at Alanna with a faint smirk. Alanna’s gaze inadvertently
slid past Isabella, and Isabella raised her eyebrows at Alanna in amusement.
Alanna’s face instantly turned red. She braced herself and put down the last plate of snacks.
“Sir, don’t you have a guest here? Perhaps she wants to eat. I will take my leave now.”
Alanna turned around and fled in a sorry state. She bit her lips in shame, and her eyes could not help but
turn red.
What right did Isabella have?
It was one thing for the Lockwood family to think highly of her, but even the President treated her
differently The President’s calligraphy and paintings were never shown to outsiders. Even Anna did not
dare to approach his calligraphy and paintings.
Looking at Alanna back, Isabella smiled and said, “Your subordinate is really considerate.”
The President sighed. “I have embarrassed myself in front of you.”
With that, he glanced in a direction.
Immediately, two figures flashed out and pounced toward Alanna.
Alanna had just stepped out of the reception hall when her arms were grabbed by two black figures. The
tray in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.
Alanna opened her mouth to scream, but just as she opened her mouth, a handkerchief was stuffed into
it. There was a pungent smell of the potion. Alanna felt a sharp pain in her head and instantly fainted.
The two guards dragged Alanna away like trash.
Jason watched that scene indifferently.
In the reception hall, two guards quickly appeared and took away the snacks and coffee on the table.
After a while, someone brought new coffee over, and the reception hall returned to silence. All of that
took multiple lines to describe, but in fact, it happened in just a few minutes.
