Chapter 307 Playing Innocent
As soon as Isabella finished speaking, Cecilia’s expression changed.
She said in a daze, “You were indeed the student of Jocelyn Grey. You’re just as ruthless as her.
*Jane is just a little playful. Why do you have to make it sound so serious?”
Her face turned pale, and her expression became indifferent as if she had suffered a great grievance.
Julian patted her thin shoulder comfortingly and said, “Celia, don’t be sad.”
Isabella was disgusted by this scene.
Thinking about what Olivia had suffered in that laboratory and Clan Mobius’s people disguised as her to
confuse them, she knew they were accomplices.
Fortunately, they had recognized the fake. Otherwise, the real Olivia might have died without anyone
knowing.
Isabella looked at Cecilia and Julian with extreme disgust. “They were probably here to disgust us.”
Draxton’s expression darkened as well.
He looked sharply at Julian and said, “Mr. Doyle, even if you are a member of the tribunal committee,
there is no room for discussion on this matter.
“We have to ask Miss Grey, what’s your intention for pretending to be Miss Lockwood?
“Did you also collaborate with Jasper Willsmith to hurt my family? The Lockwood family will not let this
matter rest.
“Please leave. Cooper, see the guest out.”
Finishing, Draxton and Isabella stood up. They turned around to leave without any hesitation.
Cecilia was shocked.
Julian narrowed his eyes and stared at the back of Isabella and Draxton. “It seems that my identity is not
enough to make you compromise.
“Then, why don’t you take a look at this plaque?”
As he spoke, he took out another plaque.
Isabella and Draxton stopped in their tracks and stared at the plaque that Julian had taken out, which
was clearly different from the previous one.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was because this plaque had eight white flames.
If one white flame meant an ordinary member of the tribunal committee, then two meant a member of a
higher level. Then, three, four… until nine.
In that case, the Eight-flame Plaque that Julian took out meant the tribunal committee’s upper echelons.
This was what it meant to be second only to one person and above everyone else.
It was well known that the Nine-flame Plaque was unique to the tribunal committee’s president.
Since ancient times, the entire tribunal committee had only one Nine-flame Plaque.
Secondly, there was only one Eight-flame Plaque, which was unique to the vice president.
The vice president was second only to the president. If the president died, the vice president would be
the first heir
Draxton and Isabella stared at the Nine-flame Plaque. Their hearts were in turmoil.
They looked at the plaque and then at Julian. They never expected that Julian was the vice president of
the tribunal committee!
However, they also knew that the president of the tribunal committee died three years ago.
At that time, the vice president’s surname was not Doyle but Wright.
However, the vice president surnamed Wright disappeared later. And he left the vice president’s position
to someone else.
At this point, the newly appointed vice president became a mysterious existence in the outside world.
Because he had never shown his face in public.
No one knew who the new vice president was.
This was because the newly appointed vice president held the power of the tribunal committee alone.
Although he was a vice president, he was no different from the actual president.
Julian kept the Nine-flame Plaque and sighed. “Forgive me if I’m being too boastful.
“Before my teacher passed away, he passed over the original vice president and handed over the Eight-
flame Plaque to me. At the same time, he handed over the entire tribunal committee to me.
“In the past few years, I’ve been keeping a low profile because I didn’t want to replace my teacher so
quickly. Today, I had no choice but to expose my identity because I wanted to save someone.
“I hope you can do me this favor.”
If the president of the tribunal committee asked them to hand over the person, then there was basically
no possibility for Isabella and Draxton to refuse
Isabella’s face was cold. She did not expect Julian to have such a strong background.
Draxton looked at Silas, who was outside the door. “Bring her over.”
Silas heard the order and left. Draxton looked at Julian again. “We can hand her over, but Clan Mobius
must
give us an explanation. Otherwise, this matter will not be justified.”
Cecilia answered, “Jane is just playful.”
Draxton let out a deep breath.
Julian looked at Cecilia gently.
Not long after, Jane was brought up.
She did not eat or drink in the dungeon and naturally did not sleep. She looked rather haggard.
She had already revealed her own appearance. As soon as she saw Cecilia and Julian, her face turned
pale, and tears welled up. She said aggrievedly. “Miss Grey, Mr. Doyle…”
Cecilia angrily looked at Draxton and Isabella and said, “You’re ruthless to treat a girl like this!”
She looked at the bruises on Jane’s wrist.
Jane rolled her eyes. She already knew that with her master and Mr. Doyle, the Lockwood family
wouldn’t dare to do anything to her. She would be free soon.
She glared at Isabella, saying inwardly, “Hmph, when I was free, I would totally teach this woman a
lesson. There was no way she could snatch the position of the Saintess from me!”
Thinking of this, she felt even more aggrieved. She looked at Cecilia sadly and said, “Miss Grey, it’s all
my fault. I shouldn’t have been playful. I didn’t expect the Lockwood family to be so bored. They actually
locked me in the dungeon!
“They’re so fierce. They don’t even give me food or water. Boohoo…”
Cecilia’s expression became angrier and angrier as she heard this. She said, “You are treating her like a
criminal!”
She looked at Isabella sorely. “I didn’t expect Jocelyn Grey to teach you to be so vicious. As the
Miraculous Doctor, you should have a heart of compassion. You don’t deserve the name of Miraculous

“Although Clan Mobius was passed down through bug poison crafting, our first rule was that the
practitioner must be pure and kind-hearted.
“I originally planned to let you be the Saintess of Clan Mobius, but from what I have seen, forget it!”
Isabella’s face turned darker and darker.
She said inwardly. “This woman’s ability to disgust people was top-notch!”
Upon hearing this, Jane was delighted and said sadly, “Miss Grey. It’s all my fault…”
Cecilia glanced at Jane. “How can it be your fault? You’re just a little playful. You didn’t do anything
wrong.”
Julian smiled and said, “Mr. Lockwood, Mrs. Lockwood, thank you for cutting me some slack…”
Before he could finish speaking, Isabella suddenly moved.
At the same time, Jane let out an anguished scream.
Blood splattered, and a finger flew far away.
Jane looked at her bleeding right hand, missing an index finger. Her eyes were wide open, and she
screamed non-stop. In the end, she fainted.
Cecilia and Julian were both stunned.
However, this was not the end. Draxton fired. The bullet passed through Jane’s left ear and completely
blew it
off.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
After a long while, Cecilia said in shock, “You… you…
Her face was deathly pale, and she was on the verge of collapse,
However, Isabella looked sad. “We have let Olivia down. As her sister-in-law, I can’t kill the person
pretending to be her to avenge her. This is my dereliction of duty as her sister-in-law
“However, we were more willing to do Mr. Doyle a favor. We didn’t take her life, but to appease the guilt
in our hearts, we only broke one of her fingers and took one of her ears as a minor punishment.
“Draxton, we’ve let Olivia down. Boohoo…”
Isabella could cry whenever she wanted. She threw herself into Draxton’s arms and trembled gently. She
looked extremely fragile and pitiful.
“You are not the only one who can play innocent.” She chuckled silently.
