Chapter 408 Betty Supported Her Mom “Nine old men?” Isabella asked in surprise.
James said with a solemn expression, “Mrs. Lockwood, they must be those people from the council.” Isabella also thought of it. She said, “Invite them in. The rumors these few days are strange. It's obvious that someone is spreading them maliciously behind the scene. It's really useful. They alarmed the people from the council so quickly.” After a while, a group of old men dressed similarly were invited in.
Isabella looked at this scene and her lips could not help but twitch. She felt inexplicably amused.
Isabella stood up and took two steps forward. Just as she was about to speak, the old man in the lead snorted coldly “Hmph, are you the Miraculous Doctor, Isabella? You're so arrogant. You actually made us old men wait for so long.” The Red Crystal Warrior's face darkened. He was very angry. This old man was obviously looking for trouble on purpose They had not waited outside for long.
However, he did not dare to interrupt.
Judging from the old man’s attitude, Isabella knew that they were deliberately making trouble.
Her expression did not change as she said indifferently. “Then I'm sorry for my rudeness. In order to express my apology, I'll invite you to stay for dinner.” “Hmph, who cares? Do you think the meal here is precious enough? We're not hungry!” The second old man walked out, blowing his beard and glaring.
Isabella looked at him and said with a good temper, “Is that so? Since you're not hungry, let's sit down and have a cup of coffee.” B “Hmph, so be it. Do you think we don’t dare? But where do you want us to sit? There aren't many chairs in this hall, right?” The third old man also appeared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsabella looked at these old men who were stirring up trouble one by one. The corners of her eyes could not help but twitch. At this point, she could clearly tell that these old men were deliberately making things difficult for her.
Isabella said, “Elders, there are still enough chairs in the hall.” As expected, the fourth old man cout and said, “Don’t tellyou want us to sit on the lower side. This is too much. Do you know who we are?” He placed his hands on his hips and glared at her.
Isabella nodded and said, “I know. You're the elders of the council. You have high statuses.” “Why did you let us sit on the lower side since you know it?” The fourth old man said angrily again.
Immediately after, the fifth old man jumped out and said, “Young woman, don’t think that you can look down on us old men just because you have sability. Lettell you. We're much wiser and more experienced than you!” Isabella raised her eyebrows. “Elder, you're right. Since you don’t want to sit on the lower side, why don’t you just stand?” With that, Isabella turned around and sat down in a random seat, leaving the old men there.
The old men were instantly dumbfounded.
“This is too much. How can you be so unreasonable? You don’t respect us at all!” The sixth and seventh old men also jumped out.
Isabella tilted her head and looked at the remaining two old men with a smile.
Leo and Peter widened their eyes when Isabella looked at them. What did she mean? What on earth did she mean? “You're really not cute!” Peter jumped out and criticized. His tone was very resentful.
How did such an unlovely person give birth to a cute baby like Betty Baby? Did she steal Betty Baby? The more they thought about it, the angrier they became.
Isabella called someone to serve coffee and said slowly, “If you don’t want to sit and insist on drinking coffee while standing, | have no objections.” James had a strange expression on his face.
Why did he feel that the legendary dignified elders of the council were different from the rumors? These were clearly nine brats who had cto cause trouble. How could they be the respectable and powerful big shots of the tribunal committee? The few old men looked at each other Jaye sat down and said angrily, “Hmph, I'd better sit.” As soon as he sat down, the other old men followed suit.
Isabella laughed teasingly.
Seeing her smile, the old men flew into a rage out of humiliation. Richard slammed the table and roared, “Mrs.
Lockwood, you're an outsider, but we don’t care. Let us ask you. What's wrong with those rumors outside?” He put on a stern face and looked fierce.
Isabella glanced at him and said, “Richard, don’t be angry. Getting angry is harmful to your body. As for the rumors, they are naturally fake.
“Look, I'm an honest and dutiful person.” She looked at the old men sincerely, her temper extremely good.
The few old men also narrowed their eyes and sized her up before whispering to each other.
“She does seem like a good girl.” “But she’s not cute.” “She has a glib tongue. Don’t be fooled by her.” “She doesn’t look like an honest person to me.” Finally, Jaye said angrily. “Stop lying to us. We won't be fooled. Tell us. Why did you cto the Mystical Island?” Isabella was about to speak when she saw Jocelyn leading Betty in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTwo Red Crystal Warriors carefully protected Betty.
When Betty saw Isabella’s figure from afar, her eyes turned so bright. “Mom!” She shouted and ran toward Isabella with her short legs.
Isabella had not seen her daughter for a long time. She also ran over happily and held Betty in her arms. They hugged each other affectionately for a while.
Isabella was about to carry Betty back to her seat when Betty struggled out of her arms. Then, Betty turned around and placed her hands on her hips. She said rather imposingly, “Did you guys bully my mother just now?” She pouted and widened her watery eyes, looking extremely fierce but cute.
The old men were dumbfounded when Betty cin.
At this moment, after being asked by Betty, they immediately shook their heads repeatedly Moreover, they even adjusted their sitting posture to that of an obedient primary school student.
The old men sat in a row and shook their heads repeatedly. “No, no. Betty Baby, we definitely didn’t bully her.” “Yes, we didn’t bully her. We're just guests.” “Yes, we're here as guests.” “Look, we're even drinking coffee.” Jaye was flustered. After saying that, he picked up his coffee cup and drank all the coffee in it.
Betty looked at them suspiciously with a doubtful expression.
Isabella was stunned.
She just... didn’t know what to say.
