Chapter 428 Replace The Lockwood Family? Betty also heard the voice from the other side, but she cleverly covered her mouth, afraid that she would accidentally make a sound.
She tilted her head and looked at the big snake. The big snake spat out its tongue at the communicator. Not far away, Terry and Jacqueline’s expressions changed when they saw this scene.
Jaye looked at the two of them coldly. “I didn’t expect the reason why you two are so quiet is that you have other backgrounds. The tribunal committee has been treating you badly all these years.” Terry did not say anything. Jacqueline’s temper was hot. She said angrily, “Since we have been arrested by you, use whatever means you have. Let's see if we will say anything.” Jaye said, “There's no need for you to say anything. Mr. Lockwood has investigated you thoroughly. We know what you know, and we also know you don’t know.” Terry and Jacqueline’s expressions changed.
“That president is really impressive. He secretly arranged for you to be on Mystical Island. 20 years ago, you were only children, right?” Jaye exclaimed.
Terry said, “Jaye, do you think Draxton is a trustworthy person? “Have you ever thought that Draxton has also planted someone on Mystical Island? With Draxton’s methods, he definitely has planted someone on Mystical Island.” Jaye looked at him indifferently and said, “The instigation failed. The tribunal committee and the Lockwood family have just established a partnership. Originally, Mr. Lockwood wanted the President to work directly with us. However, your president has ruined this opportunity himself.” Terry's expression did not look too good. He glanced at Betty and the big snake, trying to say something to send the news back.

The other side can’t hear you!” Jaye’s cold face was immediately filled with a kind smile. He picked up Betty and said, “Do you see that? Our Betty is so smart!” Terry and Jacqueline were so angry that their faces twitched.
Two days later, Little Dipper and the Lockwood family’s scientific research team arrived at Mystical Island.
Draxton and Isabella personally welcomed them.
The leaders were Aaron and Grey.
Landon hosted a welcoming banquet to celebrate the cooperation between the two sides.
After the banquet, Aaron and Grey spoke to Draxton and Isabella alone.
Landon and the others were also very cooperative and did not disturb him.
“Mr. Lockwood, half of the Lockwood family’s property was taken over by the President. In addition, the Lockwood family has many traitors,” Grey said.
“Isn't that good?” Grey was stunned.
Draxton continued, “Over the years, the Lockwood family’s force has been too great. Since the Lockwood family has no intention of replacing the President, we have to hand over a part of our force.
“Over the years, the Lockwood family’s force has been too great. We've already directly threatened the President. This is not a good thing.” “But Mr. Lockwood, the President went too far. Did you know that he handed over all the businesses of the Lockwood family to the Wheeler family to manage? Now, every Dawtoner is saying that the Wheeler family will replace the Lockwood family.” Grey said angrily.
Draxton did not react, but Isabella could not help but chuckle.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrey looked at Isabella innocently and said respectfully, “Mrs. Lockwood, what do you think?” Isabella asked, “Grey, do you think the Lockwood family can be easily replaced by any family?” Grey looked at Draxton, whose expression did not change. Then, he looked at Isabella, who was smiling. He shook his head. “Of course not. I'm just angry.” Draxton asked, “Which Wheeler family?” Grey was stunned and said, “Mr. Lockwood, speaking of which, the Wheeler family has quite a deep relationship with you.” Draxton raised his eyebrows slightly.
Grey explained, “Mr. Lockwood, your grandfather's younger sister, that is, your Great Aunt, owns the Wheeler family.” Draxton’s face darkened when he heard that.
He said, “It’s actually them! Grandpa and grandma stopped interacting with them a long tago.” Isabella was a little curious. “Speaking of which, I've never seen your grandparents.” Draxton said, “The Barker family isn’t in Dawton City. They're in Maestria. Due to sreasons, my mother and | rarely go to Maestria to visit my grandparents.” Isabella’s expression was a little strange. “Could it be...” Draxton said, “Don’t getwrong. It's not because we don’t have a good relationship with grandpa and grandma.
“Grandpa had a younger sister, the one Grey had just mentioned. Back then, my mother married into the Lockwood family. My Great Aunt hoped to use my mother’s relationship to have something to do with the Lockwood family.
“During that period of time, the Wheeler family had indeed obtained a lot of benefits through this relationship.
“However, there’s no end to human greed. | don’t know what my Great Aunt was thinking, but she actually cast a greedy eye on my father and asked his daughter... Ahem!” Isabella's face also darkened.
Draxton continued, “However, you know what my father’s temper is like. He does everything to please my mother, so he would not be tempted by another woman. Therefore, my father made a fool of that woman. “After that, that woman was so angry that she got someone to kidnap me.” Isabella sighed. “Oh, disgusting people are everywhere!” “Later on, although | was saved, grandpa and grandma gave up on that family and cut ties with them. “However, how could that family be willing to give up on such a relationship? They kept pestering us. For our safety, grandpa kept telling us to go to Maestria less.
“All these years, I've been too busy and rarely went there. On the other hand, my father and mother would visit them sometimes.
“Fortunately, my grandparents are taken care of by my uncle and aunt, so my can could rest assured.
“Bella, when we go back this time, let's go and see grandpa and grandma together. They should indeed meet you.”
