Chapter 433 The next afternoon, Isabella and Draxton arrived on time.
By the tthey arrived, there were already several people in the President's living room.
Flowers bloomed along the way. There were all kinds of expensive flowers and fragrances greeted them.
They walked down the marble-paved path toward the parlor.
The door to the reception pavilion was wide open, with only a thin bamboo curtain hanging down.
Other than the fragrance of flowers, there was also the fragrance of coffee. The first thing that Isabella and Draxton smelled was not the fragrance of flowers, but the fragrance of coffee.
Through the bamboo curtain, they could not see who was inside, but they could see that there were many people.
Similarly, the people inside could not see the outside clearly.
Someone said, "Sir, | wonder which esteemed guest you have invited. The timing is perfect!" A slightly rough voice sounded.
The President looked at the person who asked the question and said with a smile, "These two will surprise everyone.l' After saying that, he looked at the person who asked the question meaningfully.
The person who asked the question was Darius, the person in charge of the Greensworth Branch of the Lockwood family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor sreason, when Darius saw the President's ambiguous gaze, his heart skipped a beat and he felt a little uneasy.
He could not help but turn to look at the bamboo curtain at the door. At this moment, the bamboo curtain was lifted and two figures walked in side by side.
Jason and Anna, who were standing by the bamboo curtain, looked happy when they saw the two people.
Isabella looked at the two of them and ignored Jason. She smiled at Anna.
Anna nodded at her with a cold expression.
' Draxton, Bella, you're here!" The President said with a smile. His tone was casual as if there was no unhappiness between them.
Draxton said, ‘Sorry to keep you waiting." "No, it's just in time. Cand sit." The President patted the seat beside him.
This action caused Denver's expression to becslightly unnatural.
He thought that the seats beside the President would be reserved for the Wheeler family and the Flouder family.
Unexpectedly, it was left for Draxton.
What did the President mean? Didn't he ask them to replace the Lockwood family? Why was he still pleasing the Lockwood family and allowing the Lockwood family to suppress them? However, no matter what Denver thought, he did not dare to show it on his face.
Draxton and Isabella did not stand on ceremony and sat down on either side of the President.
They did not look at anyone from the beginning to the end. They only greeted the President politely.
After sitting down, the President personally poured coffee for Draxton and said, "Hurry up and try my new coffee.
The coffee is very fragrant.
The fragrance of the coffee is even more intoxicating than the fragrance of flowers." As he spoke, he gave Isabella a glass of plain water.
Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly, but she thought that the President wanted to deal her a head-on blow at the first encounter.
Knowing that she was pregnant, he did not give her coffee but plain water.
Was he showing off his intelligence ability? Isabella smiled without saying anything.
Compared to the secret confrontation between them and the President, the four middle-aged men sitting in front of them all turned pale.
The four of them looked at Draxton in disbelief. Their eyes flickered with fear.
Draxton was actually not dead.
The President looked at the four of them and smiled. ' Draxton, these four are your subordinates, right? They seem to be shocked when they see you." Draxton looked at the four of them indifferently and said, "Now, they are no longer my subordinates." The President smiled and did not reply. Instead, he said, "Draxton, letintroduce you." As he spoke, the President pointed at the three men on the other side and said, 'This is Denver, the leader of the Wheeler Group. This is Michael, the patriarch of the Flouder family in Maestria. This young man is Denver's only son, Yax.
" Draxton. Speaking of which, they're also relatives of the Lockwood family. You're very close." Draxton said, 'Although that's the case, my grandpa has long severed ties with his younger sister. They have nothing to do with the Lockwood family." Denver stared at Draxton. There was anger in his eyes and a hint of hidden hostility.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing Draxton's words, Denver said unwillingly, "Sir, Mr. Lockwood is right. Our two families are indeed not related anymore.’ If it was in the past, the Wheeler family would definitely try to get close to the Lockwood family and take advantage of the Lockwood family.
All these years, they had indeed taken many advantages in the nof the Lockwood family.
But it was different now.
The Lockwood family was about to be replaced by them. The President was aiming at the Lockwood family.
Sooner or later, their Wheeler family would replace the Lockwood family, so there was naturally no need to flatter them anymore.
Draxton didn't like them, but the Wheeler family didn't take Draxton seriously, too! The President glanced at Denver and said, Denver, you can't say that. In terms of seniority, you're Draxton's uncle." Draxton's face darkened. "Sir, you didn't invitehere just to acknowledge my family, did you?" The President was stunned. He smiled and said, "Of course not." Draxton picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. The President no longer mentioned the relationship between the Wheeler family and the Lockwood family. Instead, he changed the topic to the four people from the Lockwood family.
' Draxton, | invited you here today mainly because of what happened during this period of time. Look, they are already loyal to me. Are you and Mrs. Lockwood angry with me?" Isabella sat upright and listened to the President calmly. She had no intention of speaking.
She felt a gaze on her, openly sizing her up.
Isabella looked over and saw that the young man who was named Yax was staring at her. When he saw her looking over, he actually raised his eyebrows arrogantly, full of provocation.
Isabella immediately looked annoyed and retracted her gaze indifferently. There was no need for her to argue with a hothead.
That guy was obviously looking for trouble with her, so she really couldn't be bothered. After all, she was a gentle person now.
Gentle people would not bully hotheads! Draxton saw the President take the initiative to mention what had happened during this period of time, so he said, "I'm not angry.
"In fact, even if you didn't take the initiative to attack, | planned to hand over a portion of the Lockwood family's assets.
' But since you've already taken action, that's good.” The smile on the President's face paused. He looked at Draxton inquisitively and said, "These four are the people in charge of the Greensworth Branch, Whitley Branch, Vallan Branch, and Blacksmoore Branch. These four people are sitting here today. I'm sure you understand the reason, Draxton.
"They belong to the North Star Group. If they leave the Lockwood family, you will lose four of the seven branches of the North Star Group. Draxton, are you really willing?" Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent. Except for Isabella, everyone looked in Draxton's direction.
Draxton smiled faintly. "Why should | be unwilling?" mmMwWLIII0fiflo&1 mmMwWLIII0fiflo&1 mmMwWLHI0RAO&1 mmMwWLIII0fiflo&1 mmMwWL1i10f1ifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fiflo&1 mmMwWLIII0fiflo&1 mmMwWLIII0fiflo&1 mmMwWLHI0RAO&1 mmMwWLIII0fiflo&1 mmMwWL1i10f1ifl0&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
