Chapter 436 The President looked at everyone and explained, "You guys didn't know this, right? Wesley is Bella's teacher. | said before that Bella is my niece because of their relationship." Everyone had different expressions as they looked at Isabella in bewilderment.
Isabella lowered her head and poured herself a glass of water.
' Don't try to make you two seem closer than you really are. Bella is my student. What does it have to do with you?' Wesley retorted unhappily.
The President looked at him and said, "Wesley, let's not involve others in our disagreement. You're my younger brother. Wouldn't that make your disciple my junior? "Draxton, don't you think that makes sense?’ Draxton said, Let's not talk about this for now. Since the matter has been decided, please prepare for the handover of the property.
"The four departments of Big Dipper are already your businesses. I'll go back and make arrangements at the Vernon Branch. You can send people to the Vernon Branch for the necessary procedures." The President's expression froze. He looked at Draxton and said, "Draxton, have you thought it through?" Draxton said calmly, ‘Sir, why do you say that? Isn't that what you want?" The President said nothing.
Draxton stood up and said, Bella is pregnant. I'll take her back to rest first. Goodbye, Sir." Mr. Lyons, Bella and | will leave first," Draxton said respectfully to Wesley.
Wesley nodded and reminded, Be careful on the road.’ Draxton nodded and left with Isabella.
The room fell into a temporary silence as soon as they left.
Mr. Lyons swept his disdainful gaze past Darius and the others. He snorted coldly and lowered his head to drink his coffee.
Darius looked at Wesley hesitantly and said to the President, "Sir... what does Mr. Lockwood mean?’ The President did not say anything. His expression was dark.

Denver's expression changed slightly. He was a little unwilling. He wanted to say something, but Michael pulled him back, so he could only shut his mouth.
"Sir, we'll take our leave first." Everyone stood up and left with different thoughts in their minds.
After leaving the Presidential Palace, the people from the Wheeler and the Flouder family, as well as Darius's group of four stopped in their tracks. They looked at each other with grave expressions.
"Gentlemen, you should understand Mr. Lockwood, right? What did Mr. Lockwood mean today?" Michael asked.
Denver said, "What's the point? It's obvious that he's trying to curry favor with the President and compete with us!" Michael looked at him helplessly. Yax could not stand it anymore and said, "Dad, that's impossible. Don't talk nonsense." Denver immediately glared at his son. At this moment, Darius said, "Based on our understanding of Draxton, he must have a purpose for doing this. As for what he's thinking, we can't figure it out.
But there's one thing. He never does anything that does not benefit him." Michael fell silent.
There was a flash in Denver's eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he could not refute Darius.
'This time, the Lockwood family lost four of their divisions to us, and the Wheeler and Flouder families also divided up the Lockwood family's other industries. We are already the Lockwood family's enemy. Draxton is ruthless. The two of you have to be careful." "We have the President backing us up. What can Draxton do to us?" Denver glared at him and said indignantly.
Dominic said, 'Mr. Wheeler, Draxton is not to be trifled with. That's all we have to say. You guys take care of yourselves.
"By the way, the Vernon Branch is in Maestria, right?" "Wherever the Vernon Branch is, it has nothing to do with our two families," Michael said.
Dominic glanced at Michael and did not say anything. He turned around and got into the car to leave.
Denver asked, Michael, what do they mean? They used to be Draxton's subordinates. Had they been scared out of their wits by Draxton?" Michael said, "Denver, they're right. Draxton is not easy to deal with. We've really offended him this time." "Am | supposed to be scared?" Denver flew into a rage out of humiliation.
"Denver, what do you have to use against Draxton? If Draxton really wants to deal with you, do you think the President will protect you? "Our two families are only tools that the President is using to deal with the Lockwood family. The President can find himself two new tools when we are destroyed. Do you understand?" Denver's face paled.
Yax added, "Moreover, Mr. Lyons is Isabella's teacher." Denver's face turned even paler.
"Denver, let's go back to Maestria. We should not stay in Dawton City for too long." Michael thought for a moment and said, "Our next course of action will be to follow the President's orders. We mustn't do anything unnecessary. We will try our best to ease our relationship with the Lockwood family.
"Remember, we're businessmen. Peace is our priority." Denver glanced at Michael with an unwilling expression.
Only the President and Mr. Lyons were left in the reception pavilion.
The President's expression was no longer as calm as before. There was no joy on his face as he said in a deep voice, "Wesley, what do you think Draxton meant?" Wesley looked at him with disdain and said, "He has personally delivered the Lockwood family's business to you, and you're still not satisfied? You didn't snatch it yourself, so you don't feel a sense of accomplishment, right?" The President's expression turned rigid. Not only did he not feel a sense of accomplishment, but he also felt extremely stifled.
"He might seem to have lost half his lifeblood after ridding himself of those businesses, but he's actually being rejuvenated.’ The President muttered to himself.
Wesley sneered. "Don't pretend to be the victim after getting such a benefit. What Draxton thinks of as deadweight is a treasure to you. At the end of the day, you've benefited quite a bit." ' But the benefits cso frustratingly!" The President suddenly got angry. He slammed the table and stood up.
He roared and stared coldly at Wesley.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWesley also looked at him coldly.
The President's gaze was sharp as he said excitedly, "Draxton seems to have cut off more than half of the Lockwood Group, but what's the use? "Look, the branches that he had split up were all disloyal to the Lockwood family.
"These branches had been restless for a long time, hoping that Draxton would die so that they could rebel.
' Draxton had probably always wanted to deal with those branches. Now, he is throwing all of them over to me.
He did so very cleanly.
"The remaining members of the Lockwood family are all loyal elites. Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Expendable Camp, Department of War, Executive Department, and the North Star Group's first, second, and third divisions are all elites and loyalists! ‘The current Lockwood family might not seem as huge as before, but compared to how there were always dark undercurrents previously, it is now a true fortress. Moreover, it's clean without a single stain!" The President took two steps and turned to look at Wesley. "As for Greensworth, Whitley, Vallan, and Blacksmoore, as well as the Vernon Branch that Draxton took the initiative to hand over, these are either gray or dark factions that had committed all kinds of atrocities.
"Draxton wants the Lockwood family to be clean. He’s got a good plan!" Wesley said mockingly, "Apart from the Vernon Branch, which Draxton had handed over voluntarily, didn't you poach the other industries and forced them over from the Lockwood family? Who are you putting on such a show for now? ' Besides, even if they are gray or dark factions, do you not want them? Or do you not need them?" The President was speechless.
But he was furious.
"It's fine if Draxton wants the Lockwood family to be clean, but the key is... he's working with Mystical Island.
Mystical Island is rich in resources. Even | don't know what terrifying trump card Draxton has in his hands!" This was what he was truly afraid of.
"However, my men in Mystical Island were all cut off by him. Now, | know nothing about the situation on Mystical Island!" The President sat back in his seat angrily.
Wesley said, "You're the dignified President. Are you really so petty? "You stole someone else's business and almost caused the couple to die at Mystical Island. Now you're not allowing them to develop their trump cards? "Draxton handing the Lockwood family's dark forces over to you means that he will not threaten you." ' But he... he pulled out the Lockwood family's fangs and exchanged them for a divine artifact!" the President said.
"Pfft! Feel free to go against them if you don't want to be the President anymore!" Wesley admired the President's exasperated look for a long time. He leaned back in his chair and drank his coffee in a good mood.
The President stared at him and calmed down. He said angrily, "Are you going to be the President if I'm not?" Wesley squinted and sneered. "Dream on!"
