The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 328 The Banquet

Draxton and Isabella looked around calmly, taking in the expressions of everyone in the banquet hall.

Some did not take to the news too kindly. Some looked hostile, while others were cold and even malicious.

Julian was beaming from ear to ear. He was obviously in a good mood. He said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the identities of these two new members are very special. They do not belong to Mystical Island, but they have very distinguished backgrounds.

"They are the patriarch of the Lockwood family, Mr. Draxton Lockwood, and the famous Miraculous Doctor, Miss Isabella Thompson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a series of gasps from the crowd.

Even though Mystical Island had no contact with the outside world and did not welcome outsiders, it was still a place on Earth. Therefore, they knew about Draxton and Isabella's reputations.

Needless to say, the Lockwood family was a large family with an ancient heritage.

They also knew about Isabella's meteoric rise in reputation over the past few years.

Some of the renowned doctors from Mystical Island had claimed that Isabella could bring the sick people whom these doctors could not cure back to life.

For a moment, everyone in the banquet hall looked at the two of them with curiosity and admiration.

They all knew that the status of these two people was no lower than Julian, the vice president of the tribunal committee.

At the end of the hall sat a distinguished-looking lady. Although her clothes were clean and neat, her looks were a little dated. Her face was ashen.

The old lady was accompanied by a middle-aged man and a woman, as well as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man and woman quickly held the old lady's hand and said softly, "Mom."

They shook their heads at the old lady.

The old lady's expression calmed down a little, but she still could not hide the paleness on her face. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

*Julian managed to get such powerful people from the outside world. Landon and the others are already in a difficult position. I'm afraid now...'

The middle-aged man quickly advised, "Mom, we have to believe in Landon. As long as Julian doesn't get the Nine-flame Plaque, the council will not agree to him being the president. Don't worry too much about it, Mom."

The middle-aged woman also said, "Yes, George is right. Mom, don't worry too much. Besides, Mr. Lockwood and Mrs. Lockwood may not be loyal to Julian. Perhaps they have ulterior motives for helping him. At the side, the young girl who was with them clenched her fists and stared coldly at Julian, who was looking very smug on the stage. Her eyes burned with intense anger and hatred.

It was this despicable and shameless person who killed her grandfather. He loved her the most.

The old president of the tribunal committee was the previous patriarch of the Wright family, her maternal grandfather.

The Wright family was in a gloomy mood. However, the Doyle family was in high spirits.

Robert and Claudia were smiling widely. Both elder sons of the Doyle family were also full of smiles.

Wayne said to them, "Dad, Mom, with these two powerful people. Julian will definitely be able to make Landon hand over the Nine-flarne Plaque. The position of the president of the tribunal committee will certainly be his."

"That's right!" Edward Doyle quipped.

Pleased, Robert and Claudia nodded in agreement. Claudia, especially, could not stop smiling.

She turned to look at Old Madam Wright with a smug look in her eyes. "Even the heavens are helping our Julian Old Madam Wright, don't you think so?"

Claudia's eyes were fixed on Old Madam Wright. She wanted to gloat at her embarrassment and despair.

In the past, the Wright family was so glorious. Every time Claudia saw Davina, she could only eat the humble pie

Now, the tables had turned. It was finally her turn to lord over Davina.

Old Madam Wright glared at Claudia coldly. Her eyes flickered with a piercing cold light like a knife.

She gave Claudia a cold stare and sneered. "It's only a case of a villain getting his way. Your family will get your just desserts."

Claudia's expression immediately turned cold. She was about to say something when Julian led Draxton and Isabella to the center of the hall. He was still beaming.

The Doyle family immediately greeted the guests with a warm smile.

A young man from among the crowd looked at Draxton and Isabella in shock.

His mind went blank, and he was completely dumbfounded.

A voice was heard beside the young man. "James, are you surprised to see your boss? Why? Didn't I tell you that your boss is here on Mystical Island?

"It looks like he doesn't think much about you."

The person who spoke was a young man who looked frivolous. At this moment, he was looking at James. with a sneer on his face.

James recovered from his shock and looked straight-faced. He pushed the silver-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose up as if nothing had happened. He glanced coldly at the young man beside him and did not speak.

The young man beside him refused to give up. "My dear brother, I thought you had a very impressive track record in the outside world. Still, your boss thinks so lowly of you. If I were you, I would be too ashamed to return to the family."

James suddenly stood up and looked at the young man with an impassioned expression. His eyes were filled with disgust and contempt as if he was looking at an antThis content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

His glare instantly made the young man furious. He slammed the table and stood up. He said angrily, "James, you son of a bitch. Who do you think you are? What are you up to? You're no better than a dog!" Bang!

James threw a punch at the man.

The young man covered his face as he yelled out in pain. He stared at James with bloodshot eyes.

James said expressionlessly, "Shut up if you don't want to die!"

With that, James walked in the direction of Draxton and Isabella.

James was born into the Beck family on Mystical Island. For some reason, he left the island and met Draxton, and became his assistant.

Previously, he had always been by Draxton's side, working for him. Half a year ago, he returned to Mystical Island.

James then walked up to Draxton and Isabella.

Draxton and Isabella were surrounded by the Doyle family members who were ingratiating themselves with the couple. Only the family was chattering and laughing away.

All this while, Draxton and Isabella did not have any expression on their faces. They looked calm.

Seeing James coming over, Draxton turned to Isabella. "Bella, look, that's James Beck."

Isabella had never seen James before. When Isabella first arrived at Dawton City, James had already been sent back to Mystical Island by Draxton.

Therefore, Isabella only heard of James but had never met him.

Isabella tilted her head and looked in James' direction. She smiled faintly.

James also smiled and walked forward respectfully. "Mr. Lockwood, Mrs. Lockwood."

He held out his hand to Isabella.

Isabella reached out and took his hand. "I've heard a lot about you. I finally got to meet you today. Hello, Mr. Beck."

"Hello, Mrs. Lockwood."

The two of them shook hands and chatted happily. When the Doyle family members saw that, their smiles faded slightly. Wayne laughed out loud. "I heard that Mr. Beck was Mr. Lockwood's right-hand man. Mr Lockwood and Mrs. Lockwood must think very highly of Mr. Beck."
