Chapter 157 The Assembly


    Isabe and Draxton left the dungeon and returned to the living room. The moment they arrived at the living room, they saw Zolo sitting upright on the sofa eating an orange. When he saw them return, he immediately greeted them with a smile. "You''re back? I just saw someonee in and leave in one piece. How kind of you"


    Draxton and Isabe rolled their eyes at him. "When do you n to leave?"


    This guy had alreadypleted the acupuncture procedure, his body was recuperated too, yet he still refused to leave and stuck around.


    Zolo smiled. "Soon. I''ll leave soon."


    Draxton and Isabe nodded. "That''s good."


    Zolo looked at them like he wasining. "Mr. Lockwood, Miraculous Doctor, you''re all famous people, is me staying here really so much trouble? Why are you so eager to chase me away?" Draxton and Isabe could not be bothered with him.


    Looking at their cruel back views, Zolo could not help butin, "They are too cold, not hospitable at all." The next morning, the news that the Riker family people had been arrested for investigation waspletely publicized. All of the Riker family''s businesses had been investigated. The only people left were the Riker family''s second wife and the three members of Gerald Riker''s family. They were the only innocent people left in the Riker family.


    Gerald arranged for his two children to leave the country.


    Neither Ethan nor Esther felt it was safe to let Gerald stay. However, Gerald had to take care of Patriarch, who was hospitalized.


    Ss walked in and reported, "patriarch, Mrs. Lockwood. Our people just sent word that we''ve searched the moat thoroughly and found no body of Jason Lang. I''ve confirmed that Jason Lang is missing." Isabe stopped drinking tea. "Missing?"


    "Yes, missing. If he''s dead, there would be traces, but it''s too clean,"


    Ss said.


    Isabe said softly. "This is really interesting. A person who was knocked into the river by a car actually escaped and disappeared. If he''s alive, why didn''t he go home?"


    Ss continued, "Also, Samantha Lang has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. She''s already in prison."


    Isabe''s expression was calm. Everything was within her expectations.


    Ss hesitated for a moment. "Mr. and Mrs. Lang, they''re not in a good mood..."


    Isabe said, "I got it. Tell them that Jason is still alive so they''ll still have hope, that''s all I can do."


    "Yes," Ss replied and turned to leave.


    Draxton looked at Isabe and said, "Be, do you want to go to the hospital again?"


    Isabe shook his head. "There''s no need."


    Zolo stood at the staircase and tilted his head to listen to them.


    He walked over and sat down opposite them. “I heard that Lawrence and Fernando areing overter too." Draxton nodded briefly.


    Zolo leaned against the back of the sofa and looked at Draxton and Isabe with interest in his blue eyes. "In the past, Mr. Lockwood always attended the assembly alone, while Miraculous Doctor has never appeared. This year is going to be different, I see."


    Draxton smiled "Well, you single people can only envy us!"


    Zolo''s teasing expression froze for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he could not help but feel speechless


    At this moment, Cooper walked in and said respectfully, "patriarch, Mr. Fernando and Mr. Lawrence have


    Lupted The Assembly


    arrived."


    As Cooper spoke, two people had already appeared in the living room.


    Before Draxton and Isabe could greet them, Lawrence rushed up excitedly. "Miraculous Doctor, Miraculous Doctor, I''m here I''m here to devote my life to you!"


    He excitedly pounced in the direction of Isabe.


    Draxton''s figure shed and reached out to grab Lawrence''s cor. He looked at him with a dark expression.


    Lawrence red at Draxton angrily and mocked, "Mr. Lockwood, as far as I know, you were able to marry Miraculous Doctor only because of your son. Otherwise, Miraculous Doctor wouldn''t have wanted you at all.


    Be it romance, charm, or loyalty, you''re all beneath me."


    He puffed out his chest proudly, envious and jealous of Draxton.


    The veins on Draxton''s forehead twitched. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lawrence, if you continue to spout nonsense, don''t me me for throwing you out."


    Lawrence was not afraid of him. He tilted her head and looked at Isabe.


    The corners of Isabe''s mouth twitched. She said coldly, "If you don''t want to be thrown out, you''d better behave yourself. You''re not allowed to provoke my man." Lawrence immediately looked like a puppy that had been wronged.


    Fernando stood quietly at the side and watched this scene with a smile. No one knew better than him how much of a brag Draxton was, so he did not speak at all. However, whenever his gaze asionally swept past Isabe, a deep light would sh.


    After Draxton put Lawrence down, the few of them sat down. Zolo looked at Lawrence in admiration and said, "Earl Lawrence Docker, your courage is really!"


    Zolo gave him a thumbs-up and whispered, "I don''t even dare to provoke them."


    Lawrence''s violet eyes nced at Zolo and snorted. "That''s because I treat Miraculous Doctor differently. Miraculous Doctor treats me differently too."


    Zolo''s eyes widened gossipily.


    Lawrence was about to spout nonsense when Isabe tilted her head and looked over with a faint smile. Lawrence immediately shut up.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Fernando smiled and greeted Draxton before saying, "The assembly is approaching. I''m here because I hope that the Miraculous Doctor can follow me to the Barys family in advance to treat my sister, Winna."


    He looked earnestly at Isabe


    Isabe nodded readily. "Sure, no problem."


    Fernando''s gray eyes lit up. He stood up gratefully and bowed deeply. "Thank you so much, Miraculous Doctor."


    Lawrence and Zolo looked at Fernando, Lawrence was in surprise and excitement. "Fernando, you actually want to trick Miraculous Doctor into going to your house?"


    Fernando looked at his excited expression and exined with a smile, "It''s to treat my sister."


    He was always this calm and elegant, it was as if nothing could affect his emotions.


    Lawrence was a little anxious. He looked at Draxton and said, "Are you sure you''re not worried about letting the Miraculous Doctor go with him?”


    Zolo secretly gasped as well. Everyone knew that the Barys family and the Lockwood family were mortal enemies. Previously, they were still fighting to the death, yet they were now so friendly. Why? Draxton nced at Lawrence and said, "She''s the Miraculous Doctor. I won''t interfere with anything she wants to do."


    A glint shed across Lawrence''s eyes. He understood what Draxton meant.


    He could not help but be impressed. He did not expect Draxton to actually be willing topletely support Isabe, given his identity. Despite the fact that the person Miraculous Doctor was going to save was his enemy''s sister, he stillpletely supported her.


    The Assembly


    The Lockwood family and the Barys family had been fighting for so many years. However, even when the battle was at its fiercest, they still adhered to an absolute rule-they would not harm each other''s families.


    Zolo chuckled. "I''m really curious. If those people in The Allied Nations knew about this, what would their expressions be like?"


    He looked like he was enjoying the show.


    "Let''s talk about the assembly," Draxton said.
