Chapter 340 The Disliked Mr. Lockwood


    Draxton raised his hand and said, "Sit down first."


    An unnatural expression shed across James''s face. He also realized that he had been too impatient. Six months ago, when he was sent back to the Mystical Ind, he had been waiting for this day. However, he did not expect the patriarch to arrive so quickly!


    As if knowing what he was thinking, Draxton said, "I didn''t n toe so soon. ording to our n, I should onlye to the Mystical Ind six monthster. It was just a coincidence that Betty was brought to the Mystical Ind, so our n could only be brought forward."


    James nodded. "Mr. Lockwood, the underground chamber ofmerce is operating very well now. Theo has established a stable interest rtionship with a portion of the forces on the Mystical Ind."


    "I know," said Draxton. Then, he looked at James and said, "I''ve waited for so many years. We can almost avenge your mother. Don''t be anxious. Be more patient."


    James adjusted his silver-framed sses. His fingers trembled slightly as he said, "I will."


    After saying that, his excited expression gradually calmed down.


    Isabe listened to them quietly. Draxton exined to her, "When I met James back then, we were still young. I was covered in injuries. I saved him and knew that he had a huge grudge to take. All these years we had been enduring it.


    "At that time, I nned to let the Lockwood family''s forces infiltrate into the Mystical Ind, so I sent Theo to the Mystical Ind. Theo did not disappoint me." Isabe was a little surprised. "Is the underground chamber ofmerce on the Mystical Ind an existence that is not inferior to anyrge faction... yours?"


    Isabe looked at Draxton.


    Receiving Isabe''s shock, Draxton puffed out his chest slightly with a proud expression.


    James was slightly stunned as he looked at Draxton in astonishment.


    "How did... Mr. Lockwood be like this?


    "He''s a little childish," thought James.


    James looked at Isabe. He felt that the patriarch''s wife was really not simple.


    He had long heard that Martin and n had been punished by the patriarch for offending Isabe. The punishment was not light.


    Isabe and Draxton looked at each other.


    At this moment, Draxton''s hair and nails were all telling the same message to Isabe. "Praise me, praise me."


    Isabe''s eyes were filled with admiration as she said, "Draxton, you''re so amazing."


    Draxton immediately felt light-headed. Not only was his face flushed, but even his ears werepletely red. Before James came, he never expected that he would have to bw showed off by this couple just to discuss something with the patriarch.


    Moreover, at this moment, the patriarch seemed to have an invisible peacock tail behind him that was extremely ostentatious.


    James tactfully remained silent. After all, he was not sure if the patriarch would bear a grudge against him if he interrupted the patriarch now.


    "What''s going on with the Beck family?" Fortunately, Isabe was the first to break the strange atmosphere. James hurriedly said respectfully, "Mrs. Lockwood, you also know that the Beck family is one of the four big families on the Mystical Ind. The Beck family''s power on the Mystical Ind is intertwined. Moreover, the Beck family and some of the underground forces in District 9 are involved in interests. If we really want to rule District 9, the Beck family is not a small obstacle.


    "Of course, other than the Beck family, there are other families who are also watching."


    Isabe nodded. "I know. I''m afraid no one would want us to really rule District 9.*


    "Actually, if the Lockwood family were to form an alliance with the Beck family, the Beck family might help support Mr. Lockwood. Therefore, before we really be enemies, the Beck family might use some special methods..."


    James spoke carefully.


    Isabe was stunned for a moment. Then, she squinted hers eyes and said, "Special methods?"


    "The Beck family has a daughter called Annie Beck," said James.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Isabe''s aura instantly turned cold.


    James hurriedly said, "Mrs. Lockwood. Actually, it''s not just the Beck family. I''m afraid the other families and forces have simr thoughts. After all, if could form an alliance with the Lockwood family, there will be endless benefits."


    Isabe was so angry that sheughed. Then, she looked at Draxton unkindly.


    When a woman was jealous, she would be very unreasonable.


    For example, at this moment, Draxton felt very wronged. Hence, he red at James very unkindly. His gaze was as fierce as it could be.


    James lowered his head and raised his left hand to rub his nose innocently. Draxton stared at him. He knew James too well. He was used to doing this when he felt guilty.


    "James, you''re not young anymore. It''s not easy to be single, right?"


    Draxton sneered.


    James raised his head in shock and said in disbelief, "Mr. Lockwood, how can you use words to attack me personally?"


    "Humph." Draxton sneered.


    James could not help but gasp.


    Draxton said unkindly, "Get lost!"


    He was going to coax his wife.


    "But Mr. Lockwood, we still have things to discuss..."


    "Wren, see the guest out!" Draxton shouted.


    "No, Mr. Lockwood, you can''t..."


    Wren had already walked in and dragged James out half politely and half forcefully.


    Wren nced at Draxton and Isabe, who did not look too good. He turned around with an unclear expression.


    He dragged James out of district master''s manor. He looked polite, but he was actually cold. "Mr. Beck, please leave.*


    James was chased out of district master''s manor.


    This piece of news came out of nowhere.


    Meanwhile, at the Beck family.


    The patriarch of the Beck family, Paul, was almost 80 this year, but he was still hale and hearty.


    He sat at the head of the table with his wife. The two sides below him were the direct descendants of the Beck family.


    Among them, the most conspicuous were his eldest son, Andy Beck, and his current wife, Fionna.


    Next were Andy and Fionna''s children, Brandon and Annie Beck.


    Next was the Beck family''s second branch.


    The Beck family''s second branch and main branch had some open and covert strife, but because Paul was dignified, the Beck family had always been rtively harmonious. At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall could be considered warm.


    Andy coldly said to Paul, "Father, James was chased out by Draxton. He''s simply a disgrace to the Beck family."


    Paul''s expression did not look too good either. Originally, because James was the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Beck family, he was quite concerned about him.


    However, what happened today really disappointed him,


    Such a useless person was only a burden to the Beck family.


    Paul said indifferently, "Then... Abandon him!".


    After hearing those words, Paul''s wife, Andy, Fionna, and Brandon and Annie were all overjoyed.


    As for the Beck family''s second branch, his expression was as indifferent as ever.


    After the joy, Fionna said, "Father, Mother, we were originally worried that James was Draxton''s subordinate after all. They would be involved. Now, it seems that their rtionship is only average.


    "In that case, it won''t be impossible for the Beck family to rope in Draxton."


    As she spoke, she looked at her daughter, Annie.


    Annie immediately understood something when she saw her mother looking at her. She stomped her feet angrily. "Mom, why are you looking at me? That Draxton is just an outsider. Even if he''s the Lockwood family''s patriarch, he''s not worthy of me. Moreover, he already has a wife and children. Such a man is not clean. I don''t want him!"
