Chapter 429 Changes In Dawton City
Both Draxton and Isabella decided to return to Dawton City. Little Dipper and the scientific research team brought by Grey and Aaron stayed on Mystical Island.
Draxton said to Grey, “It’s good that you’re here. Joshua will be very happy to see you.”
Before leaving, Draxton said to Grey.
Grey was stunned. “Mr. Lockwood, are you talking about Theo?”
“Yes, Theo. However, his name is Joshua now.”
Grey said, “Mr. Lockwood. In his heart, he prefers to be called Theo.”
Draxton said, “Back then, I secretly sent him to Mystical Island. In order to cover his identity, I got a substitute for Theo in the Lockwood family’s direct descendant.
“Whether he’s Joshua or Theo, it doesn’t affect the fact that he’s one of the Lockwood family.”
Isabella said, “I was wondering why there were two Theos in the Lockwood family. So that’s what happened.” Draxton said, “Joshua is an orphan adopted by the Lockwood family. Theo is the son of the family. Theo replaced Joshua’s position. Over the years, everyone has gotten used to it. Joshua, however…”
“Pretty good. Joshua is very outstanding,” Isabella said.
Draxton said, “Bella, it’s rare to see you praise someone.”
Isabella smiled.
Grey also said, “I’m a little envious of Joshua because he is praised by Mrs. Lockwood. I’ll have a good chat with him later.”
Landon and Jocelyn walked over with their men.
Jocelyn was a little worried and said, “Bella, although Terry and Jacqueline have been captured, I don’t know if the President will cause any trouble. You have to be careful on the way back. Although your fetus is stable, you have lost all your strength. You’re not as powerful as before.”
Isabella said, “Master Grey, don’t worry. Draxton has arranged everything.”
Jocelyn sighed and looked at Betty reluctantly. “You still have Betty with you. Why don’t you leave Betty behind?”
Betty blinked and said obediently, “Grandma Grey, I’m going back to visit great-grandpa and great-grandma. I’ll come back to visit you guys next time.”
Jocelyn’s heart skipped a beat. She said indignantly, “Betty, you heartless little thing. In the past, you were the closest to me. Now, you actually want to abandon me and get together with someone else. I’m really sad.”
As she spoke, she actually revealed a jealous expression.
Isabella didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she knew very well how close Master Grey was to the children.
Betty went forward and hugged Jocelyn. She said smartly, “Grandma Grey, do you miss my brother or not?”
Jocelyn was stunned.
“When I get back, my brother will come to play with you. Grandma Grey, is it okay?” Betty decisively used Ricky to please Jocelyn.
“Will Ricky come?” Jocelyn’s eyes lit up. It was obvious that she was tempted.
Isabella rubbed her forehead. “Master Grey, Betty has indeed not been back for a long time. It’s time for her to go to school. During the holidays, I’ll send the children to Mystical Island to accompany you.”
Jocelyn was helpless when she heard that. “Yes, the children have to go to school.”
Landon said, “Draxton, Bella, I’ve arranged for a helicopter to escort you. Don’t worry. Although Mystical Island is not as developed as the outside world, Mystical Island is not weak either. In our territory, no matter how powerful the President is, he can’t hurt you. You will definitely be able to return smoothly.”
Draxton said, “The President won’t hurt us anymore. At this point, he also knows that he can’t kill us. He’s a smart person. He must be thinking of a way to repair his relationship with the Lockwood family.”
“That’s good,” Landon said.
When Draxton and Isabella boarded the plane with Betty, Betty was a little hesitant. She turned around and looked behind, looking for something.
Isabella was puzzled. When she took a closer look, she saw nine old men waving at Betty with tears in their eyes.
A sweet smile appeared on Betty’s face as she waved at the old men. Then, she put her hands above her head and made a hand heart.
The few old men couldn’t help but rush out.
Jaye walked at the front and waved his hand. “Betty, don’t go. We can’t bear to leave you!”
“Grandpa Jaye, you guys have to be good! Didn’t I tell you guys to contact me on the phone after I get back?” Jaye stood silently on the spot and looked at Betty bitterly.
Betty said, “After I go back, I’ll record videos, sing, tell stories, and dance for you every day. Every day after school, I’ll tell you what I learned in school.”
The old men became even sadder and had more tears. Jaye said, “Betty Baby, you must keep your word. Don’t forget. If you forget, we will be very sad.”
Betty could not help but run over and hug Jaye.
The next moment, Jaye picked up Betty, turned around, and ran.
“Alas…”
Isabella was stunned.
How could he do so?
Draxton was speechless as well. His daughter was too adorable, and she was liked by both young and old. Draxton did not expect Jaye, the Senior Elder of the council, would actually do something like snatching someone else’s child.
Betty was also very helpless. She patted the bald head of Jaye and said, “Grandpa Jaye, when I go back, I’ll ask my younger brother to send you videos too. My younger brother is very obedient. He looks very similar to me. I also have a robot. I’ll record the videos of it for you guys when the time comes.”
Jaye stopped in his tracks and regained his rationality. He reluctantly sent Betty back.
Isabella smiled and said, “The elders like Betty. I’ll send Betty over during the holidays. Just don’t mind her causing trouble.”
“No, no, we can’t wait to see Betty here,” the old men quickly said.
Isabella patted Betty’s head and said, “Betty, say goodbye to your grandpas.”
Betty waved goodbye obediently.
Landon said, “Draxton, Bella, District 9 is yours. The position of Ninth Master will always be reserved for you. Don’t forget that this is your home too.”
Draxton turned around and bowed slightly. “We see, Uncle Landon. Bella and I will come and visit you often.”
With that, he picked up Betty and protected Isabella before getting into the helicopter.
Everyone watched them leave.
After the helicopter took off, Isabella lamented, “I didn’t expect us to stay on Mystical Island for so long.”
“We didn’t stay on Mystical Island for nothing. With Uncle Landon and Master Grey here, we even reached an agreement with the council. I’m looking forward to the President’s expression,” Draxton said.
Isabella smirked and said, “I’m looking forward to it too.”
Queen was the top club in Dawton City.
Typically, rich people could not enter this place.
The people who could enter and leave this place were all nobles. It could also be said that this club was a place where the real nobles gathered.
At eight o’clock in the evening, three people knocked on the door of the purple diamond private room in
Queen.
He just couldn’t get used to this woman being so arrogant. Everyone in Maestria flattered the Wheeler family and no one had ever dared to treat them like this. However, ever since they came to Dawton City, they had been bullied.
Especially this woman called Anna. She seemed to be hostile to the Wheeler family and always looked like she didn’t like them.
However, she worked for the President, so there was nothing he could do.
Although Yax was unwilling, he did not dare to offend the President’s people. Just as he was about to apologize, Anna spoke.
“There’s no need to apologize. I take no offense at a child’s babble. I don’t care.” Anna waved her hand and hooked it around Jason’s neck.
Jason was stunned.
He tilted his head and looked at Anna silently.
Anna completely ignored Jason’s reaction and said to Yax, “Kid, did you see that? I have a boyfriend, and we’ll get married. How dare you say that I can’t get married?”
Jason was speechless.
He really didn’t mean that.
However, he did not embarrass Anna. Anna was Ziana’s daughter. Ziana was Bella’s teacher and Bella’s benefactor. It was only right for him to protect Anna.
Yax looked at Jason in shock.
Jason coughed lightly and said, “Let’s get straight to the point.”
“What the President means is to stop suppressing the Lockwood family. From now on, no one can hurt the Lockwood family anymore,” Jason said.
Denver was stunned for a moment, and an unwilling expression flashed across his face. Then, he asked, “Mr. Lang, forgive my stupidity, but why did the President suddenly change his mind? Didn’t you say that…. you wanted to completely suppress the Lockwood family?”
Jason looked at him with dark eyes and explained, “Because… Draxton is coming back!”
Denver was stunned.
He blurted out in shock, “Isn’t everyone saying that Draxton and Isabella are dead?”
As soon as he said this, Jason’s face suddenly darkened.
Michael’s expression changed. He raised his hand and patted Denver’s shoulder. “Denver, what nonsense are you talking about? How can we believe rumors? We’ll do whatever the President says. Don’t ask too much.” Jason looked at Denver with a deep gaze and said, “Mr. Flouder is right. We are all working for the President. We will do whatever the President instructs us to do.”
“Yes, yes. We’ve taken over a lot of the Lockwood family’s businesses. It’s still a problem to really manage them well. We really can’t handle it if we get more. The business makes us very stressful now.”
Denver was not dumbfounded. When he came back to his senses, he quickly followed Jason’s words. Jason stood up and said, “Since I’ve informed the three of you, that’s all for today. I still have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay any longer.”
As he spoke, he opened the door and left.
Anna also walked out. As she walked, she sneered at Denver and said, “How greedy are you? Do you want to get the entire Lockwood family? Dream on!”
Denver’s face turned pale. He stood rooted to the ground and said, “Why… did they suddenly leave?”
Michael looked at him speechlessly and said, “Denver, didn’t I tell you that Jason belongs to the Lang family?”
“Although the Lang family has some reputation, we don’t have to care about them. If Jason wasn’t lucky enough to be chosen by the President, why would we have to bow down to him?”
Denver was indignant.
Michael expected better from him and said, “Isabella also belongs to the Lang family. Although Isabella didn’t return to the Lang family, look at Jason’s attitude. It’s obvious that he’s protecting Isabella and the Lockwood family.
“You said that Jason’s sister is dead in front of Jason. How can he not be mad?” Denver was stunned. “I’ve heard of this before, but I didn’t think of it for a while.”
Michael sighed. “You have to be more careful.”
