Chapter 96
Chapter 96 Before The Campaign
The scene was orderly. Other than the Lucsian elites, there were also members of the elite circle who had rushed over from overseas.
They were all reputable figures, and they were very polite.
Carlos's actions kicked up quite a huge fuss before. Many people came because of his reputation.
In addition, someone had heard some rumors that the Miraculous Doctor would appear. Hence, more people came that time.
The Traditional Medicine Association's banquet was different from other banquets. To put it bluntly, the Traditional Medicine Association's banquet was a group of traditional medicine practitioners interacting with ordinary people to promote future cooperation and organizing charity events and some such.
Isabella was wearing a long gray-green dress. She looked elegant and dignified. Not only did she not look old, but she also looked very energetic.
She had a slender figure. Those who didn't know better wouldn't be able to tell that she was already the mother of two children.
Today, her long hair was tied up behind her head It was a simple and elegant hairdo When she walked into the venue with her arm wrapped around Draxton's arm, everyone's gazes immediately gathered on them.
Instantly, some influential figures rushed towards them.
However, not everyone dared to approach them
Some people were not qualified to talk to someone like Lockwood family's chieftain after all
They could only stay at the outermost area and watch from afar
For example, the Rivera family.
"Dude, why does that woman look like Isabella? Could it be that the video that was exposed online was real? The video of the Lockwood family's ex-chieftain protecting Isabella is it true? Is Isabella really his daughter-in-law?"
Regina's eyes widened in shock.
Needless to say, Cristian was also looking at Isabella in shock. He knew very well that it wasn't someone looking like Isabella, It was Isabella.
The identity of the man beside Isabella was undoubtedly the Lockwood family's chieftain. Everyone who could get close to the Lockwood family's chieftain was a figure at the peak of power in their world. However, the question was, why was Isabella by Draxton's side. Even with the video of Philip protecting Isabella exposed, they still suspected that it was fake. After all, how could an ordinary woman get close to a high and mighty figure like Draxton, they figured.
His gaze gradually became complicated. "Could Isabella's marriage partner really be the Lockwood family's chieftain?" He wondered.
That was unbelievable!
Everyone was saying that the Lockwood family's chieftain was married. "Could it be that Isabella was Draxton's mysterious wife?" He wondered further.
Actually, it was not necessarily a mystery, because the outside world was saying that the Lockwood family's chieftain wife became an elite because of her children. Her background was very ordinary, and she was abandoned by her adoptive parents and biological parents.
There was no way a poor child abandoned by her parents be worthy of the Lockwood family's chieftain.
it was not an exaggeration to say that even if a princess of a country married Draxton, it would not be considered marrying beneath one's own status.
With Draxton's status, even the leader of a country had to be polite to him.
Those two were so far apart in so many ways, that it was impossible for them to be together.
But they just were all the same.
"She's Isabella Thompson? She's even more beautiful than she looks in the video." Madame Rivera said.
She was from a side branch of the Lockwood family. She was able to attend this banquet because of that identity.
Mr. Rivera said, "Why did we suspect that in the video, Mr. Lockwood protected Isabella because he saw injustice? He was really protecting his daughter-in-law!"
That was how it was before. Previously, when the Thompson family went to cause trouble, the video of Philip's family protecting Isabella had spread online. They actually thought that it was because Isabella deserved pity and Philip was just helping the downtrodden.
It turned out that Isabella was really the Lockwood family's daughter-in-law.
That was just too much to take in.
Regina said angrily, "No wonder this Isabella is so arrogant. It turns out that she has the Lockwood family backing her up. No wonder she dares to bully Sammy..."
Stella immediately slapped her on the head. "What are you talking about? You're still all about Sammy even now? Is Samantha Lang a good person to begin with? If I hear you say that again, I'll slap you to death!"
She was extremely fierce.
Regina instantly felt wronged and didn't dare to make a sound.
Stella looked in the direction of Isabella with a complicated expression. Suddenly, she sighed faintly and said, "The Lang family has missed out. They have missed out on a huge opportunity!"
They actually did not know how to cherish such a daughter. Even now, they were still soft-hearted towards that imposter who occupied their home. She thought that it would be good if they were even soft- hearted enough to share it with their own biological daughter!
She wondered what they were thinking, and that Samantha Lang was really vicious.
Thinking of that, Stella really felt that something was really wrong. Otherwise, that brainless daughter of hers wouldn't still think that Samantha Lang was good.
Stella couldn't help but twitch in anger at that thought. She glared at Regina angrily, wondering how did she give birth to such an idiot.
Regina shirked from her mother's glare.
General Sanders's full name was Austin Sanders. He was already a general and there were no more than ten generals in his country. General Sanders was one of them and he was ranked first. Everyone respected him.
He had a lot of power in his hands. With him and Draxton exchanging pleasantries, although the other dignitaries also had extraordinary statuses, they did not dare to easily interrupt their conversation.
A few council members stood at the side and listened to them quietly. An old man in a green suit stood quietly behind a council member, his attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.
At the same time, Carlos was also standing beside the other council members. His expression was arrogant, and he looked rather aloof, as if he had everything under control. After all, after today, he figured that his name would soon shock the entire world.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
At that time, he figured it would be all those elites' turn to humbly beg him to reward them with a healthy and energetic body.
He looked at the old man in disdain. The old man's name was Harold Dunn, and he was indeed a medical expert. At that time, Harold was his strongest competitor.
Unfortunately, Carlos figured that Harold was destined to lose to him.
The representatives who supported Carlos and Harold were usually on opposing sides.
General Sanders said to Draxton and Isabella, "This is a member of the Traditional Medicine Association, the director of Dawton City Traditional Medicine Hospital, Mr. Harold Dunn. This time, Mr. Harold Dunn is also one of the candidates."
The representative and Harold heard all that, they smiled and greeted Draxton.
Draxton was chieftain Although he was young, his status was important. It had become a habit for others to take the initiative to greet him.
As for Isabella, when she saw Harold greet her, she silently curled her lips into a meaningful smile.
Harold looked at the chieftain's wife of the Lockwood family. For some reason, his eyelids suddenly twitched
a few times, and he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
However, he really could not remember for the time being.
At that moment, Carlos took the initiative to speak, "You're Isabella, Greg Falkona's disciple?"
Isabella looked over and saw Carlos looking at her casually.
