Chapter 329 Reunion
Wayne sounded as though he wanted to probe for more information.
He wanted to know what Draxton and Isabella thought of James now.
They heard that James was no longer as competent and was sent back to Mytical Island by
Draxton back. then
However, from the looks of it, they were not sure if that was the truth.
The young man from the Beck family held his face that was still stinging from the punch
from James. He stared at the group with a sinister glint.
Both the patriarch and matriarch of the Beck family, as well as James’ parents were
standing beside him. They were looking in the direction of the ground.
Fionna’s face was especially grim.
She muttered, “Andy, James has gone overboard. How can he hit his younger brother? I
know that James is displeased with me and Brandon, but how can he…”
James’ father was Andy Beck. His face was ashen.
He looked at his wife and son with a pained expression. He then walked toward James
angrily.
Andy was sneering in his heart. He was interested to see what James would do if Draxton
and Isabella gave. him the cold shoulder. He could not wait to see how embarrassed James
would be in front of everyone.

However, when he walked over, he saw Isabella and James shaking hands with each other.
Draxton, too nodded at James.
James was a little excited. He said, “I’m very surprised that both of you on Mystical Island.”
Andy could not help but sneer when he heard this. “Who do you think you are? Do you think
you’re fit to talk. to Mr. Lockwood in this manner? You unfilial son. Do you know how serious
this matter is?”
James’ face turned cold.
Draxton’s expression also froze. He glanced at Andy and said, “Sir, it’s not up to you to tell
James and me what to say to each other.”
He shot a cold look at Andy before turning to Wayne. “James has always been my
competent partner. We get along very well. Of course, we hold him in high regard.”
Wayne’s expression changed slightly. Draxton was talking about James as a competent
partner, not a subordinate. It appeared that Draxton valued James very much.
Andy’s face was equally grim.
He heard that James was sent back to Mystic Island because Draxton did not want him
anymore.
Wayne laughed dryly.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little tense.
Just then, Julian smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Come on, don’t just stand here.
Let’s have a drink together.”
The mood instantly lightened up. Soon, everyone was drinking away as if nothing awkward
had happened earlier.
After toasting the group, Julian continued. This banquet is not only to introduce the new
member of the tribunal committee, I also have another announcement to make.”
Everyone immediately pricked up their ears to listen attentively.
Julian said, “There’s also the transfer of District 9. From today onwards, I will hand over the
management of District 9 to our new tribunal member, Mr. Lockwood.”
As soon as Julian spoke, the entire place was in an uproar.
Everyone was taken by surprise Immediately, they started congratulating Draxton with
mixed feelings.
Their expressions looked very strange District 9 was not a good place Julian was handing
over the management of District 9 to Draxton. It might not be a good thing.
Everyone’s mood was a little somber.
A sharp glint flashed across Andy’s eyes. The relationship between Draxton and Julian
appeared to be rather perplexing.
Only James lowered his head. The reflection from his glasses concealed his excitement.
Everyone at the banquet had different thoughts. The Wright family watched the events
unfold in silence. Old Madam Wright took a long, hard look at Draxton, Isabella, and James.
At that moment, her eyes revealed a hint of wisdom. “Erika, George, find an opportunity for
me to get close to Mr. Lockwood and Mrs. Lockwood.” Erika and George looked at each

other in surprise. However, they always knew that their mother would not say anything
senseless. She must have her reasons for asking them to do that.
Could it be that their mother wanted to rope in the Lockwood family and Miss Thompson to
help them?
Just as they were thinking about how to approach Isabella and Draxton in front of all the
guests, a commotion was heard at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Everyone looked over and saw Landon and a group of people walk in.
Beside Landon was an exquisite-looking and cute little girl.
When Julian saw them, the smile on his face gradually froze.
His eyes were fixed on Betty.
Landon held on to Betty’s little hand. Her big eyes looked curiously around the hall. When
she saw her parents among the guests, her dark blue eyes instantly widened.
Her eyes twinkled with surprise. She could not believe that she would see her parents here.
Isabella and Draxton also saw Betty. They were equally astonished. Both of them
immediately rushed up to Betty.
Betty’s eyes were glued to her parents. The grievance of leaving her parents for so many
days surged into her heart. She pouted and was about to call for help.
At this moment, someone spoke up.
Winnie shouted, “It’s her! I want to scratch her face! Grandpa, Grandma, Daddy, Mommy, I
want to scratch her face!”
