Chapter 368 Joining Forces To Seek Trouble Landon’s face flushed red. He panicked and lost his composure.
The smile on Jocelyn’s lips deepened when she saw him like this.
Landon’s gaze was fleeting. He did not dare to look her in the eye at all. He stammered, “Jocelyn, you know that my memory has been good since | was young.” Jocelyn nodded seriously. “That's right. Your memory has been good since you were young. You've been smart since you were young.” “That's right, that’s right.” Landon nodded in agreement.
“You're just a little timid. You're afraid of snakes and insects. You once accidentally stepped on a green insect and were so frightened that your face turned pale. | was the one who chased the insect away,” Jocelyn said.
Landon’s expression stiffened slightly. He said helplessly, “Jocelyn, can we not talk about this in front of the children?” It was too embarrassing! Jocelyn smiled gently and continued, “But later on, you seemed to have overcthose fears. In the end, even poisonous insects and snakes were nothing to you. You could catch them with bare hands.” Landon was speechless.
Jocelyn sighed. There was a hint of melancholy and nostalgia in her eyes. “Back then, | was young and frivolous.
| thought that no one in this world was worthy of hanging around, so | left decisively. After over twenty years, | really miss the past a lot whenever | think about it.” “Jocelyn...” Landon’s eyes dimmed slightly as he looked at Jocelyn worriedly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsabella smiled and touched her chin. She said, “Master Grey, Mr. Wright, why don’t Draxton and | leave first to make room for the two of you to catch up?” Hearing this, Draxton stood up cooperatively and really planned to leave.
Swoosh! Jocelyn and Landon turned to look at them. Jocelyn rolled her eyes at Isabella and carried Betty to the sofa to sit down.
She said furiously, “I'm here to talk to you about serious matters. Since Landon is here too, let's sit down and talk.” Isabella smiled and said, “There's no hurry for business, right? Master Grey, Draxton and | can really leave first...” Landon coughed lightly and sat down as well. He acted as if nothing had happened and pretended to be calm.
“Uh... Let's talk business. Business is more important. Jocelyn, what do you want to talk about?” Landon asked very seriously.
Isabella facepalmed and stopped teasing them. Jocelyn seemed fine and was not afraid of her teasing them at all, but Landon seemed to be panicking.
They all sat down.
Isabella looked up and said to Wren, “Wren, go get us scoffee.” Isabella sent Wren away.
Wren lowered his head and replied respectfully before leaving.
Jocelyn stared at Wren’s back and narrowed his eyes. “This person had been working for quite a long tin the district master’s manor, right?” Isabella nodded. “Yes. | suspect that the former district master’s death is related to Wren. Moreover, no matter who he is, he’s definitely our enemy. It’s better to be wary of him.” Jocelyn nodded and said, “You guys are new here, so it’s better to be careful.” After saying that, she looked at Landon and said, “How did the old president die?” Isabella immediately understood Jocelyn was here for the tribunal committee’s old president.
The old president was Landon’s father. She should ask Landon about it.
Landon looked at Jocelyn with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes. His gaze becextremely gentle as he said, “I knew you would investigate my father’s death. After all, you got along well with him back in the day, even better than me, his biological son.” “Cut the crap!” Jocelyn urged.
“It was Julian and Cecilia,” said Landon.
“Sure enough, it has something to do with them!” Realization dawned on Jocelyn.
Landon said, “Julian was the mastermind, and Cecilia was the accomplice. After Father died, | checked Father's body and found traces of bugs.” At this point, he felt somewhat uncomfortable and said, “Jocelyn, you know | studied the poison bug. | know them quite well. | won't be wrong.” “How dare they?” Jocelyn raged. “Do you have any evidence?” Landon shook his head in disappointment. “No, just as | was about to find the cause of my father’s death, Julia framed me. He said | killed my father for the president's position. Julian took the evidence and reportedto the council. He seized my position and power in the tribunal committee and forcedto the slums.” Jocelyn frowned.
“Back then, it happened so suddenly that | was unprepared. However, all these years, I've been investigating the truth back then and found something,” Landon continued.
Jocelyn looked at him and said, “I know, Landon. With your ability, I'm sure you found something. Even if | didn’t meet you today, | would still look for you.” Landon smiled faintly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJocelyn’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Julian and Cecilia, it's tfor these two bastards to suffer!” In the evening, Isabella personally cooked a delicious dinner. Together with Hector, Louis, and Lance. everyone gathered together happily. It was very lively.
It was lively and warm here, but Julian and Cecilia felt especially burdened.
Cecilia held the cup tightly and said with a trembling voice, “Jocelyn is back. She has been away for more than 20 years. Now that she is back, she will definitely not let this matter rest. Julian, you know how good her relationship with the old president was in the past. She is also the tenth elder of the council. She will definitely investigate the old president's death.” The veins on Julian's forehead twitched. He said coldly, “Landon killed the old president. It has nothing to do with us. Celia, we have to bite this point no matter what. To deceive others, you have to hypnotize yourself first.” Cecilia calmed down slightly, and a determined look appeared in her eyes. “That's right.” Julian smiled and said, “Besides, isn’t it good that she’s back? Haven't you always wanted to get Evolution Poison? Celia, here's your chance!” Cecilia was stunned.
Recently, she lost confidence after getting defeated by Isabella and Draxton. However, Julian's words rekindled her ambition.
Julian said, ‘Celia, this time, not only do we want to take back the Evolution Poison, but we also want to leave Isabella and Draxton here forever. Only by killing them will we have no worries.” Cecilia's eyes lit up. She asked, “Julian, what do you plan to do?” “The Moore family’s annihilation is a perfect bait. We can take advantage of it and use it as a cover. We don’t have to stand up for them. Someone will be here to suppress them.” Cecilia's eyes brightened. She lowered her voice and said, “Julian, you mean...” The next day, the Beck family announced a piece of important news.
Old Mr. Beck had personally ordered to expel James from the Beck, family. From then on, James's life and death had nothing to do with the Beck family.
In addition, Old Mr. Beck joined forces with the Sullivan family and all the other factions of District 9 to go straight to the district master’s manor to question the Moore Family's extermination.
Julian was the vice president of the tribunal committee. Of course, he also participated in it and becthe strongest supporter of the Beck and Sullivan family.
Early morning, Isabella and the others woke up after hearing a commotion outside. Then, a large group of people rushed in furiously.
