Chapter 141 What’s That?
“Is Isabella here to have her meal too?” Roger’s eyes lit up. His sparkling eyes made Lindon and Shane
feel uncomfortable and strange.
They could see how much Draxton’s family had suppressed the other branch families, making them
excited even when they heard the name Isabella.
Yale, Bernard, and Shepard also looked at the two people from the Riker family.
Yale said, “Mr. Riker, is Isabella really here? Which private room is she in? Is my Big Brother here too?”
Her tone sounded a little nervous when she mentioned her Big Brother. It was obvious that she did not
want
to see him.
Recently, Olivia said Big Brother would arrange a job for them. The few of them had long been terrified.
All they felt was fear when mentioning Draxton.
Her behavior confirmed they were displeased about Draxton and very afraid of him.
Lindon and Shane looked at each other and noticed they both had the same expression.
Deliberately, Lindon revealed his hesitance. He stammered, “It’s not with Draxton… but…”
At this point, he put on a troubled expression as if it was something difficult to express.
The Lockwood family members looked puzzled. Roger urged, “Mr. Riker, what’s wrong? Tell me, which
private room is my sister-in-law in?”
Lindon sighed and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to say it, but… I’m afraid that if I say it, I’ll cause an
unnecessary misunderstanding.”
“What’s there to misunderstand?” Yale asked.
“That’s right, Mr. Riker. What’s there to misunderstand? Since Isabella is here, of course, we have to go
and greet her!”
Shepard also expressed his thought.
Lindon sighed and pretended as though they were forcing him to speak the truth. “It’s better if you don’t
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgo and disturb her.
“I saw her enter the private room with a strange man just now. It looks like their relationship is not
ordinary!”
Everyone fell silent.
The Lockwood family member fell silent. They looked at each other. Roger was the first to get mad about
it. “What? That’s intolerable!”
Yale also widened her charming almond-shaped eyes. She and Roger looked at each other, and Roger
said, “Sister, we have to take a look.”
“Yes, let’s go take a look!” Yale said.
Isabella was their the Lockwood family’s treasure. If another man took her away from them, it would be
the Lockwood family’s loss.
The two of them rubbed their fists together, ready to beat that man up.
A trace of disdain flashed across Lindon’s eyes. It seemed that the siblings from the third branch were
not as calm as the twins from the second branch.
Shane had the same thought. He knew the Lockwood family’s twins were not simple, but the third branch
was a little ordinary.
If that were the case, the third branch would be a better partner to cooperate with.
After all, the third branch was easy to control.
“Yale, Roger, don’t go now. Why don’t you go over and greet them when they come out later?” Lindon
advised. Roger sat down impatiently. But he was also afraid of disturbing Isabella and her friend’s meal.
If he Isabella, his Big Brother would punish him.
However, he was as curious as a cat as he pondered, “Who is the man having a meal with Isabella?”
annoyed
“Mr. Riker, why are you looking for us?” Bernard asked.
It was not a good idea for these two to look for them. Otherwise, with Shane’s personality of avoiding
them whenever he saw them, he would not have taken the initiative to come knocking on their door.
Lindon smiled and said, “It’s nothing much. We saw that you were free, so we came to greet you.
“After all, only you guys are free in the Lockwood family.”
If an average family heard this, they would feel upset. After all, they were descendants of large families
but were said to be idle. To put it nicely, they were idle, but to put it bluntly, they did not have any job to
do. The Lockwood family members looked at each other. Roger said, “I’m not idle at all. I still have
classes to attend occasionally.”
As he spoke, he sighed. Unlike his sister and brothers, they had all finished their compulsory courses. A
hint of pity flashed across Lindon and Shane’s eyes.
“Well, Mr. Lockwood is selfish. Why didn’t he arrange some positions for you guys? The Lockwood family
has. a big business. Why is he the only one working?”
Roger, who had been lamenting the hardships of attending class, was suddenly stunned.
He widened his eyes and looked at Lindon. He said, “Mr. Riker, did my brother send you here to test us
out?” Lindon and Shane were stunned. They did not expect Roger to be so direct.
They originally thought that it would be fine if Roger was so young, but they did not expect Bernard,
Shepard, and Yale to also look at them nervously.
“That can’t be, right? Big Brother wouldn’t ask Riker family people to test us, right?” Yale muttered softly.
At this moment, Lindon was already certain that these juniors were not having a good time. He spoke
meaningfully.
“Why would Draxton send us here? I feel that you guys seem to be free and feel bad. So, I came to
comfort you all.”
Shepard took a bite of the meatball and said, “To be honest, Mr. Riker, we don’t need comfort. We’re
doing. well.”
He sounded extremely sincere.
However, to Lindon, he was extremely sad, but he did not dare to say anything.
Lindon shook his head and sighed. “Draxton is too much. He should at least give you guys something to
do. He’s taking everything on himself. Isn’t he afraid that outsiders would make fun of you guys?”

“We’re not afraid of being laughed at,” Roger quickly said.
“Yeah, we’re not afraid of being made fun of,” Yale quickly added.
Lindon sighed even more. Shane also looked at them with sympathy. He could not help but secretly
rejoice. Fortunately, grandpa had chosen him long ago ad the Riker family’s heir. He did not have to be in
a worrying situation like the Lockwood family’s descendants.
Lindon said, “Kids, don’t be afraid. As long as you want, Mr. Riker will talk to your grandpa and ask him
to treat his children and grandchildren equally.”
Shane also said, “That’s right. It doesn’t make sense for Draxton to be patriarch and let you guys waste
your time daily.”
Lindon continued, “I will definitely get grandpa to persuade Draxton to arrange a good job for you.”
The children of the Lockwood family were startled.
They felt that the food on the table was no longer appetizing.
In a daze, they looked at the two from the Riker family as they thought, “W-What are they saying?”
They could not understand why the two wanted their Big Brother to arrange jobs for them.
Were Riker family people crazy, or were they crazy?
Wasn’t it good to be idle every day? Why would they want to work?
Could it be that Draxton had asked the Riker family to warn them?
Chapter 141 What’s That?
They were so terrified that they did not know what to do.
Lindon and Shane smiled when they saw the dumbfounded expressions of the four of them. It seemed
that their goal had been achieved.
This time, Riker family’s second and third branches would definitely realize the importance of finding
external help to cooperate.
How could they compete with Draxton without external help?
They thought they had achieved their goal. At this moment, a waiter came to deliver the food.
However, the Lockwood family members were no longer in the mood to eat. Their minds were filled with
the tragedy of Big Brother arranging jobs for them.
At the same time, the door of the private room opposite opened, and Olivia and Ethan walked out.
