Chapter 333 District 9

For a moment, everyone looked at Betty in horror. If they did not hear wrongly, the little girl was carrying a poisonous snake on her back.

Landon lowered his head and looked at Betty with a hint of affection in his eyes. He did not tell her about the assassination attempt that night as he did not want to scare the little girl.

Hence, all this while, Betty slept soundly and ate soundly. She was as carefree and happy as ever.

In the end, they were the ones who had to clear the mess.

Landon smiled and stroked Betty's curly hair. He said gently, "Don't you miss your parents when you see them? Or do you miss Mr. Wright?"

As he said this, Landon was secretly hopeful. If the young lady liked him, he might be able to keep Betty by his side without any resistance.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Betty ran away quickly.

Landon's hand was still stroking Betty's hair. He retracted his hand expressionlessly and silently looked at Betty's cold and heartless body as she turned her back on him. The little girl was already wheedling in her mother's arms.

The corners of his mouth twitched. Landon did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Isabella's gaze instantly became gentle. She squatted down and held Betty's little face to eye level with her. When she saw the little girl's eyes filled with attachment and grievance, her heart immediately ached. She could not help but pull the little girl into her arms and kiss her little face. She immediately felt relieved that Betty was safe and sound.

Betty wrapped his arms around her mother's neck and rested her chin on her mother's shoulder. At the same time, she winked at her father. Isabella was amused. This mischievous girl hugged her mother while acting coquettishly with her father. She could really charm anyone. Draxton's expression was also unbelievably gentle at this moment. He raised his large hand and gently stroked his daughter's curly hair. Her hair seemed to have grown a little longer, but the butterfly knot on her head was gone.

Draxton's eyes were as gentle as water, but in the blink of an eye, he turned to look in Julian's direction. "So Mr. Doyle wanted to assassinate my daughter so he could take the opportunity to sow discord between the Lockwood family and the Liberals. What a brilliant plan."

Julian's expression changed, and he denied vehemently, "What nonsense!"

After saying that, he looked at Landon angrily. "Landon, don't slander me. I invited Mr. Lockwood and Mrs. Lockwood to be guest members of the tribunal committee. You are the one who took their daughter away, but now you're trying to sow discord. It's bad enough that you caused the old president to die of anger, but now you're plotting against me. Landon, I know that you want to be president, but you're too unscrupulous." "There's no need to quibble about who the unscrupulous person is. We both know it in our hearts, and so do others. It's just that they do not say anything.

"I've already brought you the body of the person you sent to assassinate Betty."

With that, some men from the Liberals carried a corpse into the hall and threw it at Julian's feet.

Everyone gasped.

They recognized that this corpse was not an ordinary person. His name was Max, and he was a member of the Arcana Group. This was well-known for his alarming speed. This organization was located in District 9.

Julian looked at Max's body expressionlessly and cursed the dead man in his heart. However, he let out a sigh. "Landon, everyone knows that this person is from District 9. It's not like you don't know how difficult it has been to manage District 9 all these years. How can you use him to frame me now?

"Could it be that the news of Mr. Lockwood's imminent rule of District 9 was leaked out, causing the people to be upset?"
