No Way Back

Chapter 345

James was wearing a silver-grey suit and silver-rimmed glasses. He looked refined.

He walked in with an indifferent expression. When he passed by the Beck family, Andy couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle. “Unfilial son, why are you still here? Scram!”

His face was filled with disgust and dissatisfaction. He was afraid that others would notice James and embarrass the Beck family, so his tone was fast and anxious.

James glanced at him coldly and ignored him. He continued to stride forward.

Soon, he would be able to avenge his mother. He was not in a hurry.

Andy’s face turned red with anger when he saw how rebellious James was.

Brandon was used to pleasing Andy. Moreover, he was also happy to see James make a ****of himself. Thus, his figure flashed and blocked James.

He looked at James provocatively, but his face revealed the look of a “good brother”. He said earnestly, “James, Dad is talking to you. What kind of attitude is that?”

James coldly looked at him. Brandon continued, “James, I heard that you were chased out of the residence by Mr. Lockwood. If I were you, I would definitely not have the courage to step into the door of the district master’s manor again. I really didn’t expect you to be so thick-skinned.

“However, even if you’re ***, the Beck family still cared about our dignity. James, let me give you a piece of advice. You should leave quickly while no one is paying attention to you.”

Brandon’s eyes were filled with a smug smile.

***James was his greatest joy.

At the side, Fionna and Annie’s eyes flashed with smiles.

They had also planned to ***James, but James had escaped.

They had been running away for a few years. When James returned this time, they were uneasy at first, but now it seemed that James was not very capable. They were relieved.

James clenched his fists tightly. A strong ****intent flashed in his eyes under his silver wire-framed glasses. He shouted coldly, “Get lost!”

As he spoke, he pushed Brandon away and continued to stride forward.

Brandon staggered from the push, and his smug expression instantly froze.

Seeing that James was about to leave, Brandon wanted to stop him again with a gloomy expression, but he was stopped by Paul.

Members of the Beck family looked at Paul in surprise. Paul said calmly, “Since he doesn’t know ***and insists on staying, we don’t have to care about him.

“Coincidentally, today is an opportunity. In a while, I will officially announce that James will be expelled from the Beck family. From now on, he will have nothing to do with the Beck family!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Beck family was stunned for a ****before they were overjoyed.

Especially Fionna and her children, they were overjoyed.

Old Madam Beck clapped his hands and applauded. “Hubby, you should have done this a long time ago. How good can Ximena’s son be?”

Andy nodded in agreement.

James had not gone far when he heard the Beck family’s words. His lips curved into a mocking smile.

Through the crowd, Isabella glanced at James. James also happened to look at her. Their gazes met and separated.

However, Kimberley witnessed this scene.

Kimberley narrowed her eyes. Previously, everyone knew that James was chased out of district master’s manor. But now, the relationship between Isabella and James was obviously subtle.

Could it be that… Isabella actually had some shady relationship with James?

She felt that something was wrong. The interaction between Isabella and Draxton was extremely intimate. As long as Isabella had not gone crazy, she would not ****around with Draxton’s subordinates.

However, no matter what the truth was, she had already thought of a brilliant idea.

When the banquet began, the Mystical Island still followed some old habits from ancient times, which was that the male and female guests had to be separated.

The men would be on one side and the women would be on the other.

Draxton greeted the male guests and Isabella greeted the female guests. Amidst everyone’s constant probing and laughter, Isabella smelled a fragrance again.

Isabella vigilantly looked up for Kimberley.

She happened to see Kimberley smiling apologetically at her with a glass of wine.

Then, Kimberley put down her glass and walked towards the bathroom.

Isabella squinted her eyes. She put down her wine glass and followed Kimberley.

Kimberley seemed to have expected Isabella to follow her. Her lips could not help but curve.

When she reached the bathroom, Isabella realized that Kimberley had suddenly disappeared.

Isabella squinted her eyes and found it interesting. This Kimberley was indeed worthy of being a member of the Mercenary Association. She was quite capable.

Just as she was about to find Kimberley, the bathroom door suddenly slammed ***behind her.

Isabella turned around and saw a figure standing there with lifeless eyes.

This person was not Kimberley, but James.

*James?” Isabella sized up James. Naturally, she could tell that something was wrong with him.

Isabella flashed over and grabbed James’s wrist, wanting to take his pulse.

However, James was even faster. Instead, he grabbed Isabella’s wrist.

Instantly, his hands trembled violently.

His lifeless eyes gradually blurred, and then a painful struggle flashed across them.

However, that trace of struggle was quickly replaced by a dazed expression. He held Isabella’s wrist tightly and his tall body pressed down on Isabella.

His breath came in short gasps.

Isabella’s face sank. James had been set up!

One of her wrists was held by James, while her other hand quickly grabbed his other wrist. Isabella looked at it and frowned.

This was because James’s pulse showed clearly a symptom of being drugged or poisoned.

Isabella pondered for a ***and naturally thought of the strange fragrance emitted from Kimberley’s body.

Isabella thought for a ****and understood the twists and turns.

Kimberley had used the strange fragrance on her twice. Clearly, the strange fragrance had a bewitching effect, just like how it was currently affecting James.

However, Kimberley did not know that Isabella had the Evolution Poison in her body and was immune to all poisons. Not only did Kimberley’s strange fragrance not make her lose her mind, but it also provided nourishment for Evolution Poison.

That was right. Previously, her golden butterfly liked that strange fragrance very much.

On the other hand, James was an ordinary person.

He was clearly being controlled.

Kimberley’s goal was very simple. She wanted something bad to happen between Isabella and James.

It was indeed a huge scandal for Mrs. Lockwood to have an unspeakable affair with Draxton’s subordinate.

If Isabella guessed correctly, Kimberley must be approaching Draxton at that ****.

It had to be said that Kimberley’s plan was perfect.

This was because if she didn’t have the Evolution Poison in her body, she might have fallen for it.”

However, she was no ordinary person.

Kimberley was an open-minded person. It was no secret in District 9 that she had many male companions. Therefore, no one was surprised when she walked to the male guest area with a glass of wine in her hand and rushed straight to Draxton.

Other than the members of the Beck family who revealed hostile expressions, many others looked like they were waiting to watch a good show.

Draxton frowned slightly when he saw Kimberley coming over. But soon, he smelled a fragrance entering

his nose.

Draxton’s expression changed.

A flirtatious smile appeared on Kimberley’s face. She leaned forward slightly and approached Draxton. Her voice was also gentle and charming “Mr. Lockwood, I have something to tell you. Can we talk in private?” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Kimberley pointed to a secluded resting area not far away.

Draxton paused and said, “Okay.”
