Chapter 140 Two Uninvited Guests
Patriarch Riker and Lindon looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
The Lockwood family was too strong. Both of them were among the four major families in Dawton City,
but the Riker family was far from being comparable to the Lockwood family. How could the Riker family
be willing?
“Dad, I’ll go meet those juniors.” Lindon stood up.
Patriarch Riker shook his head. “No, it’s not appropriate for you to go. After all, you’re an elder. Call
Shane over. Shane is of the same generation as them. They should be able to get along.”
Lindon agreed and immediately called Shane.
Shane arrived in twenty minutes. He looked at Patriarch Riker and Lindon in confusion. “Grandpa, Uncle
Lindon, why did you call me here?”
They couldn’t have called him over for lunch, could they?
Patriarch Riker narrowed his eyes and smiled without saying anything.
Lindon smiled and said, “Your grandpa and I naturally called you here to have lunch, but not with us.”
Shane was even more confused.
Lindon said, “A few juniors from the Lockwood family are also eating at Savor Their private room is not
far from ours. You guys are of the same generation Why don’t you go and greet them?”
Shane was a little hesitant To be honest, although Shane was in the same generation as the juniors of
the Lockwood family and he was even born in the same year of the Lockwood family twins, he was not
familiar with them.
The juniors of the Lockwood family seemed to be doing nothing all day long, but Shane deeply
remembered one thing. Three years ago, at an international business conference, how the Lockwood
family twins saw through the enemy’s trap and broke it
At that time, Shane had already fallen into the trap If not for the Lockwood family twins rescuing him, he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwould have suffered a huge loss at that conference
At that time, the performance of the Lockwood family twins was very different from their usual idle
appearance
Shane still didn’t dare to recall what the twins looked like at that time. It was as if Shane saw Draxton’s
shadow from them.
To this day, Shane still had lingering fears every time he recalled what had happened back then.
Later on, the Riker family thought that Shane was the one who saw through the enemy’s trap. After all, in
everyone’s eyes, other than Draxton, everyone else in the Lockwood family was idle.
Therefore, in the Riker family’s eyes, the one who broke the enemy’s trap was naturally him, Shane.
However, the Lockwood family twins were very cooperative and pushed the credit to Shane.
So, in the end, no matter how ashamed and uneasy Shane felt, he was forced to admit it.
After that, Shane would take a detour whenever he saw the Lockwood family twins.
At this moment, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Shane’s forehead. Shane looked at Lindon and said,
“Uncle Lindon, you want me to go to the juniors of the Lockwood family?”
Lindon said, “I will go with you. Those juniors from the Lockwood family have nothing to do all day long.
Let’s give them something to do.”
Shane’s back went numb. “Uncle Lindon, what can we find for them to do?”
“The second and third branches must be dissatisfied for a long that the main branch of the Lockwood
family monopolized the power. If we can cooperate with the second and third branches, they will
definitely agree.”
Shane opened his mouth, but no words of rejection came out.
This was because Shane suddenly thought that the twins from the Lockwood family were clearly very
capable, but why had they been hiding their abilities?
Needless to say, it was because of Draxton’s suppression.
They might be afraid of being harmed by Draxton after exposing their true strength.
If the Riker family showed the intention to cooperate with them at this time, it was very likely that they
would be tempted.
Thinking of this, Shane nodded in agreement.
Shane said, “But Uncle Lindon, if the people from the eldest and second branches are here, I’m afraid it
won’t be good for us to provoke them.”
“It doesn’t matter. Our goal isn’t to really cooperate with them, but to let them fight among themselves.
“After we look for them today, be it the second or third branches, they will secretly look for us later on,”
Lindon said confidently.
The two of them reached an agreement and walked out of the private room to the private room of the
Lockwood family juniors.
Patriarch Riker sat alone in the private room and enjoyed the dishes in front of him. Since these top
nobles would be willing to come to eat, needless to say, Savor’s food was naturally top-notch delicacies.
At the same time, the Lockwood family juniors were eating and playing in the private room. In fact, they
didn’t come to Savor often. After all, although Savor’s food was good, it was really expensive.
It wasn’t that they didn’t have money, but they felt that the food at home was better. There was really no
need for them to come to Savor often.
The reason why they came to Savor today was that Olivia had told them in the family group chat that
Ethan was back, and she and Ethan were coming to Savor for lunch!
They were here to see what would happen.
Kevin was only 14 years old and was still in school. Naturally, he did not come.
Roger was only 20 years old, and he usually had classes. But he was rather free and easy, and his
parents, Macpherson and Mia, didn’t care about him, so he came today.
Yale and the Lockwood family twins were also here.
The four siblings took a bite and glanced at the door of the private room where Olivia and Ethan were.
The doors of their private room were all ajar, so they were not soundproof. This was also what Olivia had
agreed with them.
At this moment, there was a knock on their door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Lockwood family juniors looked at each other. Why would someone knock on the door?
They had previously instructed the waiters not to disturb them. Could it be Olivia?
Their eyes lit up with gossip. Yale got up and opened the door. The smile on her face collapsed when
she saw Lindon and Shane outside the door.
“Mr. Riker, Shane, what are you doing?” Yale asked in confusion. She had no intention of inviting them
in. Yale and Olivia were the same age. Compared to Olivia’s lively and generous appearance, Yale
looked more like her mother, Mia, and had a delicate and charming charm.
Shane looked at Yale. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes before it changed to a polite
expression. “Vale, Uncle Lindon and I came to Savor for lunch. We saw that you were also here, so we
came to have a chat with you,” Shane braced himself to say as he saw the Lockwood family twins and
Roger looking at them curiously
Since Shane had already said so, Yale could not continue to stop them and could only invite the two of
them into the private room.
“Boys and girls, sorry to disturb you. Shane and I were a little rude to come to you suddenly. I will pay for
your meal. Let’s add a few more dishes.”
The Lockwood family siblings did not order much food. It was only enough for the four of them. Any more
would be a waste.
However, in Lindon’s eyes, the Lockwood family’s second and third branches were indeed living an
uptight life. They actually only ordered so little food, which was really shabby.
As an elder, Lindon added a few more dishes. The Lockwood family juniors looked at each other. Roger
was the youngest, and he couldn’t help but purse his lips. Such uninvited guests were too annoying. If
they had known earlier, they would have chased them away.
However, Lindon and Shane had already entered. It was too late to drive them away now.
Bernard and Shepard also found it strange. Didn’t Shane always take a detour when he saw them? Why
did Shane take the initiative to approach them now?
They sat down. Lindon smiled and said, “Savor is really lively today. Previously, we heard that Ethan and
Olivia were also here to have lunch. Just now, we happened to see Isabella here too.”
