Chapter 278 The Lost Child
Big Dipper and Little Dipper’s men naturally wouldn’t give way.
Anna’s eyes turned cold. She suddenly took out a docurnent and threw it across the table.
Grey caught the document and opened it. His expression changed slightly.
Anna looked at him expressionlessly and said, “This is the President’s order. He ordered Isabella to
leave the laboratory and let the Willsmith and Craven families be in charge of the laboratory to work with
the Barclays family.
“Also, the Lockwood family can send people into the laboratory to assist from the side!”
Shock and disbelief flashed across the faces of the members of Little Dipper and Big Dipper and the
others. The President had directly taken away the authority of the Lockwood family to manage the
laboratory.
This was too much!
As if she knew what they were thinking, Anna continued, “Don’t blame the President. Unless the
Lockwood family chooses a new patriarch to be in charge of this matter, this matter can only be handled
by the Willsmith and Craven families.”
Generally speaking, the Lockwood family’s patriarch was currently unconscious. It was unknown if he
was dead or alive. He was even determined to be dead. This was the best excuse to seize power from
the Lockwood family.
Little Dipper and Big Dipper’s men looked furious.
“Our patriarch isn’t dead yet!” Grey said angrily.
Anna looked at him coldly and said, “The three of us are only here to pass on the order. Get out of the
way. From now on, the Lockwood family has lost control of the laboratory.
“If you disobey, you will be disobeying orders.”
Old Willsmith and Old Craven sneered, and a smug look appeared in their eyes.
This was all Isabella’s fault. She shouldn’t have gone against them. That was what they were thinking.
Grey took the document and said to Anna, “Miss Lyons, please give us some time. We need to report to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpatriarch’s wife first.”
Anna frowned.
At that moment, Alanna, who was behind Anna, said, “You guys are really loyal dogs. Why are you
protecting Isabella?
“She’s only your patriarch’s woman. If the patriarch dies, you’ll be the men of the Lockwood family’s new
patriarch. You have nothing to do with Isabella.”
Her expression was ferocious and her tone was filled with mockery. She was extremely mean.
Grey’s eyes turned cold. He said to Anna, “Miss Lyons, is this the quality of the President’s envoy? You
guys are too careless in choosing people now.”
Anna also felt that Alanna’s actions were inappropriate, so she turned around and said coldly, “Alanna,
watch your words!”
Alanna suppressed the surging hatred in her heart and said, “Yes, Anna.”
After a pause, she continued, “Anna, this is the President’s order. How dare they ask us to wait? Do they
think that Isabella has more power than the President?
“Isn’t this blatant disobedience? Isabella has already given them bugs!”
Anna was also surprised because Big Dipper and Little Dipper’s men were really loyal to Isabella.
“Miss Lyons, as you can see, Isabella is not a simple person. She even made the Lockwood family’s
Little Dipper and Big Dipper so obediently. This woman is very strange.
“We can’t let her participate in such an important experiment. We have to go in now, expel her from the
laboratory, and force her to never step in and participate again.”
Old Craven and Old Willsmith echoed from the side.
Little Dipper and Big Dipper’s men looked coldly at Old Willsmith and Old Craven, killing intent faintly.
appearing in their eyes.
If it weren’t for these two people, this matter wouldn’t have alarmed the President.
They hated Old Willsmith and Old Craven to the core.
At that moment, an excited voice sounded.
“Anna, is your name Anna?”
It was Mrs. Menter.
Mr. and Mr. Menter, and Elvis walked over at some point
Mr. and Mrs. Menter’s eyes were fixed on Anna. They did not look away and did not even blink.
When they heard how Alanna called Anna, they were even more excited.
Mrs. Menter could not help but ask.
Anna turned to look at Mrs. Menter. A member of Little Dipper quickly took the opportunity to leave and
went in to report to Isabella.
Mr. and Mrs. Menter looked at Anna excitedly. Their eyes were moist as they muttered, “You look too
much. alike…”
Old Willsmith’s eyes twitched.
“Old Menter, what’s wrong with you guys?”
He said unhappily, “Miss Lyons is the President’s envoy. If you have anything to say, say it in private.
Don’t delay official business.”
Old Menter glanced coldly at Old Willsmith and said, “Old Willsmith, don’t interrupt.”
Then, he said to Anna, “Child, who gave you your name?”
Anna looked at them in surprise and said, “It should be given to me by my adoptive father!”
“Adoptive father? Shouldn’t it be your parents?” Mrs. Menter’s eyes sparkled.
Old Willsmith’s face darkened.
Anna said, “He said that I was adopted by him from the orphanage.”
“An orphanage? Miss… Miss Anna, can we call you Anna? Can you tell us how old you are?” Mrs.
Menter asked repeatedly.
Anna looked at Grey with the corners of her eyes.
And then gave him a meaningful look.
Grey was stunned.
He could actually see the urge in Anna’s eyes. A bright light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Anna was
intentionally giving them time to deal with the current situation.
Without another word, Grey turned around and walked into the laboratory to discuss countermeasures
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith Isabella.
Anna said to the two elders, “I’m 24 years old this year. Who do you think I look like?”
Mr. and Mrs. Menter looked at each other and saw excitement in each other’s eyes. Even their ages
matched.
Mr. Menter suddenly said, “You look like your father.”
Anna was stunned.
Mr. Menter hurriedly explained, “I was presumptuous.”
He continued, “Our granddaughter has been missing for more than 20 years. Moreover, her name is also
Anna. How can there be such a coincidence in this world?”
Anna stared at them blankly.
Mrs. Menter quickly asked, “Anna, do you have a thumb-sized red sandalwood token on you? Your name
is engraved on it.”
Anna shook her head. “No.”
Mrs. Menter was stunned. “That’s impossible… Go back and ask the President. He must know about that
wooden token. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have coincidentally named you Anna.”
When they sent the child away, they might have had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, so they put a
wooden token on the child.
Anna was stunned for a moment before she shook her head and said, “You’re overthinking things. If
there was a wooden token, My adoptive father would have told me long ago. It’s impossible for him to
hide it.
“All of this should be a coincidence.”
“Old Menter, I know you’ve always wanted to make it up to that child. After all, you were the ones whol
secretly took the child away and lost the child.
“However, you can’t possibly suspect that she’s your granddaughter just because you see a similar
person, right?” said Old Wilismith.
He didn’t believe in such coincidences.
“But how can there be so many coincidences in the world…”
Old Menter looked at Anna, his eyes filled with nostalgia and regret.
Anna was stunned. She thought to herself, “It was actually these two elders who secretly took the child
away and lost him?”
