Chapter 446
Patriarch Wheeler’s eyes lit up when he saw Mr. Chancely’s expression. The corners
of his lips curled up mysteriously as he looked in the direction of Isabella and Yvette.
In his opinion, whether it was Yvette or Isabella, they would not be able to escape as
long as Mr. Chancely took a fancy to them.
He would not let go of any opportunity to deal a blow to the Barker family and the
Lockwood family.
In fact, it would be a huge blow to the Lockwood family if Mr. Chancely could really
take Isabella for himself. In comparison, Yvette would not be as important.
Therefore, compared to Yvette, he was more willing to see Isabella be targeted by Mr.
Chancely.
There was a hint of coldness in Isabella’s eyes after she heard what Patriarch
Wheeler and Mr. Chancely said.
Those who knew her well knew that someone was going to be unlucky when she
showed such a look.
On the other hand, Yvette was so angry that her face turned red. However, she, who
had been raised well since she was young, did not retort at all. She only held
Isabella’s hand and said worriedly, “Isabella… Why don’t we… leave the gift behind
and leave?”
Erica’s expression changed when she heard what she said.
Isabella smiled.
She turned her head and looked at the girl beside her who was like an innocent rabbit.
There was a smile in her cold eyes as she said, ‘Silly girl, we’re already here. How
can we leave just like that!’
Erica immediately said, “Yes, yes, yes. Yvette, what are you saying? You’re already
here. How can you just leave like that?
‘ Although the Barker family and the Wheeler family don’t have any dealings, you and
Shelly are both juniors and of the same age. She invited you here out of goodwill. It’s
not kind of you to leave just like that!”
Yvette was speechless. Her expression was conflicted.
Obviously, she could not do something so rude.
Isabella glanced at Erica and whispered into Yvette’s ear, Don’t be afraid. Hold my
hand tightly and don’t leave my sight.
Yvette was stunned. She looked at Isabella and Isabella and winked at her.
Isabella’s eyes were filled with interest. It was like a stabilizing force that calmed
Yvette’s uneasy heart.
She straightened her expression and stood beside Isabella in a dignified manner.
There was no trace of her previous uneasiness.
Isabella smiled.
Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, Erica heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled
especially eagerly and said, “Yvette, Miss Thompson, I’ll bring you to meet the elders
and esteemed guests first. Shelly is also there. I’ll bring you there.”
She reached out to pull Yvette as she spoke.
At this moment, Michael walked over and grabbed Erica. His eyes were as cold as ice
as he said in a deep voice, ‘ Erica!”
Erica looked at him, and her expression instantly became incomparably ugly.
Michael pushed her away and turned around to block her. He said to Isabella and
Yvette, “Miraculous Doctor, Miss Yvette, I’m sorry. Thank you for coming to Shelly’s
birthday banquet. Please leave after putting down your gifts. I still have some family
matters to deal with.
“I’ll definitely come and personally apologize another day.’
Isabella looked at Michael with interest.
Although she was not sure exactly why the Wheeler family had invited Yvette, she had
a rough guess based on what Erica and Mr. Chancely had done so far.
At this moment, Michael’s behavior made her even more certain of her guess.
As expected, the Wheeler family did not invite Yvette here with good intentions. It was
most likely related to Mr. Chancely.
At the thought of this, a trace of disgust flashed across Isabella’s eyes. The Wheeler
family’s plan was really disgusting.
However, Michael’s choice was beyond her expectations. It seemed that only the
Wheeler family was stupid, while Michael was a sensible person.
‘ Michael, what do you mean? How can you chase them away? They were invited by
Shelly.’
Erica was flustered and exasperated. She ignored Michael’s reaction and forced her
way forward. Michael was about to flare up regardless of the occasion to stop Erica
from being stupid when Shelly walked over.
“Yvette, I’m really happy that you’re here!”
Shelly reached out and grabbed Yvette’s arm as if they were best friends.
Shelly smiled, but her smile was a little stiff. She looked very unnatural.
She looked in Isabella’s direction and said, “Isabella. Can I call you that like Yvette
does?”
