Chapter 459
Michael closed his eyes and said, “I know, Dad.”
After a pause, he continued, “Dad, Mom, listen, if I’m not wrong, Jerico can’t escape
from Maestria at all. The Lockwood family is so powerful that no one can escape their
hunting in Lucsia.
‘ Jerico also knows this, so he’s very likely to come back to our house to seek your
help.1′
Patriarch Wheeler, Frieda, and even Erica’s eyes lit up at the same time.
On the contrary, Michael’s eyes darkened. “Jerico is a murderer who might do
anything crazy. It was because of the Wheeler family that he ended up so miserable.
So, if he really comes to us, you’d better contain him and hand him over to the
Barkers to ease the tension between the two families.
“I know what you’re thinking. You still want to befriend him, but I think cooperating with
him is like asking a tiger for its skin. It won’t end well.
“If you don’t want the Wheeler family to fall, do as I say.”
Patriarch Wheeler and Frieda remained silent.
Michael continued, “Dad, Mom, you’d better remember my words. Otherwise, you
can’t afford the consequences.”
Michael had no idea if they would take his words to heart, but he could do nothing
about it even if they did not listen to him.
He had done his best to convince them. Anyway, he could not lock the Wheelers up to
keep them from getting in touch with Jerico.
There were some things that he could not help with even if he wanted to. He only
hoped that they would take his warning seriously.
Patriarch Wheeler said,’ Michael, we know what you mean. Don’t worry, we know
what to do.”
Hearing that, Michael knew that there was no way he could change their minds, so he
stopped trying to convince them and said, ‘ Dad, Mom, take a good rest. I still have
something to deal with. I’m leaving,”
Patriarch Wheeler nodded. “Go ahead.’
Michael looked in Shelly’s direction and said, Shelly, come with me. I have something
to tell you.”
Shelly looked at Erica before she got up and followed Michael out.
The father and daughter went to the living room. As there was no one around and
Michael remained silent, Shelly felt very uneasy. She couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, what
do you want to talk to me about?”
Michael turned to her and sized her up for a while. His daughter had half of his
features and half of Erica’s. Thinking of this, he looked at Shelly with loving eyes and
said gently, Shelly, I want you to go back to the Flouder family’s house. The Wheeler
family is now in trouble. I’m afraid it’s not safe for you to stay here.”
Shelly widened her eyes and said in disbelief, “Dad, it’s because something happened
to the Wheeler family that I should stay. Grandpa and
Grandma are both sick. Uncle and Yax are busy with our family business. Mom and
Aunt can’t take care of them at all.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to go back to the Flouder family’s house at this
time.’
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. The current situation is special. They won’t
blame you even if you leave.
“Think about it. What if Jerico really comes back and sees you?”
When Shelly heard this, she was taken aback and her face turned pale. ‘Dad, that
won’t happen. He’s racking his brain to get away from being hunted. How can he be in
the mood to do anything else?”
“Anyway, listen to me and go back to the Flouder family’s house with me. I’ll come
here tomorrow morning to take care of your grandparents.
