The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453

The person on the other end of the line remained silent for a moment before saying, ' Got it. Don't tell Wesley about this. I'll take care of it."

Draxton's phone had been on speaker mode, so when the President's voice sounded, everyone heard it clearly.

Patriarch Wheeler's face suddenly turned pale, a trace of panic flashing across his eyes.

Draxton hung up the phone and looked up at him, saying, "The Wheeler family will soon be nothing.’

Patriarch Wheeler's face became even paler.

Draxton turned to Isabella and said, "Bella, it's done. Let's go home.'

Isabella nodded and left with him.

Vernon and Harlow stood there. When meeting Draxton's gaze, Vernon nodded slightly and said, "Patriarch.'

Draxton nodded, without saying anything or looking at Harlow.

Harlow's expression was solemn. From the way Draxton treated Jerico, he already knew that the rumors about how ruthless Draxton was were true.

He did not say anything but watched Draxton leave with Vernon.

After Draxton and the others left, Patriarch Wheeler looked dejectedly at the mess in the hall.

However, when he saw Shelly standing not far away from Vernon, he got a plan.

He walked up to Vernon and said, Mr. Vernon, I didn't expect such a thing to happen today. I'm sorry for my negligence. How about I let Shelly take you upstairs for some coffee?”

Shelly looked shyly at Vernon and said, "Mr. Vernon and this mister, please come up with me."

Vernon immediately figured out what was on Patriarch Wheeler’s mind. In fact, his adoptive father, the person in charge of the Vernon Group, had the same thought.

Vernon never went against his adoptive father's wishes. However, when he thought of the phone call Draxton had just made to the President, he believed that he had enough reasons not to marry someone from the Wheeler family.

If the Wheeler family lost the President's favor, it would be meaningless to connect them by marriage.

What's more, the Wheeler family was cooperating with the Chancely family. They were so greedy that they wanted to get benefits from both sides. It seemed like they were biting off more than they could chew.

Vernor sneered. Instead of going upstairs with Shelly, he said to Patriarch Wheeler, Jerico has been provoking the Vernon Group ever since he came to Lucsia. Two days ago, my subordinates from Star Society were attacked by his men, and a dozen of them were killed or injured. I'm here to get even with him today.

' But now that Jerico is already so miserable, I'll just let it go. Mr. Wheeler, be smart. Don't bite more than you can chew.'

After saying that coldly, Vernor turned to leave without even looking back.
