The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 454

Chapter 454

Michael held Patriarch Wheeler's hand and comforted him, Dad, relax. You may fall ill from worrying too much. I'm going to the Barker family's house now and apologize to them so that they won't target the Wheeler family again..."

"I'm not dead yet!" At this moment, Frieda's faint voice sounded.

Patriarch Wheeler and Michael turned around, only to find that Frieda had just woken up and overheard their conversation. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

Erica supported Frieda, who was struggling to sit up. Frieda stared fiercely at Michael and Patriarch Wheeler, saying angrily, "Don't beg them! I'm not dead yet. As long as I'm still alive, I won't allow the Wheeler family to bow down to the Barker family.

"How dare they treat us like this?! I won't show mercy this time!"

Michael's face darkened, but he still patiently pursued, "Mom, leave this to me. You've just woken up. Go get some rest.’

Frieda said, No hurry. Let's take some rest today. Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the Barker family's house and ask them to explain it!’

Michael didn't seem to agree with her. Frieda glanced at him and said, "Michael, leave it to me. I know what to do."

Michael was even more worried. After a short silence, he questioned, "Dad, Mom, why are you working with Jerico and hiding this from me?"

Patriarch Wheeler felt a bit uneasy. He kept it from Michael because he thought Michael was too conservative. If he told Michael about this, he might not agree with him and ruin his plans.

He did so also for the benefit of the Wheeler family. After all, the Flouder family was quite competitive. What if Jerico changed his mind and cooperated with the Flouder family?

' Michael, I'll explain it to you in the future. Let's solve our current problem first.

Michael, the President only said that he no longer trusted the Wheeler family, but he didn't say that he lost faith in the Flouder family. Why don't you go talk to him? If you put in a good word for us with the President, perhaps he will change his mind for the sake that you're my daughter-in-law."

Michael was a bit disheartened.

How could he not know what Patriarch Wheeler was thinking?

When he married Erica back then, he knew that she liked Philip, but he didn't care. He believe as long as he treated her well, Erica would feel it and fall in love with him one day.

Because he loved her, he also loved the Wheeler family.

But now, he was very disappointed.

All these years, he had been treating the Wheelers as family and had never kept anything from them. What's more, he would put the Wheeler family’s benefits into consideration before he made any decisions.

But the Wheeler family...

Michael found it a bit ridiculous.

He lowered his head slightly to hide the disappointment in his eyes and said, "Don't worry. I'll talk to the President."

Patriarch Wheeler nodded in relief and patted the back of Michael's hand, saying, "Luckily, I still have you!"

Michael said, "Dad, I'll go back to the Flouder's house first. Erica and Shelly will stay here to take care of you and Mom. And Denver..."

Denver was still lying on the floor, unconscious.

'Alright, go ahead," Patriarch Wheeler said.

When Draxton took Isabella and Yvette back to the Barker family's house, Patriarch Barker and the others hadn't gone to sleep yet. When they saw them return, they heaved a sigh of relief.

Madame Barker and Megan walked up to them and asked worriedly, "Bella, Yvette, are you alright?’

Yvette immediately shook her head. ’Grandma, Mom, we're fine. Don't worry."

Isabella also said, "We're fine. Draxton arrived just in time."

Madame Barker stepped forward to support her and said, "If I had known that the Wheelers were up to no good, I wouldn't have let you and Yvette go. Fortunately, both of you are fine. Otherwise, I would regret it for the rest of my life."

Madame Barker felt lingering fear as she spoke.

Patriarch Barker, who was sitting on the sofa with a solemn expression, said, "Draxton, come here."

Draxton walked over and sat down. Patriarch Barker asked, "Draxton, tell me what happened today."

Draxton pondered for a while before he told him the whole story in detail.

"The Wheeler family colluded with the Chancely family. I don't know what kind of agreement they reached, but it's definitely about something dirty.

"Jerico seemed to take a fancy to Patriarch Wheeler's granddaughter. To divert his attention, the Wheeler family invited Yvette to their home. If Bella had not gone with Yvette today, I don't dare imagine what would happen.

"Fortunately, Bella was smart and tough. Otherwise..."

Draxton was full of anger at the mention of this.
