The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 460

Chapter 460

Erica and Shelly left the bedroom to get the medicine box. Distracted, Shelly whispered uneasily, "Mom, should I call Dad?"

Erica suddenly turned to her and said in a high-pitched voice, "No, you can't!’

Seeing Shelly taken aback, Erica calmed down and pulled her aside, whispering, Don't call your dad. He doesn't want the Wheeler family to cooperate with Mr. Chancely. What if he ruins our plan?

"Shelly, you don't understand. Now, the Wheeler family doesn't have an option other than working with Mr. Chancely. Don't listen to your dad, or you'll destroy the Wheeler family."

At the mention of this, Erica let out a sigh. "Shelly, your dad... After all, he’s not a Wheeler. Although he means no harm, he's unlikely to put himself in the Wheelers' shoes.

"As long as the Wheeler family wanted to rise and surpass the Lockwood family, it would have to take some risks. If such a thing happened to the Flouder family, your dad would make the same choice as we did.

"Alright, Shelly, go to sleep. Lock the door. As long as you don't show up in front of Mr. Chancely, he won't do anything to you. He's still counting on your grandpa to help him return to Southeast Aelinne."

Shelly looked at Erica in a daze and asked, "Mom, Dad is one of us. Why don't you trust him?"

"It's not that I don’t trust him, but it's we have different positions. Only the Wheelers will fight for what they want. Your dad doesn't care what the Wheeler family wants."

Shelly's face turned gloomy. She returned to her room in a daze and locked the door.

Sitting on the bed, she hugged herself tightly and stared blankly ahead, feeling confused and torn.

When Jerico saw that only Erica came back with the medicine box, a fierce look flashed across his eyes, making him look like a wild beast. He kept talking to Patriarch Wheeler and Frieda while his subordinates were treating his wound.

"My injuries are serious, and I need to rest and eat, so I won't leave tonight. You guys can figure out a way to send me away tomorrow morning," Jerico said.

Needless to say, Patriarch Wheeler had no objections. He asked Erica to prepare rooms for Jerico and his men.

Erica prepared three guest rooms, but Jerico decided to share the same room with his two subordinates.

If the Wheeler family was smart, they would be able to figure out why he was doing so.

But they did not give it much thought.

Jerico's life was filled with killing and blood. Now that he was being hunted down by the Lockwood family, he did not feel safe at all. Although he knew that the Wheeler family would not harm him, he did not trust them completely.

Therefore, he preferred to rest in the same room with his two subordinates. I

But that was only one of the reasons.

Another reason was...

"Sir, is the Wheeler family looking down on us? They agreed to cooperate with us, but they don't want you to have that girl. Do they think you're not worthy of her?*

"Sir, if it weren't for the Wheeler family, we wouldn't have provoked Draxton."

Another subordinate said angrily in response to his companion's words.

Jerico, who had just had something to eat, was now lying against the head of the bed in a bathrobe with his eyes narrowed slightly. Having been on the run for a whole day, he looked a little tired.

"Sir, we should teach them some manners!"

The two subordinates said angrily with a ferocious look.

They had never been in such an awkward state before.

Jerico chuckled. "Teach them some manners? Aren't you tired? Anyway, I'm exhausted. Go to sleep first. Let's teach them some manners when we wake up. Do you think only you two felt offended?"

The two subordinates immediately understood what he meant.

They looked at each other. Seeing that Jerico was indeed very tired, they did not say anything else.

Jerico closed his eyes and fell asleep.
