The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477

Erica's eyes turned red as if someone had touched her sore spot. She shouted, "Michael, you've finally spoken the truth. You really think I'm the one who has caused Shelly to suffer.

"Can't you reflect on yourself? If it weren't for your incompetence, why would the Wheeler family fight for the chance to overwhelm the Lockwood family?"

Michael took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He questioned coldly, "All these years, you've been talking about suppressing the Lockwood family. In your heart, I can never compare to Philip? Do you care about him that much?"

Michael's cold eyes stunned Erica. She had never seen Michael speak to her so coldly, nor had she ever heard such a question from Michael.

"Are you yelling at me?’ Tears welled up in Erica's eyes as if she had been wronged.

Michael looked at her deeply. After a moment, he turned around and walked out without saying a word.

Erica was taken aback.

Michael could not bear to see her cry. In the past, he would not let her cry, but this time...

' Michael, you really blame me. How can you treat me like this!' Erica cried at the top of her voice.

Michael strode out, his eyes glistening with tears.

He should be the one feeling wronged.

After all these years, Erica never stopped comparing him to Philip, and he had every reason to feel wronged.

Michael had an extraordinary family background and a successful career. Why did Erica have to compare him to Philip? However, in Erica’s heart, he was not as good as Philip no matter what he did.

Who was the one who should be wronged?

"Dad." Someone called him from the front. Michael looked up and saw Shelly standing there in her hospital gown.

With a pale face, she stood there looking at him, thin and small.

Michael froze. He went forward and asked, ‘Why did you come out?"

Shelly asked, 'Mom is hospitalized too? What happened to her?

Michael said, "She's not calm now. You can visit her later."

Shelly followed Michael back and asked, "Dad, did my mom do something?"

Michael did not hide it from her. He told her about how Erica went to harm Yvette and was retaliated against by the Star Society.

Shelly was silent for a moment. Then, she said with a bitter smile, My mother's personality is exactly the same as Grandma's.

They always felt that it was someone else's fault, but they never reflected on themselves.

"In fact, I used to think that mom had her own difficulties, but... now I realize that she got herself tied by many things.

"Grandma had been pampered by grandpa for her entire life. She set her mind on suppressing the Barker family at the beginning. Later, she wanted to suppress the Lockwood family. My mother is the same. She's always wanted to beat Jeanne.

"Dad, are you tired of being with her?"

Michael was slightly stunned. Tired? He must be tired.

He smiled and said, "Shelly, take care of your health. Don't worry about these things."

Shelly didn't continue the topic. "Dad, I want to be discharged. I don't want to stay in the hospital. It's too boring here."

"I knew it... You didn't like to come to the hospital when you were young. How about staying here for a few more days?" Michael said.

Shelly recalled when her father sent her to the hospital every time she was sick when she was young. She would cry to make her father drop the idea, as the thought of getting injections, taking medicine, and seeing the doctor would terrify her.

Shelly smiled and said, "Alright, I'll stay for a few more days. After all, I'm not a child anymore."

Michael reached out and patted her shoulder. "Yes, my daughter has indeed grown up."

"Dad, when I'm discharged from the hospital, I want to work in our company," Shelly said.

Michael looked at her in surprise. "Didn't you say that you'd wait for two more years before getting a job?’

"Haven't I already grown up? I've been living a carefree life for more than twenty years. That's enough. I'll help you in the future."

Shelly smiled.

Michael had mixed feelings. He was gratified, but also sad.

This incident really made Shelly grow overnight.
