Isabella and Draxton were right. Jerico did not escape at all because there was no way he could leave
Lucsia. No one could escape the Lockwood family’s hunting in Lucsia unless there was a miracle.
When Draxton offered to play the game, he did not mean to let Jerico go. He just wanted to tease him,
get back at him, and torture him.
Jerico found a place to hide and let his subordinates distract the Lockwood family’s men. Even so, he
had a hard time the whole day.
Late at night, he returned to the Wheeler family’s residence under the escort of his two subordinates.
In the dark, a few North Star members were watching coldly without alarming Jerico.
Frieda and Patriarch Wheeler were in low spirits the whole day. They were dealt with a heavy blow
after they made a scene at the Barker family’s house this morning. Frieda felt even worse than
Patriarch Wheeler. She was so angry that she fell ill after returning home.
In the afternoon, the Wheeler family suddenly received a piece of grievous news. The Barker family
announced that they would refuse to cooperate with anyone who had business collaborations with the
Wheeler family in the future.
In addition to this, the news of the President abandoning the Wheeler family got out.
The Wheeler family’s business partners became hesitant.
There were also people who didn’t believe that the Wheeler family would be taken down with the
support of the Flouder family, so they had no plan to terminate the cooperation with them.
However, most people were smart and conservative, unwilling to take any risks. After their partners
terminated or delayed their cooperation with them one by one, the Wheeler family’s huge business
empire stopped working and things became really tough.
Patriarch Wheeler was so angry and worried that he fainted immediately at the news. Fortunately, the
Wheeler family still had Denver and Yax dealing with the hassle.
Later, Michael joined them.
The three of them temporarily kept the family from falling.
Even so, the Wheelers are in a difficult situation. If they wanted their business to return to normal, they
had to make the Barker family take back their words. But how was that possible?
Patriarch Wheeler’s heart sank when he recalled the heartless words Manfred said this morning.
Frieda was now lying on the bed feebly with a pale face. She muttered in disbelief, ‘
How could he treat me like that? How could he treat me like that…”
Erica looked at her parents and said guiltily, Dad, Mom, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t brought Shelly over
that day, Mr. Chancely wouldn’t have taken a fancy to her. Then we wouldn’t have made Yvette here to
protect Shelly, and we wouldn’t have gotten into so much trouble…”
At the mention of this, Frieda grew even angrier. She said, gritting her teeth, Manfred is so vicious. He
wants me to die!
‘Aren’t Isabella and Yvette fine? Why would he still want to corner us?”
She covered her chest and panted painfully, sweat popping out on her forehead.
Erica immediately wiped her sweat away with a handkerchief.
Shelly comforted Frieda, ‘Grandma, don’t be angry. Rest for some time. We’ll discuss it and figure out a
way when you recover.
“How about I go apologize to Yvette and ask her to let us off tomorrow?’
‘ You silly girl, you can’t handle this matter. Yvette doesn’t have the final say,” Frieda said.
Shelly’s eyes reddened as she bit her lip uneasily.
Michael pushed the door open and walked in. Sensing the solemn atmosphere in the room, his face
turned even gloomier.
“Michael, why are you back? How’s the company?” Erica hurriedly got up and walk up to him when she
saw him come in.
Michael sighed and said, “It’s fine for the time being, but it won’t last long. If we can’t figure out a way
tomorrow, it’ll be dangerous.”
“Then why did you come back?” Erica was so worried that tears sprang into her eyes.
Michael looked at her for quite a while before he answered, “It’s useless for me to stay there. Denver
and Yax can handle it.’
Erica nodded.
Michael lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes.
Actually, it was Denver who let him back. He thought it might be because Denver did not want him to
know some of the Wheeler family’s secrets.
At this time, everyone in the family should work together.
However, Denver’s actions made him suddenly realize that he was not a Wheeler.
He treated the Wheelers as his family, but they might only see him as an outsider.
Although he understood that Denver had a reason to do so, he felt hurt emotionally.
Erica did not notice anything wrong. She asked, crying, “Michael, what should we do?
Is there really no room for negotiation with the President?”
Patriarch Wheeler and Frieda also looked at Micahel expectantly.
Michael turned to them and said, “Dad, Mom, you’ve really done something wrong this time. You
shouldn’t have gotten involved with the underworld forces from Southeast Aelinne. To make matters
worse, you offended the Barker family and the Lockwood family.
The President had once targeted the Lockwood family, but Draxton was not defeated and became even
more powerful. It looks like the President has taken advantage of the Lockwood family, but actually, he
can do nothing to them anymore. Other than that, he has to make friends with them.
‘ President was just looking for a chance to express goodwill to maintain his friendly relationship with
the Lockwood family when you guys offended them.’
Patriarch Wheeler instantly wised up and widened his eyes. “So, the Wheeler family has become a tool
for the President to please the
Lockwood family?
“How could the President do this? He’s the president. How could he be afraid of the
Lockwood family? Even though the Lockwood family is very competent, the President has taken a lot of
their power away. Why would he still be afraid of them?”
Michael frowned slightly. He thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps it has something to do with
Mystical Island. Dominic and the others said that Draxton was cooperating with Mystical Island.
They’ve controlled something that even the President is afraid of.
“In addition, what the President took away from the Lockwood family is some of their underground
forces. As for their decent businesses, the North Star Group has long infiltrated all the major fields in
this country and abroad. Even the most powerful people overseas don’t dare to provoke such a
business giant, not to mention the President.’
Patriarch Wheeler became listless instantly, looking in despair.
Frieda panted heavily a few times and was almost out of breath. She said resentfully,
The Lockwood family… The damned Lockwood family… God, why did you make such a family the
Barker’s in-laws? It’s unfair!’
As she spoke, tears of resentment rolled down her face. She looked at Erica and could not help but
reprimand, “You’re useless. If you made Philip your husband, we would have become the Lockwoods’
in-laws…’
‘ Mom!” Erica hurriedly interrupted her and looked guiltily at Michael.
She said in a trembling voice, “Michael, Mom didn’t mean it. She was just too angry…”
Michael stood rooted to the ground in silence.
Only then did Frieda realize that she had just said something wrong and immediately stopped talking.
The room fell into an awkward silence.
Patriarch Wheeler heard no response from Michael, nor could he see the look on his face clearly. He
became anxious and hurriedly said, “Michael, you should know your mother well. Don’t take her words
to heart. That’s all in the past”
