Chapter 445


    Erica winced in pain as Michael continued to tighten his grip on her wrist.


    ''Michael, let go of me. You''re hurting me. Ow." She shook him hard, and Michael let go of her.


    The next moment, Michael stared at her and said in a deep voice, "Erica, listen carefully. You can''t touch the Barker family.


    Bring Shelly here and take her away from the Wheeler family. I''ll handle the rest!"


    Erica could not take it anymore. She looked at him in disbelief and said, Michael, what are you talking about? Today is Shelly''s birthday banquet. You''re asking me to take Shelly away. Isn''t that a joke!" "It''s just a birthday banquet. Is it more important than her life?" Michael said in a low voice.


    Erica said, Michael, what are you talking about? Is this a situation of life and death? How is this rted to her life?"


    Michael stared at her and said, ''The Wheeler and Flouder families will suffer together if we touch the Barker family. Do you think the Lockwood family''s protectiveness is a joke?


    ''Hehl''


    Erica sneered. She stared at Michael, her gaze indignant. "The Lockwood family. It''s the Lockwood family again. What''s so great about the Lockwood family?


    ''Michael, you''re good at everything, but you don''t have courage. Because of that, the Flouder family can only stay in Maestria forever. On the other hand, the Lockwood family is the number one family in Lucsia. You''ll never be able topare to Philip Lockwood!


    ''However, as long as you dare to do stuff, it''ll be possible for you to surpass the Lockwood family. Doesn''t the President dislike the Lockwood family? What are you afraid of?"


    ''Erica, you..." Michael widened his eyes and looked at Erica in shock and anger.


    Erica snorted coldly and said, "Fine, you don''t dare to do it, but you can''t stop the Wheeler family from doing it.


    "Dad and Denver are already working with Mr. Chancely. Mr. Chancely is the heir of the Chancely family in Southeast Aelinne, and the Chancely family is one of the top forces in Southeast Aelinne. Do you think they will be afraid of the Lockwood family?"


    The veins on Michael''s forehead throbbed. He could not believe that Erica could say such a thing.


    "Erica, do you have a brain? Do you know that you''ve already implicated Shelly?


    ''Do you think that Mr. Chancely is a fool who will let Shelly off just because he has Yvette?


    "What are you guys thinking? Are you too overconfident in your intelligence, or do you think that Mr. Chancely is a fool?"


    Erica opened her mouth and was about to say something when there was amotion at the door. They immediately looked up and saw a group of people walking in.


    The people in front were Isabe and Yvette. Behind them were the seven members of Big Dipper.


    The lively banquet hall instantly fell silent.


    Mr. Chancely, who was arguing with Denver and trying to get closer to Shelly, also looked over.


    His eyes could not help but sh with surprise when he got a clear look at Isabe and Yvette.


    His long and narrow fox-like eyes widened slightly, and the light in his eyes carried a turbid aura. His stare made people feel especially ufortable.


    In particr, there was a certain covetous look in his eyes.


    Erica heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yvette. She ignored Michael''s obstruction, pushed him away, and walked toward Yvette excitedly.


    Patriarch Wheeler and Frieda also looked in the direction of Yvette and Isabe. Of course, their attention was mainly on Isabe.


    "Could that be Draxton Lockwood''s wife? The legendary Miraculous Doctor?"


    Patriarch Wheeler murmured.


    Frieda stared at Isabe with a sharp gaze and sneered. "You''re quite pretty."


    At this moment, Denver''s expression changed when he saw Isabe. At the same time, Michael''s expression also changed. He quickly chased after Erica.


    However, Erica had already walked to Isabe and Yvette''s side. She held Yvette''s hand without asking any questions.


    Yvette and Erica were not familiar with each other, to begin with. They had only met asionally at events in the past. Erica''s current enthusiasm and holding her hand gave her goosebumps. Yvette''s body tensed up.


    She pulled her hand back ufortably. Unexpectedly, Erica seemed to be afraid that she would run away. She grabbed onto her very tightly, but she could not break free.


    Yvette could not help but panic. "Mrs. Flouder, please let go of me first."


    Erica paused for a moment. She sized Yvette up and realized that she was much prettier than she had imagined. Although she did not want to admit it, Yvette was prettier than her daughter.


    Although Erica was a little displeased, she heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Yvette was so beautiful. She would definitely be able to charm Mr. Chancely, right? It had nothing to do with the Wheeler family if Mr. Chancely took a fancy to Yvette.


    If there was anyone to me, it would be Yvette''s charming little face!


    As for Isabe, she could not help but squint and stare at Erica for a while when she saw how enthusiastic Erica was. Her dark and sharp gazended on Erica''s face like a knife.


    Erica was very anxious now. She wanted to drag Yvette to meet Mr. Chancely, but


    Isabe''s gaze made her scalp tingle. She had no choice but to restrain herself and speak to Isabe. "May I know who you are?"


    Isabe nced at her and suddenly reached out. Without a word, she pulled her hand away from Yvette''s arm.


    "Madam, it''s rather rude of you to hold Yvette like this!" Isabe said as she pulled Yvette behind her.


    She looked at Erica with a faint smile. Erica''s expression immediately turned ugly. She could not hold it in anymore and looked at Isabe angrily.


    "How dare you!''


    Suddenly, a shout rang out, and the hall fell silent again. Everyone looked up and saw Frieda''s sharp eyes staring at Isabe.


    "How dare a junior speak to an elder like this? Where are your manners?"


    Frieda stared at Isabe with a fierce and dignified aura. An ordinary woman would probably have been intimidated by her domineering gaze. However, Isabe onlyughed mockingly.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    "Madam, my manners are only given to people who know how to treat guests. What do you think?"


    She smiled slightly mockingly. Her smile made Frieda turn green and she became even more furious.


    "You''re Isabe Thompson, right?" Frieda extended her right hand and pointed her index finger at Isabe.


    Isabe tilted her head and said pertinently, "Madam, you look really ugly now. You look very imposing. If you don''t believe me, why don''t you get someone to bring a mirror over to have a look? "Perhaps you don''t even know what you look like?"


    "Miraculous Doctor, you have a sharp tongue. You sure do not mince your words. I wonder if your medical skills are as nimble as your mouth!"


    Patriarch Wheeler spoke.


    Without waiting for Isabe to speak, he turned to Mr. Chancely and said, "Mr. Chancely, I''m sorry for making a fool of myself. These two are our juniors."


    Mr. Chancely smiled and shook his head. He said in awkward Lucsian, "It''s okay. These twodies are very beautiful. They surprised me!"
