Chapter 446


    Patriarch Wheeler''s eyes lit up when he saw Mr. Chancely''s expression. The corners


    of his lips curled up mysteriously as he looked in the direction of Isabe and Yvette.


    In his opinion, whether it was Yvette or Isabe, they would not be able to escape as long as Mr. Chancely took a fancy to them.


    He would not let go of any opportunity to deal a blow to the Barker family and the


    Lockwood family.


    In fact, it would be a huge blow to the Lockwood family if Mr. Chancely could really


    take Isabe for himself. Inparison, Yvette would not be as important.


    Therefore,pared to Yvette, he was more willing to see Isabe be targeted by Mr.


    Chancely.


    There was a hint of coldness in Isabe''s eyes after she heard what Patriarch


    Wheeler and Mr. Chancely said.


    Those who knew her well knew that someone was going to be unlucky when she


    showed such a look.


    On the other hand, Yvette was so angry that her face turned red. However, she, who had been raised well since she was young, did not retort at all. She only held Isabe''s hand and said worriedly, "Isabe... Why don''t we... leave the gift behind


    and leave?"


    Erica''s expression changed when she heard what she said.


    Isabe smiled.


    She turned her head and looked at the girl beside her who was like an innocent rabbit.


    There was a smile in her cold eyes as she said, ''Silly girl, we''re already here. How can we leave just like that!''


    Erica immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes. Yvette, what are you saying? You''re already here. How can you just leave like that?


    ''Although the Barker family and the Wheeler family don''t have any dealings, you and Shelly are both juniors and of the same age. She invited you here out of goodwill. It''s not kind of you to leave just like that!"


    Yvette was speechless. Her expression was conflicted.


    Obviously, she could not do something so rude.


    Isabe nced at Erica and whispered into Yvette''s ear, Don''t be afraid. Hold my


    hand tightly and don''t leave my sight.


    Yvette was stunned. She looked at Isabe and Isabe and winked at her.


    Isabe''s eyes were filled with interest. It was like a stabilizing force that calmed Yvette''s uneasy heart.


    She straightened her expression and stood beside Isabe in a dignified manner. There was no trace of her previous uneasiness.


    Isabe smiled.


    Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, Erica heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled especially eagerly and said, "Yvette, Miss Thompson, I''ll bring you to meet the elders


    and esteemed guests first. Shelly is also there. I''ll bring you there."


    She reached out to pull Yvette as she spoke.


    At this moment, Michael walked over and grabbed Erica. His eyes were as cold as ice


    as he said in a deep voice, Erica!"


    Erica looked at him, and her expression instantly became iparably ugly. Michael pushed her away and turned around to block her. He said to Isabe and Yvette, "Miraculous Doctor, Miss Yvette, I''m sorry. Thank you foring to Shelly''s birthday banquet. Please leave after putting down your gifts. I still have some family


    matters to deal with.


    "I''ll definitelye and personally apologize another day.''


    Isabe looked at Michael with interest.


    Although she was not sure exactly why the Wheeler family had invited Yvette, she had


    a rough guess based on what Erica and Mr. Chancely had done so far.


    At this moment, Michael''s behavior made her even more certain of her guess.


    As expected, the Wheeler family did not invite Yvette here with good intentions. It was most likely rted to Mr. Chancely.


    At the thought of this, a trace of disgust shed across Isabe''s eyes. The Wheeler family''s n was really disgusting.


    However, Michael''s choice was beyond her expectations. It seemed that only the Wheeler family was stupid, while Michael was a sensible person.


    ''Michael, what do you mean? How can you chase them away? They were invited by Shelly.''


    Erica was flustered and exasperated. She ignored Michael''s reaction and forced her way forward. Michael was about to re up regardless of the asion to stop Erica


    from being stupid when Shelly walked over.


    "Yvette, I''m really happy that you''re here!"


    Shelly reached out and grabbed Yvette''s arm as if they were best friends.


    Shelly smiled, but her smile was a little stiff. She looked very unnatural.


    She looked in Isabe''s direction and said, "Isabe. Can I call you that like Yvette


    does?"


    Isabe smiled at her and said, No."Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    The stiff smile on Shelly''s face became even more rigid.


    Yvette looked at Isabe and then at Shelly. Suddenly, she burst outughing.


    Sheughed out loud and felt that she had been a little rude. She quickly lowered her


    head and held it in.


    "Shelly, go home with your mother. I''ll make it up to you with a birthday partyter," Michael said to Shelly.


    Shelly''s expression changed, and she looked at Michael awkwardly.


    Michael looked at her sternly and seriously. The father and daughter looked at each


    other, but after a while, Shelly turned her face away and pretended not to understand


    what Michael had said.


    She held Yvette''s hand and dragged her toward Mr. Chancely. "Yvette, Isabe, I''ll bring you there to y."


    Isabe and Yvette did not refuse and followed her.


    Michael''s eyes were filled with disbelief.


    He was shocked by Shelly''s reaction.


    Erica looked at Michael proudly and snorted. "Michael, even my daughter is better


    than you!"


    With that, she turned around and left smugly.


    Michael stood rooted to the ground in shock. His expression gradually twisted as he


    red fiercely at the Wheeler family.


    Denver met his gaze with a guilty look. He turned his head to avoid his gaze.


    Michael''s heart turned even colder.


    The Wheeler family had actually hidden all of this from him.


    Did they not trust him, or was there another reason?


    However, none of this was as big a blow to him as Shelly''s actions.


    Shelly brought Yvette and Isabe to Mr. Chancely. Up close, Mr. Chancely could not


    take his eyes off Isabe and Yvette.


    His pair of turbid eyes stared at them evilly, not even letting Shelly off.


    He could not help but p his hands and say,'' Mr. Wheeler, the juniors in your family


    are all top-notch, top-notch!"


    The expressions of Isabe and the other two changed at the same time.


    Shelly could sense that Mr. Chancely had not let her off the hook yet, so her face


    turned pale.


    Yvette, on the other hand, was disgusted and looked ufortable.


    Isabe did not hide the coldness on her face. She said icily, ''Sir, you''re also topnotch. A rare top-notch piece of work. I think that... you''re very disgusting!"


    Although Mr. Chancely''s ent was awkward, he clearly understood Lucsian very


    well. His expression could not help but darken when he heard what Isabe said. He


    was about to fly into a rage.


    Patriarch Wheeler''s expression changed when he saw this. Frieda shouted, "Isabe Thompson, you''re really uneducated. Who allowed you to talk to our esteemed guest like this? Apologize to Mr. Chancely now, or don''t even think about leaving the


    Wheeler family today!1''


    Mr. Chancely was about to get angry, but he could not help but look at Isabe calmly


    when he heard Frieda''s words.


    He knew that juniors were very obedient to their elders in Lucsia.


    The woman in front of him was so dazzlingly beautiful. It would be very fulfilling if he


    could conquer her.


    He was looking forward to the scene of such a beauty apologizing to him.


    The devilish expression reappeared on his face.


    Isabe nced at Frieda. She could not help but sneer when she was how mean


    and fierce she looked. She did not expect Frieda to be Manfred Barker''s sibling. They


    did not seem rted at all.


    Manfred was gentle and sophisticated. He was broad-minded and sincere. Meanwhile, Frieda simply made her understand what it meant when they said siblings


    hadpletely differing personalities.


    The same genes might not produce a child with the same character.


    Just then, a servant walked over with a ss of wine. Isabe casually took a ss.


    Frieda was satisfied. She snorted and waited for Isabe to apologize to Mr.


    Chancely.


    Isabe held the ss of red wine and twisted her wrist gently. She looked up and nced at Mr. Chancely and Frieda''s faces.


    Mr. Chancely''s eyes were filled with excitement. He even licked his lips arrogantly. Isabe sneered. She reached out and poured the wine in the cup over Frieda''s head.


    The entire banquet hall fell silent.


    Frieda, Patriarch Wheeler, and the rest of the Wheeler family were stunned.


    Seeing this, Mr. Chancely squinted slightly.


    Isabe smiled at the dumbfounded Frieda and said apologetically, "Ah, I''m sorry.


    Your words were too unpleasant. I was frightened and my hand slipped"


    She let go of her grip as she spoke.


    The empty wine ss fell from Frieda''s head and shattered at her feet.
