Chapter 459


    Michael closed his eyes and said, "I know, Dad."


    After a pause, he continued, "Dad, Mom, listen, if I''m not wrong, Jerico can''t escape


    from Maestria at all. The Lockwood family is so powerful that no one can escape their hunting in Lucsia.


    Jerico also knows this, so he''s very likely toe back to our house to seek your


    help.1''


    Patriarch Wheeler, Frieda, and even Erica''s eyes lit up at the same time.


    On the contrary, Michael''s eyes darkened. "Jerico is a murderer who might do


    anything crazy. It was because of the Wheeler family that he ended up so miserable.


    So, if he reallyes to us, you''d better contain him and hand him over to the


    Barkers to ease the tension between the two families.


    "I know what you''re thinking. You still want to befriend him, but I think cooperating withThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    him is like asking a tiger for its skin. It won''t end well.


    "If you don''t want the Wheeler family to fall, do as I say."


    Patriarch Wheeler and Frieda remained silent.


    Michael continued, "Dad, Mom, you''d better remember my words. Otherwise, you


    can''t afford the consequences."


    Michael had no idea if they would take his words to heart, but he could do nothing about it even if they did not listen to him.


    He had done his best to convince them. Anyway, he could not lock the Wheelers up to keep them from getting in touch with Jerico.


    There were some things that he could not help with even if he wanted to. He only


    hoped that they would take his warning seriously.


    Patriarch Wheeler said,'' Michael, we know what you mean. Don''t worry, we know


    what to do."


    Hearing that, Michael knew that there was no way he could change their minds, so he stopped trying to convince them and said, '' Dad, Mom, take a good rest. I still have


    something to deal with. I''m leaving,"


    Patriarch Wheeler nodded. "Go ahead.''


    Michael looked in Shelly''s direction and said, Shelly,e with me. I have something


    to tell you."


    Shelly looked at Erica before she got up and followed Michael out.


    The father and daughter went to the living room. As there was no one around and


    Michael remained silent, Shelly felt very uneasy. She couldn''t help but ask, "Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"


    Michael turned to her and sized her up for a while. His daughter had half of his features and half of Erica''s. Thinking of this, he looked at Shelly with loving eyes and said gently, Shelly, I want you to go back to the Flouder family''s house. The Wheeler family is now in trouble. I''m afraid it''s not safe for you to stay here."


    Shelly widened her eyes and said in disbelief, "Dad, it''s because something happened to the Wheeler family that I should stay. Grandpa and


    Grandma are both sick. Uncle and Yax are busy with our family business. Mom and


    Aunt can''t take care of them at all.


    "I don''t think it''s appropriate for me to go back to the Flouder family''s house at this


    time.''


    "There''s nothing inappropriate about it. The current situation is special. They won''t me you even if you leave.


    "Think about it. What if Jerico reallyes back and sees you?"


    When Shelly heard this, she was taken aback and her face turned pale. ''Dad, that


    won''t happen. He''s racking his brain to get away from being hunted. How can he be in the mood to do anything else?"


    "Anyway, listen to me and go back to the Flouder family''s house with me. I''lle here tomorrow morning to take care of your grandparents.


    They''ll be fine even without you around.''


    Michael said in a firm tone.


    Shelly still shook her head and said stubbornly, "Dad, I know you''re doing this for my own good, but it''s because Grandpa and Grandma were trying to protect me that they tricked Yvette toe over. They dote on me very much. I really don''t want to leave. I


    want to be with them."


    "Shelly!"


    Michael raised his voice with a stern look.


    Shelly took a step back warily and stared at him. "Dad, you don''t have to say anything more. I won''t go back."


    ''Michael!'' Erica''s voice came from the stairs.


    Michael looked at her. Erica''s face was a little pale and there was a flicker of mncholy in her eyes. "Michael, why did you ask Shelly to leave? Is it because of what Mom said just now?"


    "No..."


    Michael felt a little depressed. He took a deep breath and looked at Shelly, who was staring at him warily, then at his wife, who looked hurt. Realizing that he could not change their minds, he was suddenly overwhelmed with sadness.


    ''Alright. Since you''re not going back, just stay here. But, if Jerico reallyes over,


    you must call me immediately. You hear me?"


    Michael lowered his voice and said to Shelly, looking into her eyes.


    Shelly nodded vigorously.


    Michael heaved a sigh of relief and left without looking at Erica.


    ''Shelly, what did your dad say to you?" After Michael left. Erica waved at Shelly and


    asked.


    Shelly said, "Mom, Dad seems to be very certain that Mr. Chancely wille back. Do you think the same way? Mom, I''m a little scared.''


    Erica held her hand and said, "Don''t think too much. Mr. Chancely is trying to run away now. How can he be in the mood to think about anything else? Don''t be afraid. Let''s go check out your grandparents again before we go to bed."


    The mother and daughter walked towards the master bedroom together. However, as soon as they pushed open the door, they saw three uninvited guests in the quiet


    room.


    It was none other than Jerico and his two subordinates.


    "Ah!" Shelly couldn''t help but let out a cry as she looked at Jerico in horror.


    Jerico and his two subordinates also looked at them. Shelly could not tell what Jerico


    was thinking from his expression, but the sinister grins on the faces of his


    subordinates sent a chill down her spine.


    Shelly turned pale and she couldn''t help but hide behind Erica.


    Patriarch Wheeler said, What''s wrong with you? Mr. Chancely is here to discuss the


    coboration with us!''


    Erica calmed herself down and forced a smile. "Mr. Chancely, I''m sorry. Shelly is young and ignorant. Please don''t be mad at her."


    Jerico nodded gently without paying much attention to Shelly. He then turned to


    Patriarch Wheeler and Frieda.


    "As long as I can return to Southeast Aelinne, I will figure out a way to lure Draxton


    there. In my ce, he has to be at my mercy no matter how powerful he is.


    At that time, I will be the one who decides Draxton''s life and death. I will definitely


    make him pay double for what he did today."


    Patriarch Wheeler and Frieda''s eyes lit up. "Mr. Chancely, don''t worry. As long as you can get rid of Draxton, the Wheeler Family will send you back to Southeast Aelinne at all costs!"


    Jerico nodded with satisfaction, curving up his lips into a faint smile.


    "I''m injured and my wound hasn''t been treated yet. Get me some medicine," he said.


    ''Erica, you and Shelly go get the medicine to treat Mr. Chancely''s wound. Hurry up!"


    Frieda immediately said.


    It might be because she was confident that Jerico was able to kill Draxton, Frieda cheered up again.
