The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481

The next afternoon, the big shots of Maestria's related industries all gathered in the Page family’s house.

Now that Stanton was in charge of the Barker family with Patriarch Barker stepping aside, Stanton would be the one to represent the Chamber of Commerce. Stanton brought his wife and son along with him.

Megan, although having an argument with Stanton, was very sensible when it came to important matters.

Hector, on the other hand, was not willing to make such a trip. He was forced to come here by Stanton and Megan.

Hector was young and unsettled. He did not care much about his family's business. Most of the time, he did not like to participate in such business gatherings.

When Stanton and his family made it there, they ran into Michael, who had also gotten out of the car. There was a young man beside Michael. “Mr. Barker, Mrs. Barker." Michael went forward to greet them with a hint of guilty on his face. After all. Erica had hurt Yvette again and again. Although she did not succeed, it wouldn't change the fact that she attempted to hurt others.

Stanton and Megan had no intention of venting their anger on Michael. This person was willing to work with Draxton for their daughter. At the very least, he was different from the Wheeler family.

Stanton's attitude was quite friendly, and he responded politely. Michael was about to take the opportunity to apologize when the Wheeler family arrived.

“Michael!' Denver shouted.

Michael turned around and saw Denver, Lydia, and Yax.

Edric stood beside Michael, and his face flushed with anger at the sight of Lydia and Denver. He almost failed to control the urge to rush forward.

Michael took a step forward and blocked Edric. He looked at Denver indifferently.

“What brings you guys here?" Michael asked, How's the company?'

Denver had some resentment toward Michael. When he heard this, he said crossly, Michael, I didn't expect you to care about the company.

Michael looked at him and said, "Sorry about that. I got tied up with so many things that happened. I gotta take care of Shelly and your sister."

At the mention of Shelly, Denver was also speechless. An unnatural expression flashed across his face as he said, "We were careless and failed to protect Shelly well. How is she now? Dad and Mom are very concerned about her."

Michael looked at him deeply and said, "She's much better. We still have to move on.'

“Yes, yes, yes. We have to move on. Just get through it. Just get through it!'

Denver nodded repeatedly.

A tide of rage surged through Michael. He said in a deep voice, "We have to get through it, but so what if we can't? The enemy has already escaped."

An embarrassed look was displayed on Denver's face at his words. "Yes... Yes..."

Michael's heart turned bitterly cold.

Denver actually didn't hate Jerico at all. Instead, he avoided talking about Jerico and said something to fob Michael off. Was this the reaction one should have when his family was hurt?

Denver was too embarrassed to mention that Michael did not help the Wheeler family. It was obviously inappropriate to mention it now.

As the atmosphere was heavy with tension, Lydia smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Everyone, go in quickly. Don't just stand at the door." Denver said, "Yes, go in, let's go in first."

Michael did not say anything else. He turned around and said to Edric before walking in.

“Are you related to the Wheeler family?" Edric asked in a low voice.

“You just found out?" Michael asked.

Edric gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Then why did you help me?"

“Didn't I tell you? You saved my wife," Michael said.

Edric clearly did not believe him, but he did not say anything else.

When he entered the Page family's main hall, he found that there were already many people in the main hall. All of them were famous figures in Maestria.

However, their families still cannot compare to the ones like the Wheeler, the Flouder, and the Barker family.

These people were not here to compete. The Page family had invited these people to join in the fun. To be precise, they wanted to ruin the Barker family's reputation in front of everyone.
