The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

"Even if you can endure hardship, it's not easy to master martial skills," Isabella said.

Yvette felt very disappointed, looking like she had just been dealt a heavy blow.

Isabella continued, "But if you really want to learn, I can teach you some self-defense skills."

Yvette looked at her with inquiring eyes.

Isabella shook her hand and a long fine needle immediately appeared between her fingers. Staring at the needle, Yvette's eyes lit up in an instant.

She remembered that Bella had used such a needle to confine Jerico that day.

"I can make you master this skill quickly. You just need to remember the acupoints of the human body. Then, I'll teach you acupuncture.

'When you encounter danger, you have a good chance to use the needle to subdue the enemy. But you're gonna tell me why you want to learn self-defend skills."

Yvette blinked. "I just... I just want to be able to protect myself. If something happens... I won't be a burden."

Isabella looked at her thoughtfully.

Yvette felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.

Isabella smiled playfully and asked, 'Yvette, do you have a boyfriend?"

Yvette blushed instantly, a trace of panic flashing across her eyes. Without giving it a second thought, she said, "No, I don't.'

Isabella turned her fingertips and put away the fine needle. "Why are you so shy? I used to be in a relationship too. You can't keep it from me. Do you want to learn acupuncture from me? If you want, just tell me.' Isabella leaned against the head of the bed, looking like she was ready to listen to Yvette's romance.

Yvette said angrily, "Bella, did that brat Hector tell you?"

Isabella answered, "Not really. I figured out that you were in a relationship, so I confirmed it with Hector.

'Why do you have to hide it from us? Is your boyfriend a gangster or something?"

"No, it's not like that,' Yvette immediately denied it. "He's a very good person."

Isabella narrowed her eyes. She noticed the affection in Yvette's eyes when she talked about her boyfriend.

"If that's the case, why didn't you tell us about him? Your cousin and I are here too. We can treat him to dinner.

'You're the same age as Olivia, right? She already has a boyfriend. Why are you so shy?"

Yvette pursed her lips and said, "Bella, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but... he doesn't want me to tell anyone. If I don't listen to him, he'll break up with me.' Yvette lowered her head with a trace of disappointment in her eyes. Isabella sneered. "How long have you two been dating? Are you sure he really loves you?"NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Yvette also wanted to tell someone about what bothering her. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Five years. We've been together for five years. Bella, I love him.'

Isabella's eyes widened in shock. "Five years? You two have been dating for five years, but you've never told your family anything about this?" What shocked her the most was that the Barker family had never found it out.

Isabella could not help but size up Yvette again. "Gosh! As the saying goes, 'Men couldn't be judged by their looks' Yvette looks as obedient as a bunny. How come she's so good at disguising? Could it be that she's actually a scheming girl?' she wondered.

Yvette blushed under her gaze and explained, "We don't meet often. He doesn't let me go see him. Every time we meet, he wants to break up with me. So I don't see him much anymore. I won't go meet him unless I miss him too much."

"He wants to break up with you every time you two meet?" Isabella was curious. "This person is quite interesting.

"Bella, he's not from a rich family. I hope you won't tell anyone about this, including Draxton and Hector.

"He's a good man. He won't hurt me."

Isabella did not ask further. "Alright, from today onwards. I'll teach you how to use acupuncture to seal people's acupoints.

"But since I already know that you have a boyfriend, I hope that you can let me meet him."

Yvette was in a dilemma.

Isabella promised, "I won't tell anyone, including Draxton and Hector."

Yvette said with a bitter look as if she was about to cry the next second,' Bella, I can't. I'm afraid that if he finds out, he'll immediately use it as an excuse to break up with me."

Isabella raised her eyebrows. She was so curious that she felt like a cat was scratching her heart.

'Alright, I believe you know what you're doing." Isabella did not force Yvette anymore.

In the hospital. Shelly was finally wheeled out of the emergency room.

She was still unconscious, her eyes closed and her face pale.

Erica and Michael rushed over and stared at the girl on the sick bed. Michael asked with tears in his eyes, "Doctor, how... is my daughter?" The doctor looked at him with a complicated gaze. He knew Michael. This man was the head of the Flouder family, a celebrity in Maestria. The doctor did not expect his daughter to encounter such a thing...

He said, Mr. Flouder, your daughter is out of danger now. If she's taken good care of, she'll be fine and will still have babies.

"But... after what happened... I suggest you get her a good psychiatrist. I think the psychological trauma will be more serious than the physical one."

Michael felt a twinge in his heart, but he struggled to hold back his tears.

Erica broke down and tears streamed down her face.

After sending Shelly back to the ward, Erica and Michael remained silent for a while.

Michael looked at Erica in disappointment and said in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you call me? You didn't call, and neither did Shelly. Why?' Erica flew into a rage out of humiliation. How could I know that Jerico would do that? I didn't expect it to happen. Now, you're blaming me when something happened to our daughter.

"If it weren't for you..."

Erica didn't continue.

Michael said guiltily, That's right. If I insisted on bringing Shelly back to the Flouder family's house, this wouldn't have happened. I should have been tougher."

Erica looked at him, the sadness in her eyes gradually replaced by resentment.

"Yeah, why didn't you be a little tougher?"

She murmured.

If Michael was tough enough to fight against the Lockwood family, the Wheeler family would not have to cooperate with Jerico...

Michael was filled with regret for not taking his daughter back to the Flouder family last night. He knew the Wheelers would do anything for benefits, but he still left her to stay with them.

"I swear I'll take revenge!" Hatred flashed across Michael's eyes as he spoke.

Erica looked at him and widened her eyes. She asked warily, "Michael, what are you going to do?"

Michael said resentfully, his eyes turning bloodshot, "I want Jerico to pay for what he did.'

"No!' Erica blurted out. Stupefied, Michael looked at her in a daze.

Erica hurriedly explained, 'Jerico is not easy to mess with. Michael, don't... don't act rashly..."

"Hmph! Not easy to mess with? I'll avenge my daughter even at the cost of the whole Flouder family. If I don't even dare to defend her when my daughter is hurt, I don't deserve to be his father." Tears rolled down Erica's face. Shelly... How did this happen to her? It's all my fault. It's all..."

A trace of resentment suddenly appeared in her eyes.

It was all the Barker family's fault! I

If Yvette and Isabella let Jerico get what he wanted that day, such a thing wouldn't have happened to Shelly.

Her daughter was ruined, but Yvette was still safe and sound. It was unfair! She would make Yvette suffer twice as much as Shelly did.
