Chapter 475
'Mr. Flouder, you're valued by President now. It's not appropriate for you to come and work with us, right?" Isabella asked with a smile.
Michael said seriously, "That's totally unrelated! Getting rid of the Chancely family in Southeast Aelinne is not a bad thing for the Lockwood family and Lucsia.
'My goal is only revenge. It doesn't affect my service to President.
"I know that my ability is limited. However, the Flouder family is still a top family in
Maestria, which will make things much easier for Mr. Lockwood. I think that's what you want to see.
'Although the Lockwood family is not in need of help, it's still good to save trouble."
'Makes sense," Draxton said. He looked at Isabella and said, "What do you think, Bella?"
Isabella said, "That's true. Well... the Barker family's tolerance for the Wheeler family has reached its limit. The Barker family wants to teach the Wheeler family a lesson. Mr. Flouder, I wonder what you think?"
Michael fell silent.
The Wheeler family and the Flouder family had always been close, but now that the latter was attacking the Wheeler family, Denver had already asked Michael for help. Michael did not answer the Wheeler family directly.
Isabella asked him the question at this moment. After a moment of silence, Michael said seriously, "I guess I just turn a blind eye. I can't care less about the Wheeler family."
The most important thing for him now was to avenge his daughter. Help the Wheeler family? Wouldn't that be equivalent to helping Jerico?
The thought of this stiffened Michael's determination. It was impossible for him to help the Wheeler family.
He closed his eyes sadly. All these years, the Flouder family and the Wheeler family had a close relationship and had advanced and retreated together many times.
They were in-laws and should help each other. However, this time, the Wheeler family collaborated with Jerico behind his back, which showed their distrust of him. The point was that they implicated Shelly. What he couldn't accept the most was that the Wheeler family still chose to help Jerico after implicating Shelly.
It was stupid of them to do so and at the same time, they hurt Michael's feelings.
'Okay!' Isabella said with a smile, "Mr. Flouder, you're indeed a sensible person." I'm flattered..."
His phone suddenly rang. Michael's expression froze. He looked apologetic and hung up.
However, just as he hung up, the phone rang again.
It was an unknown number. Michael was a little uneasy. He excused himself and picked up the phone.
Isabella closed her eyes and rested. Recently, she had tended to get sleepy. Draxton only paid attention to Isabella and treated Michael as if he did not exist.
'I'm Michael."
'What?" Michael's tone changed.
Draxton took a glance at him.
'Okay, I'll be right there,' Michael said and ended the call.
'Mr. Lockwood, Miraculous Doctor, I have something important to deal with. I'll take my leave first. Since we've agreed on the cooperation, I'll be waiting for your orders at any time." Draxton gave a dip of his head and asked curiously, "What's so urgent, Mr. Flouder?"
Michael paused and looked at Draxton suspiciously. Mr. Lockwood, something happened to my wife. I wonder if it's related to you and the Barker family?'
Draxton's expression displayed his displeasure and he sneered. "It has nothing to do with me."
Michael nodded and immediately believed him. "Alright, I'll take my leave.'
After Michael left, Isabella asked curiously, 'Did something happen to Erica? Who did it?"
"Who else could it be? Erica hired someone from the Star Society to kidnap Yvette. If Isaac really cares about Yvette, he must do nothing."
Draxton stated.
Isabella smiled and said, "This Isaac is quite something."
Draxton's face darkened. "Bella, are you saying that about another man because you think I'm boring?"
Isabella closed her eyes and snorted with a smile. "Yes, you don't even have sex with me anymore."
Draxton's dark face instantly turned red. He looked around. Fortunately, there was no one downstairs at this moment. Otherwise, he would be so embarrassed.
'Isabella, behave yourself. Don't forget that you're pregnant now!" Draxton emphasized the word 'pregnant'.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Oh; Isabella replied lightly.
"Ahem!" An awkward cough sounded. Draxton's body stiffened, and Isabella suddenly opened her eyes.
Hector got up from behind the sofa with a red face. He waved his hand as he fled away. "I-I didn't mean to eavesdrop..."
With that, he soon went out of sight.
Draxton and Isabella were left there dumbfounded.
Michael was rushed to the hospital. When he arrived at the ward, other than a few young people, he also saw three police officers.
"Mr. Flouder!"
The police officer in the lead obviously knew Michael.
Michael nodded. "Mr. Frasier, how's my wife?"
Sherard Frasier said, "Ms. Wheeler is still unconscious. The doctor said that she will wake up in a while. Her life is not in danger. However, she has many fractures. Her injuries are very serious. She will probably be bedridden for a while.
"Mr. Flouder, I have a few questions for you. I hope you can answer truthfully."
"I will," Michael said to the police as he glanced at Erica, who was lying on the hospital bed.
They left the ward and went to the corridor.
The police officer said, "Mr. Flouder, have you and Ms. Wheeler offended anyone recently?"
Michael was silent.
Michael felt that what he had done recently should not have offended anyone.
As for Erica, he couldn't be sure about that.
Hence, Michael shook his head. Sherard thought that Michael wanted to say that he had never offended anyone, but Michael said, 'Tm not sure."
Sherard was stunned.
"Mr. Flouder, what do you mean? Can you be more specific? This is very important to our investigation of the case. When we received the report from these students and rushed to the place where the report was made, Ms. Wheeler was naked and beaten up all over. She fainted in the grass.
"The perpetrator's methods are experienced and ruthless. Those injuries are painful but not fatal, which leads us to infer that she had offended someone who intended to vent anger.'
Michael's face immediately turned ashen. He said, "Mr. Frasier, I really can't be sure about this. My wife... is indeed prone to offending people sometimes. It's better to wait for her to wake up and ask her personally.
"To be honest, something happened to my daughter. She's also staying in this hospital. I've been with my daughter in the hospital for the past two days. My wife left the hospital at around 11 pm last night. The time the crime was committed should have been late last night. Mr. Frasier, is a surveillance camera available at the crime scene?'
Sherard shook his head. The crime scene is on the way back to the Flouder family. There's no surveillance camera on that road."
Michael's expression grew solemn. He had asked Draxton and got to know that it wasn't he or the Barker family who was behind this. But who could it be?
Could it be that Erica had done something behind his back and offended someone else?
He looked at the young people and asked, "Hello, were you the ones who reported the case? Thank you so much!"
Edric and the other youngsters shook their heads. Ardent said, "It's nothing. It's what we should do. We went there to play, but we didn't expect to save someone. It's a good deed!"
Edric did not say anything. He stood behind his companions and quietly stared at Michael.
Michael quickly noticed his gaze and only felt that this young man was a little strange. He did not think too much about it and said solemnly, 'Although that's the case, you guys saved my wife's life. I'm supposed to do something to thank you for the huge favor.
"I wonder if you need any help? As long as it's within my ability, I'll definitely do my best."
These students had just reached adulthood at most, and there might be some who had yet to turn 18. Michael's attitude was very sincere, and he had no intention of fobbing off the young people.
Michael wasn't strange for the few young people. They were all young and somewhat revered such a successful person. Michael's humble attitude made them somewhat a little embarrassed and they all shook their heads repeatedly.
As he spoke, the nurse suddenly exclaimed that the patient woke up.
