The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

The Billionaire's Kick-Ass Wife 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.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

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. "Father, we're here." Lydia and Denver greeted Old Mr. Page.

Old Mr. Page was all smiles. Lydia and Denver are here?"

As he spoke, he said to Anthony beside him, "Mr. Anthony, this is my daughter, and this is my son-in-law, the person in charge of the Wheeler family, Denver Wheeler."

Anthony looked at Denver and nodded slightly. Mr. Wheeler, nice to meet you.”

Denver quickly extended his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Anthony. It's great to see you.'

Old Mr. Page smiled and said, "Mr. Anthony, the Page and Wheeler family are in-laws. Our two families have always been on the same side." Anthony's eyes flashed. Of course, he knew what Old Mr. Page meant.

The Page family and Wheeler family joining forces would overshadow the Barker family alone.

Anthony just smiled in response. Beside him, Arvid blinked and looked around curiously.

At this moment, Stanton and his family walked over. Stanton's expression was solemn. He was poised to strive for a chance to talk to Anthony.

Old Mr. Page smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Anthony, this is Mr. Stanton Barker, who's in charge of the Barker family."

Anthony's gaze changed subtly as he looked at Stanton.

Stanton politely greeted Old Mr. Page before looking at Anthony. "Mr. Anthony, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Stanton from the Barker Family."

To be honest, the Rutherford family used to be pirates. Even though Anthony appeared to be very low-key and easy-going, he was unapproachable with more or less a fierce aura around him. Therefore, Stanton was very cautious.

However, Anthony was clearly different from what he thought.

Anthony, who had been very reserved in front of others a moment ago, looked at Stanton's outstretched hand and did not shake it.

Old Mr. Page and Joseph's expressions were subtle. A hint of joy flashed across their eyes.

Stanton's heart sank.

There were also some people around who looked over. At this moment, everyone could not help but think that as expected, Anthony valued the Page and Wheeler families more.

After all, the Page and Wheeler families were in-laws. When they joined forces, they were stronger than the Barker family.

Still, there were also some people who had odd expressions on their faces. Something had happened to the Wheeler family recently because of the Barker family. Was the Wheeler family still the same as before?

The current Wheeler family was in a precarious situation. They could not even take care of themselves. How could they have much strength left?

They might be able to fool an outsider like Anthony, but the locals knew very well.

However, a broken family was still stronger than an ordinary one. If the Wheeler family succeeded in working with Anthony, the Wheeler family's crisis would be solved.

Not only that, but they could also develop overseas markets. After all, the partner was the Rutherford family.

Stanton's expression grew solemn at the thought of this. Beside him, Megan and Hector appeared nervous as well.

If Anthony didn't give the Barker family a chance at all, it would be difficult for them today.

However, just as everyone thought that Anthony was going to refuse to shake Stanton's hand, Anthony suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

That should be a hearty laugh. Anyway, his laughter caught many people present off guard.

Stanton was also taken aback. He subconsciously retracted his hand, but his hand was caught by Anthony, who held it tightly and shook it vigorously.

'Hahaha, Mr. Stanton, I'm Anthony. Nice to meet you," said Anthony as he shook Stanton's hand.

Stanton couldn't keep his composure. With a half smile and his face slightly distorted, he looked at Anthony in shock, his eyes dull.

"Uh... Nice to meet you, nice to meet you..."

Stanton tried to pull his hand away, but Anthony's grip was too tight and he failed.

Anthony's smile was warm. His hands swayed as if he had no intention of letting go.
