The Billionaire's Kick-Ass Wife Chapter 489
"Joseph, you know very well if the Page family is at fault or not. Oh? You're getting bolder just because the Wheeler family is having a hard time, right? Let me tell you, the Wheeler family will not be finished. Don't go too far!'
Denver said sternly.
'You..." Joseph was furious. Just as he was about to say something, he was silenced by a hint from Old Mr. Page.
Old Mr. Page shook his head at Joseph, who snorted and bit back the words he was about to say.
Old Mr. Page said, Denver, we're all on the same side. Harmony is all that matters. Still, what happened today was indeed because of you."
Denver snorted coldly and turned around to leave.
With a gloomy face, Lydia looked at one side and then at the other. Old Mr. Page said, ' Lydia, why are you still here? Do you really want a divorce?"
Lydia came back to her sense and hurriedly chased after Denver.
Joseph said, "Dad, don't tell me you still have expectations for the Wheeler family. The Barker family is backed by the Lockwood family. The Wheeler family is not going to make it through."
Old Mr. Page narrowed his eyes slightly and said, Although that's the case, the result is yet to be revealed. We must leave a way out when doing things.
"It's a fact that the Wheeler familyis cooperating with the Chancely family in Southeast Aelinne, where the Chancely family's power is intertwined. Who knows if the Wheeler family can make a comeback after cooperating with them?'
A villa by the river was heavily guarded. Three black cars arrived at the entrance of the villa one after another.
Immediately, two rows of bodyguards in black rushed out of the villa to stop them. The leader of the bodyguards said sternly, "Who are you? Do you have an invitation?"
The window of the car in the lead was rolled down. A hand was stretched out. In his hand was a black plaque engraved with the logo of the Lockwood family's Big Dipper. It shone coldly under the sunlight. The lead of the bodyguards was stunned for a moment before he heard the person in the car say, ' Patriarch is here. Open the door."
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment and said, 'Please wait for a moment. I'll report to Mr. Lockwood!"
The person in the car retracted his hand. A moment later, he stretched it out again with a gun and took a shot. The bullet hit the bodyguard's feet.
The bodyguards' faces paled and they instantly took out their guns.
The person in the car sneered. "Well, do you want to start a war with us? Vernon is no longer working for the Lockwood family, but is this how Henderson treats his previous boss?"
The leader of the bodyguard wore a troubled look in a dilemma. The person in the car said in a cold voice, "Open the door! Oh, Mr. Lockwood doesn't dare to open the door to see patriarch?"
The bodyguard's face was pale as he said, 'Mr. Big Dipper, it's not that I mean to stop patriarch, but Mr. Lockwood ordered us to..."
In the car, the Big Dipper member gave a brittle laugh and said, "Alright, I want to see how tough Henderson's orders are!"
With that, he started the car and drove towards the villa's entrance.
The two rows of bodyguards guarding the gate were too frightened to stop the cars, which drove into the villa nonstop.
The leader of the bodyguards watched as the three cars drove into the villa. He quickly took out his walkie-talkie and contacted the main residence.
They also hurried inside.
Henderson was out of sorts at this moment. Harlow sat opposite him and said, "Mr. Lockwood, your adopted son is useless. He was injured so easily. Doesn't Isabella have no combat strength?" Henderson shot him an angry look and said, Isabella is Butterfly, the Miraculous Doctor. Do you think she's so easy to deal with? Harlow, where did your arrogance come from?" Harlow paused and said, "Don't take offense. It's just that Draxton and Isabella are way too strong. Jasper is also seriously injured. This makes me a little worried about our plan." Henderson's expression darkened. 'What's there to worry about? There's surely someone who can deal with them..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the captain of the bodyguards' voice came through the communicator.
Henderson's countenance changed. He turned around and strode out.
When Henderson went out, more than a dozen members of Big Dipper had gotten out of the car. One of them opened the door of the middle car and Draxton was getting out.
At the sight of Draxton, Henderson was slightly surprised. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he strode forward and laughed, 'Patriarch, welcome. Sorry for not coming out to welcome you!"
Draxton looked at him indifferently. The Big Dipper member beside him sneered and said, "Mr. Lockwood, you're quite arrogant. I didn't expect you to forget your former boss so quickly. Oh? Is it so difficult for the patriarch to see you?"
"No, not at all..." said Henderson hurriedly. At this moment, the captain of the bodyguards and his bodyguards ran over. Henderson glanced at them and waved his hand to dismiss them.
After the bodyguards left, Henderson said with a smile, "Patriarch, sorry about this. The bodyguards are not doing their job well. Patriarch, please come in."
Draxton gave Henderson a bland look and walked past him. As he walked, he asked, "Where's Vernon?"
Henderson's heart skipped a beat. He instantly understood why Draxton was here.
He was here to settle scores with him!
Henderson walked behind with his head lowered. His expression turned cold. Then, he put on a smile and said awkwardly, "Patriarch, Vernon was injured a few days ago and is recuperating now. I'm afraid it's not a good time to see him..."
Draxton snorted. "Henderson, am I easy to fool? Or do you think Miraculous Doctor is easy to fool?"
Without looking back, Draxton raised his hand and threw a medicine bottle at Henderson.
Henderson's pupils constricted. When he saw that Draxton was not throwing a weapon but a medicine bottle, he raised his hand and caught it.
"Patriarch, what is this?"
Draxton said, 'Antidote for Vernon."
Henderson's face stiffened and words failed to express him.
The muscles on his face twitched a few times as he said, T-Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood."
The atmosphere was a little frigid. Henderson was writhing with embarrassment.
As they spoke, they arrived at the living room. Draxton went straight to the sofa and sat down, looking at Henderson indifferently.
Henderson bawled, "Someone, serve coffee, good coffee!"
With that, Henderson sat down at the furthest place from Draxton.
Big Dipper sneered.
'Henderson, you should understand why I'm here," Draxton said as his dark blue eyes were glued on him.
At this moment, he wore a cold look with no smile, and his murderous and cold aura enveloped the entire living room with an invisible pressure. Henderson found the air a little sticky and oppressive for no reason.
The fear of being dominated by Draxton in the past spread around him imperceptibly, reminding him of many unpleasant scenes.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Henderson's forehead broke out in cold sweat uncontrollably.
Draxton slowly said, "Ever since I got married, I've been doing things in a much more gentle way. I rarely kill people.
"The Vernon Group is far away in Maestria. I can't watch you all the time. I just turn a blind eye to something you've done.
"I might as well hand over the Vernon Group and let President manage it. I suppose this is the freedom that you've always longed for?"
"Patriarch..."
The calmness on Henderson's face disappeared bit by bit.
"Well, Henderson, who gave you the guts to hurt my wife and family?"
Draxton's voice was very soft, slow, and deep.
Henderson was no longer as calm as before. The color on his face faded, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
