Chapter 444
On the night of Shelly's birthday, Isabella and Yvette packed up and prepared to go out.
Yvette wore a traditional dress with embroidered white magnolia flowers, accentuated by pearl accessories. She took off her glasses and braided her hair, revealing her beautiful and exquisite face.
Only then did Isabella realize that Yvette's eyes and brows were quite similar to Jeanne Lockwood's.
Especially when she smiled.
Blood relations were really magical.
Compared to Yvette's dignified dress, Isabella wore a dark purple dress with shimmering purple gems.
Her V-neck was slightly low, making her already slender neck look even more slender and fair.
Today, she did her long hair into waves and stuck a purple jade hairpin on the left. She had light makeup on. She had an aggressive brightness and a strong aura when she was serious. Betty and Ricky stood side by side opposite Isabella. Both of them had starry eyes.
Betty was the naughtier of the two. She covered her mouth exaggeratedly and praised, "Wow! Mommy is so beautiful!"
"Is Aunt Yvette not beautiful?" Yvette teased her with a smile.
Betty immediately said with an intoxicated expression, 'Aunt Yvette is so beautiful too."
A sly look flashed across Yvette's eyes as she asked, Then... between Aunt Yvette and me, who's prettier?" "Ugh..."
Betty widened her watery eyes and bit her finger awkwardly. Her gaze lingered between Isabella and Yvette.
The entire family gathered around as if they were watching a show. They smiled at Betty.
Betty was in a difficult position. Her mother was naturally the most beautiful in her heart.
However, Aunt Yvette would definitely be sad if she told the truth.
However, she did not want to lie. She could not bear to see someone more beautiful than her mother!
It was a difficult situation.
The little girl's face wrinkled.
At this moment, Ricky looked at Betty helplessly. His sister had finally met with difficulty. He stepped forward and shielded Betty behind him. He said sincerely, "We think Mommy and Aunt Yvette are both beautiful. But in Dad's heart, Mommy is definitely more beautiful."
Yvette's eyes widened in shock.
Isabella held her forehead and laughed softly.
Betty blinked and said, "Yes, yes. Ricky is right. In Daddy's heart, Mommy is the most beautiful!'
After saying that, the little girl looked at Draxton.
The family burst into laughter. Patriarch Barker laughed the loudest. Even Solomon and Megan smiled.
Draxton took the opportunity to say, "Of course. Your mother is the most beautiful in my heart."
He even looked at Isabella affectionately as he spoke.
Isabella smiled and looked at him. 'It's about time. Yvette, let's go.'
Yvette nodded. Draxton looked at Isabella and asked worriedly, "Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?'
Isabella said, "Don't worry. Didn't the people from the Big Dipper branch come over? With them around, you don't have to worry.'
Big Dipper was spread all over the world. Its power was unimaginable.
This was also the reason why Draxton could generously give up on the four branches and the Vernon Branch.
He had to be decisive in handing the dark forces over to the President if the Lockwood family wanted to take an open and aboveboard path. For one, the Lockwood family would be at peace. Secondly, under those circumstances, the Lockwood family had to make a choice.
Draxton had allocated resources to nurture Big Dipper, Little Dipper, and the others in the early years, which showed that he had planned for today.
Isabella and Yvette were escorted by seven people from Big Dipper's Maestria branch.
This was the first time these seven people had seen Isabella in person. Previously, they already knew Isabella very well through the golden butterfly stud.
The seven of them were quite excited when they saw Isabella in person. There was even a girl among them.
At 8:30 pm, Shelly's birthday party officially began.
Shelly was the eldest daughter of the Flouder family. Her birthday banquet should have been held in the Flouder family. However, this time, Patriarch Wheeler and Madame Wheeler had put in the word, and the Flouder family had agreed to hold
Shelly's birthday banquet in the Wheeler family.
Michael had also arrived. However, at this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with anger.
This was because a man kept looking at Shelly with a scorching and flirtatious gaze.
That person stuck to Shelly's side like a shameless dog. Denver could not stop that man no matter how much he tried.
On the other hand, Denver still had a forbearing expression on his face. Meanwhile, that man could clearly see that the Wheeler family was unwilling. However, he ignored them and continued to approach Shelly.
Shelly's face was pale. Her eyes were filled with panic and disgust.
Erica's face was ashen. She gripped the hem of her gown tightly and kept looking at the door. It was as if she was waiting for someone to come.
'Erica, what's going on? Who's that man? Why is he staring at Shelly? He... doesn't look like Lucsian!"
Erica's eyes flashed. She felt guilty and did not dare to look Michael in the eye.
Michael and Erica had been husband and wife for so many years, so he naturally understood her. He knew that she was hiding something from him from one look at her expression.
His heart sank. He grabbed Erica's wrist and pulled her to his side. He lowered his voice and asked, "Who is he? When did the Wheeler family get to know this person? You've even implicated Shelly?" 'Who said that Shelly was involved? No, we've already thought of a solution. Shelly will be fine!"
Erica quickly defended herself.
Michael's pupils contracted when he heard this. 'Solution? Who exactly is that man that the Wheeler family has to go this far? Erica, tell me clearly what's going on!"
Michael's expression turned cold. He looked at Shelly and saw her hiding behind Denver, her face pale. Denver was fighting with that person.
Erica saw it too. She could not help but look at the door again. She became even more anxious when she saw that Yvette had not arrived yet. Forced by Michael, she gritted her teeth and told the truth.
"Last month, a few forces from Southeast Aelinne came to Lucsia. It was then that Mr. Chancely first came to the Wheeler family. Coincidentally, Shelly and I were there. Mr. Chancely had designs on Shelly the first time he saw her.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Recently, he has been eyeing Shelly. My parents and I are anxious, but... Mr. Chancely is very powerful. It's really not appropriate for the Wheeler family to turn on him..." "Foreign forces? Southeast Aelinne?" Michael's expression turned extremely terrifying. He suddenly tightened his grip on Erica's hand and dragged her to a corner.
He asked in a low voice, "Most of the forces in Southeast Aelinne kill without batting an eyelid. Is the Wheeler family implicated with them?
"Erica, tell me, what kind of cooperation did the Wheeler family and Mr. Chancely reach? Do you know that the Wheeler family is playing with fire?"
Erica was frightened by Michael's expression. She was shocked and worried. She struggled hard and said, "Let go of me, Michael. You're hurting me.
"I don't know what kind of collaboration the Wheeler family has with Mr. Chancely. I only know that Dad has already reached an agreement with him. However, that person should never have targeted Shelly. Mom has already thought of a solution.
"Yvette Barker will be here soon. Shelly will be safe as long as we shift Mr. Chancely's attention to Yvette. Don't worry. Shelly will not be implicated.
"Mr. Chancely just hasn't met Lucsia's socialite. With Yvette around, he definitely won't have any designs on Shelly anymore!"
Erica spoke quickly. The explanations were a form of self-comfort. She did not notice Michael's expression become increasingly terrifying.
