Chapter 491
The Billionaire's Kick-Ass Wife Chapter 491
When Patriarch Wheeler and Frieda Barker heard this, they felt extremely disappointed.
Patriarch Wheeler quickly said, "Mr. Chancely, although that's the case, the cooperation between the Chancely and the Wheeler families can continue. As long as you..."
"The Wheeler family? The Wheeler family is nothing to me!" The voice on the phone was still gentle, but the tone was disdainful.
Even though it was a phone call, Patriarch Wheeler was embarrassed and could not hold back the angry expression on his face. However, he had to swallow his pride and said, Mr. Chancely, please listen to me..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the opposite party ended the call.
Patriarch Wheeler stared at his phone with a blank expression.
"Hubby..."Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Frieda's voice was trembling. She wished that what she had heard just now was just an illusion. She hope that it was her hearing problem!
However, the dejected look on Patriarch Wheeler's face was real. It was not her hallucination. It was the cold hard truth.
Their cooperation with the Chancely family had ended.
The Wheeler family did not even have the last chance to make their comeback.
Patriarch Wheeler wondered why they did so much and spent so much effort.
In the end, not only did he fail to bring down the Lockwood family, he even implicated his own family.
"Frieda, our family... is finished..."
Patriarch Wheeler felt weak and fell to the ground. His phone slipped out of his hand. Frieda looked at him in a daze. The two of them looked at each other, but their eyes were not focused. There was a depressing silence in the room.
"The efforts of the past generations of the Wheeler family have all been destroyed in my hands..."
After a while. Patriarch Wheeler covered his face and cried, breaking the silence.
Frieda's lifeless eyes moved. She looked at Patriarch Wheeler and suddenly said, 'TH make a trip to the Barker family and beg Manfred to give our family a chance. Then our family will be alright. As long as our family tides over, there will definitely be a chance to take down the Lockwood family..."
"Frieda, it's useless. Manfred is really angry with us this time." Patriarch Wheeler shook his head. He thought about what his family had done, and he knew that if it were the Barker family who did those things, he himself would definitely not let the Barker family off.
"No." Frieda's tone was firm. There seemed to be light in her eyes again. "He's my brother. I'll beg him, even if it means kneeling down and
begging him. I don't believe that he'll be so heartless and watch me suffer."
As she spoke, it was as if she was certain that Manfred would be kind enough to give her a second chance. Her eyes shone with brightness and certainty.
Patriarch Wheeler looked at her like a drowning person trying to grab the last piece of wood on the water. He hesitated and asked. Frieda, is it really going to work?"
"Yes! Why not?" Frieda got up from the ground with a high fighting spirit. She tidied her clothes and went to the changing room.
She came out soon after.
Patriarch Wheeler looked at her in surprise.
Frieda was wearing a pair of gray pants and a simple top. The exquisite makeup on her face had been removed, and there was only a simple decorative ornament on her hair. Her dressing was even simpler than their housekeeper.
"Frieda, you..."
Frieda said, 'Yes, I want to go to the Barker family like this. Let's see if Manfred still wants to destroy our family. If he doesn't relent, I'll kneel in front of him and not leave!"
After stopping for a while, she continued, "This is not enough. Where is Erica? Is she still at the hospital?"
Patriarch Wheeler looked at Frieda with a stun look. He had not expected that Frieda would go all out to save their family.
Frieda narrowed her eyes and said, "I want to bring Erica along. It's best if she hasn't recovered from her injuries yet. We will appear very miserable in front of the Barker family. I think Manfred will not be so cold-hearted.
'Otherwise, I'll go and beg Draxton Lockwood. Let's see if this young fellow would help me!'
At first, Patriarch Wheeler thought that Frieda's plan did not seem feasible. However, now that he heard her reasoning, he could not help but feel that her plan might just work.
'Hubby, what are you waiting for? Get a car to send me to the hospital. I'm going to look for Erica!"
At the same time, a black car slowly arrived at the Barker family residence. Members of the entire Barker family went out to receive the people in the car. Patriarch Barker and Madame Barker were especially happy.
The car stopped and two Big Dipper members got out. They opened the door for Philip and Jeanne to get out of the car.
"Dad! Mom!"
Jeanne shouted happily.
"Hello, Manfred, Marianna," Philip also called out.
Why did you come suddenly? You should have called first!" Madame Barker chided.
Jeanne smiled and said, "Hey, Mom, Philip and I happened to be nearby, so we decided to come over. We plan to go overseas after visiting you. This time, we plan to go for an adventure in the rainforest." Jeanne explained excitedly.
When Patriarch Barker heard that, his face darkened.
Draxton's face also darkened.
Both Philip and Jeanne were really unreliable!
Madame Barker's expression also became quite unhappy.
Philip noticed this situation. He coughed lightly and changed the topic. He said to Ricky and Betty, "Hey Ricky and Betty, do you miss grandpa and grandma?”
He completely ignored Draxton and Isabella.
"Yes! Grandpa, yes, grandma!"
Betty cheered and ran over. The two children ran into the arms of Jeanne and Philip.
Both of them happily picked up the two children and ran around with them a few times.
Madame Barker looked at the two of them in disdain and said, "Oh my god! Hubby, look! These are the people who have become grandparents!
It's really..."
She looked at them disdainfully.
Isabella looked at them enviously and poked Draxton. 'Draxton, they're going to the rainforest. There are many wild medicinal herbs in the deepest part of the rainforest. Unfortunately, they don't know anything about herbs. Otherwise, I would have asked them to bring some back.
"If it weren't for the fact that I'm pregnant, I'll like to go too."
Her eyes showed that she yearned to go to the rainforest.
Draxton did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "If you want the medicinal herbs. I'll send someone over. The Big Dipper guys can do it. They'll not be so bored every day."
Isabella rolled her eyes at Draxton. "Did I say I lack medicinal herbs now?"
She was just envious that Jeanne and Philip could go anywhere they like and enjoy themselves.
Draxton also understood and sighed. Then he looked at Ricky and Betty. He said lightly, When the children grow up, we will be free!"
Isabella followed his gaze and looked at the two children.
She raised her hand and touched her chin gently. She knew what Draxton said was right.
Ricky and Betty, who were wheedling in their grandparents' arms suddenly felt a chill on their backs. The two children turned around feeling puzzled and saw their parents. Their father looked serious but their mother was smiling away.
They ignored their parents and turned their heads back to bury their faces in their grandparents' arms, happily enjoying the kisses, hugs, and caresses.
When the family entered the house, Jeanne nudged Isabella and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Do you feel tired?"
Isabella said, "I'm feeling quite okay and I don't vomit much."
Jeanne glanced at her stomach. It had been three months, but there was no baby bump yet.
Madame Barker went to the kitchen personally to cut some fruits. She smiled and brought them over. "Come, come, eat some fruits. Bella, eat more." Alfred walked in with a worried expression and said, "Sir, Madame, Frieda is here."
