Chapter 500
The Billionaire's Kick-Ass Wife Chapter 500
"Hey Shelly, why are you crying here? Who made you cry?"
Shermaine passed by with her tablet and happened to see Shelly standing outside the door crying.
Shelly heard Shermaine's words and quickly raised her hand to wipe her tears. She looked up at Shermaine and turned to leave.
Shermaine rolled her eyes after Shelly left and complained, "How ridiculous!"
In the study, Michael and Micah looked in the direction of the door. After Micah had calmed down, he asked, "Was Shelly outside?"
Michael was silent for a moment before saying, 'She's not that fragile."
Shelly returned to the bedroom and locked the door. She stopped crying.
She sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. Her lips slowly curled into a mocking smile.
Shelly was mocking how she was in the past.
The Flouder family, whom she had distanced herself from, was furious because of what happened to her.
The Wheeler family, whom Shelly had always been close to, did not react to her tragic encounter. They even helped the perpetrator leave Lucsia. Even her mother said that she did not see the big picture. Everything that had been done or had happened was for the Wheeler family. All for the Wheeler family.
She found it extremely ridiculous!
The atmosphere at the Wheeler family residence had never been this depressing.
Erica left the hospital and returned to the Wheeler family.
Patriarch Wheeler looked like he had aged even more overnight. He asked weakly, "Erica, what did you and your mother do when you went to the Barker family? Why did Michael want to divorce you suddenly?"
Erica remained silent. She was in an extremely terrible mood.
Denver was the first to speak. "What else can it be? I really didn't expect Michael Flouder to be such a person. He decides to abandon Erica after realizing that our Wheeler family has gone bankrupt!" Although Patriarch Wheeler listened to Frieda most of the time, in his heart, he knew that things were not what they appeared to be at times.
He said, Michael is not such a person. Erica, what happened?"
Erica suddenly stood up and said, "I'm feeling very vexed now. Don't ask me anything!"
With that, she went upstairs.
"Gosh Dad, look at her attitude!" Denver was also a little unhappy.
Patriarch Wheeler leaned on the couch tiredly and did not speak for a long time. After that, he asked Denver "After paying all the debts, how much do we have left?'
Denver looked troubled. "There's not much left. About two million..."
To them, two million dollars was not enough to buy a car.
But now, their entire family only had two million left.
Being poor was worse than dying.
There was silence again. Denver suddenly said, "Dad, I can't accept this. I can't accept that our family has become like..."
Patriarch Wheeler looked at him with a tired expression. "What else can we do?"
Denver said nothing and his eyes looked expressionless. "Yes, what else can we do?"
Now, the Wheeler family was helpless. There were even many people who ridiculed and mocked them.
They could not receive any help from the Flouder family. They could not count on the Page family either. They had totally reached a dead end.
At the Barker family residence.
"Dad, the Wheeler family has gone bankrupt," Stanton said.
Manfred mumbled something and didn't pay much attention to it.
Madame Barker scoffed and said, 'If they are frugal, the money they have left will be enough for them to live a comfortable life. They will not starve to death if they give up their pride and start to look for jobs." "You expect them to give up their pride and start working? Mom, are you joking?" Stanton laughed.
Madame Barker pouted. "It was just a remark!"
"They only have themselves to blame!" Jeanne said coldly.
"I heard that Michael and Erica have divorced," Megan suddenly said.
The Barker family members started talking about it once they heard this piece of news. Isabella commented, "Michael Flouder did the right thing!"
"In my opinion, Mr. Wheeler is very muddle-headed. If he hadn't allowed Frieda to create trouble again and again, the Wheeler family wouldn't have come to this point."
Patriarch Barker said.
"Frieda was quite capable when she was young. Didn't Mr. Wheeler listen to everything she said when he was young? He had gotten used to it." Just then, a small red dot suddenly flashed on the metal pendant around Isabella's neck. Then there was a very soft beeping sound.
Isabella's expression changed.
She quickly got up and hurried upstairs. Draxton noticed it too and followed behind her immediately.
However, before he could move far, the phone rang.
Draxton took out his phone and looked at it. His eyes narrowed, and his expression turned serious.
A string of unknown numbers that were not recorded in his contact list popped up on the screen of his phone. This string of numbers came from Southeast Aelinne.
This string of numbers was a special number of the Big Dipper in the Southeast Aelinne branch. Under normal circumstances, no one would use this string of numbers to call. Once that happened, it meant that something had happened.
Draxton answered the call as he went upstairs.
The others no longer had the mood to gossip about the Wheeler family. They looked at Draxton and Isabella anxiously.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Jeanne patted Philip and asked, "Did something happen?'
Philip frowned. Draxton rarely showed such a serious expression. Philip wondered what had happened.
He comforted Jeanne. "Don't worry. They'll take care of it. Ask them what happened later."
As soon as Draxton answered the call, an anxious and weak voice sounded. "Mr. Lockwood, this is Spencer! Walter Lockwood has betrayed us!"
As soon as Spencer had finished speaking, there was a loud bang from the other side. It sounded like an explosion.
Then, the line was cut off.
Draxton gripped his phone tightly and frowned.
Walter was Draxton's confidant. Would he betray Draxton?
However, Spencer was also Draxton's confidant. He had no reason to frame Walter.
He didn't have time to think. He hurried over to Isabella who had removed the chip from the metal pendant and connected it to the computer. She was typing skillfully on the keyboard. Draxton was not in a hurry to ask what had happened. Instead, he waited quietly.
A moment later, Isabella pressed the last key. A string of symbols that Draxton could not understand appeared on the computer screen. It should be a string of passwords or something else. Under normal circumstances, only some mysterious organizations would use such special passwords.
Before Draxton said anything, Isabella said with a solemn expression, 'Jake has sent a distress signal. He's in trouble.
"There are two messages in this password. One is for us to save Olivia. The other is to remind us to be careful."
"He specifically warned us to be careful? Bella, something serious has happened in Southeast Aelinne." Draxton's expression was serious too.
Isabella nodded. Yes, I agree. Otherwise, Jake wouldn't be in trouble and wouldn't have sent me a distress signal. This is Mercenari Uno's special signal. He wouldn't send it unless he had no choice. "The information contained in this string of passwords is not complete. It is obvious that he typed it in a hurry... He's in danger now.
