The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456

In Frieda's opinion, Manfre wouldn't have had the guts to hit her because he was guilty about her.

That was why she dared to make a scene here.

Patriarch Barker looked at her coldly and said, "Why wouldn't I dare to hit you? Frieda, I have my bottom line and my patience has grown thin.

You've challenged me again and again. Do you still want me to show you mercy?'

"You!"

Frieda was heartbroken. Tears welled up as she stared resentfully at Patriarch Barker. "Manfred, you're not worthy of being my brother!"

"Of course, he’s not worthy of being your brother because he doesn't want to have a sister like you.

"Frieda, think about what you've done. Who would want to have a younger sister like you?"

Madame Barker sneered.

"Shut up. This is between us siblings. You're just an outsider. It's none of your business.’

Frieda shot her a fierece glare.

Madame Barker found it ridiculous. She looked at Patriarch Barker and said, Manfred, did you hear that? I'm an outsider!

"It's so funny. I've lived with you for dozens of years and we already have grandchildren. Now, someone is saying that I'm an outsider. Am I hearing things or is that person a lunatic?"

The look in Madame Barker's eyes became stern as she spoke.

Manfred also got mad. He looked at Frieda coldly and said, ’Frieda, don't you know who the outsider really is? After you kidnapped Draxton, I already cut ties with you. I, Manfred Barker, don't have a sister!"

Frieda's eyes widened in fury. "Manfred, where's your conscience? Have you forgotten what dad said? He asked you to take good care of me for the rest of your life. Have you forgotten?"

Manfred was so angry that he trembled slightly. "I've never forgotten it. However, you've hurt my family time and time again and opposed me all these years. I don't think I've done anything wrong to you. I can't shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking care of you for the rest of my life. If you still have the slightest sense of shame, get out of the Barker family's house right now!"

"You don't have the right to kick me out! I'm also a Barker, the daughter of the Barker family!

"My mother died to save our father, and you killed my uncle. Manfred, you owe me. You owe me for the rest of your life!"

Manfred sneered, 'Your mother saved our father. That's between the two of them. What does it have to do with me?

"I put your mother's memorial brass in the hall, and I offer memorials to her just like what I do to my mother over the years. I don't owe her anything.

' Moreover, your uncle colluded with the bandits who killed your mother and tried to kill our father. He deserved to die!

"Frieda, you've been stubborn and arrogant since you were young. You think that it's all other people's fault no matter what happens and that everyone in the world owes you. But think about it. Who owes you? Who did anything to hurt you?1'

Frieda said angrily, 'Who owes me? Who once hurt me? I'm the daughter of the Barker family, but our father favors boys over girls and left everything to you.

"When I got married, you gave me nothing but a little money. If I didn't beg you, you wouldn't give me a penny. You owe me!

"The Wheeler family was in difficulty when I just married. You should know how much I suffered, but you just turned a blind eye to it.

"Later, we both had children. Your daughter married into the most influential family in the city, but my daughter was not that lucky. Why? Manfred, how can you say that you don't owe me anything?’

Manfred took a deep breath. He had long known that Frieda was a shrew, but he did not expect her to be so unreasonable and shameless.

Manfred continued, "My daughter married into a noble family because she and Philip loved each other, not because I set them up to get the Lockwood family my connection.

"But what did you do?

"You instigated your daughter to seduce Philip with ulterior motives. If it weren't for Philip's determination to be with Jean, Jean's happiness would have been ruined by you.

"What angered me the most was that when Draxton was only a few years old, you kidnapped him after your daughter failed to seduce Philip. I only cut off my relationship with you and didn't put you in prison. I already showed mercy!

"Frieda, tell me, who owes whom?’

Frieda stared at Manfred and could not help but take a step back.

She had no idea what to say, but she did not think she had done anything wrong.

She said indignantly, "Alright, I was in the wrong back then. However, what was wrong with Erica pursuing the man she liked? Even if Philip did not like her, he had no reason to humiliate her. Wasn't it because Jeanne sowed discord?

"What's wrong with me kidnapping her son to warn her? Besides, isn't Draxton safe and sound?

"If I knew things would have become like this, I would have killed him back then. In that case, the Wheeler family wouldn't have been in so much trouble."

Manfred’s eyes widened. Madame Barker's face turned pale with anger. They knew that Frieda was arrogant, selfish, and unreasonable, but they did not expect her to be so thick-skinned.

Manfred took a deep breath. As a well-bred gentleman, he suppressed his urge to yell, but said in a calm voice, "Frieda, was it your idea to trick Yvette into going to the Wheeler family's house? You wanted Mr. Chancely to shift his attention to her from your granddaughter, right?

"No matter how much you cared about your granddaughter, you shouldn't have made my granddaughter suffer.

"You think Draxton should let it go as if nothing happened after the Wheelers almost ruined Yvette and Bella? How can you be so shameless?!"
