Chapter 462
Frieda was a bit annoyed, but she knew that Erica was temperamentally cool and collected, and she wouldn't have screamed if nothing happened. Thinking of this, she struggled to hold back her anger.
Erica watched Frieda enter the room in a daze, her eyes bloodshot. The next second, she heard Frieda scream as well.
Frieda looked at Shelly on the bed in shock. All of the blood in her body rushed to her brain. Her head spun and she fell to the floor.
Erica did not help her up. She stared blankly at Frieda and mumbled, "Mom, it's Mr. Chancely. Mom..."
Frieda was completely dumbfounded.
The commotion caught Patriarch Wheeler’s attention. He looked at Jerico apologetically and said, "Mr. Chancely, I'm sorry. I'll go check out what they're screaming for."
Judging from Erica and Frieda's miserable screams, Patriarch Wheeler could tell that something was wrong. He would not feel assured if he did not go take a look.
Jerico's two subordinates were standing behind him now. Their eyes shone with excitement as if they could not wait to watch a big show.
Jerico smiled meaningfully and stood up. "Why don't we go take a look together?"
Patriarch Wheeler hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Jerico and the other two had already walked out, he thought it would be inappropriate to stop them, so he just followed them out.
Erica was standing at the door. When she saw Patriarch Wheeler walk over with Jerico and his men, her bloodshot eyes were filled with horror instantly.
She shrieked and rushed into the room like a lunatic. After covering Shelly with a blanket, she opened her arms in front of the bed, staring at the door warily.
Patriarch Wheeler frowned. Though he already figured that something was wrong, his face turned pale at the sight of Shelly.
Erica tried to block his view, but he still saw everything on the bed clearly.
He could tell what had happened without a second thought.
Patriarch Wheeler looked at Jerico in disbelief.
Jerico looked at the girl on the bed with a smile and said teasingly, 'Mr. Wheeler, why are you looking at me like that? You should know I'm into Miss Flouder, right?
"I once clearly expressed my feelings for Miss Flouder. What's the big deal for us to spend a night with her?
' Besides, since we're going to work together, we're family. It would happen sooner or later."
Patriarch Wheeler stared at Jerico, his bloodshot eyes wide open.
' You, you..." Erica's head buzzed when she heard the word "us". "So, the three of you...’
She looked at Jerico's subordinates behind him, her eyes darting fire.
However, the two men did not panic but smiled cheekily at her.
Erica was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Her heart ached and tears popped out in an instant.
Frieda was still sitting on the floor, staring blankly at Jerico and his men.
Jerico smiled and said, "Why are you so surprised? My subordinates had been through a lot with me. How could I have fun without them?
' What's more, Miss Flouder herself had no objection. Mr. Wheeler, we are family now. Let's discuss business."
' No!' Erica screamed and roared, "You ruined my daughter. How could you make such an understatement?!"
Jerico looked at her in surprise. The Wheelers should know who I am. I thought you all knew what I would do!"
Erica froze on the spot.
Erica left with the doctors, but before she went downstairs, she heard Patriarch Wheeler say with a sigh, "What's done is done. We can't terminate the cooperation between us simply because of this..."
Erica stopped in her tracks, hatred rising from her heart. But she did not have time to do anything for now, so she just followed the doctors into the ambulance.
Erica held her phone tightly, wanting to call Michael, but she did not know how to tell him about this.
"Haha! Mr. Wheeler, you're indeed a person who will achieve something big. Let's continue our discussion then," said Jerico.
Frieda's face was twisted. Patriarch Wheeler looked at her and said, "Frieda, Shelly will be fine."
He winked at Frieda and continued, "The first priority right now is to get rid of Draxton. Only then can we make it up to Shelly."
Frieda was stunned. She thought about it and realized that it made sense. Shelly had lost her chastity. Even if they turned on Jerico, nothing could be changed. What's more, they would lose the chance to take down the Lockwood family.
That was what people were like. The greater the price they paid, the less they wanted to give up.
Now, the Wheeler family was subjected to Jerico. There was no going back.
Frieda closed her eyes hard. A while later, she opened her eyes and slowly got up from the floor. "Alright, as long as Mr. Chancely can kill Draxton...’
In the meanwhile, Erica arrived at the hospital. Looking at the closed door of the emergency room, she could not hold back her tears anymore. She dialed Michael's number with her trembling hand.
Yvette went out after having breakfast with her family.
Isabella poked Hector and asked, Where did your sister go? She looked a bit nervous, and she didn't even tell anyone about where she was going.’
Hector looked around sneakily. When he saw that the elders were not paying attention to them, he moved closer and whispered to Isabella, "I'm telling you, but don't tell my cousin.’
Isabella raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Is she in a relationship?" Hector's eyes widened in shock. "Is that so obvious?"
