Chapter 461 As they had guests at home, Frieda and Patriarch Wheeler got up early the next morning.
So did Erica. As soon as she got up, she asked the servants to prepare a hearty breakfast.
Frieda and Patriarch Wheeler went downstairs and nodded in satisfaction. In a good mood, Frieda had a smile on her face as she spoke.
‘ Erica, thank you for your hard work. Fortunately, you cback to help. Otherwise, your sister-in-law Lydia wouldn't have been able to take care of all this alone." ' Mom, what are you talking about? I'm your daughter. Lydia went to the office early in the morning to send breakfast to Denver and Yax. She was worried because they didn’t cback last night." ' Alas, | wonder how the company is doing." Patriarch Wheeler sighed.
Frieda said. Hubby, why are you sighing? When we send Mr. Chancely back to Southeast Aelinne, Draxton is dead meat.
"The Barker family is nothing without Draxton. President will definitely be pleased to hear the news. Then he might take us seriously again. That's when the Wheeler family rises!" Patriarch Wheeler didn't say anything, but he looked like he thought the sway.
Erica said cheerfully, "Dad, Mom, when the Wheeler family surpasses the Lockwood family, I'll let Philip kneel in front ofand apologize!" She was still mad at Philip. Though it had been more than 20 years, she had not let it go yet.
Erica did not think she was inferior to Jeanne in every aspect, but Philip thought less of her. She would trample that man's pride under her feet one day. As forJeanne. pm The three of them chatted for a while, picturing the bright future of the Wheeler family. Patriarch Wheeler said, "Erica, go check out if Mr. Chancely has woken up. Ask him down for breakfast. We'll discuss business together after breakfast." Erica nodded. When she walked past Shelly's room, she saw that the door was closed and it was very quiet inside.
Shelly was usually still asleep at this time. Instead of waking her up. Erica went straight to the guest room.

She was about to knock when the door of the guest room opened from the inside.
Jerico and his subordinates walked out, dressed neatly.
The three of them had smiles on their glowing faces, obviously having a good rest last night.
Erica was delighted to see them in a good mood. She asked with a smile, Mr. Chancely, you got up so early! Did you sleep well last night?" The room was quiet.
Erica knocked again and asked, "Shelly, are you awake? Get up." Still, no one responded.
Erica muttered with a frown, "Why is the kid still asleep at this hour?" She twisted the doorknob unwittingly. Next, the door opened.
A trace of doubt flashed across Erica's eyes. When she was here last night, Shelly's door was locked from the inside. Why was it unlocked now? Could it be that Shelly had gone out while she was not watching? ' Did the kid secretly return to the Flouder family's house?" Erica wondered.
If Shelly dared to talk nonsense in front of Micahel, she would definitely not let her off.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Erica's mind. As soon as she entered Shelly's room, she look in the direction of the bed.
At the sight of her daughter. Erica froze on the spot, her eyes wide open in shock.
She couldn't help but scream. With her head buzzing, she felt cold deep to the bones.
When she cto her senses, she pounced on the bed and stared at her daughter, who was in a daze with bruises all over, heartbroken.
Watching Jerico and the other two walk towards the study with Patriarch Wheeler, she got up and went to Shelly's room.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered.
The room was quiet.
Erica knocked again and asked, "Shelly, are you awake? Get up." Still, no one responded.

She couldn't help but scream. With her head buzzing, she felt cold deep to the bones.
When she cto her senses, she pounced on the bed and stared at her daughter, who was in a daze with bruises all over, heartbroken.
"Shelly, how did you beclike this? What happened?" Erica reached out her trembling hand, but she did not dare to touch Shelly because she was injured so badly.
Shelly looked blankly ahead, her eyes wide open. It seemed like she had not blinked for a long time.
When Erica saw the tearstains at the corners of Shelly's bloodshot eyes, she felt herself slipping into meltdown mode. "Ahhhh! Shelly! Ahhh..." Erica's body swayed and she fell to the floor. Covering her head with her hands, she felt her mind go blank and she had no idea what to do. The servants heard her scream and rushed over.
"Mrs. Flouder, what's wrong?" A maid hurried in.
"Get out! Get out!" Erica suddenly roared hysterically. She got up from the floor and kicked the maid out.
However, the maid had already seen Shelly on the bed. She was stunned and walked out in a daze.
Frieda, who was standing at the door of the study with a gloomy face, asked sternly, ‘What's wrong? Why are you screaming?’ The maid looked at Frieda in a panic. Her lips trembled and she could not utter a word.
At this moment, Erica ran out and shouted anxiously, "Doctor! Get the doctor here! Ambulance! Call an ambulance!" The stern look in Frieda’s eyes was replaced by worry. She looked at Erica and asked in a high-pitched voice, "Erica, what happened? Why did you call an ambulance? Is Shelly sick?" Only then did Erica notice Frieda and turn to her.
Frieda was shocked by her bloodshot eyes. "Why are you like this?" she scolded.
Despite what she said, Frieda felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but walk up to Erica.
