Chapter 458

Isabella and Draxton were right. Jerico did not escape at all because there was no way he could leave Lucsia. No one could escape the Lockwood family’s hunting in Lucsia unless there was a miracle.

When Draxton offered to play the game, he did not mean to let Jerico go. He just wanted to tease him, get back at him, and torture him.

Jerico found a place to hide and let his subordinates distract the Lockwood family’s men. Even so, he had a hard time the whole day.

Late at night, he returned to the Wheeler family’s residence under the escort of his two subordinates.

In the dark, a few North Star members were watching coldly without alarming Jerico.

Frieda and Patriarch Wheeler were in low spirits the whole day. They were dealt with a heavy blow after they made a scene at the Barker family’s house this morning. Frieda felt even worse than Patriarch Wheeler. She was so angry that she fell ill after returning home.

In the afternoon, the Wheeler family suddenly received a piece of grievous news. The Barker family announced that they would refuse to cooperate with anyone who had business collaborations with the Wheeler family in the future.

In addition to this, the news of the President abandoning the Wheeler family got out.

The Wheeler family’s business partners became hesitant.

There were also people who didn’t believe that the Wheeler family would be taken down with the support of the Flouder family, so they had no plan to terminate the cooperation with them.

However, most people were smart and conservative, unwilling to take any risks. After their partners terminated or delayed their cooperation with them one by one, the Wheeler family’s huge business empire stopped working and things became really tough.

Patriarch Wheeler was so angry and worried that he fainted immediately at the news. Fortunately, the Wheeler family still had Denver and Yax dealing with the hassle.

Later, Michael joined them.

The three of them temporarily kept the family from falling.

Even so, the Wheelers are in a difficult situation. If they wanted their business to return to normal, they had to make the Barker family take back their words. But how was that possible?
