Chapter 485 ' Nonsense!" Denver and Lydia said in unison.
They looked at Edric angrily and said, "Where did this wild kid cfrom? How dare he spouts nonsense here! Bodyguard!" ' Don't get carried away. This young man has no reason to fryou here," Stanton sneered and stopped them.
Eileen's expression changed. She gritted her teeth and walked over to Edric’s side. She said to Stanton, "Mr.
Barker, I'm sorry. | shouldn't have framed you. I'm deeply sorry about this.” With that, she bowed deeply.
Then, she continued, "Joseph forced me. He said that if | didn't listen to him, he would kill my boyfriend. He even wanted to show those private photos of mine to my boyfriend. I really had no choice, so... Mr. and Mrs. Barker, | hope you can letoff." 'Since you can stand up now and tell the truth, we'll forgive you. After all, you're not the mastermind behind this matter," said Megan.
She looked at Denver and Lydia and said with a sneer, 'Lydia, should | overestimate you or look down on you? "Your husband did a nasty thing, yet you are still so protective of him. You are really a piece of work. |, Megan, admire you!" Her expression was mocking and sympathetic, making Lydia feel embarrassed. Denver was even more exasperated.
At this moment, Stanton said," Meg, there's no need to waste your breath on such people. Since the Page family dared to harm me, | won't be kind to them.
"I don't think there's a need for this Chamber of Commerce to go on. Mr. Anthony, | think you have your own judgment now that things have cto this point. However, | still have to say. the Page family and the Wheeler family shouldn't be your choices for partners, even if you haven't decided to cooperate with the Barker family." Anthony nodded in all seriousness. He looked at the Page family and Denver in disgust and said, "Mr. Stanton, what you said makes sense. | can't stay here anymore. You don’t mind if | leave with you, right?" "Sure!" Stanton said.
After saying that, he looked at Eileen and Edric. "If you trust me, then follow me. | promise to protect you." Edric and Eileen exchanged a glance with each other before they followed Stanton without hesitation. They were aware of the strength of the Page and Wheeler families. It was a piece of cake for the two families to take revenge on them.
If they followed the Barker family, they would be protected and safe.
Before Edric left, he glanced at Michael, who nodded slightly at him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEdric immediately took a hint.
Anthony and Arvid naturally left with Stanton.
The phone in Arvid’s hand was still on. He said to Isabella, Miraculous Doctor, are we meeting? | heard that you're also in Maestria." In the Barker family, Isabella said with a smile, "You even know this. It seems that you've done a lot of investigation. Yes, I'm in the Barker family. Cto the Barker family. We'll meet soon.
"But are you really happy to see me?" Isabella's tone was a little teasing.
Arvid was a little afraid of her. To be exact, he regarded her with reverence. Isabella knew it very well.
How could Arvid admit it? He patted his chest confidently and said, "How could that be..." On the phone, Isabella's expression suddenly turned terrifyingly serious. She shouted, 'Arvid, get down!" If it were anyone else, they might have doubted or hesitated for a moment. However, Arvid, like a big dog that had heard its master's order, fell forward without hesitation and lay down.
Sometimes, the subconscious reaction was the best way to show one's trust in another.
Arvid trusted Isabella without reservation.
But clearly, this trust had saved his life.
Just as Arvid fell to the ground, a bullet silently embedded itself into the ground in front of him.
Everyone was stricken dumb with amazement.
Stanton shouted, "Bodyguard!" Soon, a group of men in black rushed in, sof whom were brought by the Barker family, and swere brought by Anthony.
"Arvid, someone is targeting you and Anthony. Protect yourself." Isabella's voice sounded from the phone again.
Arvid's docile expression had already been replaced by a ferocious one that belonged to a wild beast. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it's not so easy to kill us!" Although their family had not been pirates for a long time, the ferocity in their bones and blood remained, and their years of sea voyages and business dealings did not make them lose their ferocity and strength.
Arvid got up from the ground and took out a gun from his waist.
They immediately looked at the Page and Wheeler families, only to find that they were also dumbfounded and completely helpless as if they did not know what had happened.
It wasn't they who did this! As this thought flashed through their mind, suddenly, sassassins in plain clothes rushed out from the crowd.
Sof the assassins were disguised as servants, sas guests, and swere hiding in the dark.
It was impossible to guard against.
Anthony hollered, "Everyone, cover your heads and squat down. Those who disobey will be killed!" As soon as he finished speaking, Anthony fired a few shots at the sky.
The guests in the hall screamed and clung together as they squatted down.
The one who didn't squat down was naturally the assassin.
In an instant, the business meeting turned into a bloodbath.
In the Barker family, Draxton quickly rose to his feet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsabella's expression was solemn.
She did not expect that Anthony and his son would be in trouble. If Arvid had not kept a video call with her, she would not have happened to see the bullet flying behind Arvid in the video.
"I think | saw a familiar figure,’ said Isabella, looking at Draxton.
As Draxton strode out, he said, "You're right. | saw it too. It's Jasper?" "Bring more people," Isabella hastily reminded.
Draxton said, Don't worry." Isabella watched him go out.
The countenance of Patriarch Barker and MadBarker changed. Patriarch Barker said solemnly, 'Bella, what happened?" Isabella said, "Grandpa, don't worry. Someone attempts to assassinate Anthony and his son. Draxton saw an acquaintance. He'll to go over there." "Who is it that makes Draxton go there personally? Bella, is it dangerous?’ MadBarker asked with concern.
Isabella said, "Nothing will happen. That person is no match for Draxton. I'm sure Draxton will bring Uncle and the others back safely." Still, her words didn't relieve Patriarch Barker and MadBarker.
Patriarch Barker stood up and said to Alfred, "Go, activate all security measures. Don't let even a fly in. Gather all the bodyguards and be on full alert." Patriarch Barker was indeed an old man who had dominated the business world for his entire life. At this moment, his caution was evident.
"Grandpa, are you afraid they'll target us by luring Draxton out of here?" Isabella asked.
Patriarch Barker said, "We have to be on guard. If it's just us, they might not take any action. But it's different with you and the children here." Isabella nodded slightly.
That was indeed the case.
Now that her pregnancy had consumed almost all her strength, it was likely that the enemy wanted to capture her or kill her to deal a blow to Draxton.
Moreover, Ricky and Betty were there.
