Chapter 138

Michael thought that he had already said it, so the  other uncles definitely wouldn't fight him anymore, and the matter of the divorce would be dropped.

But he really underestimated how much the Wilsons valued Isabella.

As soon as he finished speaking, Atticus strode over to them, pulling Holden aside.

He yanked him to the side. "He's trained in combat, Holden, you underestimated him. I'll take over!"

Then, he took off his suit jacket, stretched his neck, and nodded at Michael. "Michael, let's have a match!"

"Uncle Atticus, please!" Knowing he couldn't avoid it, Michael had no choice but to brace himself for the fight.

As the fight began, Atticus had the upper hand.

But as Michael slowly figured out Atticus' moves, he seized an opportunity after just a few rounds and took Atticus down with a beautiful shoulder throw.

When he floored Atticus, Michael intentionally lessened his strength.

He was only forced to fight; he didn't really want to injure Isabella's uncles.

Seeing the Wilson Family lost again, the remaining three were furious and asked Thomas, "Thomas, why didn't you tell us Michael was this good at fighting? Even Atticus got taken down."

In the minds of the four brothers, Atticus was someone who had come out of the special forces and later rose to the rank of an officer.

Over the years, he had been involved in peacekeeping missions abroad, counter-terrorism, and had seen it all. Taking down someone like Michael, a rich kid, should have been a piece of cake.

But the truth was right in front of them, and they had forgotten that it was over a decade ago.

Atticus was now approaching forty. While he had undergone significant training in the special forces early on, he had since become the one giving orders.

Nearly a decade of without fighting had left his combat reflexes no match for the agility of twenty-something Michael.

Michael used technique and physical agility, which allowed him to quickly react after seeing through Atticus's moves, leading Atticus to have no choice but to admit defeat.

The remaining three brothers couldn't believe Michael was this good at fighting and disregarded fairness, each taking turns to challenge him.

The result was Michael winning 5-0.

Losing so disgracefully, the Wilson Family' sons were very unwilling, but the rules were set by them from the start. Now that they couldn't win, they couldn't shamelessly say it didn't count, right?

They also lost their stance on supporting Isabella's divorce.

Seeing the uncles in front of him with sullen faces, Michael knew he had gone too far.

But since it concerned whether his marriage could continue, he wouldn't back down.

Now, he only hoped to persuade these uncles to agree that Isabella wouldn't divorce him. "Uncles, I understand the purpose of your visit, but we had an agreement. I hope you will honor your word and not bring up the divorce between Isabella and me again. I still have unfinished business. If there's nothing else, please leave," Michael directly asked them to leave.

The Wilsons' sons looked at each other. They couldn't win the fight and lost the right to negotiate, so staying here was indeed meaningless, but they couldn't just leave.

Isabella's future couldn't be tied to Michael, who didn't love her. Moreover, if they left like this, how would they explain it to Isabella?

Thomas, who knew the most about Isabella and Michael's marriage, couldn't give up Isabella's happiness, even if it meant he would lose face.

"Michael, we came here today to get an explanation for Isabella. You must give us an answer today, or no one can move us!" As he spoke, he glanced at the thick stack of unfinished files on Michael's desk.

He smirked, threatening Michael openly. "You heard my father's instructions at Isabella's birthday party. Now, the Wilson Group is fully in Isabella's hands. The five of us are quite free, but you are different. The Wilson Group can operate without us, but I wonder how long the Brown Group can last without you?"

He was sure Michael wouldn't dare do anything to them.

Michael's wound was already starting to hurt. He took a deep breath, not showing any sign of it on his face. "Uncles, what kind of explanation do you want?"

"I've already said, Isabella and I will never divorce. She is my wife, and that will never change. Even if you force us apart, as long as we officially divorced, anyone who dares to touch her will be an enemy of the Brown Family. Do you think anyone would dare to marry her?" Michael's voice was calm, but the intimidation in his words was undeniable.

The Wilson Family brothers were almost infuriated by him. But they had to admit, Michael, though arrogant, had the power and status to back it up.

Even with the Wilson Family as Isabella's support, as long as Michael's name was mentioned, no man would dare to get involved with her.

Looking around, the only family that could rival the Brown Family was the Wilson Family.

But the elders of both families supported the marriage and were eager for them to have a child.

Now, Isabella was trapped in this relationship, unable to move. But this couldn't go on; it would only make Isabella suffer.

Orion, who had lived abroad for years, squinted and retorted, "TheBrown Family may be powerful here, but who says Isabella has to live here? After the divorce, we'll take Isabella abroad to find a foreign man to spend her life with. What can you do about it?"

Hearing them talk about taking Isabella away, a dark light flashed in Michael's eyes.

He wouldn't let Isabella have the chance to leave him. "Uncles, you probably don't know, Isabella holds fifty-five percent of the Brown Group's shares. Strictly speaking, her status is above mine; she is the owner of the Brown Group. No matter where she goes, she is a Brown, and no one can change that."

Meanwhile.

Meanwhile, Aaron, who kept calling outside, finally heard a sleepy voice on the other end on his thirty-ninth call.

"Who is it?" Hearing Isabella's voice, Aaron's heart almost jumped out of his throat with excitement.

Before Isabella could react, Aaron told her everything that was happening.

There had already been sounds of fighting inside. If Isabella didn't come soon, Michael might really need an ambulance.

Isabella was stunned for a full three seconds before she gathered her thoughts. "You said my uncles went to find Michael?"
