The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife (Isabella Thompson) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 The Heartless Riker Family

Bridget’s mind had collapsed. She couldn’t even think of defending herself now. She lowered her head, feeling

disheartened.

Lindon and the other members of the Riker family were stunned. They were all shocked by what they heard. Lindon smiled stiffly and said, “Draxton, Bridget is spouting nonsense. Ever since she was young, the Riker family has taught her to be virtuous, elegant, and magnanimous. She has the demeanor and bearing that a chieftain’s wife should have How can she not tolerate your son? There must be a misunderstanding!”

“There is indeed a misunderstanding,” Draxton said.

Lindon heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

However, Draxton said, “It’s not up to outsiders to talk about whether to tolerate my son. Mr. Riker, please mind your words.

Lindon was stunned, and so were the other members of the Riker family.

Lindon’s expression changed and he opened his mouth to retort. He felt that Draxton was too disrespectful to his elders. After all, he was Draxton’s future father-in-law.

However, Shane interrupted Lindon and said to Draxton, “Chieftain Lockwood, it’s indeed my uncle’s fault for using inappropriate words. However, my uncle doesn’t have any ill intentions. I hope you wouldn’t hold it against him.

“Also, we all know of Bridget’s personality since she was young. She’s very kind, and she especially likes children. How could she hurt the boy? She’s just talking nonsense, right?”

Draxton looked at the future heir of the Riker family without saying a word. There was not a trace of emotion on his face.

Silas thought to himself, “Fortunately, the Riker family finally has someone with a brain.”

Draxton said coldly, “Just ask her if she’s talking nonsense.

Bridget looked at Shane in horror. Her face was pale and she was covered in cold sweat. She shook her head repeatedly.

Shane’s eyes flashed. Although he did not know why Bridget had become like this, he understood the fear in her eyes.

He couldn’t help but frown and said worriedly, “Chieftain Lockwood, I think Bridget’s condition isn’t right. Why don’t we let her go for a checkup? If there’s anything, it won’t be too late to ask later.”

Bridget could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Draxton said coldly, “She tried to kill my son. Do you think this is just a joke?”

He looked at Shane with a deep gaze, thinking that the heir of the Riker family was indeed interesting. However, it was still up to Draxton to see if they were allowed to let the matter slide.

Shane’s body stiffened. A murderous look appeared in Draxton’s eyes. “Bridget Riker wanted to kill my son. Do you think the Lockwood family is such a pushover?”

“Chieftain Lockwood, there must be a misunderstanding. Our families have been friends for so many years. Don’t get into an argument just because of a misunderstanding. Let’s sit down and talk…”

Shane said quickly.

Draxton ignored him and stared at Bridget. He ordered, “Bridget, repeat what you said before.” Bridget trembled. Even though she was extremely unhappy, she still poured out the truth.

“I wanted to kill Isabella and her son. As long as they die, I can marry into the Lockwood family, and my child will be the future chieftain of the Lockwood family. In the future, when Draxton dies, I will be the overlord of the Lockwood family…

That was terrifying to hear..

As soon as she said that, everyone gasped.

The Riker family’s expression changed. They wanted to stop her, but Bridget seemed to have gone crazy. Her face twisted as she continued to tell the truth.

After all, they were the ones who wanted to scheme against the Lockwood family.

Patriarch Riker had already woken up. When he saw everyone, his face was contorted with anger, but he was even more afraid than angry.

Although he had been laughing non-stop previously, he knew what Bridget had said.

Draxton stood in front of Patriarch Riker’s bed and looked down at him. “Patriarch Riker, I don’t have much time to waste here. Bridget intends to hurt my son. She will definitely pay the price for intending to bring. harm to the successor of the Lockwood family, and the Riker family won’t be spared either. Now, let me know your stand on the matter.”

Bridget’s expression changed. She looked in Patriarch Riker’s direction with bloodshot eyes.

Patriarch Riker closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the warmth in his eyes had completely faded, turning into endless coldness.

“Bridget is no longer a member of the Riker family. She deserves whatever Chieftain Lockwood wants to do

with her!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Riker family changed, but they didn’t say anything. Even Lindon, Bridget’s biological father, only blinked and avoided Bridget’s gaze.

Seeing that, the corners of Bridget’s lips curled up strangely, and the look in her eyes gradually turned cold. She had always known that the Riker family put their own interests before anything else. Although they were family, there was no sense of kinship at all. However, when that coldness got directed to her, Bridget still felt

that it was so ridiculous.

A cold light flashed in her eyes. She figured since the Riker family was so heartless, then they can’t blame her for being heartless as well.

Her fingers moved slightly, and her thumb pressed the ring on her index finger.
