The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella)
Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Patriarch Riker 2

Patriarch was not being unreasonable. He had investigated Isabella's background. Patriarch knew Isabella was the Lang family's daughter, but the Thompson family swapped her away. Patriarch thought, "Isabella had disappeared for five years, and she brought a child with her when she returned. I suppose that Draxton had an affair with Isabella five years ago and gave a child to Isabella."

Patriarch tried to investigate where Isabella went and what she did in the five years, but he failed to find anything.

Patriarch thought that Draxton would consider Isabella as his mistress and would not pay too much attention to Isabella's child. After all, that child was illegitimate. Patriarch said inside, "Draxton has not messed up with other dirty women in these years. He can be considered celibate to some extent. Almost every man with power and high social status has several women.

"I did not expect that a few days ago, Philip chose to protect Isabella Thompson even if everything would go online. From then on, I decided to pay more attention to this matter

"I can tell that the seniors of the Lockwood family all care about Isabella and claim that she is the Lockwood family's daughter-in-law.

"If so, what about my Bridget?"

Hearing Patriarch's words, Isabella just raised her eyebrows with interest. However, Olivia took back her smile a little and said, "I call you Mr. Riker because you're a senior. Who can be the Lockwood family's daughter-in-law is our family business. Please stay out of line, okay?"

When Patriarch heard this, his expression suddenly changed. Patriarch glared at Olivia with his turbid eyes and snorted, saying, "The Lockwood family has spoiled you. Olivia, how can you talk to a senior in this way?

"What?" Olivia could not tolerate Patriarch's attitude. She sneered and said, "The seniors I respect are with the surname Lockwood, not Riker!"

Patriarch got annoyed and shouted, "Even your brother Draxton has to behave in front of me!"

Olivia's eyes widened in surprise, and she said, "My brother doesn't even behave himself in front of my grandpa. Could it be that you deserve more respect than my grandpa?"

Olivia rolled her eyes and cried inside, "Oh my gosh. This old guy is taking himself too seriously. Perhaps he is delusional?

"Does Patriarch have no idea that the Lockwood family knows what exactly the Riker family wants?

"First, my brother has a wife now. Even if my brother was not married, the Lockwood family would never want a member of the Riker family to be my brother's wife.

"The Riker family had planned to marry a member to a member of the Lockwood family more than 20 years ago. Over the years, the Riker family kept spreading rumors that Bridget would be the future wife of the Lockwood family's chieftain. The Riker family had also been cultivating Bridget based on the requirements of the wife of the Lockwood family's chieftain.

"Did the Riker family hear us say yes?"

In these years, almost everyone tacitly agreed that the Lockwood family and the Riker family were relatives by marriage. Nonetheless, a few people knew that the Lockwood family was not easy to deal with. Patriarch angrily shouted, "You... I'll talk with Old Man Lockwood about how he teaches his granddaughter."

Patriarch thought, "My granddaughter is outstanding, sensible, gentle, and polite. This Olivia is ridiculous. The Riker family does way much better in teaching children than the Lockwood family. "Grandpa!" A gentle and calm voice sounded from behind. Patriarch turned around and saw Bridget Riker elegantly walking over

Bridget was wearing a beige windbreaker, with two bodyguards following behind her. As she arrived, the bodyguards behind Patriarch all looked at Bridget respectfully. Anyone could tell that Bridget was an important person in the Riker family.

Bridget indeed deserved the respect of the people. Bridget secretly established an organization named Skydragon. She was the successor of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, obtaining superb medical skills. In the eyes of ordinary people, Bridget had outstanding medical skills and was excellent in all aspects. Any of these was enough to help Bridget to win the respect of others. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Most importantly, everyone in the Riker family treated Bridget as the future wife of the Lockwood family's chieftain. Even the Riker family's heir had to be polite to Bridget. Patriarch's anger disappeared a little after he saw his beloved granddaughter. Patriarch asked, "Bridget, why are you here?"

Bridget replied, "Hi, Grandpa. Mr. Noverson and my senior brother have arrived. Let's go meet them."

As she spoke, Bridget glanced at Isabella. Everyone could see the hatred in Bridget's eyes.

Bridget would never forget how Isabella humiliated her. The last time they met, Isabella pushed Bridget onto the ground and stepped on Bridget's face.

Bridget did not dare to mention that humiliation to her family because she did not want her family to consider her weak. Bridget knew better than anyone else how realistic the Riker family was. If Bridget was not the future wife of the Lockwood family's chieftain or if she was not outstanding, the Riker family would not even notice her. For the Riker family, Bridget's only use was to get into an arranged marriage with the Lockwood family to obtain more benefits.

Patriarch angrily looked at Isabella. He came here to have lunch. When he saw Isabella and Olivia enter the washroom, he decided to block them on the way.

Patriarch was going to take the opportunity to clear the obstacles for his granddaughter by threatening Isabella to leave the Lockwood family. He did not expect Olivia to protect Isabella all the time. Patriarch was shocked that Olivia was so arrogant. Patriarch gloomily looked at Olivia and Isabella, thinking, "I will visit Old Man Lockwood someday to talk about this.

"Old Man Lockwood has to spend more time cultivating his granddaughter.

"What's more, Philip and his wife are protecting Isabella all the time. Isabella is just a nobody, without money

a decent social status. Do they think Isabella can become the future wife of the Lockwood family's chieftain just because she has Draxton's child?

"Has the Lockwood family forgotten my granddaughter? Bridget should be the future wife of the Lockwood family's chieftain!"

Patriarch blinked his eyes and continued his thought, "My granddaughter and Draxton are not kids anymore. It is time for them to get married. I have to talk about this with Old Man Lockwood someday. "At the same time, I will ask him to teach the girls in his family. Girls should be gentle and obedient."

Patriarch glanced at Olivia. Then he turned around and left with Bridget.

As soon as they left, Isabella laughed and said, "Olivia, is this Mr. Riker out of his mind?"

Olivia was very angry at first. However, when she saw that Isabella did not care at all, Olivia controlled her emotion. Olivia stomped her feet and said. "Isabella, how can you even laugh out? Did you hear those words coming out from that old guy? I'm pissed off."

Isabella patted Olivia's head lovingly and comforted, "He is just a random person on the street. There is no need to be angry at him."

Olivia felt shy when she was being patted by Isabella. She looked at Isabella with sparkling eyes. Olivia thought, "It seems that Isabella loves me more than my brother."

Isabella continued with a smile, "Besides, it's not the first time I've seen Bridget. Last time, I rubbed her face on the ground."

Olivia was shocked and opened wide her eyes, asking, "Isabella, did you really do that?"

Isabella nodded with a smile and replied, "It is true. Bridget's just a nobody."

Olivia said, "Isabella, you're awesome. Do you know that? Bridget Riker is so fake about everything and calls herself the future Mrs. Lockwood. Her drama makes me so sick. No, everyone in the Riker family has a lot of drama."
