The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

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.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

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.

"I almost killed that little mutt, but Draxton appeared in time. Damn it. Shouldn't he be all weak after being poisoned? Why is he fine? That bitch Isabella must have saved him. She dares to ruin my plans. I'll definitely

kill her..."

"Bridget Shane scolded sternly.

Lindon even wanted to go forward and slap Bridget to wake her up.

However, they were stopped by the guards of the Lockwood family. They could not get close to Bridget at all.

"I don't want to say any of this either, but I can't control myself. Dad, didn't you and grandpa tell me since I was young that I would definitely be the chieftain's wife of the Lockwood family? Now that Draxton has another woman, of course I have to get rid of her. Only I can be the mother of the successor of the Lockwood family. Isn't that what you said? I'm doing this for the Riker family..."

The Riker family was shocked. Even Shane was stunned.

No matter how much they didn't understand what had happened, they all knew that Bridget was abnormal. "Draxton, listen to us. Well... Something is obviously wrong with Bridget. You can't believe what she said. You just can't..." Lindon said in horror.

These words, those unbearable words, were utterly bone-chilling to hear.

Draxton's gaze was cold. He ignored the Riker family and turned to walk into the hospital.

The doctor pushed Patriarch Riker out of the emergency room.

Silas looked at the frightened Riker family members and said indifferently, "Ladies and gentlemen, none of this is a joking matter, no matter how one takes a joke. You only say such things when you have such thoughts in your hearts. Usually, if you don't say it, it means that you know how to hide it. Now that you say all this, isn't this the truest expression of your heart?"

The expressions of the Riker family members were extremely ugly.

They knew that Silas was right, but they couldn't afford to admit to any of it.

It was true that the Riker family had despicable thoughts, but they couldn't afford to let the Lockwood family hear them in broad daylight without a doubt.

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.
