Chapter 153 The Riker Family Is Done For
Draxton lowered her head and quietly looked at the golden butterfly. It was really beautiful.
However, he was absolutely unaware that this golden butterfly was Isabella’s life. The fact that she gave it to him meant giving her life to him.
Bridget had lost all her strength at this point. She collapsed to the ground and looked at the butterfly in shock, then at Isabella.
Isabella looked at her, then smiled.
“Miss Riker is a very merciless one. To be safe, break her limbs first, and make sure they can’t be reattached.”
Isabella said.
When Silas heard this, she immediately nodded and stepped forward without hesitation. There were a few cracking sounds, followed by Bridget’s painful screams. Not long after, her hands and feet were limping on the floor.
Bridget fainted from the pain.
At this moment, the people in the banquet hall finally realized what had just happened. Most of them were so frightened that they did not dare to make a sound. They hid in a corner and trembled, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Patriarch Riker was furious, he panted heavily and said, “Draxton, what’s the meaning of this? Do you have utterly no respect for me? I need to have a talk with your grandpa. No, I need to reason with him!”
Draxton held the golden butterfly in one hand and gently stroked its wings with the other. When he heard this, he only raised his eyelids casually and smiled mockingly.
Silas sneered and said, “Patriarch, you must be too old that you’re getting senile. The Lockwood family listens to only the patriarch’s commands. What’s the use of talking to my grandpa?
“Wait, no, I should ask you this. How dare you see my grandpa? Do you not have shame?
Your granddaughter, Bridget, first tried to hurt our young master and young lady. A week ago, she even ordered her puppet to attempt to kill them. How much of all those things were ordered by you?” Patriarch Riker was at a loss for words for a moment, then finally figured out what to say and yelled, “Nonsense. I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. You Lockwood family are way over the line, how dare you come to my birthday banquet and cause a Scene? Draxton, you’re a sight for sore eyes!” Draxton said, “I know that today is your birthday, so I, the patriarch, personally came to give you a birthday gift.”
His slender fingers stroked the golden butterfly rhythmically, again and again.
The golden butterfly seemed to be enjoying it. It stopped at Draxton’s fingertips and did not move, looking a little docile and obedient.
Patriarch Riker’s pupils constricted as he looked at Draxton warily. “A gift? Well, let’s see what grand gift you’ve got for me!
But before that, why don’t you explain what you plan to do after injuring Bridget so badly?”
Draxton said, “So badly? I only crippled her, what she did is enough for me to kill her a hundred times over.” Patriarch Riker’s eyes flashed. If sacrificing a granddaughter could ease the relationship between the Lockwood and Riker families, it would be worth it. However, he could not figure out what Draxton was going to do next.
Draxton looked at Patriarch with a hint of mockery in his eyes. At this moment, Isabella said,
“As far as I know, Bridget tried to use the Love Bug on Olivia and Yale. It seems that the Riker family really wants to have a marriage with the Lockwood family. However, she does seem to be in quite a hurry to use even the Love Bug.
Draxton’s fingers that were stroking the golden butterfly paused for a moment. When he started stroking it again, he used slightly more strength. The golden butterfly’s body tilted from the touch and almost fell. Draxton was oblivious, but the golden butterfly was clearly unhappy. It angrily bit Draxton’s finger, and a drop
of blood immediately appeared. The golden butterfly proudly swayed its butt and flew back to Isabella, ignoring Draxton
Draxton looked at the small drop of blood on his fingertip. He had no time to be bothered by such a small wound and quickly looked at Isabella.
Isabella put away the golden butterfly and gave Draxton a glare.
Draxton was speechless.
He looked innocent. What did I do wrong?”
Patriarch did not notice the tiny interactions between them. With the thought of abandoning Bridget, he said,
“Draxton, I didn’t know anything about all these. These are all Bridget’s own decisions after she returned. It’s all because I didn’t discipline her well. It’s only right for you to blame me.
However, I’m your elder after all. Don’t you think it’s a little inappropriate for you to make such a huge fuss at my birthday?”
Ethan looked at his grandpa in disbelief. ‘Did he just decide to abandon Bridget?”
Although his cousin, Bridget, had done something wrong, he did not expect his grandpa to abandon her so easily.
