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

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.
