Chapter 74 Mercenari Uno
Isabella chuckled. “She’s just a clown. Ignore him.”
Emily asked, “Isabella, are you jealous?”
She looked nosy.
Isabella couldn’t help but laughed as she looked at Emily and said, “No, Bridget isn’t worthy of my jealousy. She’s beneath me. Didn’t I say that she was just a clown?”
They chatted and laughed as they returned to the private room. For a moment, there was laughter.
Compared to their joy, the Riker family’s side seemed a little strange and quiet.
When Patriarch Riker and Bridget returned to the private room, they saw a blond stranger and an enchanting young man with fox-like eyes already sitting in the private room.
Seeing them, the two of them stood up with a smile. “Patriarch Riker, I’m so happy to see you!”
The enchanting young man smiled and introduced, “Patriarch Riker, this is Marvin Noverson, the third son of the Noverson Family.”
Patriarch Riker smiled kindly and said politely, “You’re really young and promising, Mr. Noverson. I’m very happy to see you.”
Marvin smiled and said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you too, Patriarch Riker.”
That suaveness really hit home somehow.
Patriarch Riker was clearly surprised. Then, his smile became even brighter. “Mr. Noverson, Jason, please have a seat.”
He spoke as he sat down first. Marvin and the enchanting man also sat down. Bridget sat beside Patriarch Riker and said to the enchanting man, “Senior brother, why didn’t master come back with you?”
The enchanting man’s name was Jacob Kingston. He was Carlo Orwells’s other disciple and Bridget’s senior
brother.
Both of them were Carlos’s disciples, but Bridget was more talented than Jacob in medicine and poison-making. Jacob was more interested in business, so Jacob gave up on inheriting Carlos’s position and became a businessman.
He met Marvin in business.
In fact, the relationship between Jacob and Marvin was not as simple as just being business partners. The business interests between the two had gotten so entangled that it reached an inseparable point.
Marvin looked slow and elegant. He spoke very directly to Patriarch Riker. “Patriarch Riker, I have internal news. If I tell you, you will definitely be shocked. Draxton Lockwood, the Lockwood family chieftain. It’s very likely that he won’t be able to come back alive!”
Patriarch Riker and Bridget’s expressions changed. Patriarch Riker said in shock, “Are you serious?”
The first thought that flashed through Bridget’s mind was, wondering if Draxton died, what would happen to her.
She wondered if she would be unable to become the future mistress of the Lockwood family.
Other than that, she was also a little happy. With Draxton dead, Isabella would no longer have a backer!
Jacob glanced at Bridget and said to Patriarch Riker, “Patriarch Riker, it’s true.
“A few days ago, Draxton had brought the Lockwood family’s Executive Department and Department of War overseas to take the Star of Cold Light. They had been poisoned by The Spider’s poisonous smoke.
“Everyone knew that The Spider was an international secret organization that was infamous for its use of poison. As long as they were paid enough, there was no target that they could not poison.
“Even Draxton can’t escape The Spider’s poison.”
Patriarch Riker was shocked. His eyes flashed and his expression turned extremely dark.
He had already calculated deep down what would happen to the Lockwood family if Draxton died, and what the Riker family could gain from the fiasco.

Bridget muttered, “Is he really dead? But what if he comes back alive?”
