Chapter 38 The True Leader

They thanked Bridget and left the place heavy-heartedly.

None of them knew how angry their chieftain would be this time.

After Alan and Martin left, Bridget’s expression turned gloomy.

Murderous intent and anger overpowered her.

Draxton had betrayed her and was with another woman, which placed her in an embarrassing situation.

She had always taken herself as the future chieftain’s wife of the Lockwood family. At least, that was what the Riker family had taught her since she was young.

To become a qualified wife of the Lockwood family’s chieftain, she had received the most rigorous education since childhood. Yet, she was told someone from nowhere was trying to snatch her position.

How could she allow that to happen?

She looked at the metal button on the floor. Her gaze turned cold and malicious.

Obviously, that woman was not a useless woman like Martin and Alan claimed her to be. Instead, she might be competent.

She could not help herself from glancing back at Harper and the others upon thinking that. They were still standing and lying stiff there, looking at her with hope.

“Miss Riker, you can save us, right?”

Bridget hid her malicious intent and said, “I will try my best. I will find the woman as soon as possible if I can do nothing.

“Tell me more about that woman.”

Bridget studied the technique used to freeze Harper and his men as she asked questions.

Harper and the others told Bridget about everything outstanding features of Isabella.

But Bridget still could not help them with the seal even after they finished speaking.

“Miss Riker, that woman just pressed a few times on our acupoints.”

To them, Bridget was great, and it would not be a problem for her to break the seal on them.

Bridget had studied it for a long time, yet she could only give up. So, she started to feel scared by the woman.

“Did she go to the underground?” Bridget asked in displeasure.

Harper and the others realized Bridget could not break the seal that Isabella had put on them. Soon, their eyes flashed with disappointment, but they quickly hid it.

They always thought Bridget was the best. At least, that was what Bridget had been showing them.

But they realized at last that more powerful people were out there.

“Miss Riker, that woman found the hidden passage herself. She pushed away the sofa and found the button.” Harper thought he should explain.

“Okay,” Bridget said.

After a pause, she said, “Don’t worry. Although I can’t help you with the situation, I know this technique will unlock itself in a few hours. Don’t worry too much.”

Harper and the others were displeased with that answer and thought, “It’s fine if you can’t help us. There is no need to say something like that!”

They already knew that they would be freed in a few hours because Isabella had told them that.

But what they wanted was to be freed now!

Bridget glanced coldly at the metal button. Then, she pushed the sofa back and walked out of the house.

She would not go through the tunnel.

So, she walked out of the shabby residential house, got into her car, and drove away.

She knew where that passageway went. She had private property there, and a luxurious private villa at that.

All she had to do was drive herself to the villa to catch the woman.

Bridget was used to being adored. Although she could not break Isabella’s acupoints, she had confidence in subduing the woman.

She didn’t think that she was no match for the woman.

In Bridget’s luxurious detached villa, Isabella walked a few feet down an underground passageway and emerged from a modest garden exit.

When she got out, she found herself in the garden. She looked around and saw that she had passed by the houses before.

Isabella knew the owner of the villa must have something to do with the Skydragon, or this person must be the mastermind behind it.

As she chuckled, she avoided the security measures in the villa and entered casually.

There was no one in the villa, so she could see that the owner of the villa paid attention to privacy and did not want others to know this was her asset.

Isabella happened to be a little tired and hungry.

She found some instant spaghetti in the refrigerator and heated it before she walked to the dining area. There was a bottle of red wine in the dining room. She opened it, poured it into a decanter, and drank it as she enjoyed the spaghetti.

She also took out her spare phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Ricky.

That phone was used only when she was on her mission. It was usually off, and only a few people knew about it.

When Ricky saw the photo in the message on his phone, he was slightly relaxed.

He knew that nothing would happen to his mommy. Only she could hurt others.

He snickered upon thinking that.

However, his smile faded when he recalled what Alan and Martin did to his mom.

After Isabella sent a message to Ricky, she gave Betty a video call.

When she was in the Nothernville Manor, she feared that Draxton would notice something. So, she did not dare to make much contact with the people in Lotus Village. Today was an excellent opportunity for her to do

In the video, Betty’s dark circles were back again.

Isabella could not help laughing when she saw that.

“Hello, Betty Panda,” Isabella quipped, “do you miss your mommy?”

Betty’s grandpa and grandma had been making fun of her. They called her a panda because of her dark circles. She did not expect her mommy to do that too, and she pouted her lips in displeasure.

“Humph! Bad mommy. Betty is not a panda. Betty is a fairy!”

The little girl pouted her lips so high that Isabella felt she could hang something on them.

Isabella tried hard not to laugh and coaxed her, “Okay, okay. Betty is a fairy, mommy’s darling, not a panda.” Betty snorted and said, “Mommy, don’t worry. Grandpa said the dark circles will fade away in half a month.”

She spoke seriously as she placed her chin on her hands.

“Really? Oh, that’s great!” Isabella exclaimed surprisingly, not to disappoint her daughter.

In fact, she had been paying attention to Betty’s health. So, she knew Betty’s current condition.

Betty was a genius. She was born to be an Evil Doctor, and the talent grew in her.

Isabella was worried and proud at the same time.

Her daughter was a genius.

Betty lifted her chin proudly, and her midnight blue eyes rolled as she made an inquiry bashfully.

“Mommy, have you… hmm… that mister?”

Isabella’s smile froze. Then, she tried to put on a gentle smile and said, “Betty darling, you can call him daddy.”

Little Betty snorted when she heard that. “Humph, no! He tried to murder mommy and us. I won’t call him daddy that easily.”

“Little Betty darling, you are a kid with character, but your brother has already called him daddy.”

Isabella made an attempt to coax her daughter.

Betty hesitated and said stubbornly, “My brother has given in too easily. How could he flatter the man so soon?”

Isabella was amused by her daughter’s words, and she chuckled.

“Well, Betty darling, do you want to call him daddy like your brother?

“He seems to like your brother very much. I’m sure he will like you if he sees you, Betty.”

Betty’s face looked serious, and she frowned as if she was thinking about something serious.
