The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Bridget’s Blue Flame

Bridget’s eyes were filled with tears. From the moment she knew how to talk, she had been groomed to become the chieftain’s wife of a large family, and she was even told that she would definitely become the future chieftain’s wife of the Lockwood family.

She had been brainwashed since she was young, and the thought that she would become Chieftain’s wife of the Lockwood family was already deeply rooted in her mind.

They had nurtured her since she was young, but when it was time to give her up, they did not hesitate at all. The Riker family might not understand what kinship was at all.

She really envied the Lockwood family because they were famous for their protectiveness toward their own. Draxton nodded in satisfaction. It was unknown if it was praise or sarcasm, but he said, “Patriarch Riker is really snappy indeed.”

After saying that, he turned around and left, ignoring the expressions on the faces of the Riker family members.

As they watched the Lockwood family leave and Bridget, who was taken away by them, the atmosphere between the Riker family members fell into a strange silence.

Patriarch Riker, who was lying on a hospital bed, broke the silence. He muttered a name, but the Riker family could not hear clearly at the moment. Shane went forward and asked softly, “Grandpa, what did you just say?”

Patriarch Riker said, “Ethan… Call Ethan back…”

Ethan was the son of Gerald, the patriarch’s second son. Ethan had been very outstanding since he was young. Most importantly, Ethan and Olivia had a good relationship.

The two of them were of the same age. They had been classmates since kindergarten. When they got to the age of attending university, the Riker family sent Ethan overseas because of various concerns.

Shane understood Patriarch Riker’s intentions almost instantly. Now that the Riker family had offended the Lockwood family, Ethan was the only link to ease the relationship between the two families.

At the very least, with Ethan’s return, the Lockwood family might not be too ruthless to the Riker family. That was because… Ethan had saved Olivia’s life when he was young.

As for Olivia and Ethan, they used to have a vague good impression of each other, although that good impression was snuffed out by the Riker family before it could sprout.

However, it was undeniable that calling Ethan back at this time was the best course of action to take.

“Grandpa, I know what to do. Rest assured.”

Shane comforted him.
