Chapter 83 Ambition Exposed
"Grandpa Bridget eximed in disbelief. "Grandpa, what happened to you?"
She was held by two guards and wanted to rush forward to check on Patriarch Riker, but she was held tightly
and could not move.
Although Patriarch Riker was in extreme pain, he could see Bridget''s condition clearly. He couldn''t help but widened his eyes, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Why was my granddaughter detained by the Lockwood family''s guards?" he thought.
Thinking of his current situation, Patriarch Riker couldn''t help but wonder if the Lockwood family wanted to attack the Riker family.
As soon as he thought of this, he could not help but get shocked. However, Draxton''s voice suddenly sounded. He said in a deep voice, "Call an ambnce and send Patriarch Riker to the hospital. Then call the other people in charge of the Riker family and inform them of the situation here."
One of the guards immediately took out his phone and made a call.
Draxton nced at Patriarch Riker indifferently.
Patriarch Rikerughed out loud, his eyes filled with shock.
He finally realized that something was wrong. "Wasn''t Draxton poisoned? Why did he look fine?" he thought.
He couldn''t help but look in Bridget''s direction. Bridget instantly understood what Patriarch Riker meant. She knew that she shouldn''t say it, but she couldn''t help but speak all the same.
"Grandpa, I don''t know why Draxton is fine. Not only did hee back alive, but he wasn''t poisoned either. I''m also very surprised that our previous n didn''t work. We can''t use the excuse of detoxifying Draxton to coerce the Lockwood family.
"Mr. Marvin and my senior brother would not have lied to us. Isabe must have cured Draxton and Isabe is also an expert in poison. Her medical skills are even better than mine."
After Bridget finished speaking, she knew that she was finished, and so was the Riker family.
She had thoroughly got them on the bad side of the Lockwood family and made themselves enemies of the Lockwood family. It was over. It was all over for them..
Her mouth was not hers at all. As soon as she opened her mouth, the shadiest conspiracy and filth in her heart would be revealed.
Although the Riker family and the Lockwood family were both one of the four great families, the Lockwood family was much more powerful than the Riker family.
She thought that Draxton''s hypnosis had reached an unfathomable level. It was really too terrifying.
She firmly believed that she had been hypnotized by Draxton. She would never have thought of Ricky being the one behind it.
Patriarch Riker looked at Bridget as if he had seen a ghost. "Hahahaha... Bridget, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about? Hahahaha.....”
Bridget kept shaking her head and shut her mouth tightly, not daring to say a word more. Draxton looked at her coldly and did not say a word. He stared at her as if he was looking at a dead person.
The Lockwood family members looked at Patriarch Riker and Bridget coldly. Philip stroked his chin with interest "So you want to ckmail us. The Riker family is really ambitious. Your courage ismendable!"
As he spoke, he pped twice
On the way to their ancestral home, Draxton had already told them how he was saved by Betty. Therefore, they also knew that Draxton almost lost his life in that operation. Fortunately, he was saved by Betty.
Although they were still afraid, he returned safely and even brought back another little girl. It could be said that everyone was happy.
However, he didn''t expect that the Riker family woulde looking for trouble at this time, and they harbored such despicable thoughts.
Jeanne snorted mockingly. "Whatmendable courage? They just don''t know what''s good for them. Be''s
medical skills are brilliant. We don''t need outsiders to butt into our business. One needs to know where they stand. Ms. Riker, don''t you think so?"
Hearing this, Bridget''s face twisted. She couldn''t control the anger in her heart and said evilly, "Who cares. about Isabe? Who cares about her master? All these years, my master had been the one who made the Sanctum of Holy Doctors famous. My master is also the president of the Traditional Medicine Association of Lucsia. How can Isabe and her master bepared to my master''s ability?"
Isabe narrowed her eyeszily and nced at Bridget indifferently. It had to be said that ignorance was. sometimes a blessing indeed.
"But I heard that the Traditional Medicine Association is holding a presidential election soon. It remains to be seen if your master can still extend his term." Philip sneered with disdain.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
Philip was very protective of his own people. Even if Carlos could still be president, if he offended the Lockwood family, Philip could still make the man lose his position and get kicked out of the Traditional Medicine Association.
He figured that if the Lockwood family couldn''t aplish that much, there was no way they could protect their family.
If they didn''t do anything when someone crossed them, it would mean that everyone could bully them. Bridget''s expression changed drastically as she looked at the Lockwood family in disbelief.
In the past, she had thought that the Lockwood family was just like the Riker family. They were all greedy and fought with each other either openly or secretly. However, she did not expect things to be different. It waspletely different.
The Lockwood family was protective of their own, uniting and acting as one. It was a harmony that she had. never thought of before.
Bridget''s eyes were red, and her heart was filled with despair.
Isabe did not say anything. She looked at Philip, who was defending her, and the corners of her lips curled up silently.
At that moment, the ambnce from the hospital arrived. They let the ambnce in and loaded Patriarch Riker, who wasughing non-stop and about to faint, into the ambnce. Then, they brought Bridget to the hospital.
After getting rid of all the troublemakers, the Lockwood family''s ancestral residence immediately became quiet
Draxton brought his men to the hospital. Isabe carried Ricky in her arms. Wilson said, "The world is so big and there are really all kinds of strange things. Patriarch Riker''s strange illness today really opened our eyes. However, the Riker family''s ambition is also very speechless."
Patriarch Lockwood rolled his eyes. "You still have the right to say that? If it weren''t for the fact that all of you are such disappointing gits and don''t contribute to the family, how would others dare to scheme against us?"
Wilson immediately shut up. Philip held his head high. Now, it was his son who was working for the family. He had all the reason to be proud
Patriarch Riker red at Philip again. "You too. You worked Draxton to the bone at such a young age. Fortunately, Draxton is fine this time. If not for Betty, what would have happened to Draxton? You useless thing
Philip rubbed his nose resentfully.
Isabe couldn''t help butugh. Sheforted him, "Grandpa, don''t be angry. The Riker family''s scheme was for nothing Grandpa, Patriarch Riker won''t die. He''ll be fine in three days."
The old man red and said. "Be, you can''t be soft-hearted and save him. I know that you''re a doctor and that doctors are benevolent, but that depends on the person. Didn''t you see what that Old Man Riker said about you? He has evil intentions, so why do you have to....."
The old man had obviously misunderstood what Isabe meant.
Isabe shook her head repeatedly and looked helplessly at the guilty little Betty in Madame Emma''s arms. She exined, "Grandpa, of course I won''t be soft-hearted for that kind of person. But, Betty was the one putting the Laughing Powder on Patriarch Riker''s body, and the Laughing Powder onlysts for three days, so
the old man will be fine after three days."
When she said this, everyone in the Lockwood family looked at the very soft and harmless little girl.
