The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 72 Patriarch Riker

Jocelyn and Betty walked in. Jocelyn smiled and said, "Mr. Lockwood, don't worry. As long as the man is still breathing, Old Greg can definitely save him and make sure the man will be as energetic as before." Draxton was surprised when hearing the name and asked, "Are you talking about the former leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors?"

Jocelyn was shocked, asking, "Did Bella tell you this?"

After saying that, Jocelyn did not give a second for Draxton to reply and said to Betty, "Little Betty, your mother is useless. She confessed everything so quickly."

Betty immediately turned around and stared at Draxton with hostility.

Seeing this, Draxton cried inside, "Oh my!

"This girl is so difficult to deal with!

"Unlike Bella and Ricky..."

Silas coughed lightly to ease the tension and said, "Mr. Lockwood, Miss Betty is very smart."

Silas meant that Betty's IQ and EQ were very high.

Draxton noticed it too. He thought, "Ricky Is also very smart. I'm that surprised by Betty's cleverness because I also was a smart kid.

"By the way, Isabella is smart too.

"I can't tell whether our children are more like Isabella or me."

At this moment, Jocelyn laughed and replied, "Of course, Bella is very intelligent. Betty and Ricky inherit Bella's excellent ability.

"In the past five years, Bella overcame any difficulty you can imagine to survive, support her two children, and avoid being hunted down. She suffered all the hardships and acquired skills that ordinary people would never be able to learn in their entire lives. If Bella was not intelligent, how could she have done it?"

It seemed that Jocelyn was praising Isabella, but her goal was to be sarcastic with Draxton.

Draxton looked down at the floor and felt his heart suddenly ache

Before seeing Isabella, Draxton was not a soft-hearted man.

Draxton would not be a soft-hearted man either if he saw Isabella again and did not fall in love with her. However, Draxton fell in love with Isabella at first sight. He loved Isabella so much that his heart ached at

this moment.

Jocelyn noticed that Draxton's expression and knew Draxton felt sorry for Isabella.

Jocelyn was being sarcastic with Draxton but also tested Draxton.

Jocelyn was satisfied with Draxton's reaction, thinking, "Well, at least Draxton does care about Bella. And from his behavior, I can tell he likes Betty very much."

After making sure Silas was fine, Draxton went to other rooms to visit the rest of his subordinates.

Draxton led a team of ten people from the Executive Department and the Department of War. However, only six of them survived.

They were arranged in three separate rooms, with every two of them sharing a room.

The rooms were very comfortable and warm. It seemed that someone had lived in those rooms before. Draxton thought, "Their rooms are so much better than mine.

"When I first woke up, I was lying on a cold bed, and the bed was so small that I couldn't even stretch my legs. What's more, poisonous snakes and insects were waiting for me."

Thinking of this, Draxton could not help looking at Betty with a serious expression.

Betty gazed at Draxton, blinking her big eyes.

Then Draxton's heart melted

Draxton found that his subordinates who survived all turned out fine.

Finally, Draxton went into another room.

That was the room where Martin Gates stayed.

Before, Martin and Alan made a mistake, so Draxton sent Martin overseas to search for the Star of Cold Light. Martin desired to make up for his mistake and tried hard to find the Star of Cold Light. And he luckily

made it

However, accidents happened when Martin tried to take back the Star of Cold Light. Then Draxton rushed over to Martin.

As a family heirloom, the Star of Cold Light was important to the Lockwood family. Sadly, it had lost for more than a hundred years. It would be difficult for the Lockwood family to maintain its reputation if they could not get the Star of Cold Light back.

Unexpectedly, the enemy was tough. Although Draxton and his team took back the Star of Cold Light, they were all injured. What's worse, all of them inhaled the poisonous smoke developed by the enemy. Draxton and his team already hit their limit when they hung in until they jumped into the sea with survival

kits.

At that time, Draxton and his team left their lives to fate.

Draxton would never expect to be saved by his biological daughter.

After entering Martin's room, Draxton found that Martin's had worse injuries than others.

Martin was unconscious with a pale face. At first glance, Martin looked like a dead person.

Draxton closed his eyes and recalled that Martin blocked a deadly attack for him.

Draxton thought, "I know that Martin felt guilty for what he did before. He worked so hard to make up for his mistake. But if he lost his life, this is the last thing I want to see." "Can... Can you save him?" asked Draxton.

An old man's voice sounded. "Did you listen to yourself? Of course, we can save him. If not, we would have already dug a hole and buried him!"

Draxton turned around and saw a thin old man walking in with a kit.

Draxton immediately said, "Thank you for saving my life, Sir."

The old man looked at Draxton. Draxton was expecting that the old man would reply to him. However, the old man snorted and ignored Draxton.

Draxton was shocked and could not speak a word.

"Haha!" Jocelyn burst out laughing when she saw this.

Draxton looked over and found Jocelyn and Betty gloating.

"I'm going to start my work. Those who have nothing to do with it, get out!"

The old man shouted without looking at anyone.

Draxton, who was despised by the old man, walked out silently and closed the door.

For the next few days, Martin remained unconscious.

However, the old man was always calm. Thus, Draxton gradually alleviated his anxiety.

Draxton did not know that something had happened in Dawton City.

It was a small thing but with deep meaning.

At first, the juniors of the Lockwood family were having lunch with Isabella at the restaurant Savor.

During the meal, Isabella, Olivia, and Yale went to the washroom together.

Roger said, "Oh my God, they even need a companion when going to the washroom."

Kevin kindly reminded Roger, "Bro, be careful with your words. You'll be in trouble if our aunts and sisters hear what you said." Males of the Lockwood family were required to be gentlemen.

Hearing Kevin's words, Roger immediately shut up.

Patretch Riker

When Isabella, Olivia, and Yale came out of the bathroom, they saw a few people standing in front of them.

The one standing at the front was an old man. He looked imposing, wearing a decent gray suit and with his silver hair pulled back.

Behind the old man were six bodyguards in black.

The old man had a serious expression and sharply gazed at Isabella, Olivia, and Yale. Then he stared at Isabella.

Isabella narrowed her eyes and realized these were not nice people.

At this moment, Olivia stepped forward with a dignified and distant smile, "Mr. Riker, what a coincidence. I haven't seen you in a long time."

Isabella shouted inside, "His surname is Riker!"

Isabella blinked her eyes and recalled a girl named Bridget Riker.

Hearing Olivia's greeting, Patriarch Riker stopped his sharp gaze at Isabella and looked at Olivia, replying with a smile, "Hello to you, Olivia. I heard the rumors too. Is this lady Miss Thompson, Draxton's girlfriend?"

Patriarch Riker used the word "girlfriend" instead of the word "wife".

Olivia snorted inside but she remained her smile, replying, "Mr. Riker, please allow me to introduce you to my sister-in-law, Isabella Thompson!"

Olivia emphasized the word "sister-in-law".

Patriarch Riker seemed angry and shouted, "Nonsense! Olivia, how can you call a random person sister-in-law?

"Your brother is the chieftain of the Lockwood family. He may have many girlfriends, but a random woman cannot become his wife!"
