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
1.
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.
Isabella did not interrupt. She ate and took a sip of the wine as she smiled at Betty’s expression.
After about two minutes, Betty finally figured out what she was thinking. She said seriously to Isabella,
“Mommy, does he really like my brother?”
Isabella nodded. “Well, it’s true.”
She wasn’t coaxing Betty with no evidence. From these few days of getting along with Draxton, she
could see Draxton really cared about Ricky, and Cooper liked Ricky.
So, she believed Ricky would not suffer anything while staying with the Lockwood family.
“What if he prefers sons to daughters? Perhaps he won’t like me so much if he sees me!”
Betty made an assumption on her own.
Isabella was speechless.
For a little girl about the age of four, Betty seemed to have too much in mind.
Isabella said, “Little Betty, let me remind you something. There is no such thing as favoring the boys in
our family, okay?
“Your father does not seem foolish to me.”
“I can’t be sure until I see him.
“Well, mommy. You only said he was a good father. Tell me. Is he nice to you?
“Is he trying to take my brother away and kill you?”
Isabella was at a loss for words again.
She was worried about Betty having those complicated thoughts.
“Betty, you’re thinking too much. Do you think, with your mommy’s charm, that man would want to kill
me? He has promised to marry me.”
Isabella wore a smug expression as she said that.
Betty frowned and looked at Isabella, worried.
She scolded, “Mommy, how could you be so gullible? That cunning man will deceive you. Betty is so
worried about you. Sigh!”
Isabella was speechless.
Her daughter was worried and even educating her.
She pretended to ponder and said, “Little Betty, Mommy thinks you are right!
“Don’t worry. Momrny would be cautious about it and not let the bad guy take advantage of me.
“Also, mommy will take care of myself and your brother.”
“Mommy, let me talk to Ricky. ! have something I want to tell him.”
Little Betty sounded serious. She had to ask her brother to take care of their mommy. Otherwise, she
would still be worried.
Isabella was in a sudden dilemma.
Betty was keen, and she noticed Isabella’s uneasiness right away. She exclaimed, “Ricky is not with
you?
“Mommy, did the man chase you out of his house?”
Isabella’s forehead was drenched in a cold sweat. It would be difficult for her to deal with this matter
since Betty had already noticed something.
What made her feel guilty was that her situation was no better than being chased out of the house.
Draxton’s men ostracized her, and she would have had a bad time even if she married him.
Isabella started to feel uneasy
She didn’t really want anything except a good life for her children.
If possible, she wanted to do nothing and live a good life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was why she accepted Draxton.
But Draxton’s subordinates were annoying.
Betty’s brows furrowed when she noticed the guilty look on Isabella’s face.
Isabella pondered how to explain to Betty about her situation so that it would not hurt Betty’s relationship
with Draxton and could maintain her image as Betty’s mother.
But she had lost her stance as the mother.
Isabella’s face crumpled, and she admitted honestly, “Betty, it’s not him. It’s his subordinates who don’t
like

“I’m having dinner in a nice villa and your father will be looking for me now. But I don’t feel like going
back immediately.”
She spoke petulantly, in a somewhat coquettish tone.
“Would he punish his men for you?”
Betty didn’t fail to ask another question.
Isabella touched her forehead helplessly. Betty was sensitive, and her question was straight to the point.
With a sad face, Isabella said, “I don’t know.”
Betty puffed her cheeks angrily.
“Humph. Even if he punished his men, I wouldn’t take him as my daddy.
Isabella felt touched and wanted to comfort Betty, but she heard some noise.
She curled her lips and smiled. She then made a silent sign at Betty.
She whispered, “Betty baby, the owner of this villa is back. Don’t make any sound, okay?”
Betty remained silent at once. Her midnight blue eyes squinted, waiting to see what would happen next
with anticipation.
She was not worried that her mother would be on the losing side. From her mother’s condition, she knew
her mother could handle it.
When Bridget arrived at her house, she noticed someone had pried open her door lock. From the perfect
condition of the door, she could see that the woman’s skill was not bad.
Even she could not pry open a door so perfectly.
Bridget realized the woman did not seem as simple as others thought.
That woman had mastered medicine and could even pick locks.
Moreover, that was an advanced smart lock.
She even cracked the code.
That meant that this woman was not an ordinary lock picker. At least she had a good knowledge of
artificial intelligence
It was also something she could not exceed.
Bridget wanted to kill that woman. She knew she could not let that woman leave this place alive.
She began to wonder where this woman came from.
Where did Draxton find such a woman and want to marry her? They even had children!
She clenched her fists, opened the door without hiding her murderous intent, and even took out a
dagger.
Then, she walked into the house with a cold look on her face.
She saw the arrogant woman sitting idly at dinner in her dining room.
Isabella was also stunned.
She had never expected that the person behind Draxton would be such a beautiful, delicate woman.
But when Isabella saw the woman’s face, the smile on her face faded a little.
She knew that woman’s identity.
Bridget Riker was the only descendant of Carlos Orwell’s skill.
Carlos’s reputation was great in society. One of the reasons was his outstanding medical skill and
because of the name of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors.
However, those who worshipped and awed Carlos did not know the identity of Carlos being the leader of
the Sanctum of Holy Doctors was fake.
It was because the true leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors was her, Isabella Thompson!
