Chapter 39 Bridget’s Ambition
Therefore, when Isabella saw Bridget, a subtle feeling rose in her.
Carlos was Grandmaster’s younger brother. Years ago, Carlos killed almost half of the village to steal the
Legacy of Evil Doctors. He was then expelled from the sanctum by his and Grandmaster’s master.
From then onwards, Grandmaster kept and sealed the Legacy of Evil Doctors.
Carlos’s medical talent was not as high as the Grandmaster back then. So, he looked for another path
and wanted to learn the Legacy of Evil Doctors secretly.
Although he did not get it, he had learned some poison usages in the Legacy of Evil Doctors.
Later, the master passed away, and Grandmaster never found any disciples he liked.
As the leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, he was a bachelor. Only when he met Isabella did he find
his successor.
After Isabella learned everything, he excitedly handed the leader position to her.
Meanwhile, Carlos disappeared after being chased out of the sanctum.
But time changed and decades passed. Soon, Carlos’s name was heard again.
He claimed to be the leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors and had high medical skills. After all, he did
have some medical skills.
Even though they were of average quality, the disciples who came out of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors
were much better than ordinary doctors.
Carlos’s reputation grew after he cured several prominent figures.
From then on, his reputation soared. His image changed from the guilty disciple who had been chased
out of the sanctum into the traditional medicine practitioner and the leader of the Sanctum of Holy
Doctors with outstanding medical skills.
The true former leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, Greg Falkona, and Isabella, the current leader,
always kept a low profile, unlike Carlos.
For some reason, Grandmaster was unwilling to leave Lotus Village.
Meanwhile, Isabella would not use the name of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors unless she had no choice.
Isabella was not even going to show others her ability.
She liked the freedom and life filled with leisure. All she wanted was to educate her kids and live an easy
life. Fame was not what she yearned for.
The Grandmaster and her were totally different from Carlos.
However, Carlos and his disciple, Bridget, were keen on fame and fortune.
Isabella had even heard of rumors that Bridget was from the Riker family. They had brought Bridget up
by the standard of the chieftain’s wife of the Lockwood family.
“It’s indeed…” An ironic smile appeared on Isabella’s face.
Bridget, whose face was cold, was enraged when she saw Isabella remaining calm and even sneer.
That woman was more beautiful than she expected. Even if she did not want to admit it, she had to
accept the fact that Isabella was more beautiful than herself.
It was still tolerable if Isabella was just pretty. Yet, that woman was eating something from her house.
“I can sue you for breaking and entering!” Bridget showed her anger.
isabella laughed and took another sip of wine. “Really? Well, can I call the police and report Skydragon’s
territory and shut it down?
“Then, track your place from the Skydragon’s territory, Miss Riker?”
“You know me?” Bridget said as she squinted her eyes and prepared to use her dagger.
Isabella glanced at the dagger in Bridget’s hands and saw the faint blue luster. She saw that the dagger
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas poisoned, as expected from Carlos’s disciple.
She smiled and hid her disdainful gaze.
“Heh. It seems you have done some homework just for Draxton that you even know who I am.
“But you are something. I heard you gave birth to Draxton’s kid.
“You do have some ability to win Draxton’s heart. Well, I haven’t gotten to know you more. What’s your
name?”
“I’m Isabella Thompson, a nobody. But I got to know about you not because of Draxton. It’s because of
your master, Carlos.
“After all, how could the man who was expelled from the Sanctum of Holy Doctors be the leader of it?”
Isabella watched Bridget’s expression change and showed a meaningful smile.
“To tell you the truth, I don’t want to have any friction with you, Miss Riker. After all, you have deceived
the world But that is your business, not mine
“But the weird thing is that the people of Skydragon kidnapped me.
“I could do nothing and found this tunnel. So, I followed this tunnel to this place
“It is not my fault that I am here uninvited. It’s your men who took me here forcefully! You can’t blame me
for that, can you?”
She took another sip of wine leisurely.
It pissed off Bridget to hear that. She had never seen such an arrogant woman before.
“Who are you? How do you know my master’s name and everything about him?
“Do you have something to do with Greg? But Greg is dead, isn’t he?”
Bridget’s heart hammered, and she felt she had gotten to know some secret.
Isabella scoffed, “Miss Riker, it’s not a good habit to curse someone’s master to death for no reason.”
“Are you a disciple of Greg?”
Startled, Bridget’s body swayed, and she tried hard to remain calm. But she could not help herself from
staring at Isabella in shock.
She wondered why there would be someone better than her in medicine.
In fact, her master had also told her that they would be invincible if they did not encounter anyone of the
Falkona family’s descendants or disciples.
According to some reliable information, they were confident that Greg was dead.
No one knew where he was.
But now, the disciple of Greg appeared before her. She was not only his mortal enemy in medicine but
also in marriage.
Bridget even began to doubt if that woman had appeared before her and gone against her on purpose.
With that in mind, Bridget furrowed, and a killing intent appeared on her face.
Her master had told her that the Falkona family was indeed superior in medicine but that he was superior
in poison
Therefore, Bridget was confident she could kill Isabella.
She would kill that woman and deal with the others later. ·
It was better to kill this woman than to keep her. Keeping Isabella might bring trouble to herself.
With that thought in mind, Bridget grabbed the poisoned dagger and dashed toward Isabella.
However, Isabella was chewing the beef bacon without lifting her head.
“If I were you, I’d be wise and put down the dagger. After all, you can’t kill me, and you’ll be the only one
to lose.”
Bridget’s hatred had made her face look ugly. She sneered and said, “Greg sent you to go against us,
didn’t he?”
Isabella lifted her head and observed Bridget’s uncontrollable expression, and her smile deepened She
suddenly said, “Honey, I’m so sorry. Mommy shouldn’t have let you see such an unpleasant scene.
“It’s alright. This woman is foolish.” Betty’s cute voice came from the phone. She sounded interested in
what was happening.
Bridget was shocked. She looked at Isabella’s phone, and a chill ran down her spine. Never did she
expect that Isabella would be video-calling someone.
If someone was calling Isabella, it meant someone already knew she was not alone.
Cold sweat broke on Bridget’s forehead. Her killing intent did not fade away, yet she did not dare to do
anything rashly either.
“She’s so stupid…” Betty was speechless.
Isabella smiled and tapped the table rhythmically with her finger.
Alan and Martin had headed to Northernville Manor nervously once Draxton called them.
Draxton was ashamed to face Ricky and was sitting alone in one of the buildings in the estate.
When Martin and Alan arrived, they saw Draxton sitting silently with his back facing them.
He was unusually silent. It made him seem cold and stern, which caused the atmosphere in the room to
tense more.
Martin and Alan’s confidence after meeting Bridget almost shattered when they met Draxton.
All the while, Draxton turned his back on them and didn’t say a word.
Their chieftain was angry.
He had rarely treated them in this way.
They were strong men from the Expendable Camp who had been by Draxton’s side since they were
young. So, instead of subordinates, they were more like brothers to Draxton.
Chieftain, who was fond of them, had never turned his back on them so silently as he did today.
They had thought that Bridget was the only woman for Draxton to marry. However, something struck
them. Isabella was not only the woman Draxton wanted to marry, but she was also Ricky’s mother.
Their faces were all pale. At last, Alan broke the silence and knelt.
He apologized, “Mr. Lockwood, it was my fault. I should not have tried to test Miss Thompson and tricked
her I am willing to accept your punishment.”
Martin also knelt and said, “Mr. Lockwood, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have disobeyed your command and
set a trap for Miss Thompson.
“But we didn’t mean to hurt her. We just wanted to test her out. We did not think things would turn out like
this.”
After hearing what they said, Draxton still did not intend to speak to them.
Martin and Alan looked at each other, and they could see the fear in their eyes.
“Who were you with before coming here?” There was a deathly silence when Draxton finally spoke.
The question he asked was not about Isabella. It seemed to have nothing to do with her at all.
Fear rose in Alan and Martin. However, they knew Draxton would have already known what happened if
he asked something like that.
Alan could only answer truthfully, “Mr. Lockwood, we investigated the Skydragon to find Miss Thompson.
We
found the Hallow Club and met Miss Riker there.
“Miss Riker is the boss behind the Hallow Club, and she founded the Skydragon.
He sounded proud and adored Bridget when he explained about this. It was as though Bridget’s honor
had something to do with him.
Although Martin did not speak, he nodded and had the same feelings as Alan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, they did not realize that their proud tone worsened Draxton’s mood.
Draxton asked indifferently, “Do you guys admire her?”
Alan and Martin were dumbfounded and wondered why Draxton said so.
Both Alan’s and Martin’s faces turned pale, and they panicked.
They realized they had been speaking on Bridget’s behalf and talked about her before Draxton, which
seemed to have annoyed him.
However, Draxton was not angry. He only continued to ask calmly, “Is she that outstanding in your eyes?”
Alan said, “Mr. Lockwood, Martin and I admire Miss Riker. But it’s only admiration, and we’re not fond of
her. To us, only Miss Riker is worthy of being your wife.”
Martin nodded.
Draxton sneered and questioned them, “Is it up to you to decide who I marry?”
Alan and Martin were startled. Only then did they realize what they said was inappropriate.
It was not their business as his subordinates to interfere with who he chose to marry.
They could not speak on Miss Riker’s behalf because they liked her more and did not like Miss
Thompson, they…
“Ricky is now ignoring me and sad because he could not see his mommy. He is starting to distance
himself from me.
“He is my heir and my only child. Do you understand?”
Alan and Martin did not know what to say. Their faces were pale.
Draxton continued. “Yet, you… hurt my son’s mother and caused a relationship crisis between my son
and me. Most importantly, you… hurt the woman I’m fond of.”
Alan and Martin stared at Draxton in disbelief.
Their chieftain said he liked that woman!
Draxton looked at both of them and said self-deprecatingly, “In fact, even without Isabella, I would not
marry Bridget. It is impossible for her to marry me and get into the Lockwood family.
“If Isabella and Ricky did not appear, I might look for a woman from an ordinary family with a good
upbringing and make her the chieftain’s wife of Lockwood family.
“However, no matter what, my wife would never be Bridget.”
Alan could not help himself from speaking up for Bridget. “Mr. Lockwood, Miss Riker is also well brought
up Have you misunderstood her?”
Draxton looked at him in disappointment.
He said, “Would a woman of good character create a gang like Skydragon? What’s more, a gang with no
discipline?
“The member she recruited for Skydragon did many bad things, and no one dared to go against them. All
of that was just because they had Bridget backing them up.
“The Hallow Club. Do you think it’s just a simple club?”
Draxton placed a stack of documents before Alan and Martin. They looked pathetic as they picked up the
papers in panic.
The documents were about Bridget and her master Carlos using humans as a specimen to test their
poisons. Moreover, the Skydragon was formed to make it easy for them to carry out things against the
law.
She had even secretly bribed people in the Lockwood Group. She tried to bribe those she could and
used other means to get the others to work for her.
For example, she put on a successful image to mesmerize Alan and Martin.
All these behaviors revealed a message that she not only wanted to become the chieftain’s wife but also
wanted to become the leader of the Lockwood family.
