Chapter 139 Patriarch Riker’s Trick
In Northernville Manor.
Isabella and Jake sat on the balcony and chatted.
Isabella was holding a cup of hot milk. Draxton had sent it to her not long ago.
Jake also had a cup in front of him, but Jake did not touch it. He preferred to drink hard liquor.
However, Isabella checked Jake’s pulse and found that there were hidden injuries in his body that had
yet to recover. So, Isabella didn’t allow him to drink.
“I’ll send you to the cemetery tomorrow,” Isabella said.
“Okay,” Jake said.
“How long do you plan to stay this time?” Isabella asked.
Jake narrowed his sharp eyes slightly and said, “I might stay longer this time.”
Isabella paused and said, “Looks like you’re already planning to make a move.”
Jake did not say anything. The atmosphere between the two of them fell silent.
No one said anything, and they just sat there. However, the atmosphere was harmonious and there was
no awkwardness at all.
Draxton was handling official business in the study. He specially left space for the two of them to catch
up.
Although Olivia still stayed in Northernville Manor and did not leave, she did not come out to disturb
them.
Olivia was really noisy in her day-to-day life, but at critical moments, she had a sense of propriety.
“When will Master Vaughn return to Lotus Village?” After a while, Isabella asked.
“He’ll probably have to return later. He’s almost found out who the enemy who broke his leg back then
was,” Jake said.
A cold light flashed across Isabella’s eyes. “I’m going overseas for a while.”
Jake nodded. “That’s good too. With you by his side, I can rest assured.”

The two of them chatted for a while. Isabella finished her milk and went upstairs to sleep. Jake also
returned to his bedroom.
Early the next morning, Isabella sent Jake to the cemetery.
When they went out, they saw Olivia holding her phone and sitting in the living room in a daze.
Isabella went over and asked with concern, “Olivia, what’s wrong?”
Olivia came back to her senses with a complicated expression. “Ethan has returned to the country. He
just called me and asked me to meet him.”
Isabella did not know who Ethan was, but she still asked, “One of the Riker family?”
Draxton walked over at that time and said in a deep voice, “Ethan is one of the Riker family. He had a
good relationship with Olivia in his early years. He returned to the country at this time. It must be
Patriarch Riker who asked him to do so.”

Isabella immediately understood something. She narrowed her eyes and sneered. “Olivia, what’s your
attitude toward Ethan?”
If Olivia’s attitude toward Ethan was unusual, they would inevitably have some concerns about dealing
with the Riker family.
Olivia snorted. “That depends on his attitude. I did have a good relationship with him in the past, but the
good or bad relationship depends on his current attitude.
“1. Olivia Lockwood, am not the kind of fool who will be used by others.”
Isabella looked at Olivia appreciatively and said, “Olivia, you are so straightforward. I love you.”
Olivia blushed. She looked at Isabella with watery midnight blue eyes and said proudly, “Of course!”
Isabella could not help but chuckle.
Olivia was very shy when she saw Isabella’s smile and went out with a red face.
Jake watched Olivia leave and chuckled. “Bella, Olivia is quite interesting.”
Isabella gave Jake a sidelong glance and said, “What do you mean by interesting? She even praised you
for being handsome yesterday!”
Jake said casually, “I’m indeed handsome. Is there a need to praise me?”
Isabella could not help but roll her eyes. Jake didn’t even understand what Olivia meant. He deserved to
be single.
Draxton was going to meet Admiral Sanders today. After saying goodbye, the three of them split up.
Isabella accompanied Jake to the cemetery.
It was the most ordinary cemetery in Dawton City. Jake went to pay his respects to his mother. Isabella
sat in the car and waited. She did not get out.
After a while, Jake returned. Isabella stepped on the accelerator and said, “Let’s go for fun and have
lunch outside.”
“Okay.” Jake leaned against the back of the seat very relaxedly and stared at the scenery outside the car
in a daze.
“Although i was born in Dawton City, I’ve never seen it so clearly.
“Before I was seven years old, I had been locked up in that dark place. My body was filled with all kinds
of tubes at all times, and so was my mother.
“After that, I escaped, but I rarely came back.”
Isabella didn’t say anything and just listened quietly.
The two of them drove around Dawton City for the entire morning. At noon, they went to Savor.
Coincidentally, Olivia and Ethan also ate here.
In a private room, Lindon and Patriarch Riker were sitting quietly. Lindon’s phone was lit up and a voice
was coming from it.
However, no one was talking to Lindon on a call. The voice was the chatting of Ethan and Olivia coming
from the other private room.
Obviously, Lindon and Patriarch Riker were eavesdropping on their conversation.
“Dad, it seems that Ethan and Olivia are having a good chat.” Lindon smiled.
Patriarch Riker was also very satisfied, but he still frowned. “The progress is too slow. Ethan’s personality
is a little gentle. He should be more proactive.”
Lindon said, “After all, they’ve been separated for a few years. It’s not good to be too proactive when
they meet for the first time.”
Patriarch Riker could only sigh helplessly. His eyes flashed. “Since these two still have a good
impression of each other, why don’t we help them? After a while, it will be my birthday.”
Lindon said, “Father, what are you thinking?
“Let’s hold a grand birthday banquet and help them be a real couple at that time.” Patriarch Riker’s eyes
flickered.

They both laughed as they spoke.
At this moment, Patriarch Riker suddenly narrowed his eyes. The door of their private room was not
closed tightly. Through the gap in the door, Patriarch Riker saw Isabella walking over with a man.
Lindon obviously saw them too. Lindon got up and quickly chased after them. Sure enough, Lindon saw
Isabella enter a private room intimately with a man.
Lindon returned to the private room and said, “Dad, I wonder who the man beside Isabella is. He looks
extraordinary.”
Patriarch Riker narrowed his eyes and sneered. “She is the mistress of the dignified Lockwood family, yet
she dares to meet another man behind Draxton’s back. How interesting.”
Lindon said, “Dad, when we came, didn’t we see those juniors from the Lockwood family also here? Why
don’t we expose this matter in front of them?”
Patriarch Riker muttered, “It’s too obvious by doing this, and it’s easy to offend the Lockwood family. It
won’t be good if the Lockwood family hates us for the sake of their reputation.”
Lindon was also a little hesitant, and he said again, “Dad, those juniors from the Lockwood family are.
wandering around every day with nothing to do. They’re actually not ambitious at all. They don’t look like
normal children of aristocratic families at all.”
Which ordinary descendant of an aristocratic family didn’t compete with each other?
However, the juniors from the Lockwood family looked idle every day.
Patriarch Riker sneered and mocked, “Why else? The Lockwood family’s main branch is so domineering
that the two branches below can’t even do anything to rise up.
“When Philip was in charge, Wilson and Macpherson were excluded from the core circle of the family.
One went running a chain hotel, and the other even went farming!
“In Draxton’s generation, the main branch is still in charge. The cousins below have directly become
idle.”
Lindon sighed. “The main branch of the Lockwood family is really ruthless!”
Patriarch Riker narrowed his eyes. “Let’s go meet those juniors now.”
If they could let the Lockwood family fight among themselves, it would be beneficial to them.
The Lockwood family could be so strong because the main branch monopolized the power. But what if
the second and third branches fought together against the main branch?
