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.
