Chapter 84 The Naughty Child
Betty poked two of her fingers against each other. Her big eyes blinked as she looked at everyone. Her little face was red. No matter how one looked at her, she looked like a harmless baby.
Madame Emma Lockwood patted the child's back gently and smiled stiffly. "Haha, Bella, what are you talking about? Little Betty is still a little baby. How can it be her?"
The old man nodded repeatedly. It was obvious that he agreed with Madame Emma Lockwood.
Little Betty's expression became even more adorable.
Isabella said, "It's true..."
Jeanne said, "Bella, I know. It was you who did it, right? Don't worry. No matter what happens, our family will be able to take responsibility. Don't worry. That Old Man Riker's words were too much. Even if you didn't teach him a lesson, we wouldn't have let him off!"
Isabella was speechless.
Philip also said, "Girl, you really as timid as they come. It's not a good habit to dare to do something but not admit it. It's even more wrong to push the blame on Betty. Even if you admit it, we won't blame you!"
Isabella was stunned.
She looked at Little Betty speechlessly. When Little Betty met her mother's gaze, she immediately buried her face into Madame Emma Lockwood's arms guiltily, leaving only the back of her head with a strand of hair sticking up facing Isabella.
Isabella could not help but laughed in anger, thinking that the child really set her mother up!
Most importantly, the Lockwood family had been deceived by the little girl's cute and harmless appearance! Isabella didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was waiting to see how long this little girl could pretend. When the girl finally couldn't pretend anymore, she would love to see everyone's expressions.
Wilson was even more direct. He said, "Bella, I knew that your medical skills are outstanding, but I didn't expect you to know how to use poison. This Laughing Powder is really amazing. Can you give me some?"
He rubbed his palms together, looking eager to prank someone.
Isabella did not have any Laughing Powder on her.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
She silently looked at Little Betty.
Little Betty felt that her mother's gaze was really too terrifying!
She wondered how she could console her mother later.
"Uncle Wilson, I don't have it on me right now. I'll get it to you when I have it." Isabella could only find this
excuse.
Wilson understood. "Well, I see. You must have finished all of it messing with Old Man Riker just now. It's fine. There's no hurry. When you have it, call me. I'll come and get it myself." Isabella was again speechless.
"In this day and age, no one believed the truth," she thought.
It would seem that one would really get a pass for doing bad things due to just being cute.
Isabella glanced at Betty again. Although she criticized her daughter in her heart, her eyes were filled with love
It had been a long time since they had last met. She had actually missed the child for a long time.
Ricky also looked at Betty helplessly. Her sister was really too naughty. She had done something bad and actually made her mother take the blame
Just as he was thinking that, he was suddenly grabbed by a pair of strong arms
To be precise, someone scooped him up.
Ricky was already used to the reality of being carried away and kissed for no reason. He had already adapted
well to it all.

Philip hugged the little guy and smiled lovingly. He asked gently, "Ricky, between you and Betty, who is the older one?"
"I'm the older one!"
"I'm the older one!"
The two little voices spoke in unison.
The scene was silent as everyone looked at Isabella.
Isabella rubbed her forehead with a headache. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Betty say softly. "I'm willing to be the younger sister."
As she spoke, she rubbed her fingers together, looking aggrieved and helpless. She looked like she was willing to give in to Ricky.
It was Ricky's turn to be speechless.
Ricky pursed his lips and looked at his sister helplessly. His sister was too naughty. He did not argue with
her.
Facts spoke louder than words.
Isabella was silent for a moment. She wondered why did her daughter feel rather bitchy somehow.
"It had to be my imagination. It had to be," she thought.
She raised her head and looked at Betty with a faint smile. Betty was acting cute with her fingers while secretly sizing up Isabella's expression from the corner of her eye. When she saw Isabella looking over, the little girl immediately buried her little face in Madame Emma's arms again.
Isabella chuckled.
The Lockwood family's atmosphere was harmonious, but the hospital was not so relaxed.
After Patriarch Riker was sent to the hospital, he was immediately injected with a tranquilizer. After the injection, he fell asleep. Finally, he no longer had to laugh non-stop. In an instant, even the air became quiet.
Patriarch Riker was wheeled in for a checkup.
At the same time, several stewards of the Riker family also came.
Patriarch Riker had three sons. The eldest son, Lindon, the second son, Gerald, and the third son, Terrence.
Bridget was the daughter of the eldest son, Lindon. She was accompanied by Gerald's daughter, Irene, and Terrence's sons, Shane and Veron.
Although Shane was Terrence's son, he was the eldest grandson of the Riker family. He was even older than Bridget by a month.
If Bridget was nurtured by the Riker family according to the Lockwood family's chieftain's standards, then Shane was undoubtedly the successor of the Riker family.
Patriarch Riker's three sons were not accomplished people and were mediocre at best. However, Patriarch Riker was very satisfied with Shane among all of his grandchildren.
In addition to Shane, the patriarch's second son, Gerald, also had a son called Ethan, who was also very outstanding, but in order to avoid a conflict between the brothers, Ethan was sent overseas and had no returned for a few years.
At that moment, the descendants of the Riker family watched as Patriarch Riker was pushed into the emergency room. Although they were anxious, none of them were really sad.
Bridget was still being escorted by the Lockwood family's guards. She stared fixedly at her family, but she did not dare to say a word.
Lindon's face darkened, and he put on the demeanor of an elder. He did not know what had happened in the Lockwood family. At this moment, he still believed that Draxton would be his son-in-law sooner or later, that Draxton would one day call him father-in-law respectfully, so he looked at Draxton with a very dignified gaze, or rather, a very aloof gaze
He said in low voice, "Draxton, what are you doing? What did Bridget do wrong? Tell me. As her father, I will naturally teach her well. Why are you detaining her like this in front of us elders?"
Silas followed behind Draxton. When he heard that, he looked at the Riker family with disgust, thinking that

everyone in the Riker family was really the same.
Draxton wore a deadpan face and glanced at Lindon, saying, "Mr. Riker, if you want to know the reason, why don't you ask your daughter yourself?"
Bridget shook her head in horror.
She could not speak now. If she did, she would have spoken the truth from the bottom of her heart.
And the truth would be fatal!
Lindon had no idea of the fear in Bridget's heart. He couldn't help but look at Bridget and ask directly, "Bridget, what happened? Why did Draxton treat you like this?" Bridget roared in her heart. She told herself not to say anything else.
However, the words that came out of her mouth were, "I wanted to kill Draxton's son, so Draxton arrested me."
