Chapter 153 The Riker Family Is Done For
Draxton lowered her head and quietly looked at the golden butterfly. It was really beautiful.
However, he was absolutely unaware that this golden butterfly was Isabella’s life. The fact that she gave
it to him meant giving her life to him.
Bridget had lost all her strength at this point. She collapsed to the ground and looked at the butterfly in
shock, then at Isabella.
Isabella looked at her, then smiled.
“Miss Riker is a very merciless one. To be safe, break her limbs first, and make sure they can’t be
reattached.”
Isabella said.
When Silas heard this, she immediately nodded and stepped forward without hesitation. There were a
few cracking sounds, followed by Bridget’s painful screams. Not long after, her hands and feet were
limping on the floor.
Bridget fainted from the pain.
At this moment, the people in the banquet hall finally realized what had just happened. Most of them
were so frightened that they did not dare to make a sound. They hid in a corner and trembled, not daring
to even breathe loudly.
Patriarch Riker was furious, he panted heavily and said, “Draxton, what’s the meaning of this? Do you
have utterly no respect for me? I need to have a talk with your grandpa. No, I need to reason with him!”
Draxton held the golden butterfly in one hand and gently stroked its wings with the other. When he heard
this, he only raised his eyelids casually and smiled mockingly.
Silas sneered and said, “Patriarch, you must be too old that you’re getting senile. The Lockwood family
listens to only the patriarch’s commands. What’s the use of talking to my grandpa?
“Wait, no, I should ask you this. How dare you see my grandpa? Do you not have shame?
Your granddaughter, Bridget, first tried to hurt our young master and young lady. A week ago, she even
ordered her puppet to attempt to kill them. How much of all those things were ordered by you?” Patriarch
Riker was at a loss for words for a moment, then finally figured out what to say and yelled, “Nonsense. I

you come to my birthday banquet and cause a Scene? Draxton, you’re a sight for sore eyes!” Draxton
said, “I know that today is your birthday, so I, the patriarch, personally came to give you a birthday gift.”
His slender fingers stroked the golden butterfly rhythmically, again and again.
The golden butterfly seemed to be enjoying it. It stopped at Draxton’s fingertips and did not move,
looking a little docile and obedient.
Patriarch Riker’s pupils constricted as he looked at Draxton warily. “A gift? Well, let’s see what grand gift
you’ve got for me!
But before that, why don’t you explain what you plan to do after injuring Bridget so badly?”
Draxton said, “So badly? I only crippled her, what she did is enough for me to kill her a hundred times
over.” Patriarch Riker’s eyes flashed. If sacrificing a granddaughter could ease the relationship between
the Lockwood and Riker families, it would be worth it. However, he could not figure out what Draxton was
going to do next.
Draxton looked at Patriarch with a hint of mockery in his eyes. At this moment, Isabella said,
“As far as I know, Bridget tried to use the Love Bug on Olivia and Yale. It seems that the Riker family
really wants to have a marriage with the Lockwood family. However, she does seem to be in quite a hurry

to use even the Love Bug.
Draxton’s fingers that were stroking the golden butterfly paused for a moment. When he started stroking
it again, he used slightly more strength. The golden butterfly’s body tilted from the touch and almost fell.
Draxton was oblivious, but the golden butterfly was clearly unhappy. It angrily bit Draxton’s finger, and a
drop
of blood immediately appeared. The golden butterfly proudly swayed its butt and flew back to Isabella,
ignoring Draxton
Draxton looked at the small drop of blood on his fingertip. He had no time to be bothered by such a small
wound and quickly looked at Isabella.
Isabella put away the golden butterfly and gave Draxton a glare.
Draxton was speechless.
He looked innocent. What did I do wrong?”
Patriarch did not notice the tiny interactions between them. With the thought of abandoning Bridget, he
said,
“Draxton, I didn’t know anything about all these. These are all Bridget’s own decisions after she returned.
It’s all because I didn’t discipline her well. It’s only right for you to blame me.
However, I’m your elder after all. Don’t you think it’s a little inappropriate for you to make such a huge
fuss at my birthday?”
Ethan looked at his grandpa in disbelief. ‘Did he just decide to abandon Bridget?”
Although his cousin, Bridget, had done something wrong, he did not expect his grandpa to abandon her
so easily.
Clearly, in his grandpa’s heart, there was not a single trace of kinship.
Bridget was personally raised by his grandpa, their relationship was supposed to be the strongest.
Ethan lowered his head and silently took a few steps back so he would not attract the attention of
anyone.
“Mr. Riker, don’t worry. Like I’ve just said, I’m here to give you a gift today.”
Right after he said that, he gave Silas a look.
Silas immediately understood. He took out a few folders and called a waiter over. The waiter carefully
walked forward.
Silas handed the folder to the waiter and raised his chin. “Send these documents to the Rikers and
Patriarch Riker.”
Patriarch Riker, Lindon, and the rest of the Riker family all panicked. A bad feeling inexplicably spread
from the bottom of their hearts.
They took the folder hesitantly. When they opened it, their faces instantly turned pale.
Patriarch’s hand that was holding the folder trembled. He suddenly raised his head and tried his best to
move the muscles on his face, but he could not even fake a smile.
He said to Draxton, “I was very close to your grandpa when we were young. I even hugged you when
you were a baby. Draxton, are you really going to treat us like this?”
Draxton said, “It’s exactly because of that past relationship that I’ve been so tolerant towards the Riker
family. However, respect has to be earned.

You guys threw away your dignity, there’s really nothing I can do. Are you satisfied with this gift, Mr.
Riker?”
“You, you…”
Patriarch suddenly realized that this time, Draxton was seriously furious. He was really going to hurt the
Riker family.
However, he did not expect the Draxton to act so quickly, and so deadly too.
No, he definitely has had these things long ago. He just had not taken them out.
“Ah…” Patriarch suddenly let out a short gasp. His face turned abnormally red and he fell backward.
“Dad!”
Gerald held Patriarch before Patriarch collapsed. Of the Riker family people present, only Gerald and
Ethan did not see the folders.
Or rather, they were the only innocent ones in the Riker family.
Even Shane was holding a folder and frozen in place.
Patriarch Riker’s breathing quickened, and his limbs began to twitch.

This was a sign of a stroke caused by excessive shock.
“Call the ambulance!”
Gerald said loudly.
Ethan took out his phone and made a call. Soon, an ambulance arrived very soon.
Patriarch Riker was carried into the ambulance and Gerald followed. At the banquet venue, Lindon and
the others were still holding those folders, their faces were extremely pale.
“Selling the Lucsia Empire’s resources and colluding with foreign forces for profit. What you’ve done all
these years is enough for you to go to jail or even cost you your life. Silas, call the police.”
Lindon and Terrence looked at each other. The two of them were so frightened that they seemed to have
lost their souls. Lindon could no longer maintain the pride as an elder and knelt down with a thud.
“Draxton… No, Mr. Lockwood, please don’t call the police, for the sake of our many years of friendship.
We were muddle-headed in the past. We didn’t know the severity of the situation. Please give us another
chance…”
The Riker family was done for.
