Chapter 148 Amelia And Her Daughter
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
It was 7:10 p.m., in the Riker family.
Guests arrived one after another. Lindon, the eldest son of Patriarch Riker, and the third, Terrence,
stood at the entrance to greet the guests.
Hustle and bustle gradually filled the house.
A family of three walked in.
Lindon’s eyes lit up as he saw them. He smiled and said, “Welcome, Mr. Hart and Madame Lockwood.
Oh my, is this your daughter?”
Amelia smiled coyly.
Although she and her daughter had barged into Northernville Manor and offended Draxton, the
patriarch, it had been a few months, and he might have forgotten about it now.
But she wasn’t sure of it, and she tried many times to meet him, without success. Now there finally was
a chance, the party. She came to the Riker family’s banquet today only to take the opportunity to meet
Draxton and apologize to him.
After all, she thought, her father died to save the patriarch, and therefore, the current would probably
forgive them, as long as she apologized.
Cliff stepped forward, smiling, and said to Lindon, “This is my daughter, Sophia, Mr. Riker. It’s our honor
to be here for Patriarch Riker’s birthday.”
Lindon’s eyes sparkled slightly. Some time ago, Draxton had punished many members of the
Lockwood family, including Amelia and her families.
Her family was having a rough time these days. Lindon said with a smile, “Oh, your presence really
surprised me, and we’re really lucky to have you here, do come in, ladies and gentlemen.”
The moment Amelia and her families entered the hall, a servant came up to serve them. And Lindon
went out to greet new guests.
Sophia tugged at the pink gown she was wearing and complained under her breath to her mother,
“Mom, the Riker family’s too perfunctory. He’s not really friendly enough at all.”
Amelia whispered, “Sophie, don’t forget what we’re here for. As long as we have sought forgiveness
with the patriarch, our life will return to before.”
“Really? In the past, whenever I wanted to wear gown, someone would come and customize it for me.
But now, Mom, look at this dress. I don’t know how many people have tried it on.”
She glanced at the dress she was wearing in disgust.
Amelia’s eyes flickered. “As long as we look pitiful enough, the patriarch will definitely feel sorry for us,
and think of our favor to them, and he’ll soften toward us.”
Sophia thought for a while and said, “I wonder if Drax is tired of that woman now.”
“Sophie, bear with it. If you see that woman later, you must bear with it,” Amelia reminded her.
“I know, Mom. You’ve said it so many times,” Sophia said impatiently.
Cliff said, “Sophie, stop thinking about Mr. Lockwood. A man like him is not someone you can hope to
match.”
Sophia pouted. “Dad, if I’m only a Hart, it’s true that I’m not worthy of Drax, but Mom is a Lockwood too.
And Grandpa died saving the old patriarch, so I don’t think I’m not worthy of Drax. He just doesn’t know
me, doesn’t know what a good girl I am.”
Cliff’s face stiffened.
Amelia glanced at Cliff from the corner of her eyes and said angrily, “Cliff Hart, you good-for-nothing.
It’s fine if you feel inferior, but don’t make us feel the same too. Never mind, just don’t interfere with our
plan.”
Cliff’s eyelids twitched as he suppressed the anger within him.
At this moment, Amelia looked up at the stairs at the end of the hall and saw a young woman in a dark
purple fishtail dress walking down slowly. Her black hair was elegantly tied up, her makeup perfectly
apt. She looked stunning
Most importantly, she had an extremely elegant and dignified aura, with which one would never
assume that she was an ordinary woman.
Sophia was stunned. In the blink of an eye, the woman was already in front of her. Sophia collected her
thoughts from a daze.
Bridget smiled and said to Amelia and Cliff, “Your daughter is really beautiful and lovely. She’s the most
adorable girl I’ve ever seen.”
Hearing her praise, Sophia blushed. “Thank you, Miss Riker. You’re also very beautiful.”
“You know who I am?” Bridget asked with a smile.
Sophia said, “With such a beautiful face, you must be Miss Bridget.”
She was trying to please Bridget.
Bridget smiled bitterly. “Thank you for your compliment, Miss Hart, but what’s the use? Still, Mr.
Lockwood doesn’t love me.”
Sophia said, “Drax is too picky. If I were him, I’d probably fall in love with you right the moment I see
you, Miss
Riker. I’m sure.”
Bridget said, “Never mind, I’m not hoping that he could change his mind anymore, but you, Miss Hart,
you look innocent and lovely. Mr. Lockwood might like you if he doesn’t like a woman like me.”
Sophia’s mind having been seen through, she momentarily blushed.
She s
said embarrassedly, “Miss Riker, you must be joking. Drax is just like my brother,”
Bridget smiled and said carelessly, “I like you, Miss Hart. I wonder if you will go for a drink with me?”
How could Sophia not accept this invitation? Bridget led Sophia upstairs.
Sophia was excited. She did not expect Bridget would like her.
When they entered Bridget’s room, the two of them exchanged a few words. Bridget said, “Miss Hart, I
know you like Draxton.”
Sophia shook her head repeatedly and denied it. Bridget said, “Miss Hart, don’t deny it. Just tell me the
truth. Do you want to marry Draxton and become the patriarch’s wife of the Lockwood family?”
Sophia’s eyes widened as she looked at Bridget in shock.
“I, I, I…” Sophia gulped. I’d like to ask Miss Riker the same question. Don’t you want to?”
Bridget chuckled. “I did want, but I don’t want anymore. I just can’t stand Isabella Thompson, that
despicable.
woman.
“True, I don’t love Draxton anymore now, but how can I be resigned to losing to her? If it were a young
lady from a prestigious family, like Miss Hart, I would feel much better.”
Sophia looked at her and asked, “Miss Riker, what’s the point of saying this? Drax won’t marry me,
anyway.”
Bridget chuckled and looked at her meaningfully. “If I say that I know how to make Draxton crazy about
you and desperate to marry you, do you want to know it?”
“How… how is that possible?” Sophia looked stunned and slightly expectant. Clearly, she didn’t believe
it, yet she was more inclined that it was true.
Bridget smiled and said, “Oh, trust me, Miss Hart, I’m not joking. Have you heard of artificially cultured
poisonous bugs?”
Sophia looked at her in surprise. Bridget went on, “Now you must be wondering if I am a lunatic, right?
*Believe me. There are indeed poison bugs in this world. I have a pair of Love Bugs in my hands. As
long as you implant them on Draxton, he will be yours.”
“Re… really?” Sophia was half convinced and half skeptical.
“You don’t believe me? Then let’s do an experiment,” Bridget said, still smiling.
Sophia began to wonder what an experiment it would be.
