"Is that so?” Margaret looked suspicious, believing only half of what Ralph said.
"It's true." Ralph leaned closer. Then he murmured and paraphrased what Heather had said, omitting her threats, "So, I will get 30% of the Riggs Group's shares if I can find that secret handbook. Wait, I can ask for more since I'll inevitably be in charge."
He thought things through. He would have a better time negotiating terms with Heather if he had the handbook.
Margaret probably understood but still had doubts. "Is what she said true? I’ve been with your father for all these years, and I have never heard of secret handbooks. Is Heather mistaken?”
“Impossible!“ Ralph shook his head decisively and was sure about it. "Don't overthink it. Her family has been in the business for a long time, so she is obsessed with this handbook. The handbook is useless to us.
“However, it’s a priceless treasure to her. How can she make mistakes with these things? She probably thought about it. Also, if it weren't for the handbook, she wouldn't promise to give me 30% of her company shares.
‘That thing is more important than the Riggs Group to Heather," After some thought, Ralph continued, "Furthermore, how can Alex be so formidable if the handbook didn't exist? The secret handbook has to exist, and the skills it contains must be insanely powerful. It's just that Dad kept it a secret and didn't tell us about it. He even kept it from you."
Margaret heard her son's explanation and felt he made sense. With this belief, it was inevitable that she would have complaints about her deceased husband, "Damn that old man! I never expected him to
hide something so severe from me, especially since we've been together for decades!
‘The family heirloom, huh? It's bad enough that Hugo didn't tell me about it, but he even entrusted the handbook to that little b*stard! I bore children and worked hard for him for many years, but it was all in vain.
"I've done so much for this family, yet he made me angry and fought with me every day!" While speaking, Margaret shed a few tears and cried a few times.
“Mom, don’t be mad at Dad. He had gotten deceived too, and that brat, Alex, had been scheming since he was a child. Alex can be a two-faced prick at times and might've persuaded Dad.
‘That's a mistake Alex will regret! We must set things right and put the family back on track,” Ralph earnestly spoke as if everything he did was for the family's good.
"So, if you want to help me, you must find that handbook. Then after taking over the Riggs family's shares, all we need to do is wait for the DNA results!”
Margaret was silent.
"Mom, why are you still hesitating? Have you changed your mind, or did Alex persuade you also? Ralph became anxious when he noticed his mother not expressing her opinion.
"Silly boy. Of course, I'm on your side! What would you like me to do if you want my help? Your father never told me what kind of book it is, and I don't know what it looks like. I don’t know where to start." Margaret had thought about it carefully and did not have the slightest impression. novelbin
Hugo was cautious before his death but never hid any money. He was even more honest with her. Margaret was bewildered when her son suddenly mentioned a secret that Hugo had been hiding from her. She did not know where to start looking.
