Chapter 1116
Heather knew Hannah was not wrong in her response. Whenever she encountered a similar situation, she always responded in the same manner. Hannah sometimes did not know the inside story, so she could only respond with vague words to prevent others from noticing anything was wrong.
Hannah either agreed or disagreed, and she let Heather decide for herself. However, the matter this time involved Ralph.
Heather was afraid Hannah had selfish intentions and still loved him, which was why her reaction was bigger than usual.
“I see. Ralph didn't say anything else, did he?” Heather leaned back on the sofa and relaxed slightly. Her actions meant she had calmed down and was not as angry as before.
Hannah shook her head slowly but seemed to recall something. “Oh right, he said there’s a family meeting at the Russell family estate this Saturday and wants you to go to it. Ralph said he wants you to witness how he becomes the head of the Russell family."
"Him?! Is he still dreaming?" Heather laughed aloud to the point she teared up. She seldom laughed so heartily.
Hannah pursed her lips and did not express her opinion on this matter.
Heather pondered, ‘Russell family meeting on Saturday. How interesting that he invited me. Is he unafraid of the possible criticism?"
“Are you not planning to go?" Hannah hesitated but probed for Heather's answer.
"Sure. Of course, I'll go! How can I miss such an interesting event? I'll just take it as a show if he ends up embarrassing himself. Moreover, I want to meet that person again." Heather was interested in Alexander and his wife. She had previously avoided doing so because she hardly ever faced opponents of comparable caliber. Little did she expect that the couple would be stronger than her.
Even though it had not been long since she obtained the secret handbook, she felt her kickboxing had improved by leaps and bounds. Maybe she could test the gap between them this time.
“That person... will you be in danger? Maybe I should go on your behalf!” Hannah immediately expressed concern when she heard that Heather might be in danger.
Heather glared at her and said, "It's not your turn yet! I have something I have to do! Do you want to use this opportunity to meet Ralph?”
“Of course not! I don't have any affection for him anymore. He's just a man who was good at sweet- talking me. I only have my sister in my heart, and you’re my most important person."
Heather liked hearing such praise but felt bored when it was repeated too often. She rubbed her ears and said, “I got it. There's no need for you to express your loyalty all the time. You weren't like this before.
“l’ll know if you're disloyal, and if you have any other intentions, you should know what kind of person I am."
“Of course, Heather,” Hannah replied, carefully putting down the coat she had taken off. “If there is nothing else, I'll return to my room."
Heather remained silent but nodded in agreement.
Only then did Hannah quietly return to her basement and close the door. The dark room was her small world. Even though the sunlight was scarce, it was a place that belonged to her.
She sat in the corner. After a moment of silence, she recalled something and fiddled out a small gold lump from the gap at the corner of the bed.
The ring’s original appearance could no longer be discerned. Even so, this was still the most precious gift she had ever received.
‘This Saturday? He said he wanted to become the head of the Russell family.’
Hannah believed Ralph because his tone was determined. She felt he could do it since he was so confident. Would Heather change her mind about marrying him if he became the head of the Russell family and had absolute power’? If so, in the future...
