Chapter 1197
Lily had met Chump twice before. She knew he was always with Heather and a hidden kickboxing master. Although he tried to hide his vitality, she could still sense the ability he had as a skilled kickboxer. Still, Lily only had a faint impression of him because he was not always around.
"Mr. Russell," Chump stepped forward and greeted respectfully. Then he looked at Lily and said, "Mrs. Russell, Ms. Riggs has invited you to come over tomorrow."
That stunned Lily. "Me?"
Initially, she thought Chump was here for Alexander, so it surprised her that Heather had invited her too. Alexander felt the same as well.
"Only her?” Alexander asked.
There was a hidden meaning behind his question. He meant to ask if Heather was inviting the two of them. Even if she was to invite only one of them, inviting Alexander seemed more plausible.
After all, she would communicate directly with Alexander regarding business or other things. There was little Heather and Lily could discuss besides kickboxing, after all.
"Yes," Chump answered, nodding.
Alexander lowered his gaze. "Do tell her we aren't going.”
His answer did not surprise Lily at all. She knew how protective he could be over her, and she was slowly getting used to it. Still, Alexander could sometimes be overprotective. After all, he did everything with Lily's best interests at heart.
"Ms. Riggs said she doesn't have ill intentions and that you, Mr. Russell, shouldn't worry." Heather had expected
Alexander's rejection before and even told Chump how to convince the couple.
"If Ms. Riggs doesn't have ill intentions, she can come here anytime to discuss things with us. We don't have any ill intentions either." Alexander spread his hands to show how frank he was about the matter.
Chump pursed his lips and continued, "It's... inconvenient for Ms. Riggs to come here.”
"Would she experience more inconvenience than a pregnant lady? It seems Ms. Riggs isn't sincere about meeting us at all,” Alexander said coldly, "You may leave now."
"Ms. Riggs has no other choice. Mrs. Russell, you’ll know once you visit her. Ms. Riggs means no harm!" Chump said sincerely and lowered his head, but he showed no signs of leaving. It seemed he would not leave before he got what he came here for.
That made Alexander's expression turn cold. He did not like it when others forced him to do something. Just as he was about to ask Chump to leave again, Lily held his hand and asked, "What time should I meet her tomorrow?"
Upon hearing that, Chump raised his head to look at Lily. ‘Around 10 in the morning. It could be any time that is convenient for you as well."
They were flexible about the time, and it looked easier to negotiate things with them, which was the opposite of how forceful Heather used to be. Lily pondered before asking again, "I heard she’s returning home tomorrow, isn't she? Ms. Riggs has bought her plane ticket, right? If I meet with her late, won't it delay her schedule?"
This matter was not a secret, as Heather did not do it secretly. They even knew Ralph would return to the Riggs Estate with her.
Initially, they thought Heather had ulterior motives for inviting Lily over tomorrow. However, Lily wondered whether or not Heather was afraid of missing her flight.
‘How can Heather be so flexible about the time?’
"Well, you'll learn about this once you meet Ms. Riggs,” Chump said after some hesitation, "Ms. Riggs promised she would not hurt you. There are some things she wishes to discuss with you."novelbin
