After some thought, Lily turned to look at Chump again, but her gaze looked more determined this time. "Okay, I'll be there! Tell Ms. Riggs I'll be there at 10, and I'll be on time."
Upon getting Lily's confirmation. Chump's blank face showed a hint of relief as he lowered his head respectfully." Well be expecting you, Mrs. Russell."
"Li..." Alexander was about to say something, but Lily stopped him again by pressing her hand on his as she shook her head.
He suppressed his urge and waited until Chump left to ask,” Why did you agree to meet with her? What if she has a trap set up for you or tries to trick you again? It's best if you don't meet up with her tomorrow."
"If she were the past Heather, it'd be difficult for me to deal with her, but don't forget she's no longer the same Heather she used to be," Lily smiled, saying those words, which sounded like a tongue twister.
Alexander understood that "Heather" could not combat at all now and that she posed no threat to Lily. However, he could not help but still worry about it.
"It's easy for you to deal with someone clear about their ill intentions toward you, but it's different when someone hides their evil motives. If Heather hurts you tomorrow, defending yourself against her will be tough. I'll go with you tomorrow if you insist on going." That was the most Alexander could compromise on the situation.
"If Heather were willing to have you come with me, the negotiation earlier wouldn't have ended like this." Lily smiled.
"Don’t worry. I’m not a kid anymore. Also, although I can't go against her troops alone if we start a fight, dealing with a fake and weak Heather is a piece of cake for me."
She planned to counter each of Heather's moves, but Alexander was still worried. "But..."
"What about this? If I sense that something isn't right, I'll text you right away. Then you can barge into her place with your people immediately. How about that?" Lily winked at Alexander and asked in a relaxed manner.
Seeing that look of hers, Alexander could only keep his worries to himself. He understood that it was challenging to change Lily's mind once she had decided.
However, he was still dissatisfied with her choice and glared at her. "Since I won't be able to stop you, remember always to put your safety first. Nothing is as important as your safety, do you understand?”
Lily nodded and wrapped her arms around Alexander's neck, smiling, "Yes, sir!"
Hannah and Ralph were still in the dark basement, and it had been 24 hours since they last ate or drank anything.
They were hungry and thirsty, leaving them with no energy at all.
It was fine for Hannah because she received such a punishment whenever she made a mistake in the past. Moreover, she was still suffering from the blow of her failure, so she was numb and unable to feel anything. However, it was a different case for Ralph.
He had always lived comfortably. Although he had gotten kicked out of the Russell family, Hannah came to his rescue immediately, so he had never suffered. Now that he had starved for a whole day, he was on the verge of breaking down.
"Annie. Annie, are you okay?” He nudged Hannah lightly with his arm and asked.
"Yeah," Hannah answered simply and said nothing else.
"Annie, do you think we're going to die here?” His voice was trembling. Then he continued in a softer voice, "What about this? You apologize to her when she comes back again. Let's apologize and promise we'll never go against her anymore in exchange for our freedom.”
Hannah was stunned upon hearing his suggestion before she turned to look at him. "How could you say such a thing? I won't be her shadow anymore in the future! Never in my life again will I do that!" novelbin
"But you'll die if you don't!" Ralph replied.
