Chapter 995


    Heather felt she was already showing mercy.She disliked such intimate contact with other men.She


    only gave him a minor punishment and a heavy warning as she remembered she still had more


    important things to do and could not offend Ralph.


    Ralph was unguarded, and the cut Heather left on his lip made him grimace in pain.


    He was furious.


    "You''re crazy! Are you sick?!"


    She only intended to teach him a small lesson, but his scolding made Heather’s face shrouded with a


    Ralph felt even more furious after cursing, but Heather’s cold eyes, which looked like she wanted to eat

    him alive, terrified him.


    He regretted what he had said as his heart trembled in fear.


    "That really hurt!"


    His momentum weakened subconsciously.


    He flinched a little when he looked at her.


    Ralph hissed in pain and raised his hand to touch his lips.


    He stopped before touching it as he was afraid of the pain, so he dejectedly put down his hand.


    Heather only revealed her murderous aura momentarily.


    She felt deep disdain at his cowardly appearance instead —what a coward.


    She would not want to continue her rtionship with him if the Russell family had not hidden the secret


    kickboxing handbook too well.


    She turned around, poured a ss of cold water, and handed it to him, "Here."


    Ralph looked at her with fear and puzzlement.He was afraid she would ssh the ss of water on his


    face in the next second.


    "Rinse your mouth.It''ll reduce the pain," Heather said coldly.


    Her attitude remained cold but was much better than the deadly look in her eyes.


    Ralph quickly took the ss and rushed to the bathroom.


    Just as he was about to pour it into his mouth, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head,


    and looked out.


    "You...didn''t put any salt in, did you?"


    Heather was astounded.She shrugged and did not answer his question directly.


    "Shouldn’t you know if I have that in my room?"


    Ralph thought her words sounded reasonable since it would not make sense for salt to be in the


    bedroom.


    Even so, he still felt nervous when he was about to drink from the cup.He turned on the tap and poured


    out the water.


    Then refilled the ss and rinsed his mouth.


    Heather noticed his actions as she stood outside the bathroom.


    She snorted with disdain as she saw him wash with his head bent down.


    She heard the sound of water sshing, scoffed in contempt, and then turned around to look away.


    Heather walked toward the door to scan the corridor.


    Since the house looked ordinary outside, Heather purposely found an excuse to live in it.


    She had roughly looked around and thought it was no different from any ordinary mansion.


    After deep contemtion, she thought the family had likely kept the book in a hiddenpartment


    since it was a crucial artifact.


    Influential families like the Russells must have secret rooms, passages, and other hidden ces.


    Her family, for example, was on a rtively isted ind and was supposed to be safe.


    Even so, they had many hidden secret passages as they were not just to guard against outsiders but


    also against her family’s own rebellious family members.


    Heather pondered and felt that she still needed Ralph if she wanted to find the secret kickboxing


    handbook as soon as possible.
