Chapter 1116


    Heather knew Hannah was not wrong in her response. Whenever she encountered a simr 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 rxed 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 bes the head of the Russell family."


    "Him?! Is he still dreaming?" Heatherughed aloud to the point she teared up. She seldomughed 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 nning 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 ofparable 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 red 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.


    “I’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 ce 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 be 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…
