Chapter 1076
"Sure," Heather agreed readily. 'TH see you later." Then she hung up the phone without hesitation,
making Ralph somewhat suspicious because she was too quick to decide.
Ralph felt Heather should have been ecstatic and full of anticipation. Despite the fact that she agreed
quickly, her reaction surprised him. It was nothing like what he had imagined at all.
It weirded him out a little, but Heather was unlike any other woman when he thought about it. Hence,
what he found strange about her might be what was usual in her daily life.
With that thought in mind, he hummed a song and headed into the shower to prepare himself for the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnight. They would have a great talk tonight, and he would welcome his brand new life!
At six p.m., Ralph was about to leave for the hotel when Celine appeared. She could not help but
notice he was in high spirits. "Heading out for a wild night?"
"Hey! What are you talking about? I'm going to discuss business and strike a huge deal." Ralph clicked
his tongue before explaining in a delightful tone.
"What kind of deal could you possibly strike? Do you even have the ability to do that now?" Celine

Ralph was not too important to her, but things might change. Her decisions would depend on which
side someone was on, and Alexander was, at the very least, on the same side as she was.
"Mind your own business!" He did not want to continue the conversation. As for the secret handbook,
he had told Margaret to keep it a secret from Celine, thinking it was best she knew nothing about it.

the test results out yet?"
'You want to know about it?" Celine mimicked his tone and asked in return. "Go to the hospital and
check it out for yourself!"
Finally, she went inside the house, leaving him there to watch her leave. He pursed his lips at sight.
'You arrogant b*tch! You'll beg me on your knees when I gain control over the Russell family. Just wait!’
Then he flipped his hair and left the house, confident of his appearance.

back."
Margaret had just eaten her dinner and was feeling drowsy from it. When she heard Celine’s voice, she
forced herself to focus. 'Yeah? You're back. How're the results?"
"It's out." Celine had a strange expression on her face. She walked over to her mother's side with a
folder in her hand. "I think you should mentally prepare yourself before looking at it."
"It's been so many days since the incident happened. What makes you think I haven't prepared myself
for it? I've thought things through. If he isn't related to us by blood, we can't let him, an outsider, take
control of the family's affairs, no matter how much your dad used to adore him.
"The best we can do is give him some money so he can live comfortably in the future, and that’s all we
can do for him."
Margaret looked out the window. Although she did not like her grandson, she watched him grow. If
Alexander were not related to them biologically, all of Hugo’s efforts in the past would be in vain.
