Chapter 1081
However, Heather just gave him a contemptuous look with a mocking smile hanging from her lips.
Although she said nothing, it was a significant blow to Ralph. Disbelief washed over him.
At this moment, he was more astonished than he was afraid of her. He grabbed her shoulders, holding
them tightly. "Don't go! Explain what you said earlier! What do you mean by it's fake?"
No one dared to do such a thing to Heather before this. She was taken aback for a moment before her
expression turned dark, and she asked coldly. "What are you doing?"
"Explain it to me! What did you say was fake? You've never seen the authentic handbook, so how
could you say that the one I have is fake? You must be purposely deceiving me so you can snatch the
book away from me! You don't want to spend any money to get it, do you?
"Pfft! Look at you calling me greedy when you’re the genuinely greedy one! Heather Riggs, I had no

to me!
"You've never thought about giving me any reward in return for the secret handbook. You just said all
those things so I could get this handbook for you, right?"
This thought formed in Ralph's mind quickly, and he believed that his assumptions were correct.
Otherwise, he could not understand why Heather would say that his secret handbook was fake when
she had never seen it before.
Moreover, she had never gotten the book, so she would not know the contents. How could she be so
sure that his handbook was fake? He was confident that she was just lying to him!
With that thought in mind, he became less agitated and calmed down gradually, loosening his grip on
Heather's shoulders as well. "Pfft. You're too naive! Do you think you can trick me with that?"
Heather shrugged, finding it hilarious that he could confidently say those words as if he were right.
"Whatever floats your boat!"
Then she shook his hands off of her forcefully.
How could Ralph give up now? He stretched his hands forward, wanting to stop her again, but her cold
voice sounded. "I'm warning you for the last time. Don't touch me!"
"Okay fine, but explain things to me first!" He pressed his back against the door instead to stop her
from leaving.
He could not let her leave at this time when he had not gotten the explanation he wanted.
Seeing him being so stubborn made her take a step back. Suddenly, she laughed. "You're right. I lied to
you!"
Before he could smile in relief, she continued, "However, the secret handbook you have is truly the fake
one. As for the real one, it’s with me!"
She grasped onto nothing in the air, but her eyes showed how happy she was to have the secret

This revelation was another massive blow to Ralph.
"It's with you?" His voice raised in pitch suddenly, even slightly shrill to the ears. That was because her
words were too ridiculous.
"You don't believe me, do you?" Heather had enough of playing around with him and wanted to leave.
She let out a breath and leaned on the wall, her arms crossed in front of her chest as she looked at him
leisurely.
"Fine. I can tell you what this is all about. I've never wanted to cooperate with you, and I would never
give you the shares of Riggs Group nor hand over my family's business to an outsider!
"I'll never give away what belongs to my family to someone else regardless of my intention in managing
the business. If the company were to crumble under my management, that would be my family's
problem. It has absolutely nothing to do with you."
"You!" Ralph was riled up.
