Chapter 1105
"There’s no secret! I was trying to bait her, yet you believed me!" He bellowed before turning around to
enter his room and kicking the door shut.
Celine was upset after being shut out like this and pursed her lips. "Why are you so angry?!”
Then she looked at her phone, which was hot from his grip, and silently jotted down Heather’s phone
number. Maybe she could find out something from this.
As soon as she turned around, she saw her mother standing at the other end of the corridor, quietly
looking in their direction. This startled Celine, and she immediately walked toward Margaret.
"Mom,” Celine called out.
"What were the two of you arguing about?" Margaret heard the quarrel but didn't catch what was
said.
"It's nothing. He took my phone and made a call. "Mom, are Ralph and... Heather all right?" Celine

Judging from Ralph’s attitude just now, it seemed like their relationship was a little rocky. Although they
weren't the best couple before this due to Heather's weird temper, it still looked harmonious on the
surface.
Now, it seemed like the relationship was crumbling.
This was a surprise to Margaret. "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I just feel like the two of them are breaking up. Heather seems to have blocked his phone,
so he wanted to use mine to call her." This was her guess after eavesdropping at the door.
Although she couldn't hear anything clearly, it vaguely sounded like they were arguing.
"That's impossible!" Margaret was dazed when she heard this. "Ralph told me two days ago that they
reached a cooperative relationship."
"A cooperative relationship?" Celine quickly caught on and asked.
At this moment, Margaret knew that she had slipped up. She was the only one who knew about the
secret handbook exchange between Ralph and Heather.
Now that it had slipped her mouth, she couldn't be sloppy about it, or it might arouse suspicion.
So she went along with the story. "As I said before, Ralph will have a share in the Riggs family once he
gets married to Heather, and he'll officially be a part of the Riggs Group."
"And Heather agreed?" Celine raised an eyebrow suspiciously.
She found it impossible for Heather to agree unless she was out of her mind.
Although Celine didn't know the purpose behind Heather's marriage with Ralph, she knew there was
one. If it were for business purposes, Alexander would undoubtedly be a better choice. Ralph's shares
in the Russell family were nothing compared to Alexander's. He did not even have as much as some of
the company’s major shareholders did.
Celine could not figure out what Heather saw in her younger brother but was sure that it was not
because of love.

Now that Margaret mentioned a cooperative relationship, Celine found it even weirder. What
cooperative relationship was Margaret talking about?
"Of course she did. Why wouldn't she? After all, both of them will benefit from it. You shouldn't
underestimate your brother. Although he's a bit of a slacker, it's not like he doesn't care about the
company," Margaret said with a sigh. "It's just..."
"It's just that he's not-"
"All right!" Margaret quickly interrupted Celine. "You shouldn't worry about it. No matter what happens,
it's not the situation that I want to see."
Margaret had no idea how it had fallen to this extent. She had been thinking about it for days, yet she
still couldn't figure it out. All of these were keeping her up at night.
She had not slept well and was feeling groggy all the time. When she thought of the coming Saturday,
she felt a prick in her head.
Seeing that Margaret did not want to talk about this any longer, Celine stopped questioning and pulled
her lips into a thin line. She was still a little unconvinced. "Mom, are you saying...are you saying that
you've seen the DNA report?"
"Stop worrying about this. I know what to do," Margaret answered lightly.
