Chapter 1121
Heather called Ralph to test him. However, she became somewhat interested when she heard his
confident tone. "Can you tell me how you plan to take Alexander down in just a day? I'm quite
interested now."
Even if Ralph was only boasting, he should make it sound believable. Heather believed Alexander
would not have survived in the business industry for such a long time if Ralph could trounce him.
Although Alexander was younger than Ralph, he took over the family business at a very young age.
Initially, many thought Alexander was too inexperienced to lead the family. However, he convinced
everyone of his abilities, and almost everyone acknowledged him.
Alexander was a capable leader, and the family business had never been better under his leadership.
Yet, Ralph claimed he would soon replace Alexander and take over the family business in one day.
Heather wondered how that would be possible. Even with the family elders present, it would not mean
Ralph would succeed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Riggs family also had their elders, who were only responsible for family affairs. Their influences
could never reach the company. Besides, the company's board of directors would not allow the family
elders to overstep their boundaries.
Even though Heather was curious about why Ralph was so confident in replacing Alexander, she did
not think he would succeed. There was a part of her that was waiting to mock his failure.
'There wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, would there? You should attend the meeting if you're
interested to see what will happen. I'll save you a VIP seat," Ralph said.
Then he quickly continued, as he was worried Heather would hesitate,"
Though this is a family meeting, we’re still technically engaged, so you can still attend this meeting as
my fiancee."
Heather gave his proposal some thought and replied, "Fine. I’ll see you tomorrow." She hung up and
smiled.
'This is getting interesting.’
Chump, standing beside Heather, could not help but ask, "Ms. Riggs, are you sure you want to attend
the meeting?"
"Sure, why not? It doesn't matter to me if he wins or loses, but just the thought of witnessing an internal
conflict within the Russell family excites me," She looked at him and continued, "I'm about to leave for
home anyway, so why not have some fun before that?"
'Til get the car ready," Chump said.
Heather nodded and went to look for something suitable to wear. She opened her closet and chose an
appropriate outfit.
She was about to change when she felt a sudden rush of blood to her heart. Heather could not breathe,
as if something was pressing against her chest. She gently stroked her chest with one hand with the
other on the table supporting her as she tried to steady herself.
It was an unusual sensation that had been happening recently, but the frequency was increasing
rapidly. Sometimes, Heather even felt her insides churning, like something was about to break out.
She thought it was a sign that her inner strength was about to improve, so she did not pay much
attention to it and tried her best to take slow, deep breaths to ease her discomfort.

However, this issue happened too frequently and was especially bad today. It felt like there was a
heavy stone pressing down on Heather's chest. She felt like she was suffocating. She was standing
upright, but her eyes became blurry.
She took a few deep breaths and steadied herself. Heather tried to adjust her breathing method to calm
herself, but in the process, she felt worse, making her cough and spit a mouthful of blood. Her blood
was a dark red, looking like it contained a tinge of black.
"Ms. Riggs!" Chump came rushing in as he had just returned from getting the others to prepare the car.
He wanted to check with Heather on when they should leave but walked in on her spitting blood.
"Don't panic.” Heather lifted her hand and gasped for air. Then she wiped the blood from her mouth
with the back of her hand and noticed the blood’s color.
Ironically, after spitting out blood, she felt slightly better. Though her body was still weak, and her mind
clouded with confusion, she did not know if this was because of the kickboxing skills she was learning
from the secret handbook or something else.
