Ch. 1001..1010

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1001

In the darkness, Lily felt a strong wind blowing in her direction.She leaned back and ducked swiftly, avoiding the palm that flew across the air.She stood up just in time to receive another punch from the attacker.

The fists came at a breakneck speed, and each punch was ruthless and decisive.

It seemed like this group of people were not ordinary thieves or kidnappers.

Judging from their skills, they seemed to be more robust than the thugs who had kidnapped her in Westwood.

They came prepared and moved like the wind, not allowing Lily to catch her breath.

If it were not for the fact that Lily had been practicing with the Lodge family for many years, she might have died long ago.

Bang! Bang!

The two fists collided with evenly matched strength.It was hard to tell who would win.

However, right at this moment, the whole house lit up again.

"The power must have tripped.I've turned on the backup power for now, and I'm getting the main power source fixed immediately.Go and report—"

The maid paused mid-sentence when he saw the scene in the living room before screaming.

When the light came on, Lily could finally see who had attacked her.

The person wore a tight black suit with a mask on their face, so Lily could not recognize her attacker.

However, judging from the other party's movements, stance, and figure, Lily deduced the person must be a woman.

"Who are you?"

Unlike the maid, Lily was calm.

The woman in black did not answer as she looked Lily up and down coldly.

"You have quite the skills."

Sure enough, it was a woman's voice, and she made no effort to hide the disgust in her tone.

It seemed like she did not take Lily seriously.

The woman had the right to do so since she managed to break into Alexander’s private home, complete with a security system.

Lily knew the woman must not be an ordinary person since the woman snuck in, sabotaged, and planned an attack in silence like this.

The corners of Lily's mouth curled upward.

"I have enough to deal with you!"

With that sentence, the woman in black’s demeanor drastically changed as she threw another punch.

"Hurry up! Call the police!"

The maids were panicking, but no one dared to step forward.

After all, they were just ordinary people and had never experienced anything like this.

"Quick! Call Mr.Russell!"

Someone else added.

As Lily was defending herself, the woman stopped and jumped back, leaving a gap between them.

"Forget it! We'll fight it out another day!"

With that, she ran.

"Quick, stop her!"

A commotion followed, but even after all the shouting, there was no way to stop the woman.She disappeared into the wind in just a few jumps.

"Madam! The thief has escaped!"

One of the maids yelled frantically.

"Call the police!"

"It's fine!"

Lily raised her hand to stop the maid.

Her composure calmed the maids down, and after a while, they were not as flustered as they were before.

"Madam, Mr.Russell is on the line..."

Someone handed her a phone.

Lily sighed before picking it up.

"Hello?"

"Was there a break-in?"

Alexander asked directly.

He did not believe that a thief could break into the house.

After all, with all the security measures he had set up, it was not easy for any ordinary thieves to enter.

However, he had one particular person in mind who could do such a thing.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1002

"It wasn't a thief.It's fine," she said softly, not wanting him to worry.

"Are you sure?"

After a pause, he blurted, "I'm coming home now!

"It's fine!"

Lily rubbed her temples as she frowned and said, "Look, I'm here talking to you.Everything's fine.The person left.Don't listen to what the maids are saying.They're just nervous, and you know how they like to make a fuss."

On top of the fact that the maids were all regular people, Alexander had instilled in them that Lily's safety and comfort came first.

They were to inform him whenever she felt uncomfortable.

Therefore, they would even rush to her when she descended the stairs.

Now that there was a thief that fought her, it surprised Lily that none of them passed out.

"Are they making a big fuss, or are you downplaying things?"

Alexander sighed from the other end of the phone.She knew how he was, and he also understood how she thought.

In order to not let him worry, she would always only tell him the good things.

"It's really fine."

After pondering for a moment, Lily continued softly, "I fought with the person who broke in.I think she's just here to test my skills.I think she knows what I'm capable of.She must be from a family of kickboxers as well.I don't think there's any malicious intent."

"You fought her?!"

Alexander's voice amplified, and she subconsciously pulled the phone away.

"I'm fine.I-"

Before she finished speaking, he had already hung up the phone.

‘sh*t! I should've known this would happen!'

In less than 20 minutes, Alexander was already home.He ran to Lily and held her hands nervously, looking at her up and down.

"Are you hurt? Do you feel any discomfort? Let me take you to the hospital."

With that, he was ready to pick her up.

"Stop!"

She quickly held onto him, trying to calm him down.

"I'm fine.I'm really fine! Look, I'm not injured.Look at me!"

Frowning, he scrutinized her.

There were indeed no visible injuries.

However, he still said, "Just because there aren't any external injuries, it doesn't mean they aren't any internal ones.

It's best if we go to the hospital to get you checked."

Lily was speechless! This guy wasn't convinced! "Alexander Russell!"

Where was the cold-hearted president, the indifferent man that everyone knew? This was an entirely different side of him.

"I'm really fine! If you continue like this, I'll move out and not live here anymore!"

"Don't! Why do you want to move out? Isn't it more dangerous if you live elsewhere? Where are you going to go? Back to the Lodge family? That won't work!"

Alexander blurted nervously.

"Okay, okay.We don't have to go to the hospital if you don't want to."

Lily shook her head helplessly.She had to get angry for him to calm down.

Then, as the two sat down together, he was still looking at her worriedly.

"Then...I'll just call the doctor over to see if you're okay.

‘What?! Does this man not listen to a word I say?!'

After dismissing the maids, the couple returned to their room and lay in bed.It was only when he took her hand and put it against his chest that he felt more at ease.

When he heard about the "thief" that broke into the house and how Lily fought her, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Although Alexander knew how skilled Lily was and that no ordinary person could hurt her, he couldn't help but still feel nervous and scared.He was worried that she might suffer.

"I'm fine!"

Lily lifted her other hand and traced the outline of his cheek with her fingers, comforting him.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1003

"Do you know who it was?"

The surveillance tapes in the house had been cleared.

It was obvious that the woman had come prepared.

Alexander felt a heaviness in his heart, and for the first time, he felt like he faced a crisis.

Lily shook her head.

"It's a woman, but she was wearing a mask.I don't think I know her."

Alexander fell silent when he heard this.He appeared to have a good idea of who it was.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, ''Are you sure you're not injured?"

"There you go again!"

Lily feigned anger and reached out to poke his forehead.

"I'm fine! Although she was fast and ruthless, she gave me space to react.Maybe she just wanted to test me.

"I'm guessing she must also be from a family of kickboxers.Do you think it's..."

She hesitated to continue because of her uncertainty.

"Heather Riggs," Alexander said calmly.

At this point, it made no sense for him to continue hiding it from her.

It would only make things even more dangerous.He decided it would be best to talk to her so they could decide what to do next.

"That name sounds familiar."

Lily nodded.

After devoting herself to the perfumery industry and being away from the Lodge family for so long, she knew little about the other kickboxing families.She thought the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't put a face to it.

"She's the eldest daughter of the Riggs family and is now their family heir,"

Alexander explained, "Also, she’ll soon be my aunt."

"Your aunt?"

Lily sat up, surprised by what she heard.

An elder...

"Yeah!"

He, too, sat up while nodding.He then covered her in a blanket and put his hands around her.

"She's engaged to Ralph, and their wedding should be around the same time as ours."

Lily was stunned.

"Then why did she sneak up on me?"

Even after thinking about it, she still didn't quite understand what was happening.

"If she wanted to test my skills, she could have openly asked."

"Perhaps, it's for her...handbook."

Lily was now even more shocked.

The more she listened, the weirder it became and the more confused she was.

"Handbook? What handbook?"

It seemed like this matter was more serious than she thought.

"I think it's more than that."

After a pause, Alexander got out of bed to pour himself a glass of water.

While he drank, his mind wandered to what Justin had said to him before, and his face turned solemn.

"Actually...at first, I didn't want to tell you about this."

"You should've told me,"

Lily mumbled as she sat there quietly.

"I know."

Alexander nodded and continued, "I didn't expect her to be so bold or capable of bypassing our security system and wiping out the surveillance tapes. This woman is indeed something else."

"Most members of any ancient kickboxing families would disappear completely as they garnered no talent or knowledge.

Those who make a name for themselves in such a short time would mean that they must have some actual skills."

Lily didn't believe she possessed such a talent.She did not continue her practice, nor did she continue learning about it.

When it came to kickboxing, it mainly relied on talent, and Lily's interest in perfumes overpowered it.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1006

When Alexander was about to withdraw his hand, Lily grabbed it.He raised his eyebrows as she asked quietly, "How about..."

Her cheeks were flushed as she bit her lower lip lightly.

"Let’s do it."

Alexander's eyes flashed with shock.

Of course, he wanted to.He had to suppress his lust every time he hugged her to sleep.

It was torture, but he knew he must resist for her body and their child's health.

Although Lily spoke directly, her eyes quickly moved away with a shy expression on her face.

Alexander laughed and lowered himself to kiss her forehead, cheek, and lips.His lips just touched hers quickly and left again.

Lily opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Silly, we have a lifetime to do it.Now none of this matters for your health.Understand?" Alexander said softly.

"Hmm," She responded softly.

"Good night!"

After kissing her forehead again, Alexander got up and got dressed.

Lily looked at him and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you coming to bed?"

"I still have something to take care of., so you go to bed first."

After thinking for a while, he added, "Don't worry.I will never hide anything from you in the future."

Lily nodded as she thought about Heather.

"Um, about Heather..."

"She tested you today, so she probably won't return soon.Her purpose is to get her hands on the secret handbook.I'm unsure if she has other purposes, but I'll take care of this."

After a pause, Alexander added, "Don't confront her face-to-face before that.Even if you can protect yourself, there's no need to fight with a lunatic."

That was what Heather was in his eyes—a lunatic.

‘Heather would even bet her life on the secret handbook.Did she not think she might not even find it if she married Ralph or that it could just be a myth or legend? I wonder if she doesn’t intend on marrying at all and that it’s just a front to get the handbook before she marries"

Alexander wanted to meet Heather in person now.

Meanwhile, Heather wore her coat with half of her shoulders exposed as she sat on the sofa in the Riggs family home.

There was a small bruise on her smooth shoulders, and the air smelled faintly of medicinal oil.

Her expression was gloomy, and the atmosphere in the whole house seemed as low as her mood.

After the servant rubbed the medicinal oil on Heather, she went away and dared not speak.

Everyone feared that Heather would scold them if they spoke since she was in a bad mood.

Hannah had been hiding behind the door for a while.She observed Heather and dared not come out.

However, she was unwilling to return to her basement room either.She had been staying in her tiny room for the past few days but felt uneasy.

It was a feeling she had never felt before.She could stay in the room for months, but this time she became restless even though it was only a few days.She kept thinking of that man's face, thinking of him kissing her, his breath and strength.She knew that none of this belonged to her, but she still could not help thinking about it.

‘I must be losing my mind"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1005

Alexander’s mood instantly changed when he saw her laughing.

‘ How can she tease me like that?!’ He looked at her smile and immediately grabbed the back of her head and pulled her in for a passionate kiss.

The couple was out of breath when it was over, but their body heat soared.

Alexander had been extra meticulous ever since she was pregnant.

Not only did he not do anything intimate, he also tried his best to avoid kissing her.

According to him, they should not play with fire as it might get out of control.

However, this time, it was obvious that both of them were on the verge of losing control.

"Alex..." Lily called out softly with a hoarse voice.

That voice had an extra bit of charm and seductive power to it.

Alexander quickly raised his hand and put his finger on her lips to prevent her from talking again.

He was afraid he might not be able to control himself.

Faced with his abstinence, Lily found it both funny and heartbreaking.She blinked and suddenly stuck out her tongue to lightly lick his finger.

He instantly pulled his hand back and raised his eyes to look at her sullenly.

‘She’s playing with fire! Doesn’t she know how hard it is for me to suppress my urges?!’

"You're naughty!"

Alexander pressed his thumb firmly on Lily’s lips and stood up, dropping her hand simultaneously.

Lily got caught off guard and could not react for a moment as she stared at him with wide eyes.

Then she watched him turn around and head straight into the bathroom.

The sound of water soon followed.

‘Did I go overboard by flirting with him like that?’

After listening to the sound of water for a moment, Lily realized her husband had no intention of coming out.

Therefore, Lily simply got up, took a dry towel with her, and walked into the bathroom.

The man stood with his back against her.

Under the stream of water, his sculpted back was well-defined.

The water droplets that glided down his body made Lily’s mouth dry.

Alexander heard something and turned around.His gaze was burning with passion.

"You're really pushing me off the edge, aren't you?" He said hoarsely.

Water flowed from his head, along his hair to his long lashes, and splashed down in all directions.

Lily blushed as she hurriedly put the dry towel on the rack beside her.

"You—don't waste water!"

After saying that, she quickly left the bathroom and closed the door.Her heart was pounding as she held her chest with one hand.Her heart did not even beat this fast when she fought Heather.

Although Lily and Alexander had been married for a while and had been intimate more than once, she still could not help but react this way every time she saw his body.

Just as her imagination began to run wild, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

Then Alexander walked out, wrapped in the towel she gave him, and cold air hung around him.

He noticed Lily had flinched and walked over, pulling her into a hug.

"Ah..." She mumbled.

At that moment, Alexander had already carried her onto the bed with a comforter pulled over her.

When Lily opened her eyes to look at him, she saw him tucking her in.

Then he gently picked up her hand and put it under the comforter, saying, "Although there are heaters in this house, you should be careful not to catch a cold.I'll get them to turn up the heat tomorrow.Sleep well, now."

As his fingers brushed against hers, a sense of guilt rose in Lily.It was evident he was cold from the shower.

Although it was fun for her, Alexander had to take a cold shower in such weather because of her.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1004

"Yes, but this person has great ambitions.She was behind what happened to the Lodge family back then."

"You mean...the Light-Shadow Killers?"

Lily frowned as the memories from the past came rushing in.

Although Henry was filled with wishful thinking and had many things planned, Lily had always felt that someone was always controlling him from behind the scenes.She had told Justin about this back then, and he said that he would look into it.

Later, he became so occupied that he pushed this matter aside, and she did not pursue it any further.

Now, she found out that Heather was behind the Light-Shadow Killers!

"That means she manipulated Henry into trying to take over the Lodge family and make him her puppet?" Alexander nodded.

"I supposed that was her plan, but who would've thought that even someone like Henry couldn't be so easily manipulated? While she was using him to gain the power of the Lodge family, he was also using her to seize power.Their only downfall was that they had miscalculated and underestimated your and Justin's strength."

Lily's face turned hot when she heard this.

"I didn't even do anything."

Although she did some small things here and there, Justin was the one who turned the tide.

As far as business was concerned, he was better at it, as well.He was the most capable patriarch of the Lodge family.

Alexander rubbed her head gently and smiled.

"What you're capable of is clear to me."

Lily shook her head awkwardly after being petted like a dog.

"Wait, you mentioned a handbook.What handbook are you talking about? Although I left the Lodge family, I've never heard Grandpa mention anything about one."

Could it be that some secret handbooks were passed to Justin? "It doesn't belong to your family.It belongs to mine."

Hearing this, Lily's eyes widened in shock.

"Your family?! But...but your family isn't..."

The Russells had been in the business field for generations.

They worked hard to expand their influence over the years and built a mighty business empire.

They had never before been reported to have dabbled in kickboxing.

What handbook could pique the interest of Heather if it wasn't from an ancient kickboxing family? "Although no one in our family practices kickboxing, there is indeed a secret kickboxing handbook.I'm not clear about this.I just know that it exists and I think that's why she came here."

He left out one part of his sentence.

That the reason Heather got engaged to Ralph was probably to try and get her hands on this handbook.

What handbook was worth sacrificing her life for? Were the engagement and marriage just a cover to get it? "Where's the handbook...?"

Lily asked anxiously.

Then, after thinking about it, she started explaining, "I'm not thinking about it.I'm just wondering if she took it."

"I don't think so," Alexander said, shaking his head.

"I didn't tell you about how the Russell Estate was broken into two days ago, but nothing valuable was stolen.It may be related to this, and the theft happened the day after Heather moved in."

Lily looked bewildered.

There was too much information for her to digest.

After a pause, she questioned, "How many things are you hiding from me? What else have you not told me?"

Noticing her displeasure, he quickly lowered himself to look her in the eyes and said, "Nothing.

Nothing else, I swear!

"The only reason I didn't tell you before this was because I don't want you to stress over this and affect your body.Besides, I don't want you to have to deal with Heather."

He pursed his lips with a stoic face.

That woman was bad news, but he couldn't shield Lily from her.

Heather sent herself right up to their front door!

"You id*ot!"

Lily burst into laughter.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1007

Although Hannah hid in a corner, how could Heather not notice her with her years of experience practicing kickboxing? "Come out!"

Heather yelled sharply as a thin body staggered out from the corner.

"H-Heather, I..."

Hannah flinched.

Heather felt annoyed by just looking at her.

How could someone who looks exactly like her but acts so weak exist? Her existence made Heather feel shameful.

"Come here!"

Heather ordered after taking two deep breaths to calm down.

Hannah obeyed habitually and walked toward her sister.

Then she stopped, shrugged, and lowered her head as she dared not look directly at Heather.She stood there, letting Heather look at her from head to toe.

Heather’s eyes paused when she saw the gauze wrapped around Hannah's earlobe.She thought about the earring two days ago and felt uncomfortable.

"Are your ears better?"

Although Heather’s voice was blunt, her tone was at least caring, making Hannah flattered.She suddenly raised her head to look at Heather.

Her eyes resembled a scared little rabbit as she lowered her eyes in panic.

'B-Better."

"That's good.Don't make your own decisions next time!"

"Okay," Hannah replied softly.

Heather suddenly thought of the future.

According to her plan, Hannah would marry Ralph by taking her place.

However, Heather did not think much further ahead.She only thought about the secret handbook and did not care about men.

After all, she even thought of making Hannah replace her by marrying and sleeping with a man since it would save her many troubles.

Then Heather could concentrate on growing her family.

Yet, she changed her mind after spending a few days in the Russell Estate.

Heather recalled Ralph and thought he did not seem as annoying as she had imagined.

She even subconsciously thought about their kiss.

‘Ralph Russell, huh?’ With thoughts in her mind, Heather turned to look at her "copy."

She wondered if Hannah had ever kissed that man or even done more than that.

Hannah became increasingly flustered as her sister slowly approached her.

Hannah’s heart pounded in her chest and almost jumped out of her throat when Heather stood before her.

"H-Heather, I..."

Hannah stammered and trembled.

Heather grabbed her sister’s chin and pinched it before lifting it abruptly and forcing Hannah to look into her eyes.

"Has he ever kissed you?"

Heather suddenly asked as she stroked Hannah's lips lightly with her thumb.

Hannah was astounded as she did not expect Heather to ask this question.

After she realized what Heather had asked, her cheeks slowly turned red.

Her voice was almost inaudible, but her eyes were sharp, "I-I..."

"Hmph, I see,"

Heather snorted as she knew what Hannah meant from her reaction.

‘Jerk!’

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1008

Of course, he was feisty! Heather was annoyed that Ralph could not tell the difference between her and this b*tch.

‘Do me and Hannah resemble each other that much?! Besides our faces, how am I the same as her?’ Hannah was inferior to Heather regarding temperament, character, and capability, so Heather wondered how Ralph could not tell the difference between her and her sister.

"Ah!"

Hannah did not expect Heather’s hand to exert force suddenly, and there was a tingling pain on her lips.She exclaimed as tears instantly filled her eyes.

"Do men like your soft look?"

Heather found her sister's face annoying even though it resembled her exactly.She relaxed her hand abruptly and turned around before continuing, "You'll return to our home tomorrow!"

The tingling sensation on Hannah's lips had not subsided, yet she looked on in surprise and could not believe what she had heard.

"H -Heather?"

‘what did she say? She wants me to go home?!’ Hannah did not want to go back there yet.

Although she refused to follow Heather here, she slowly realized she wanted to stay.

She did not want to return to her "cage" in her family’s home.

Hannah no longer wanted to be a nameless prisoner on that island, facing shameful days without an identity.

Here, she could at least go shopping occasionally, breathe fresh air, and have something of her own with her "Ralphy."

She called him that privately, thinking it was a little secret between them that even Heather did not know, just like he would call her "Annie."

That was one of the few sweet things she had, but now Heather wanted her to go home, so she had to leave this place and Ralph.

Still, she did not want to.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?"

Heather stared at Hannah with eyes full of scrutiny as she turned around.

Hannah was afraid to say anything more before Heather's questioning eyes, let alone consider what Heather would do if she knew that Hannah liked Ralph.

Hannah gulped and whispered, "No.I'm just wondering if you’ve finished your work here.Are you returning home with me?"

"Since when do you take care of my affairs?"

Heather snarled.

"Don't be angry, Heather.I'm afraid it’ll be inconvenient for you when you need me if I'm back home."

After thinking about it, she continued slowly, "It doesn't matter if I go home or stay here.It all depends on your needs."

"Really?"

After hearing Hannah’s explanation, Heather's anger gradually subsided, and most importantly, what Hannah said made sense.

Heather had said it impulsively.She felt mad as long as she imagined Hannah making out with that jerk.

However, her sister had a point.

While staying there, she had to face Ralph and the Russell family, among other things.

She needed Hannah to help her deal with and solve occasional problems.

Heather had gotten used to having a "copy" of herself by her side for years.

If Heather told Hannah to go home, it would be inconvenient to call her back when she needed her.

Plus, no matter where they went, the two went in and out together.

If Hannah returned home alone, there would be a significant risk that others would discover her on the way.

Heather could not help but hesitate when she considered that.

"Heather, I’ll be obedient.I'll stay wherever you want and do whatever you ask!"

After so many years, how could Hannah fail to see Heather's thoughts? She noticed Heather pondering and continued, "I exist only for you!"

The last sentence hit Heather's heart.She pursed her lips.

"Really?"

Although it was an interrogation, she gradually believed it.

"Heather, I live because of you.With your protection, I can live well without worries about food or clothing.I’m happy I can assist you!" Hannah said word by word.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1009

After staring at Hannah for a while, Heather's eyes softened.She raised her hand and patted Hannah's shoulder lightly.

"Alright, you _t Before she could finish her sentence, a maid came in.

"Ms.Heather, there’s a visitor for you.His surname is Russell."

"Russell..."

Heather looked over after a while and saw Hannah's eyes light up.

Although it was only for a moment, she did see it.

‘Hannah did fall in love"

Her thoughts changed again.

"Go back to your room.Don't come out without my order!"

This was expected, and Hannah pursed her lips.

"Okay!"

She turned and walked toward the basement.She trotted away and disappeared around the corner.

However, once she rounded the corner, she could not resist pausing and turning to face the other way.

‘Is it him?’ "Let him in!"

Heather was still wondering whether it was Ralph or Alexander.She sat down again and called someone to clean up the table and brew a pot of tea.

When the tea was served, Alexander walked in.

Seeing that it was him, Heather felt a little disappointed.

"So, it’s you," she said.

She glanced at the corner to the basement.

Although she could not see anyone, she could still feel Hannah’s presence.

"Ms.Riggs,"

Alexander said in a loud voice.

Hannah, still in the shadows, was taken aback for a second before cautiously peeking out to see that the visitor was not Ralph but a stranger.

Her eyes dimmed as she quietly retreated.

Sensing the disappearance of Hannah’s presence, Heather curled up her lips and looked straight at Alexander as she cheered up.

"What’s your purpose for visiting, Mr.Russell?"

"Ms.Riggs, I'm here to give you a wedding gift."

Alexander smiled slightly with a box in his hand.

The box was square and made of wood.

Heather's eyes sank.

"You didn't have to."

"I should!"

He delivered it forward.

However, Heather did not take it.

Instead, she tilted her head slightly, signaling the maid beside her to accept it.

The maid stepped forward to take it knowingly, but Alexander did not refuse.

He handed the box over and said with a smile, "With your skills, why are you so cautious?"

"It's always right to be careful.With our identity, I think you should be able to understand."

Heather smiled lightly but not sincerely.

"Why don't you open it and have a look?"Alexander continued, "Perhaps it’s something that you want."

Heather looked at him with scrutiny and curled her lips.

"How do you know what I want?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1010

"Isn't this why you came to my house? What’s wrong? You dared to visit my wife, but you don't dare open it?"

At this point, it was clear that he knew Heather had attacked Lily.

Even so, Heather did not intend to admit it.She let out a light chuckle and said, "I don't think I understand what you’re talking about.

Why did I visit your wife? When did I go? Your house? Oh, you mean the Russell Estates? Your uncle and I are about to get married, so it makes sense to go to your house. You must refer to me as ‘Aunt" while we're on the subject."

Watching her deny it, Alexander did not force her anymore.

His sight fell on the box.

"That needs to wait till you officially marry my uncle.You won't open my gift because you think I've messed with it or that you won't like it?"

Heather looked at him.It was the first time she had given this legendary man a serious look.She did not think of Alexander as an opponent.

For her, kickboxing was the most important thing.

She had been obsessed with learning kickboxing since she was a young girl.

She did not care much about the family business.

If it were not for her father expanding the family business, the Riggs family would not have such a strong background.

Although she didn't think her father was talented enough to practice kickboxing, she did think it was foolish of him to give it up due to his business.

In the ancient kickboxing era, the Riggs family was ranked in the top three at the beginning, but because of a lack of progress in the family, they gradually fell.

She wished to continue the Riggs family's legacy in kickboxing, restore its reputation throughout history, and spread the word that the Riggs family was the best in the world.

All other families should worship the Riggs family.

Thinking of this, the way she looked at the box changed.He said that this was the gift she wanted.

Could it really be the one she wanted? She narrowed her eyes slightly as she reached out and took the box directly from the maid's hand to open it...

It looked like a book wrapped in brocade.

Heather's breathing became more rapid.

She quickly unwrapped the brocade cloth while trying to calm her racing heart.

Inside, she discovered a book, but it wasn't the one she had been dreaming about— it was a book on meditation.

‘A meditation book?!’ From surprise to great disappointment, she suddenly raised her head and stared at Alexander angrily.

"What do you mean by this?!"

Her reaction seemed to be within Alexander's expectations.

He raised his eyebrows.

"What’s wrong? Don't you like this gift?

"I heard you’re interested in my family's studies and books.I also heard you've read many books since you were young, especially all the kickboxing handbooks.My family didn't have a kickboxing handbook for you, so I thought this meditation book would be helpful.

"It’s said that kickboxers treasure the values they learned the most.No matter what kind of combat sport you learn, your mind is the most important thing.Meditation dissolves the hostility in kickboxing.Hence, this book should be the most suitable for you."

Although what he said was not disrespectful and was spoken sincerely, Heather grew increasingly irritated as she listened.

"Are you kidding me?!"

The meditation book was bent out of shape as she twisted it in her hands.

Alexander was surprised.

"Am I kidding you? How could that be? I'm sincere, but you don't seem to like this gift.If that's the case, then I’ve given the wrong one.I should take it back."

While he spoke, he reached out for it.

Heather pulled back her hands and avoided him.

"Alexander, you may as well speak up if you have anything to say!"

Alexander hid the slight smile as he watched her become enraged, and his expression became dignified.

"This is what I've been meaning to tell you.You could just come out and say what you mean.You can tell me what you want instead of pulling these tricks!"

At this point, it was clear that he knew everything.

Heather sneered, but she was not as angry as before.

"Okay, since you’re so generous, could you lend me the secret kickboxing handbook collected by your family? "

"You are probably mistaken.The Russell family has never had a secret kickboxing handbook.The Russell family is not from your ancient kickboxing world so how could there be such a thing?"

"You said you'd be generous, but you still hide everything!"

Heather snorted coldly, and her eyes suddenly changed.

"I believe you won't give in until you die!"
