Ch. 971..980

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 971

"There is nothing to regret." He hugged her gently from behind with his palms covering her belly.

"Only you guys are the most important people to me now."

In terms of blood relationships, the Russell family was indeed very close.

They were also his family, but since he was a child, he did not feel any warmth from them.

The only little bit of warmth he felt was also because of his efforts.

Only then his grandfather acknowledged his existence.

What the members of the Russell family did later for wealth and power disappointed him to the core.

Now, only the people in front of him were the most cherished.Lily was about to say something else when his cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

She did not hear him say anything, but his face became more serious, and he unconsciously relaxed his hand that held Lily.

Lily glanced at him and got up to pour a glass of water so he could talk on the phone.

When she was back after drinking water and resting for a while, Alexander had finished talking on the phone, and he looked at her with hesitation.

"What?"

"I'm going back to the mansion tomorrow," he said.

"You changed your mind?" Lily thought he had changed his mind and planned to invite the Russell family to the wedding banquet.

"No, there is something else." He said while shaking his head, "You should rest at home since the wedding is almost ready, so don't go out anymore.If you feel bored, let Olivia come over to accompany you."

His words made Lily feel very strange.She felt that his words meant something else.

"I might be a little busy these two days, and when it ends, I can spend all the time with you," Alexander said thoughtfully as he patted her shoulder lightly.

Although he was very calm, Lily still felt something was in his mind after answering the call.

"Did anything happen?" She asked carefully, You don't let me leave the house?"

"Don't overthink"

He leaned over and kissed her forehead lightly as he was saying, You're just pregnant now, so of course, you should pay more attention. Right?"

Since he did not want to say anything, Lily did not ask anymore and nodded obediently.

"Got it."

"You can't secretly develop any new products behind my back.Put everything aside for now.The main task now is to rest." He said worriedly, fearing that her restlessness would make her go and develop something new.

"Got it! I didn't accept any new orders recently.They are all finished products from the past.I'll let them in the studio to complete them.I had rejected all my orders and only picked a few for Olivia to do it."

"Oh? Can she do it herself?"

"Don't underestimate her.She has the ability.Although she may be a little less talented, she has always worked hard and has solid theory and experience.I don't think she can be an assistant forever.Now that the opportunities are here, I picked a few not-too -difficult orders for her to try first."

After all, although Lily rested temporarily, the studio could not rest.She had to continue to take orders to make a living.

Alexander nodded, respecting her ideas.He wanted her to rest but suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, you recently..."

After hesitating, he continued, "You didn't practice anymore, right?"

"Practice?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to stay still and rest," Alexander said bluntly, stroking her belly gently with his hand.

"It's not advisable to do too much exercise now."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 972

"Got it!" She raised her hand, pushed his head away, and smiled.

"You are so long-winded Why didn't I notice it before? Also, I'm wondering, are you concerned about me or the little one in my belly? Alex, I'm getting jealous!"

"Of course, I’m concerned about both of you.You are both my precious ones!"

He smiled and pulled her into his arms, kissed her cheek, and could not help kissing her again.She was his sweetheart, and he would protect her from any harm! Alexander secretly made up his mind.

Thieves broke into the mansion before dawn and made a mess.It was obvious that it had been tampered with, but the thieves were still loose.It seemed that no valuables were missing.

Everyone was checking their things to see if they had not noticed anything was missing.

Another group of people was looking at the security tape.It was terrible! How they could sneak into the mansion quietly without the surveillance capturing any clues, and no one noticing it, but almost everyone's bedroom was tampered with? How did they not notice someone been through almost every room? Their spine chilled as they thought about it.

It would be an easy task if the thieves wanted to kill them.

Margaret even insisted on calling the police early in the morning to investigate this matter thoroughly and strengthen security measures.

When Alexander entered the door, he saw a room full of people almost gathered together, chattering.It was rare to see.It had been a long time since he saw people from the Russell family get together so well.It was ironic for them to get together because of something like this.

"Alex, you must find out about this matter.It will affect your reputation!" Celine said as soon as she saw him.

Her room was at the innermost side of the corridor.

Who knew someone had gone into it and flipped through? When she got up in the morning, she saw that her closet was open.

For a moment, she thought she had forgotten to close it.

When she realized that burglar broke into the house, she screamed in fright.

Later, one after another, members of the Russell family found out that someone broke into their room, things became serious.

Ralph was the one who panicked the most.

He had already agreed for Heather to come awhile to talk about the marriage today.

He did not expect this kind of thing to happen at home overnight.

How would the picky Ms.Riggs think when she saw it?

"Someone broke into the house?" Alexander said in a low voice.

He had already received a call from Edward last night.

"I don't know what kind of thief dares to come to our house to steal. Ralph, have you called the police?" Ralph frowned in irritation.

"It's useless! If they can avoid all the surveillance cameras.I don't know what it is.Is it a display?! Let me tell you, if they were so familiar to avoid it they must not be ordinary thieves!"

"Ralph, what do you mean by that?"

Margaret was frightened and sat on the sofa to calm down.

When she heard Ralph's words, she frowned and asked.

"Mom, do you not understand what I mean? They could avoid all the surveillance cameras carefully without being noticed by others.I'm afraid they're not ordinary thieves.They must insiders!"

He looked at Alexander meaningfully.

"They broke into our rooms but did not want money or our lives.So, what do they want?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 973

"Insiders?!"

Margaret almost jumped up.

"Who? Who could it be? There’s a thief in our family.We must find it out!"

While she spoke, she looked around as if she wanted to find out who the insider was.

"Mom, don't get agitated.This thief did not want money or our life, so he must be looking for something."

Ralph thought for a while and said, "What do you think it could be?"

Margaret frowned and thought for a while.She seemed to think of something.

"You mean..."

Before she could speak, she stopped abruptly when she saw Ralph's eyes.

"I'm not the thief.How should I know what he is looking for?"

Then she looked at Alexander unhappily.

"Alex, you can’t ignore us when such a big incident happened to the Russell family.It would destroy our reputation.You must find this thief, and don't let him go easily! "

"Grandma, are you sure you haven’t lost anything important?"

Alexander saw everything in Ralph’s eyes when they exchanged looks.He knew that they had something to say.It was normal.

No one treated him as a family except for his grandpa.

They always had their little secrets.

They could tell anyone in this family except for him.

Of course, he was not interested in their little secrets either.

However, he was worried when he heard Edward report that the Light-Shadow Killers had sneaked into the mansion.He originally wanted to rush over overnight.

Unexpectedly, they crept in and out silently.

If they wanted to do something, it would be too late if he brought people back immediately.

Their goal was not to hurt people, so why? What were they looking for? Margaret knew everything but refused to say.He was a little curious about it.

Her eyes flashed hearing his question.She turned her eyes away and said, "How would I know? Our Russell family may look like a big business, but now it is just an empty shell.We do not have that much money.Not like you have no idea since you give us an allowance.Important things? What important things do we have? Hmph!"

She avoided his question, but Alexander did not expose her.

Since she did not want to say it, there was no point continue asking.

"I have checked, we did not lose any important things, so this thief must have other plans.As for what it is, I have no idea yet.Alex, since you are now in charge of the Russell family, you should take care of this matter.If the words spread out..."

Ralph smiled and stopped talking.He glanced casually, saw the clock hanging on the wall, and suddenly realized.

"Oh no! Heather is coming today, and it's getting late!"

After saying this, Margaret remembered and hurriedly responded, "That's right.Call someone to clean up now.It's a mess here."

"Celine.See if the kitchen has bought all the ingredients needed.I almost forgot about it."

Margaret shouted.

Celine lowered her head and said softly, "I went to see it, and everything is ready.Don't worry.It was ready last night."

"Don't worry? It is a mess here.Who knew if we caused some trouble and offended someone, and this is their revenge."

Margaret glanced at Alexander, meaning it was him.Ralph had already put on his coat.

"I'm late.I'll go and pick her up.Mom, I'll be right back!"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 974

"Okay.Slow down and drive safely on the road!" Margaret said with concern.

She had always been extremely fond of her youngest son.

Seeing that this marriage was about to happen, it must be perfect.

After thinking about it, she looked at Alexander, who had just hung up the phone, and cleared her throat.

"There's nothing you can do here.You've seen it.So, head on back to the company."

After all, it was the eldest daughter of the Riggs family they were talking.Especially when the marriage was not official.

Margaret did not want anything to go wrong.

Especially this grandson of hers was simply the most unstable ticking time bomb in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Alexander curled his lips.

"I have already made arrangements for the company.I'll stay here today to accompany you."

"I don't want your companionship!" Margaret blurted and yelled.

She felt she was being inappropriate.

Then she said slowly, "I mean.There are still many things for you to do in the company.The family business is so big.Since your grandfather handed it over to you, you should do well.As for this thief, we could not feel at ease as long as he is free outside."

"I'll take care of the thief.I have taken over the business for a long time.So, don't you worry.It's rare for me to have time, and I heard that Ralph is getting engaged today.I could meet my future aunt."

He smiled faintly but coldly.His smile was not sincere if observed.

Margaret wanted to say something else, but Alexander had already stood up.

"I'll go check upstairs,"

Seeing him go upstairs, Celine pulled Margaret's arm gently.

"Mom, let him go."

He had not been back to this mansion for a long time.He knew that the visit last night was not only by the Light-Shadow killers or the Riggs family, but he did not know what they were here for.

Before his grandfather's death, he had explained about the company and the Russell family, but he passed away before he could finish mentioning the Russell family secret for generations.

Of course, Margaret would not tell him.

As for the rest of the Russell family, they did not know about it.

Even if they knew, they would not tell him.

He could only investigate secretly by himself.

Since it was a secret of the Russell family, the investigation must lay low.

After searching quietly for a long time, he could not find out what it was.

Did the Light-Shadow Killers come for this secret too? He stood in the corridor and looked around.

He had checked everything he could.

If he missed a place, it would be Margaret's room.

After all, she was an elder, so he could not ask to search her room, which was always inconvenient.

Alexander pondered for a moment standing at the door.

Just as he was about to reach out to push the door, he heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs, followed by someone talking.

Was Heather here? Did she reach so soon? His finger touched the door panel.He thought for a while and retracted.He tried turning the doorknob, but it was locked as expected.

Ralph was introducing loudly downstairs, "Heather, this is my mother."

"Hello, Mrs.Russell."

Heather nodded lightly, but she looked indifferent and not enthusiastic.

Margaret knew that she had a strong temper.She was well prepared, so she did not mind.She said with a smile, "Ms.Riggs has extraordinary class.You are different from the spoiled girl I usually meet! You have a friendly demeanor!"

Margaret turned to Celine while talking as she was seeking resonance.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 975

"That's right,"

Celine responded smilingly, "I heard you have a different class than others, but seeing it today, I’m convinced! With your charm and power, no wonder you can manage such a big family.I admire that.I would be satisfied if I had half of your charm when I was young."

"You just goof around all day.You're not as sensible as Ms.Riggs," Margaret said.

Heather was a little irritated by the way they spoke to impress her.

Accustomed to hearing flattery, she was tired of hearing it.She never thought that even the members of the Russell family would be so flattering.

All of the members of the Russell family had declined in her mind, save for Alexander.

When she first came here, she wanted to take Alexander down, but she gave up after doing a comprehensive investigation.

It was because he was shrewd and challenging to deal with, and it was almost impossible to find any weaknesses in him.

It was not because Heather feared difficulties but because she did not want a man to hinder her career.

When facing a man who was as shrewd as herself, it would be troublesome to start with him.

Ralph was different.He was stupid and greedy enough, and it was too easy to start with him.

"Since we know each other, let us get to the point."

She hated to waste time on insignificant things.She surprised everyone in the Russell family.

They looked at each other.

Margaret smiled and said, "Ms.Riggs is straightforward, but...did you come alone today? "

Heather looked to her left and right, shrugged, and said, "Yeah?"

"This...is a marriage matter.Won't your parents come to discuss it? " Margaret asked curiously.

Although Heather was in charge of the Riggs family now, her parents were still alive, so it was acceptable if they did not show up for other things.

However, why would they not meet the in-laws for such a huge event as marriage?

"Heather said she could handle her life's major events by herself.Her parents are very open-minded." Ralph explained quickly.

He was also puzzled about this point before.

That was what Heather told him, but she also added, "It doesn't have to be you.You need to understand that I don't like you.I chose you for your background.We’re all adults, and we all know what maximization of profit is, so let’s avoid those clichés."

He was surprised but agreed with her words, although he was somewhat upset.

She was right.

If it were not for the power of the Riggs family to help him, he would not be pleasing and coaxing her.

Everything was for the maximization of benefits, but these words came from her mouth coldly, and saying it would still make people uncomfortable.

It was as if he had no charm at all.

It was because his surname was Russell, and he was the youngest son that Margaret favored the most.

Other than that, there was no personal reason to like him.

If so, why was she shy in front of him? Why did she let him kiss her? Why did she pierce her ears for him?

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 976

While Ralph thought about this, he looked toward her ears subconsciously.He was not surprised to see the earrings he had gifted her were sitting nicely on her earlobes.He felt much better.

Women were such contradicting beings! Heather obviously was in love with him but acted like she did not care much about him.

Ralph concluded that this was probably due to her having to play the role of the head of the household in public.He would just play along with it, then.He was confident that she would willingly choose to stay home, raise their kids and be an obedient housewife after marriage.

By then, he would have the Riggs family’s power and wealth in his pocket.He would then have enough power to go against Alexander, and with the help of his mother and sister, taking back control of the Russell family would just be a walk in the park.He felt much better after changing his perspective, so he also started to side with Heather.

Unfortunately, Margaret disagreed with her son’s view.

She was unhappy with Heather’s attitude.

Margaret was, after all, elderly, and her views and opinions were naturally conservative.

Although she would appreciate the Riggs family’s help in supporting her son to take back what was his, since they had agreed to this marriage proposal, the Riggs family's elders should also be here.

They should be going over the details of the marriage.

Heather's attitude seemed like she did not care about this marriage and took this matter lightly.

Since her son had decided to side with Heather, and they were at a disadvantage, she softened her tone and asked, "Ms.Riggs, what else do you have in mind? What about the..."

"I suggest that we make it a simple wedding.As for how we’re doing it, I’ve asked my secretary to make copies of my proposal.You can have a look at it,"

She finished and beckoned her assistant toward them.Her assistant stepped forward and took out some documents from her briefcase.She gave Margaret and Ralph each a copy.

Margaret and Ralph were equally taken aback by surprise as they had never seen anyone who would discuss a marriage like they would at business meetings.

This seemed more like a business trade fully equipped with a proper contract and documents.

Margaret's frown deepened as she stared at the document in her hand.It seemed like Heather had entrusted all the planning to her assistant instead.

She did even bother to show interest in her own marriage? The document also gave Margaret a headache, and she could no longer take this.

Margaret placed the document dismissively on the table and started massaging her temples, "Ms.Riggs, I’m an old lady, so l can’t really understand what has been written on the documents.Why don’t we get straight to the point, then? Since you’ve said you can decide on your own, let’s talk it out.Name your price, and we’ll try our best to fulfill our side of the bargain.Since you’re addressing me as a senior, and I’m even qualified to be your grandmother, I can’t really understand the content...of these documents,"

Margaret had tried her very best to remain as calm and friendly as possible.

She was even smiling at Heather and asking for her opinion on dealing with this issue.

Unfortunately, Heather was still the same arrogant person she was, "It’s fine if you, Mrs.Russell, can’t understand the details.I'll get my assistant to explain them to you.I don’t plan to ask for much, as long as the wedding ceremony is sensible, but I wish to speed up..."

"What’s the meaning of this!"

Celine interrupted Heather.She could no longer put up with her attitude, "Ms.Riggs, my mother is a senior to you, right? Is this how you treat your elderly? Were you like this in front of your parents as well? Furthermore, this is your Marriage, isn’t it? How could you just ask your assistant to do everything? Why don't you also ask her to get married on your behalf!"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 977

"Celine!"

Ralph was worried that she would make matters worse, so he called out to her.

However, Heather seemed unfazed by Celine’s remarks.She smirked, turned to her assistant, and added jokingly, "If she’s willing, then why not."

"you!"

Celine was furious.

On the other hand, Ralph was worried that she would soil the meeting, so he quickly cut in, "She’s just joking, just joking! Mom, it’s not easy for Heather to handle her family business alone, so that she would assign some tasks to her assistant.I also agreed with her, and Heather doesn’t have much to ask for.She just wants everything to be simple..."

"I didn’t say that I won’t ask for anything,"

She narrowed her eyes at him.

Heather sat straight and asked, "I- I would like to move into the Russell family house."

"Our house?" Ralph asked in as much surprise as Margaret was.

"Yeah, but I want a room all to myself," she continued, "I wish to move in tonight."

"So soon?" Ralph asked, clearly confused by her intentions.

At first, he thought she wanted to be with him, but then she requested a single room.

So, was this a woman’s pride?

"Why? Is there something wrong?" she asked, "You don’t have to be worried.I just wanted to take this opportunity to know you better.However, if it’s inconvenient for you, we don’t have to do it."

"No, it’s fine, why won’t it be,"

Ralph was happy that she had decided to take the initiative to get to know him better, so why would he reject her? This request was made out of the blue, so it had taken him by surprise.

Seeing that she was about to change her mind again, he quickly added, "We have many bedrooms available.Even if we don’t, I’ll move out just to give you my room!"

Even though Margaret knew her son was doing this because of his plan, she was still slightly embarrassed by the sight of him trying to suck up to Heather.Margaret could only sigh.

"Since that’s settled, I’ll move into your house tonight.I hope that Mrs.Russell wouldn’t mind me,"

Heather gave her a small nod to express her apology.

"It’s fine.We’re going to be a family soon anyways, and since Ms.Riggs, you’re comfortable with this, it’s a relief to me, too,"

Margaret smiled and turned to her subordinates, "Make sure to clear a room for Ms.Riggs when we get home.Make sure that she’s settled in well and try your best to answer her requests if there are any."

"Thank you for your kindness," Heather smiled.

Just then, she felt something strange and turned toward the floor about them.

She could feel someone’s gaze on her, but there was no killing intention, so she did not continue to think about it and went back to talking to the people around her.

However, the gaze was still there.

Then, her eyes met with Alexander's.

Alexander stood at the foot of the stairs leading to the floor above.He was openly looking at her with no fear of being caught.

Heather knew exactly who Alexander was.

She had, after all, done a background check on the Russell family.

She already knew that he was difficult to deal with, but after seeing him in person, she realized that the information presented to her was obviously lacking.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 978

This man had a strong presence.

Heather had seen all kinds of men and had dealings with many of them, but not one was like him.

Even from afar, she could feel his presence, and he was the center of attention in a room full of people.

She narrowed her eyes at him, and for some reason, she had developed an interest in him.

Alexander had, of course, heard of Heather’s name.

The Riggs family was secretive and had always been low-profiled until Heather took over as head of the family.

They became stronger to the extent of becoming one of the stronger families in the martial art scene.

The Riggs family had also expanded their wealth and connections in the business industry.

The eldest daughter of the Riggs family was known to be a genius in kickboxing, and she had already managed to defeat numerous well-known fighters.

However, the family was too powerful, so they also made enemies all around.

The family had to face numerous challenges proposed by fighters every year.

Thus, Heather being here and choosing Ralph as her future partner was no coincidence, nor was it because of love.

Ralph was only interested in Heather’s wealth and power.

On the other hand, Heather...was she interested in the Russell family? Ralph was not an important figure in the family, so why him? She should have chosen him if she was interested in their family’s wealth and power.

Was it because she knew that he would not play into her hands that why she picked Ralph over him? Alexander could not help but wonder about her true intentions.

She had instructed the Light- Shadow Killers to visit the Russell estate yesterday, and she showed up personally today, asking to move into the house.She had a hidden agenda behind her intention to marry into the family.

"Why are you still here?" Ralph asked as he followed Heather’s gaze and saw that she was looking at Alexander.

Ralph’s heart skipped a beat in panic.He intentionally prevented Heather from meeting Alexander as he worried she would change her mind.He would not be able to compete with Alexander.

When Heather turned toward him, he quickly smiled charmingly and acted like nothing was wrong, "I’m sorry, I forgot to introduce you.This is my nephew, Alexander.Alexander, this is your future aunt."

Alexander walked down the stairs toward them and looked at her.

Then, he extended his hand toward her, "Ms.Riggs."

"You should call her aunt instead of Ms.Riggs.We’re getting married soon, wait, right..."

He suddenly recalled, "My nephew’s getting married too, but they’ve already registered their marriage.I think their wedding ceremony coincides with ours."

"Oh, really?"

Heather smiled, took Alexander’s outstretched hand, and shook it.

Ralph intentionally shared this information to prevent Heather from being interested in Alexander.

When Ralph noticed their handshake, he felt slight discomfort.

Heather’s hand was slender and soft, but when their hands met, Alexander could feel her strength, especially her fingers.

They may look long and slim, but they felt like steel.

It was a good thing that Alexander had been working out, and he had also learned some self -defense skills, so with the strength she exerted, it was not enough to hurt him.

This may also be just a test, and she did not exert her full force.

Ralph could not tell that this was a test between two dominant personalities.

Instead, he only noticed they had held hands for a long time.

He was only worried that they were starting to be interested in each other.

In a moment of rash, he stepped forward and separated their hands forcefully, "Alex, don’t you have to go back to the office? You should leave now, don't keep those important matters waiting!"

He threw his hand over Alexander’s shoulders and walked him outside.

When they got to the car porch, he warned Alexander, "Ms.Riggs and I are going to get married soon.I suggest you don’t try anything funny and keep your hands to yourself!"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 979

Alexander was rendered speechless by Ralph’s outrageous warning.

"I know that Heather is an attractive woman, and she’s from a prestigious family, too, but she’s my future wife, so don’t even think about it!"

Ralph warned him explicitly.He was feeling restless and worried that Alexander was also interested in Heather.He knew that he would be no match for Alexander.

However, Alexander laughed and tapped Ralph’s shoulder, "Uncle, you’re overthinking.She’s not my type!"

He added casually, "I understand your thinking, but I advise you to keep your eyes peeled and be wary of her.She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing."

Then, he released Ralph, walked toward his car, and drove off.

Ralph stood frozen on the spot for a moment before regaining his senses.He pondered about what he had said but decided that Alexander was just trying to scare him.

‘How could Heather be a wolf? He must be joking.Has he even seen such a pretty wolf?’ Ralph thought to himself.

Moreover, Heather was above Ralph’s standards.She knew he was from the Russell family, but he had no power, so why would she still be interested in marrying him? If it was about personal interests, he was the one with an agenda, not her.

What would she be able to gain from marrying him? Ralph was sure that Alexander was just jealous of him! Alexander must have felt a pang of regret wash over him when he saw Heather.

The woman that Alexander had as his wife was undoubtedly beautiful, but aside from that, she had nothing.

It was true that she had some talent for creating perfumes, but that was about it.

Even her family background did not serve as much since the Lodge family started declining.

Moreover, she was not a direct descendant of the Lodge family, so she did not have actual power within the family ranks.

On the other hand, Heather was the head of the Riggs family.She had also inherited secret martial art techniques from her family’s ancestors.

If you compared both, Alexander’s current wife was insignificant.It made Ralph feel better as he had one-upped Alexander.He was also sure that Alexander was jealous of him, so Alexander tried to scare him from getting married to Heather.

Alexander was indeed despicable! Ralph turned around and trudged back into the house.

He needed to ensure that a room was cleared out for Heather to move in.

It would be even better if he could speed up the progress of their relationship so that he did not have to worry about Heather changing her mind.

Ralph was determined to make this work as he entered the house.

Heather sighed in relief as she finally left the Russell family’s home.She could not help but feel uncomfortable with the atmosphere in the room.She had not expected the Russell family to have fallen into such a pathetic state.

No one in the family looked like they were worthy of her presence except that man.

From the information given to her, she could tell he was not a simple man when she saw his photograph.

She could not help but falter when she met his eyes in the picture, it was as if he could see right through her facade.

When she saw him in person, his presence only became stronger.He was not a useless being like Ralph.

Heather had even tested him out on her own.He had a firm grip, and he was not attracted at all by her physical appearance.He was the most special guy she had ever met.

She had proposed this marriage to the Russell family because she had tried and failed numerous times to obtain a secret martial art skill book that was kept behind those walls.

She had even deployed the Light -Shadow Killers to do her bidding but to no avail.

The only method left was for her to enter the Russell family on her own and find out.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 980

Heather was disgusted with Ralph.She did not even want to touch him, nor was she planning to be a real couple with him.She just wanted that book and used Ralph’s connection to the Russell family to slowly swallow the family business from within and incorporate it into the Riggs family.

After that, she would just divorce him.

However, Heather had changed her mind.

If her marriage partner were that man instead, she would not have to go through so much trouble.She could still obtain the book and the Russell family’s wealth simultaneously.

Unfortunately, he was already married.

Soon, she was back at her own villa.

The Riggs family’s villa was cold, unlike the noisy atmosphere of the Russell family’s place.She would not have suggested moving into that house if it was not for the book.

Heather had been a talented fighter since she was young.

Unfortunately, the previous generation of Riggs was not gifted in this aspect, so her parents had lost interest in the family’s fighting skills.

If it were not for her, the Riggs family would have already been kicked out of the list of ancient martial arts families.

She had learned all the available martial art skills from the Riggs family, and Heather was also confident in her own abilities.

However, after participating in a few fights against other families, she realized her skills were far lacking.

Even though she was able to emerge victorious in a fight with people her age, she could not deal with more seasoned fighters as quickly.

Following her participation in fights, the number of challengers coming to challenge the Riggs family also increased significantly.

On the surface, the Riggs family might look like they were thriving, but she knew very well that they were cornered.

Just because they had emerged victorious a few times, it did not mean that this would happen every time.

It was by coincidence that she found out about an ancient martial art skill book that contained a secret technique that once belonged to the Lodge family.

Anyone who owned this book would be able to be the best fighter.

For some reason, this book ended up in the hands of the Russell family, and no one had heard any news about it.

As for the Russell family, not many people knew about this incident, and the Russell family was known for their power and tight security.

So, it was not like others could quickly get their hands on that book.

Heather tried to send the Light- Shadow Killers to retrieve it, but to No avail, and before that, she had also tried numerous times and failed at her attempts.

If not for her running out of ideas, she would not have chosen to propose a business marriage between the two families.

This was the only way she could freely enter the family house to retrieve the book.

She entered the house and changed into her slippers.

As she took off her scarf, she felt a stabbing pain when she accidentally touched her ears.

Pain was not a foreign sensation to her, as she was trained as a fighter from a young age.

However, this was unlike the pain from an injury or a fracture.

It was the feeling of being pricked by a needle at her most fragile part.

For some reason, this pain annoyed her as it gave her a tingling sensation that traveled down her spine.

"Get me Hannah!’ She instructed as Heather sat down on the sofa and rubbed her sore temples.

The housekeeper immediately left and brought Hannah back with her.

Since yesterday, Hannah knew that she had gotten herself into trouble.

So, she chose to diminish her existence by hiding in her room as she was afraid of her sister.

Hannah did not even eat much during lunch and dinner, so she looked pale and weak.

Heather was instantly annoyed when she noticed her frail appearance.

She immediately questioned, "Why are you not eating again?"

Hannah continued to remain silent.

"You'll only continue to lose more weight if you don’t eat properly.By that time, everyone will be able to tell us apart as you’re too skinny! Is this your way of going against me?"

Heather questioned sternly.

"No, sorry!"

Hannah immediately denied it and insisted, "I wouldn’t dare.I promise that I’ll eat well!"
