Chapter 1072 "Who else would it be? Of course, it's your silly uncle." Margaret looked slightly across. "He took a century to look for a ring! Still, he found it.
According to him, it was between the cushions on the sofa, and | didn't even realize | dropped it there.” ‘That's excellent news, and you still have tto spare. Tell Uncle Ralph to cto pick you up, then you could make it for your show," Alexander said while looking at his watch.

Since he knew they were at the cafe, he cover immediately. He entered the cafe and rushed straight to their table. "Mom, | found it." Then he removed the ring from his pocket and handed it to Margaret.” Look, this is the one, right?” "Yes, that's it. This ring has never left my side all these years. If | lost it, | would never be able to rest in peace even after | die." She hurriedly took the ring from Ralph and put it on her finger. "It's looser than it was. No wonder it fell off my finger.” "You've lost sweight. Letbring it to a jeweler and get them to tighten it for you so that it won't fall off anymore,” Ralph offered.
Margaret shook her head. "No, it's fine. | wouldn't be able to face your father if | lost it one day. I'll keep it safe in my jewelry box when we get home." "Sure, that's a good idea too.” Ralph smiled and turned to Alexander. “It's getting late already. I'm leaving with your grandmother to see the show. What are your plans?" "Lily's exhausted too, so we'll be leaving as well," Alexander explained," You should leave first.” "Mom, we should hurry, or we won't make it for the show," Ralph said as he stood up from his seat.
As the two were about to leave, Alexander called out from behind them," Uncle Ralph.” Ralph stopped and turned back to look at him in a daze.
"Since you left in a hurry, are you sure you didn't leave anything behind?” He continued, "I'm just asking, so | don't have to get my housekeepers to look for whatever you lost.” "Haha," Ralph laughed forcefully, "Of course not. I'm a guy, after all. | don't wear accessories, so you don't have to worry aboutleaving things behind.” Alexander nodded and bid them farewell, "Very well then. Have fun and stay safe.” Ralph dared not linger. When faced with his nephew, he could not help but feel nervous that Alexander would see through him.
Alexander always had a kind of expression that Ralph found unreadable.
Nevertheless, he had gotten what he wanted, so all he had to do was negotiate with Heather. Ralph was excited as he thought of the wealth that would soon be his. As they got in the car, Margaret sighed while looking out the window.

"Well done! However, | couldn't help but feel insecure. | don't feel right," She clarified.
Margaret felt something was off, and there was something strange about Alexander whenever she faced him. She could not even lie with ease.
"You're used to being in his shadow. Wait till | becthe head of our household. Then he won't even dare to behave arrogantly toward you!" Ralph said in confidence as if everything was within his control.
“Let's hope so." Margaret leaned against the window and chose to remain silent.
