NovelEnglishChapter 1121 Heather called Ralph to test him. However, she becsomewhat interested when she heard his confident tone. "Can you tellhow 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 tif 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.

There was a part of her that was waiting to mock his failure.
‘There wouldn't be a surprise if | 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 sthought 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 toif 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 hanyway, so why not have sfun before that?" ‘1 will 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.

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 becblurry.
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 crushing 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.
