Chapter 1016
She was a little too moody! One instant, she would be conversing and laughing softly with him, and the
next, she could turn around and snap his neck.He could not bear to remain with such a woman.
"When have I offended you?" Ralph asked as he blew on his fingers.
"Okay, if Alexander hurt you, I mean, if it were him, I'd accept all the anger you've thrown at me.I can't
choose who my nephew is.No matter what he’s done, he’s still my nephew at the end of the day.I'll just
apologize to you on his behalf.
"However, Heather, we're still to be married at the end of the day.We're a family.Alexander and I have
never gotten along with each other.Could it be that he came to you for trouble because of me? Could it
be that he threatened you because of me?"
He was trying to reason with himself about Heather's anger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Alexander really injured her, Ralph wanted to know why Alexander hurt her and why he came over.
Could it be that...
A thought flashed across Ralph's mind, and he said, "Heather, could it be that Alexander is trying to ask
for your hand in marriage?"
"What?"
"He must be jealous that I'm marrying you.His place in this family may not be guaranteed if I joined
forces with you.Maybe that's why he wants to take you away from me.This kid has robbed me of many
things since he was young.He was my father's favorite and the next heir of the Russell family.He has
everything, and yet, that's still not enough.Now, he's trying to take you away from me as well! I had
enough!"
Heather was at a loss for words when she heard what he said.
"Did you refuse to fight him? Is that why he hurt you?"
The more Ralph tried to reason with himself, the more it made sense.
"He's gone too far with his bullying! Don't worry.I’ll seek justice for you! After an angry grumble, he
stood up and was ready to leave.After a few steps, he realized that Heather did not call out to him.She
did not even call out to him when he reached the door.
Then, he could not help but stop and turn around to look at her.
"Heather?"
"Go on, now!" Heather said casually with her eyebrows raised.
"Aren't you going to avenge me and seek justice? I'll be here, waiting for you!"
Then, she crossed her arms and sat down.She was fixated on the show and had no intentions of
dissuading Ralph.
Since he had already said so much, it would be embarrassing to back out of his words.
Thus, he said through gritted teeth, "Wait for me!"

As the corners of Heather's lips curled up, the sparkle in her eyes dimmed.
She knew a bit about the Russells before she came here.
She knew very well that Ralph had nothing against Alexander and all he could do was probably argue
for a few minutes.
However, since Ralph had offered to do it, she would let him.
Otherwise, he might think she was an easy target to be bullied.
Thinking back about what Ralph had said, it seemed like Alexander started to learn kickboxing when he
was a child.
Despite that, he should not have practiced as long as Heather had.
She had no idea where he learned it, but his kickboxing skills were terrifying.
Now, she was even more eager to get her hands on the handbook.
Whatever she wanted, she had to get! She was so lost in her thoughts that she did not realize that
Hannah was hiding in the corner, watching her with clenched fists.
