Chapter 1193
Hannah and Ralph panicked when they saw Heather standing up. Their fear of Heather had taken root
in their hearts, after all.
When Heather was lying in bed, unable to move and dying, the duo still feared her a little, let alone now
when she could stand before them.
"No! It's impossible!" Hannah did not want to believe what she was seeing. She thought her plan was
perfect and had everything under control.
Hannah thought she had secured her victory, so she would not believe it if anyone told her she had
lost.
"Chump, do you think you can fool me with that nonsense?" Hannah smiled forcefully and continued,
"You wish you could intimidate me so easily! It would take you longer than this to return to the Riggs'
Estate and get reinforcements. You're just bluffing, aren't you? My people will rush inside and take you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdown as soon as I call forthem. I'd advise you to run for your life before I change my mind! I can let you
off the hook if you walk away now."
"You're the one bluffing here," Heather retorted coldly, "Accept what's happening. Do you think you can
bribe my people so easily? I have friends in this industry, too, besides enemies. You underestimate me
too much!"
After a pause, she continued, "By the way, do you think you can replace me after attending a few
boring dinners and talking to a few useless people? Hannah Riggs, you're way too naive! Do you think
that's all I can do? If that's true, I couldn’t have gotten to where I am today, and the Riggs family would
not have the wealth we possess today!"
"Then you..." Hannah widened her eyes, obviously convinced by Heather's words by now. There was
just one thing she did not understand. 'She
wasn’t in good health recently, and it didn't look like she was acting at all.'
"Do you like the show I put up for you?" Heather took a deep breath and pressed one hand on the
bed's frame. When she tightened her grip, the wood crushed.
The duo just watched Heather's movements as their faces paled from fear.
Ralph was feeling hopeless now. Recently, his mind had been in a mess, making him restless. Now, he
had lost his last hope, Hannah, to turn the tables around. Without the Riggs family’s support, he
genuinely had nothing left.
"Ants," Heather sneered and turned to say, "Lock the two of them up and wait for my orders." Then she
headed out the door.
With that, Chump nodded and tied the duo up before throwing them into a room, locking it up as he
walked out the door. In just such a short time, a drastic change occurred. The room returned to its
pitch-black state.
Hannah remained silent and sat in her spot, not moving for a long time. Everything felt like a nightmare
to her.
Ralph noticed her pale expression and understood what she was feeling. Just a while ago, he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexperienced the same thing. The only difference was that he failed, while Hannah thought she
succeeded when she fell into Heather’s trap instead.
They were so close to getting everything they wanted. Hannah wondered if everything would be
different if she had forced the poisonous liquid down Heather's throat earlier.
"Annie..." Ralph could no longer bear to see Hannah’s blank expression and called her nickname softly.
Hannah blinked like his voice had returned her to her senses. Then she turned to look at him and said
dazedly, "Am I dreaming? Can you slap me? Slap me to wake me up from this nightmare! How could I
fail? I carefully planned everything. Chump-why is Chump not dead?"
Ralph understood how Hannah felt better than anyone else, and the more she struggled, the more his
heart pained for her. "Annie, I forgot about how cunning Heather could be. She took advantage of me in
the past and did it again to you this time. She lied about getting poisoned. I bet the poison didn't affect
her, but she put on a show for us!"
