Chapter 1082 Ralph just managed to utter a word before Heather continued, "Still, you're not completely useless. Your strategy worked well.
It's difficult to even forto get both of them out of the house at the stime, stop all the servants from entering the hall, and destroy the surveillance cameras. You helpeda lot, and for this, | can offer you a reward.” Then she elaborated on the secret handbook, "As for the secret handbook, the one you have is fake. The real one is with me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHence, | don’t need to give you anything in return for the handbook because you failed to meet our negotiated terms. This can't be considered a lie." That was Heather's initial plan. She had never hoped for Ralph to help her get what she wanted. However, his identity as a Russell could help her immensely. On top of that, he had Margaret helping him.
That weakened the defense of the Russells toward the outsiders, and Heather did not have to deal with the couple, Alexander and Lily, head-on. With that, retrieving the secret handbook was a piece of cake for her, as no one was around.
Before Ralph rummaged through the cabinets, she had already checked them out and even familiarized herself with the house's layout during her" night visit.” Hence, when Ralph went to the master bedroom, she headed for the study and stole the true secret handbook.
She thought about it for a long tand concluded that Alexander was too full of himself. He felt he could leave the secret handbook on the shelf without attracting any attention just because of the tight defense at his residence and the trap he set up in his bedroom as a distraction.
Plus, she was already skeptical when he mentioned something about the Bible the other tbecause what was a businessman like him doing with such a book? Sure enough, she managed to find the secret handbook among the row of Bibles on his shelf.
When she left, Ralph was still stuck in the trap in the master bedroom like a fool. She had gotten Ralph to draw all the attention away, so even if Alexander were to return hearly, Ralph would be the person he focused on while she could retreat without a trace.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was her plan, which could kill two birds with one stone, and it went even smoother than she had imagined. She finally had the secret handbook.
On the other hand, Ralph was so bewildered that he could say nothing for stime. After a while, he finally murmured, "No...
You're lying to me! You must be lying to me!” "Like | said, whatever floats your boat. If you believe you have the genuine one, keep it. Who knows? Sdumb’ss might buy it from you at a high price. Or... you could put it back before Alexander realizes his book has gone missing. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble when he finds out. Tsk tsk She shook her head, smiling in a gloating manner at his misfortune. Then she put one hand on his shoulder to push him away.
However, Ralph reacted and pressed his hand on her wrist. "You've never seen the handbook’s contents, so how are you so certain that | have the fake one while you have the real one? Yours might be the fake one, and mine the real one for all you know!" He'd gone to all that trouble to get through the infrared scanners, hid from weapons, and crack the passcode, only to have her tell him that the item he had gotten was a fake. He would never believe that! Heather just sneered. "Although I've never seen the real book before, I've learned kickboxing since | was young. You might not understand the things in the book, but | do. From the pictures | saw on your phone, those are just basic kickboxing moves. It's something you can even find on the Internet, idi*t!" She could not help but call him out for his foolishness.
