Chapter 1177 "Today was just a setback.As for you two, you've been losers your whole life and will always be!" Heather stared at the two of them mockingly, as if they were the ones that lost.Her gaze was piercing.
Despite the situation she was in right now, she did not show any weakness at all.Her words struck a chord with Ralph.She was right.
His whole life, he had been a failure.
Although he had been doted on by his mother since childhood, his father had never seen him in a good light.
Ralph used to think his father was biased, but now he finally understood the real reason behind it.
Ralph was not Hugo's biological son.He was not a Russell.
That was why Hugo had never planned to hand over the Russell family to Ralph.
From the very beginning, he was not qualified to fight for the family properties.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStill, for years, he continued doing so.
Now, all his plans becthe joke of the town.
In the end, even his mother, who loved him the most, abandoned him.
Ralph had nothing left.
All he could do was live under someone's roof and rely on a woman to get by.
He was the bigger failure between the two of them.
With a gloomy expression, he turned and exited the room.
When Hannah realized that he was leaving, she immediately grew anxious.
"Ralphy...Ralph!" As she called out his name, her grip on Heather was loosened, and she turned around to chase him.
Behind her, Heather laughed aloud.
"It seems like I've hit a sensitive spot.A loser will always be a loser.These despicable methods are nothing but a moment of complacency on my end.Sooner or later, it will all fall apart.Hahaha!" The maniacal laughter rang in the dungeon, but Hannah could not be bothered.
She ran after Ralph.
"What's wrong?!" When she grabbed his arm, an uneasy feeling washed over her.
"Is your heart...aching? Can you not bear seeing her like this?" Her uneasiness stemmed from her low self-esteem.
After all, she had watched others praise her sister since she was a child.
Even as they stood in front of her, the only praises they would sing were for Heather.
This fed into Hannah's hatred for Heather.
Hannah was never confident in herself.She was even a little doubtful if anyone would like her for her, not because of her family background or because she looked like Heather.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe thought she had found that person in Ralph, but whenever she saw him and Heather in the sroom, she could not stop the doubts from growing in her head.
Hannah would begin to wonder if he really liked her or if he regarded her as Heather.
"No!" Ralph turned around to look at Hannah with a forced smile on his face.
"Although it's miserable for her, | thought about how you've lived like this for more than 20 years. feel bad for you.You've suffered much more than she did!" He raised his hand and gently caressed her cheek as he said this.
"Really?" She held his hand in disbelief.
"You idi*t, of course! You've suffered so much.It only makes sense if you sought revenge.She had been arrogant for far too long.So what if she suffers a little now? How can | feel sorry for her?" Ralph's sincerity dispelled the doubts in her heart, and she immediately smiled.
"Then, what are you worried about? Now, the whole Riggs family belongs to me.With me, you have nothing to be afraid of!" Then, the two walked out together with Hannah in Ralph's arms.
The two sat down on the sofa in the living room and got a maid to serve them a platter of fruits, snacks, and safternoon tea.
After that, Hannah dismissed them.
She wanted to enjoy this big house with him alone.
Taking an apple, she leaned against him and asked, "Why'd you run away if it wasn’t because of your pity for her? Aren't you happy for me?"
