Chapter 1077
Margaret opened the folder and removed the stack of papers, finding it slightly thicker than she had
expected. Puzzled, she looked up at Celine, who explained hurriedly, "To ensure the results are
accurate, I did the test for everyone in our family.
"There's the test between you, Ralph, and myself with Alex, respectively. If the results are the same,
that would be no problem, but if it isn't, the outcome wouldn't be affected just because of one person."
After pondering for a moment, Margaret found that Celine's words made sense and nodded before
picking up her presbyopic glasses and browsing through the results.
However, her expression gradually worsened while she looked at them. She would read a few pages
and then flip to the earlier ones before flipping back to the later ones again. Suddenly, she raised her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthead to look at Celine in disbelief. "T-This..."
"Mom, stay calm. I told you that you need to be mentally prepared," Celine said softly. She was
shocked, too, when she first saw the results. That was why she told her mother to prepare herself
mentally. Even so, it had a massive impact on her.
"B-But this is impossible!" Margaret suddenly became agitated. After all, feelings were not something a
person could control easily. "I don't believe this! Where did you do the test? We must do it again!”
"Mom, this test is 99.99% accurate. Calm down. I'm going to...Mom!"
Margaret’s vision blackened before getting to her feet, and she passed out, causing Celine to panic
instantly. "Somebody help!"
Ralph was elated as he sat in the master suite, scrolling through the pictures on his phone. They were
shots of a few pages from a book, and the pages were not continuous.
He was not dumb. If he brought the secret handbook over, he knew he would not have the chance to
negotiate with Heather. With her combat skills, she could snatch the item from him away quickly, and
there would be nothing he could do about it.
Since he was not as skilled as Alexander was in combat, he could only depend on his brain. He hid the
item somewhere else to ensure nothing would go wrong, believing he had made the right decision.
When Ralph heard the doorbell ring, he broke into a grin, which he did not try to hide as he got up to
get the door. He even moved slowly on purpose and only walked toward the door after the doorbell
rang three times.
All the hardships and sufferings he faced in the past because of Heather would end right here. In the
future, he could hold his head high, and he no longer had to give in to her commands. At least, that
was what he thought.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe opened the door, and as expected, Heather was standing there. She donned a suit and looked as
severe as always.
Sometimes, Ralph suspected she had a split personality. Otherwise, nothing could explain how she
would sometimes look shy and gentle.
He stared right at Heather while she only glanced at him before stretching her hand toward Ralph.
"Where's the secret handbook?"
This question brought Ralph back to his senses, and he laughed. "Slow down! It'll belong to you,
eventually. What about you come in first? We can talk about it over a drink or two."
"There's no need for that. Haven't we discussed it before? I get the book, and you get the shares,"
Heather said coldly, "There's nothing else for us to discuss."
It seemed she was only here for the item. That was how Ralph thought she should behave, after all.
