Heather called Ralph to test him. However, she became somewhat interested when she heard his confident tone. “Can you tell me how you plan to take Alexander down in just a day? I’m quite interested now.”
Even if Ralph was only boasting, he should make it sound believable. Heather believed Alexander would not have survived in the business industry for such a long time if Ralph could trounce him.
Although Alexander was younger than Ralph, he took over the family business at a very young age. Initially, many thought Alexander was too inexperienced to lead the family. However, he convinced everyone of his abilities, and almost everyone acknowledged him.
Alexander was a capable leader, and the family business had never been better under his leadership. Yet, Ralph claimed he would soon replace Alexander and take over the family business in one day.
Heather wondered how that would be possible. Even with the family elders present, it would not mean Ralph would succeed.
The Riggs family also had their elders, who were only responsible for family affairs. Their influences could never reach the company. Besides, the company’s board of directors would not allow the family elders to overstep their boundaries.
Even though Heather was curious about why Ralph was so confident in replacing Alexander, she did not think he would succeed. There was a part of her that was waiting to mock his failure.
“There wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you, would there? You should attend the meeting if you’re interested to see what will happen. I’ll save you a VIP seat,” Ralph said.
Then he quickly continued, as he was worried Heather would hesitate, “Though this is a family meeting, we're still technically engaged, so you can still attend this meeting as my fiancee.”
Heather gave his proposal some thought and replied, “Fine. I’ll see you tomorrow.” She hung up and smiled.
‘This is getting interesting.’
