"What's wrong? Don’t you believe me? I'll take you home to have a look then." Upon saying that, Hannah pulled Ralph up with her. "Follow me!"
"Wait, hold up!"
"What's the matter? Do you distrust me that much?" Hannah was starting to lose her patience.
On the other hand, Ralph did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "We need to change before we leave!"
Then he gestured to the two of them. How could they leave the house dressed like that?
Ralph had a lingering feeling of surrealness on the way to Heather and Hannah’s place. It was not that he had never been here before, but he would usually stay outside. He went in only when Heather was in a good mood.
Now, he was sitting in their family car with the daughter of the Riggs family next to him. Then the two walked in together openly. At the door, the servants humbly greeted them and took Ralph’s coat.
Even as he stood in the middle of the house, he was still in a daze. Although this house was nothing compared to the Russell Estate, it was a lovely place to stay in his current desolate state.
"Annie, am I dreaming?" Ralph rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
After hesitating, he approached her again and asked lowly, "Will we be okay here like this? Your sister…"
"My sister?" Hannah sneered with disdain. "She can no longer control me. She will live like how I lived. No, her life will be worse than mine!"
"What about her kickboxing?" It was hard for Ralph to imagine Heather getting locked up. After all, her kickboxing skills were mighty. Once she started to fight, even 20 of them could not match up to her.
