Today was the first time in a long while that Ralph could sleep soundly without much worry. After all, even if any of the Russell family wanted to come over, they could not just enter at their own will.
However, he tossed and turned for a long time. When he turned to the side and looked at the person sleeping next to him, he was a little dazed by what he saw.
The woman looked beautiful when she slept. He used to think she was cute and docile, but after seeing how Heather turned out, he realized Hannah was more unpredictable than he imagined.
Back then, he used to think Heather was hard to read. Little did he know that Hannah was even harder to see through. These two sisters appeared alternately in his mind, giving him a headache.
Ultimately, he got up and went to the balcony for a smoke. As he reflected on his life, he felt that he had always been caught up in a whirlwind.
Then a thought appeared in his mind. ‘This is good. With Hannah by his side, I have control of the Riggs family properties. Maybe I can make a comeback this way.’
…
Ralph did not sleep well last night. He only fell asleep at the crack of dawn. Therefore, when he vaguely heard voices from downstairs, he woke up to find that Hannah was no longer in the room.
Then he put on his clothes and headed downstairs toward the voice.
"Ms. Riggs, I'm sure you know the purpose of my visit today."
That voice belonged to Alexander. Hearing that, Ralph subconsciously ducked to the side. However, he quickly came to his senses and realized he was in the Riggs Manor. There was nothing for him to be afraid of. With that thought in mind, he peeked down the stairs again.
Hannah was in her pajamas in the hall, sitting casually across from Alexander. It seemed like they were talking about some family affairs. The atmosphere was tense, with both parties on edge.
