His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 975

"That's right," Celine responded smilingly, "I heard you have a different class than others, but seeing it today, I’m convinced! With your charm and power, no wonder you can manage such a big family. I admire that. I would be satisfied if I had half of your charm when I was young."

"You just goof around all day. You're not as sensible as Ms. Riggs," Margaret said.

Heather was a little irritated by the way they spoke to impress her. Accustomed to hearing flattery, she was tired of hearing it. She never thought that even the members of the Russell family would be so flattering.

All of the members of the Russell family had declined in her mind, save for Alexander. When she first came here, she wanted to take Alexander down, but she gave up after doing a comprehensive investigation.

It was because he was shrewd and challenging to deal with, and it was almost impossible to find any weaknesses in him. It was not because Heather feared difficulties but because she did not want a man to hinder her career. When facing a man who was as shrewd as herself, it would be troublesome to start with him.

Ralph was different. He was stupid and greedy enough, and it was too easy to start with him.

"Since we know each other, let us get to the point." She hated to waste time on insignificant things.

She surprised everyone in the Russell family. They looked at each other. Margaret smiled and said, "Ms. Riggs is straightforward, but... did you come alone today? "

Heather looked to her left and right, shrugged, and said, "Yeah?"

"This... is a marriage matter. Won't your parents come to discuss it?" Margaret asked curiously.

Although Heather was in charge of the Riggs family now, her parents were still alive, so it was acceptable if they did not show up for other things. However, why would they not meet the in-laws for such a huge event as marriage?

"Heather said she could handle her life's major events by herself. Her parents are very open-minded." Ralph explained quickly.

He was also puzzled about this point before. That was what Heather told him, but she also added, "It doesn't have to be you. You need to understand that I don't like you. I chose you for your background. We’re all adults, and we all know what maximization of profit is, so let’s avoid those clichés."

He was surprised but agreed with her words, although he was somewhat upset.

She was right. If it were not for the power of the Riggs family to help him, he would not be

pleasing and coaxing her. Everything was for the maximization of benefits, but these words came from her mouth coldly, and saying it would still make people uncomfortable.

It was as if he had no charm at all. It was because his surname was Russell, and he was the youngest son that Margaret favored the most. Other than that, there was no personal reason to like him.

If so, why was she shy in front of him? Why did she let him kiss her? Why did she pierce her ears for him?
