His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 993

Ralph chuckled and seemed proud of himself. "You underestimated my family, Ms. Riggs. The house looks no different from ordinary houses apart from being very large, but the top security company in the country handles our security systems.

“We have cameras, infrared and other mechanisms all over the place. You can rest assured as you are safe." Ralph thought of something after he finished speaking and added, "If you don't like to live here, we can move out.

“We can buy a house you like. Just the two of us. What do you think?” He slid his hand from her shoulder to her collarbone and then down.

Heather stopped his hand in time and smirked. “Is that so?” She continued without giving Ralph a chance to continue bragging, “Then how come I heard there was a theft in this house last night?"

Ralph froze as he did not expect her to know about it, especially since his family had immediately hidden the incident as soon as it happened. Therefore, the public was none the wiser about the theft.

Those who knew were the few people within the Russell family, and they also ordered the servants not to spread the news. He wondered how Heather knew about it. He did not have the time to think about it and laughed dryly, "Y-You’re very well informed!

Ralph bent down and whispered beside Heather’s ears, “It's just a few petty thieves that were not worth mentioning, so I didn’t tell you about it. Judging from your question, it seems you’re concerned about my family, Heather.”

He was testing her since he did not know what Heather meant by her words. Ralph even wondered if she was angry and wanted to break the engagement or if she was expressing her dissatisfaction.

Heather raised her eyebrows and moved away. "Oh? Petty thieves? It turns out a few petty thieves can infiltrate your top-level security system. It looks like these thieves are not that simple, or is your home’s security system not as good as you said?"

Ralph did not expect her to question him and was stunned. "Haha. You’re right. I also think the security system is not as good as I said. I have already contacted the security company and plan to terminate our contract. I’ll ask them to compensate me for the loss. As for the follow-up, I will find better security guards. Or, do you have any good suggestions?"

Heather was waiting for this. She immediately turned and looked at him. "Our birth destined us to be concerned for our safety at all times. You should know that my family is a kickboxing family. I feel I can give you better advice in this regard. Maybe you can consider the Riggs family’s security measures and change the security guards to the Riggs family guards?"

"T-That’s" Ralph might be trying his best to please her now, but he was not a fool. Moreover, they had yet to marry. Even if they were, Heather was still an outsider. Things would be different if Ralph took control of the Riggs family, but he had yet to do so.

If he hastily handed over the Russell family’s security to the Riggs, it was akin to opening the family’s doors to the Riggs family without reserve. He was not that stupid. Heather and he had yet to reach that point in relation.

Heather turned back and said coldly, "Just pretend I didn't say anything if you don't believe me."

Ralph noticed she was angry and hurriedly coaxed her, "No, how could I not believe you? I may not trust others, but I fully trust you! However, I can’t decide on this matter. You know my nephew is the head of the Russell family. I want to use your family as security, but we need to discuss this further."
