After staring at Hannah for a while, Heather's eyes softened. She raised her hand and patted Hannah's shoulder lightly. "Alright, you—"Before she could finish her sentence, a maid came in. "Ms. Heather, there’s a visitor for you. His surname is Russell.""Russell..." Heather looked over after a while and saw Hannah's eyes light up. Although it was only for a moment, she did see it.‘Hannah did fall in love.’Her thoughts changed again. "Go back to your room. Don't come out without my order!"This was expected, and Hannah pursed her lips. "Okay!"She turned and walked toward the basement. She trotted away and disappeared around the corner. However, once she rounded the corner, she could not resist pausing and turning to face the other way. ‘Is it him?’"Let him in!"Heather was still wondering whether it was Ralph or Alexander. She sat down again and called someone to clean up the table and brew a pot of tea.When the tea was served, Alexander walked in. Seeing that it was him
"Isn't this why you came to my house? What’s wrong? You dared to visit my wife, but you don't dare open it?”At this point, it was clear that he knew Heather had attacked Lily. Even so, Heather did not intend to admit it. She let out a light chuckle and said, "I don't think I understand what you’re talking about. Why did I visit your wife? When did I go? Your house? Oh, you mean the Russell Estates? Your uncle and I are about to get married, so it makes sense to go to your house. You must refer to me as ‘Aunt,’ while we're on the subject.”Watching her deny it, Alexander did not force her anymore. His sight fell on the box. "That needs to wait till you officially marry my uncle. You won't open my gift because you think I've messed with it or that you won't like it?”Heather looked at him. It was the first time she had given this legendary man a serious look.She did not think of Alexander as an opponent. For her, kickboxing was the most important thing. She had been obsessed with
Heather did not even finish speaking when she pounced forward and grabbed Alexander. She was swift, and her hands were around his neck in a moment. Although her movements looked fierce, Heather did not use her full strength. She only wanted to test how strong he was.Even so, she was confident in her kickboxing skills. After all, she had practiced it for years and had beaten countless people. Although she did not use all her strength, she did not think he would escape.However, he did.Heather’s mind went blank when she noticed her empty hands. She missed the most crucial part of how Alexander escaped her grasp. She was unsure if Alexander had even moved as he stood there with a faint smile. Heather felt like he was mocking her.‘That smile of his is a mockery!’"You! You've been lying to me!" Everything was starting to make sense now that she was thinking this way. Alexander was indeed from a family that practiced kickboxing!Since he knew how to kickbox, it meant the Russells w
"If you want to fight, come look for me. Don't hurt my wife. Otherwise, you can't blame me for retaliating!"Heather finally realized why people were terrified whenever anyone mentioned Alexander."Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Russell to be infatuated," she snorted. Then she seemed to remember something and said, "Are you still going to deny the existence of that handbook? I didn't expect the Russells to keep it a secret for so long, hiding such sophisticated kickboxing skills!""As I said, the Russells do not own any secret handbook," he repeated in a soft but firm tone."Pfft, aren’t you going to admit it?" At this point, Heather was angry and annoyed.She was angry that she could not beat him. She knew she was not his opponent, and Alexander was only here to let her know that she could not get to Lily without getting past him.Heather was annoyed that the thing she had always dreamt of possessing was right there, yet she still could not get her hands on it. It was evident Alexander
Ralph did not have any kickboxing skills. In addition to Heather's surprise attack, he was unprepared. This sent his body lunging toward hers."Ouch!" His nose hit her mouth abruptly, and the two yelped in pain simultaneously.Heather felt her lips turn numb from the impact of Ralph's nose bridge while Ralph's nose bridge was so sore that he teared up. "Heather, what are you doing?"He held onto his nose and barely propped his body up. Tears rose in his eyes as he tried not to let them fall.The way this woman thought was strange, and he could not understand her. If someone else did this to him, he would be angry."Do you not know any kickboxing skills?" Heather seemed to have confirmed her suspicion and let him go.Knowing how good Alexander was in kickboxing, she suspected the Russell family had a secret handbook. If that were the case, everyone in the Russell family might have trained in it. Therefore, she decided to test Ralph's skills. Now, it was apparent he had none!Alth
After returning to his senses, he nodded hurriedly. "Yes! Of course! Who dares to touch my woman like that? Once you tell me who he is, I'll tie him up and cut him into a million pieces until you're satisfied!""It's Alexander," She said lightly as she licked the blood from the corner of her lower lips."So, it's him. That coward…" Excitedly rambling on to express his sincerity in assisting her, Ralph did not realize he had missed the name she had said until he was halfway through. "Who did you say it was?" He thought that he had misheard."Alexander, your wonderful nephew! What's wrong? Are you reluctant now?" With her arms crossed and her gaze fixed on him, Heather questioned him calmly as if to test his sincerity. "It appears that what you just said was a lie. It's normal for men to lie, but I thought you were different. It turns out you're just like them. Forget it. I thought too highly of you!" She sighed, lowered her arms, and stood up."Wait, no, that's not what I meant…
"Answer my question!" Heather snapped impatiently. She did not want to beat around the bush any longer.Seeing how she was losing her temper, Alexander quickly answered, "I'm just concerned about you! Alexander was sent somewhere to pick up some self-defense skills when he was younger. “I have no idea where he went, but my father sent him there. He was probably only around seven or eight years old back then. I don't quite remember. However, don't worry. Nothing he learned was authentic. I don't even think it’s considered kickboxing. He can't compete with you.“Did he use hidden weapons or pull some tricks out of his sleeve to hurt you? Otherwise, there's no way he could win a fight against you!" Ralph felt that Alexander's victory over Heather was improbable. After all, Heather was a serious and well-known kickboxer from a long line of kickboxers. If that kid, Alexander, could easily hurt her like this, it would not be impossible for Ralph to hold her down.His mind began to tur
She was a little too moody! One instant, she would be conversing and laughing softly with him, and the next, she could turn around and snap his neck. He could not bear to remain with such a woman. "When have I offended you?" Ralph asked as he blew on his fingers. "Okay, if Alexander hurt you, I mean, if it were him, I'd accept all the anger you've thrown at me. I can't choose who my nephew is. No matter what he’s done, he’s still my nephew at the end of the day. I'll just apologize to you on his behalf.“However, Heather, we’re still to be married at the end of the day. We're a family. Alexander and I have never gotten along with each other. Could it be that he came to you for trouble because of me? Could it be that he threatened you because of me?" He was trying to reason with himself about Heather's anger. If Alexander really injured her, Ralph wanted to know why Alexander hurt her and why he came over. Could it be that…A thought flashed across Ralph's mind, and he said, "He
