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

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

"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

When Alexander received the call from Margaret, he was in a meeting at the company. He needed to report on establishing new projects and expansion ideas overseas. Initially, he did not want to answer the call, but as he used his phone to read the data analysis, he had no choice.After declining the call, he quickly summed up his meeting and returned to the office to call her back. On the phone, the old lady sounded aggressive. "Where are you now?""I'm in the company."It seemed like Margaret was in a bad mood. "Come back right away!""You mean, now?""Yes, now!" After a pause, she said again, "Bring your wife with you!"Before Alexander could refuse, Margaret immediately said, "If you don't bring her, I'll send someone to pick her up myself! Is she unable to leave the house now that she's pregnant? As your grandmother, I don't even get to meet her at least once?"Alexander kept quiet for a moment and pursed his lips. He did not want to argue with her on the phone. "Got it."He

Now, it was Ralph's turn to be at a loss for words.It was true; there would always be winners and losers when it came to sparring, and it was common for the fighters to get injured. It was also true that Heather was indeed not a feeble woman. Even as Ralph said it just now, he felt a pang of guilt in his chest.His words were unjustified in the first place, but after Alexander's rebuttal, Ralph was stunned.On the other hand, Celine, who had been quietly sipping tea and watching the whole thing, calmly said, "Alex, you're right. Although it was just a sparring session, why would Heather want to spar with you? Besides, when did you get so good at kickboxing? As an aunt, a mother, and a grandmother, I have never heard about it."Her words seemed to have enlightened Ralph, and he immediately returned to his senses. "Yes! Exactly! When did you learn how to kickbox like that? What are you trying to prove here?""Grandpa took me to classes when I was younger. It wasn't a secret, but no
