Margaret had been listening in silence. When she heard what Ralph said, she was astonished. "What
did you say? Are you saying the secret handbook you stole was a fake?’
"Yeah. I had no idea, but Heather does. She knew it was a fake as soon as she saw it. Alex had
intentionally set a trap for me. An arrow almost hit me. If I had been, I wouldn't be able to see you
anymore.”
Ralph sighed. "You said I've been cruel to him, but hasn't he been the same to me? Even if I was
wrong to steal the handbook, Alex could've told me directly or dissuaded me. Instead of doing that, he
set a trap and even used dangerous weapons. Mom, does he even see me as his uncle?"
"Well..." Margaret did not know what to say.
“I'm not being petty, but if I don’t fight back, I'm afraid I won't be able to preserve my own life. You're
here now, so maybe he won't make any drastic moves. I-I'm afraid he'll push me to a dead end the day
you're gone! " Ralph slumped over, looking dejected.
Margaret felt conflicted. This was what she feared most.
She was worried her beloved son might not be able to live a good life after her death. With how
Alexander was, he would never forgive Ralph for scheming against him. When that happened, she
could not do anything about it.
Ralph looked at his mother’s face and knew he had struck a chord with her. "Mom, I'm not doing this to
push him to the edge. I won't be like him when I take charge of the family. I promise I'll feed him well as
long as I'm alive. I won't let him starve, okay?"
He raised his hand as he swore with a solemn look on his face.
"Did Heather do anything after you retrieved the fake handbook? The shares ..." Margaret threw a
pivotal question without even answering him.
At that time, she counted on Ralph to get the Riggs family shares. Since the handbook was a fraud,
Heather had not gotten what she wanted.
Would she be able to accept that?
"Heather is fine," Ralph immediately replied, "Although I'm not married to her, we're still partners in the
same boat. Although the handbook I got was fake, she knows I’m sincere. I took a considerable risk
breaking into Alex's mansion to get the handbook. It made her want to work with me even more.
"Don't worry. I've already told Heather I'll hold onto the Riggs shares after I take charge of the Russell
family. Besides, I won't have a problem finding the real handbook when the time comes."
Ralph was trying to convince his mother. After all, he could not let her know that Heather was just using
him and that the Riggs shares were long out of his reach. If Margaret knew he could not get hold of the
shares, she would not help him fight Alexander.
Ralph could only put all his eggs in one basket and pray for the best. Those with essential matters
would not pay attention to trivialities.
However, Margaret said nothing and lowered her head in contemplation as if to weigh the credibility of
his words.
