Chapter 1004
"Yes, but this person has great ambitions.She was behind what happened to the Lodge family back
then."
"You mean...the Light-Shadow Killers?"
Lily frowned as the memories from the past came rushing in.
Although Henry was filled with wishful thinking and had many things planned, Lily had always felt that
someone was always controlling him from behind the scenes.She had told Justin about this back then,
and he said that he would look into it.
Later, he became so occupied that he pushed this matter aside, and she did not pursue it any further.
Now, she found out that Heather was behind the Light-Shadow Killers!
"That means she manipulated Henry into trying to take over the Lodge family and make him her
puppet?" Alexander nodded.
"I supposed that was her plan, but who would've thought that even someone like Henry couldn't be so
easily manipulated? While she was using him to gain the power of the Lodge family, he was also using
her to seize power.Their only downfall was that they had miscalculated and underestimated your and

Lily's face turned hot when she heard this.
"I didn't even do anything."
Although she did some small things here and there, Justin was the one who turned the tide.
As far as business was concerned, he was better at it, as well.He was the most capable patriarch of the
Lodge family.
Alexander rubbed her head gently and smiled.
"What you're capable of is clear to me."
Lily shook her head awkwardly after being petted like a dog.
"Wait, you mentioned a handbook.What handbook are you talking about? Although I left the Lodge
family, I've never heard Grandpa mention anything about one."
Could it be that some secret handbooks were passed to Justin? "It doesn't belong to your family.lt
belongs to mine."
Hearing this, Lily's eyes widened in shock.
"Your family?! But...but your family isn't..."
The Russells had been in the business field for generations.
They worked hard to expand their influence over the years and built a mighty business empire.
They had never before been reported to have dabbled in kickboxing.
What handbook could pique the interest of Heather if it wasn't from an ancient kickboxing family?
"Although no one in our family practices kickboxing, there is indeed a secret kickboxing handbook.l'm
not clear about this.I just know that it exists and I think that's why she came here."
He left out one part of his sentence.
That the reason Heather got engaged to Ralph was probably to try and get her hands on this
handbook.
What handbook was worth sacrificing her life for? Were the engagement and marriage just a cover to
get it? "Where's the handbook...?"
Lily asked anxiously.
Then, after thinking about it, she started explaining, "I'm not thinking about it.I'm just wondering if she
took it."
"I don't think so," Alexander said, shaking his head.

stolen.lt may be related to this, and the theft happened the day after Heather moved in."
Lily looked bewildered.
There was too much information for her to digest.
After a pause, she questioned. "How many things are you hiding from me? What else have you not told
me?"
Noticing her displeasure, he quickly lowered himself to look her in the eyes and said, "Nothing.
Nothing else, I swear!
"The only reason I didn't tell you before this was because I don't want you to stress over this and affect
your body.Besides, I don't want you to have to deal with Heather."
He pursed his lips with a stoic face.
That woman was bad news, but he couldn't shield Lily from her.
Heather sent herself right up to their front door!
"You id*ot!"
Lily burst into laughter.
