Chapter 976
While Ralph thought about this, he looked toward her ears subconsciously.He was not surprised to see
the earrings he had gifted her were sitting nicely on her earlobes.He felt much better.
Women were such contradicting beings! Heather obviously was in love with him but acted like she did
not care much about him.
Ralph concluded that this was probably due to her having to play the role of the head of the household
in public.He would just play along with it, then.He was confident that she would willingly choose to stay
home, raise their kids and be an obedient housewife after marriage.
By then, he would have the Riggs family’s power and wealth in his pocket.He would then have enough
power to go against Alexander, and with the help of his mother and sister, taking back control of the
Russell family would just be a walk in the park.He felt much better after changing his perspective, so he
also started to side with Heather.

Unfortunately, Margaret disagreed with her son’s view.
She was unhappy with Heather’s attitude.
Margaret was, after all, elderly, and her views and opinions were naturally conservative.
Although she would appreciate the Riggs family’s help in supporting her son to take back what was his,
since they had agreed to this marriage proposal, the Riggs family's elders should also be here.
They should be going over the details of the marriage.
Heather's attitude seemed like she did not care about this marriage and took this matter lightly.
Since her son had decided to side with Heather, and they were at a disadvantage, she softened her
tone and asked, "Ms.Riggs, what else do you have in mind? What about the..."
"I suggest that we make it a simple wedding.As for how we’re doing it, I’ve asked my secretary to make
copies of my proposal.You can have a look at it,"
She finished and beckoned her assistant toward them.Her assistant stepped forward and took out
some documents from her briefcase.She gave Margaret and Ralph each a copy.
Margaret and Ralph were equally taken aback by surprise as they had never seen anyone who would
discuss a marriage like they would at business meetings.
This seemed more like a business trade fully equipped with a proper contract and documents.
Margaret's frown deepened as she stared at the document in her hand.It seemed like Heather had
entrusted all the planning to her assistant instead.
She did even bother to show interest in her own marriage? The document also gave Margaret a
headache, and she could no longer take this.
Margaret placed the document dismissively on the table and started massaging her temples,
"Ms.Riggs, I’m an old lady, so l can’t really understand what has been written on the documents.Why
don’t we get straight to the point, then? Since you’ve said you can decide on your own, let’s talk it
out.Name your price, and we’ll try our best to fulfill our side of the bargain.Since you’re addressing me

these documents,"
Margaret had tried her very best to remain as calm and friendly as possible.
She was even smiling at Heather and asking for her opinion on dealing with this issue.
Unfortunately, Heather was still the same arrogant person she was, "It’s fine if you, Mrs.Russell, can’t
understand the details.I'll get my assistant to explain them to you.I don’t plan to ask for much, as long
as the wedding ceremony is sensible, but I wish to speed up..."
"What’s the meaning of this!"
Celine interrupted Heather.She could no longer put up with her attitude, "Ms.Riggs, my mother is a
senior to you, right? Is this how you treat your elderly? Were you like this in front of your parents as
well? Furthermore, this is your Marriage, isn’t it? How could you just ask your assistant to do
everything? Why don't you also ask her to get married on your behalf!"
