Ralph tossed and turned the entire night, thinking about how he should treat that crazy woman the next
day.
After much consideration, he finally got dressed and headed downstairs, realizing that apart from his
mother and sister, Heather was nowhere around.
The house was quiet as everyone ate breakfast, and nothing seemed unusual.
"Where's Heather?" he asked suspiciously.
"A lady like her would never want to eat commoners’ food," Celine muttered coldly.
She did not have a good impression of Heather ever since yesterday.
Although Celine disliked Lily, that woman lived elsewhere and not in the Russell Estate.
Celine did not have to see Lily if she did not want to.
However, Heather was different.
She had already moved in before even marrying Ralph, and seeing how overbearing Heather was
yesterday, Celine knew she might be even worse in the future.

"What happened to your mouth?!" She exclaimed.

up with an excuse when Celine put down her bowl of porridge and snorted.
"Mom, do you still have to ask about things like these? Some people were so excited last night that
they couldn't wait until they got into the room."
This caught Ralph off guard.
‘So, she saw us"
Celine ignored how Ralph looked and continued muttering thoughtfully, "Who would've thought that the
cold and arrogant Ms. Riggs has such a passionate side? Ralph, I'm happy for you. However,
remember that the Russells are no less powerful than her family.
"You shouldn't stoop too low for her. She might have tricks up her sleeves, so you should be careful!" "I
know,"
Ralph answered before taking his coat and getting ready to leave.
"Are you not going to have breakfast?" Margaret called out behind him.
"No, I'm heading out."
With that, he left the house.

relaxed.

deemed pretty troublesome.
When Lily joked that even with all the bodyguards’ skills combined, they would not be as good as her.
