Twins Secret (Tiffany)

Chapter 121 Ralph, Let's Still Be Friends When Flora finally drifted back to sleep and her fears eased up, Sam and Barry let out a big sigh of relief.

Ronald slipped in, quietly closing the door behind him. He took a seat by the hospital bed, keeping Flora company without bothering Tiffany and Leon. Ralph was there too, making it awkward for Ronald to say much. In Leon's room, Tiffany clutched his hand tightly, praying over and over for him to wake up soon.

The incident at the preschool had already blown up online.

Someone had posted a video of Leon falling from the rooftop, and rumors were flying that Leon was in a coma and the Cooper Group was about to go under. Gossip accounts were going wild, and the intewas buzzing with chatter.

Even though the Cooper Group had people working to take down the videos, the info spread too fast, like a flood that couldn't be stopped.

The craziest part was that sfolks online were suggesting employees should jump ship. They claimed that with Leon out of commission, the company's projects wouldn't stand a chance against competitors, and they urged employees to find new jobs quickly.

"Tiffany, ignore the online rumors. The doctor assured us that Leon will be fine; he just needs tto wake up," Ralph said, trying to comfort her. He reached out to place a hand on Tiffany's shoulder, but she kept staring at Leon.

Ralph's hand hovered in the air before he slowly pulled it back, pretending nothing had happened.

"However," he continued, "the Cooper Group might face attacks from multiple companies this time. Leon dominated many industries, and although many companies had grievances, they didn't dare speak out because of his influence." "I know," Tiffany replied softly. She had always been aware of these issues but hadn't expected things to blow up so quickly.

It had only been half a day since Leon's accident, but so many people were already eager to move. Tiffany couldn't believe they hadn't been preparing for this.

When she first noticed the mysterious person causing trouble behind the scenes, Tiffany knew things weren't that simple.

Thinking back, Bronte taking Flora away was part of that person's plan. They probably hadn't anticipated Leon falling from the rooftop.

Now that Leon was in trouble, that person must have lost patience and immediately contacted various companies to divide up the Cooper Group's business projects.

Tiffany turned to look at Ralph. With Leon in trouble, Ralph's continued presence here could cause unnecessary complications.

"Ralph, you should go back. You shouldn't be here withright now," she said softly.

Tiffany's words were true. With Leon in trouble, the Larson Corporation would also be looking for ways to take down the Cooper Group. As someone from the Larson Corporation, Ralph shouldn't be too close to Tiffany in this situation.

"Tiffany, you know I don't care about that. What truly matters is..." Ralph didn't get to finish his sentence before Tiffany cut him off.

Ralph, I turned you down before because I knew I wasn't over Leon yet. I knew you genuinely cared about me, but now I've realized that I truly love Leon. I'm sorry, Ralph. Let's just be friends." Every word Tiffany said felt like a stab to Ralph's heart. He had always known Tiffany had feelings for Leon, but he just didn't want to face it.

Ralph thought that if he just tried a bit harder, he might win Tiffany's heart. But her straight-up rejection left no room for hope.

"Tiffany, you don't have to decide so quickly. We can still think about..." "No need to think about it, Ralph." Tiffany's response was quick, her gaze steady. "Right now, I just want to be with Leon. You deserve someone better. Please go back for now. I want to be alone with Leon, okay?" Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! Ralph opened his mouth to speak but swallowed his words.

"Well, you take care of yourself." He forced a smile and left the room.

Tiffany's mind was entirely on Leon, not noticing Ralph's expression as he left.

She held Leon's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "Leon, didn't you wantto forgive you and reconcile with you? Then wake up soon. If you wake up, I'll agree." Tiffany's voice grew softer as she finished, quietly sobbing beside him.

At the Larson Corporation, Ralph had barely returned to the office when Miguel's team summoned him. He knocked on the office door and walked in to find Miguel sitting in his chair with his legs crossed, a thick stack of documents beside him. "Ralph, I heard you went to the hospital. Did you see Leon?" Miguel asked. Ralph nodded, lost in thought.

Noticing Ralph's mood, Miguel couldn't help but mock him. "Ralph, why so down? Did you just get dumped?" Seeing his face darkened further, Miguel realized he had hit the mark and laughed. "Looks like I was right. Did Tiffany reject you?" Miguel seemed thrilled, walking over to Ralph and patting his shoulder with a sigh. "There are plenty of women in the world. Why fixate on her? You care so much for her, but what did she do? She's probably by Leon's side, not even sparing you a glance." Every word Miguel said hit Ralph where it hurt. Ralph clenched his fists, his tone displeased. "Miguel, what do you want?"

Seeing Ralph getting angry, Miguel decided not to push further. Hem straightened his suit and and walked back to his desk, tossing the stack of documents into Ralph's arms.

"With Leon in a coma, this is our chance. These are the Cooper Group's ongoing projects. I've contacted several suppliers who are willing to accept our high prices to terminate their contracts with the Cooper Group," Miguel said. "Make sure to follow up and organize the documents. We need to prepare thoroughly while Leon is out. I hope he never wakes up, so the Cooper Group loses its backbone, which would benefit the Larson Corporation." After Miguel finished, Ralph said nothing. He glanced at the documents and left the office.

Night fell.

In the hospital room, Ronald walked in and quietly draped a coat over Tiffany's shoulders.

Feeling someone approach, Tiffany woke up immediately. Seeing it was Ronald, she relaxed and forced a smile. "Grandpa." "Tiffany, don't wear yourself out." Ronald looked at Tiffany's weary face, feeling deeply sorry for her.

"I'm fine, Grandpa." She pulled over a chair and helped Ronald sit down.

Ronald looked at Leon, tears welling up in his eyes.

As Tiffany sat down, she remembered something Ronald had mentioned to the doctor earlier and asked curiously, "Grandpa, what happened when Leon had that head injury?" Hearing Tiffany's question, Ronald instinctively gripped his cane, his expression hesitant. But fearing Tiffany would worry if he didn't answer, he made up an excuse.

"He was young and playful back then, accidentally falling from the balcony. I scolded him many times for it." Tiffany hadn't imagined Leon having a mischievous side, as the Leon she knew was always mature and steady.
