Chapter 1061
"Is that so?” Margaret looked suspicious, believing only half of what Ralph said.
"It's true." Ralph leaned closer. Then he murmured and paraphrased what Heather had said, omitting her threats, "So, I will get 30% of the Riggs Group's shares if I can find that secret handbook. Wait, I can ask for more since I'll inevitably be in charge."
He thought things through. He would have a better time negotiating terms with Heather if he had the handbook.
Margaret probably understood but still had doubts. "Is what she said true? I’ve been with your father for all these years, and I have never heard of secret handbooks. Is Heather mistaken?”
“Impossible!“ Ralph shook his head decisively and was sure about it. "Don't overthink it. Her family has been in the business for a long time, so she is obsessed with this handbook. The handbook is useless to us.
“However, it’s a priceless treasure to her. How can she make mistakes with these things? She probably thought about it. Also, if it weren't for the handbook, she wouldn't promise to give me 30% of her company shares.
‘That thing is more important than the Riggs Group to Heather," After some thought, Ralph continued, "Furthermore, how can Alex be so formidable if the handbook didn't exist? The secret handbook has to exist, and the skills it contains must be insanely powerful. It's just that Dad kept it a secret and didn't tell us about it. He even kept it from you."
Margaret heard her son's explanation and felt he made sense. With this belief, it was inevitable that she would have complaints about her deceased husband, "Damn that old man! I never expected him to hide something so severe from me, especially since we've been together for decades!
