"Okay. Let me know when you have updates about it. That’s it for now!" Ralph hung up the call and

finally realized his elbows were hurting. He probably fell too hard earlier and failed to notice it because

his thoughts distracted him.

His joint was aching, and he touched it carefully with the other hand. It seemed swollen, and he

wondered if it was dislocated.

'What a sad day! I thought we could at least seal the deal today, even if we didn't set it in stone yet.

Then I would just need to wait for the transaction to happen and get what I wanted. I never expected

that woman to be so cunning.

'She took advantage of me to distract them while she sneaked into the house. Those were just her

words, so I can't trust what she said entirely.'

He looked down at the pictures on his phone screen. Initially, they were treasures to him, but it now felt

like a hot potato. It could not bring him anything in return, and he had to be careful of Alexander.

Indeed, Heather had tricked him terribly this time around.

Alexander stood at the door to his and Lily's bedroom at home. Everything looked like they were in the

correct spot, but when he looked closer, he saw a few arrows nailed to the wall on one side while the

carpet on the floor was in a slightly different position.

He stretched out his hand, feeling for a button by the side of the bed and pushing it lightly. With that, a

light thud sounded in the room. The room appeared untouched, but it seemed to have lost a certain

kind of atmosphere, giving it a more comfortable ambiance.

Lily strode to the safe at the corner of the room and twisted something.

Then there was a click, indicating that she had opened the safe, but it was empty. It did not surprise her

as she looked back at Alexander, her brow slightly raised. "You were right!"

After flattening out the wrinkle on the carpet, Alexander walked over to the bed and sat down as he

patted the spot next to him, motioning for Lily to come over.

When she sat beside him, he put his arm around her shoulder and said unhurriedly, "He’ll only leave

after getting what he wants. After all, he had gone through so much trouble and even asked for

grandma’s help to do this."

"You're certain he worked with Heather to do this?" Lily turned to look at Alexander. When he set up

this trap, Lily found it strange and wondered how he was so sure that Ralph would come over.

Nonetheless, Alexander was right.

Margaret came alone when she visited, so Lily thought they had guessed it wrong. She thought Ralph

would not strike by himself but asked Margaret to come over to ask for the secret handbook instead.

However, she realized Margaret was only there to divert their attention when she insisted they go

shopping with her and buy all sorts of things. It seemed that Ralph was only going to make a move

after they left.

If they had agreed to Margaret's request too quickly, that would arouse Ralph's suspicions. Hence, they

made it seem like they were unwilling to leave the house after Margaret persuaded them a few times.

As expected, Ralph came to the house not long after they left.
