Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1053

Ralph got up and said confidently, “I think you won’t be able to find a better candidate than me.”

He was not utterly confident, but he knew Heather could not find a better candidate for the task than him. Ralph also knew she would not have made such an offer if she had options. He now felt that 30% of the shares was insufficient.

‘If Heather can make such an offer just like that, it means the secret handbook is worth much more. However, there’s no hurry in making a counteroffer. Once I get my hands on it, I’ll be in a good position to negotiate the price. I’ll get even with her for the injuries and humiliation she has given me today!’

Ralph turned to leave but remembered something and looked over his shoulder at Heather. He looked her up and down and fixed his gaze on her cup-holding hand.

Made uneasy by his stare, Heather grew slightly upset. “What is it now?”

“Where’s the ring I gave you?” Although it was not that expensive, he made an effort to choose which one to buy. Seeing that she was not wearing the ring, he could not help but think she was tough to predict.

“Oh.” Heather glanced at her finger and thought about the ring she had squeezed into a lump—the one Hannah had treasured so dearly. She said indifferently, “It was too low-priced for me, and I dropped it accidentally. Why? You’re not so petty, aren’t you? Or do you want me to compensate you?”

Ralph gnashed his teeth and balled his hands into fists. He said gravely, “There’s no need! Indeed it did not cost me much, and if you’ve thrown it away, so be it. At least we’ve leveled with each other.”
