Chapter 1090 Ralph was angry, and so was Margaret. She wanted to help her son get what he deserved. She admitted that her favoritism blinded her. However, was it unusual for people to have preferences? It was natural that she had favored her son over her grandson.

She interrupted Ralph's complaints and asked, "Fine, what do you wantto do?’ "Mom, | need you to do one thing for me-just one. You must promiseyou'll do it,” Ralph pleaded.
Hearing his serious tone, Margaret collected herself and listened to him attentively. ‘Tellwhat it is.” "Don't look at the results. If you've already seen it, just ignore it. Please remember that Alex isn’t part of the family, no matter the results,” Ralph insisted.
Margaret immediately threw her blanket off and sat on the edge of the bed. "What do you mean?” "Isn't it obvious, Mom? I'm asking you to acknowledge that he isn't the biological descendant of the Russells," Ralph insisted again, “Also, don't let Sister know about this. | don't want her running her mouth." "H-How could you do such a thing? You're planning to back him into a corner?" Margaret had never expected Ralph to do such a thing. She clutched her chest with one of her hands to calm herself.

Margaret would not have cared less about removing Alexander from his position if that were the truth. However, the DNA results stated otherwise. If she were to do this, it would be cruel and unreasonable to him.
Margaret drew a deep breath and said, "Ralph, have you ever thought what if the report proved Alex was part of the family? Isn't it too cruel for you to treat him like this? He is family, after all. How could you kick him out?" No matter how much she wanted to seize the family reign from Alexander's hands, she had never once thought of banishing him from the family. Margaret would never forgive herself nor face her late husband if she ever did that to Alexander.
"Mom, you've read the report, haven't you?" Ralph asked after a moment of silence.
She would not have said this if she had not. Margaret was too kind. Ralph was glad he had made this phone call. He needed to convince his mother to get on board with his plan so that he could convince the other family elders.
The report results did not matter since this was Ralph's last chance.
