Celine never woke up early, so she was grumpy when she opened the door. Her hair was in a mess, and her eyes were bloodshot.
She angrily glared at Ralph, "What do you want?!" "My dear sister, | brought you breakfast!" He said with a smile and presented the breakfast he had brought from downstairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Oh, the sun must've risen from the west today." Celine glanced at the breakfast before covering her mouth as she yawned. After that, she turned around to brush her teeth and took a shower.
Ralph heard the sound of water from the bathroom and did not follow her—instead, he sat in her room. He boringly flipped through the books on the table and mockingly laughed when he noticed that most of the books Celine had were .
His elder sister was already an adult, but she still read these books. In a way, this was beneficial to him as Celine could not compete with him. Having an ally was much better than having an enemy, after all.
Celine soon cout after freshening up. She lay on the sofa, picked up a piece of bread, and chewed. "Tell me, what do you want?" "Celine, you know the family elders will ctoday, right?" Ralph asked lowly and stared to see her reaction.
"I heard mom mention it. What are you planning to do?” "That identification report. What | mean is you've read the DNA report, right?” Ralph rubbed his hands together and was unsure of what to say next.
Celine was taken aback and sat upright. "I've seen it. What's wrong?" "It's nothing. It's just the DNA report's result..." "You know the results?" Celine raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRalph licked his lower lip, smiled, and said, "I didn't look at it, but | guessed the result. T-That's not important. The elders are coming, and | will tell everyone that Alex isn’t a blood relative to our family.” "What?!" Celine was so surprised that she almost dropped the bread in her hand. She managed to catch it from falling on the ground with another hand.
"I know this may sound heartless, but we can't drag this matter on any longer, Celine. | wouldn't make such a move if Alex didn’t forceinto a corner. I'm not the only person who suffered all these years. You should think of your allowance that Alex has reduced.
“There's also that twhen you wanted to start a new company. Did you forget what Alex said? There were numerous other examples. If he had the slightest respect for us, as his uncle and aunt, others wouldn't ridicule us, and we wouldn't need to lick his boots.” Celine kept silent but looked at him conflictedly.
However, Ralph did not notice this and continued, "I didn't think of getting a DNA test initially, but the reason for doing so no longer matters. I've prepared the DNA report, and it's with Mom now. Mom will publicly announce it later.
“We will officially remove Alex from the Russell family tree. Of course, he will no longer be eligible to inherit our family's assets.
Celine, remember not to say anything you shouldn't say when the tcomes!” His implicit meaning was self-evident, but Celine did not know what he meant by “things she shouldn't say.” Ralph wanted her to stay silent about the truth and did not want Celine to reveal the real DNA results.
Celine quietly finished the remaining bread in her hand and asked, "Does Mom know about this?” "Yes. | told Mom about this, and the DNA report is with her. Don't worry. I'm just here to give you a heads-up." He nodded, indicating they had reached an agreement.
