Chapter 1097
"Don't you believe me, Mom? I’ve already told Heather about it. She said she would help me. Did you
forget that Alex had hurt her as well? Once I become the family patriarch, Heather and I will continue
being in a cooperative relationship. It'll have long-term benefits for our family's growth.
"Alex, on the other hand, has offended the Riggs. With him in charge, who knows what dangers will
arise in the future." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Whatever the case, this is all for our
family’s good.
Can’t you just agree to help me?’
Margaret stayed silent for a long time before slowly saying, “Are you honestly doing this for our family
and not yourself?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRalph was taken aback by her question. His mother had never questioned him like this. After all, it was
no different whether it was for the family or himself.
After getting over his initial shock, he immediately retorted, "Of course, it's for the family and me! Mom,
you're acting like I'm not a part of the family. Of course, I'd put our family first. I'm not Alex. I'll help our
family flourish!"
"Alex is a part of the family as well. He’s my grandson. No matter how much I dislike his mother, I can't
change the fact that he's the grandson of this family," Margaret said earnestly.
Her words made Ralph a little flustered. He felt that his mother was being weird and different today.
In the past, she would always jump to his aid. Yet now, it seemed like she was talking for Alexander.
Could he have brainwashed her? Maybe the DNA test had changed her mind.
Thinking about this, he immediately stepped up and said, "How is that the same? You said it yourself
that he’s the child of a woman you don't like, and his personality is just like that mother of his who had
never seen the outside world.
"He’s just like his mother. All he cares about is himself. He doesn't even respect his elders, but I'm not
like him, Mom. I'm your son. How can I not think about you and the family? Mom, did Alexander say
something to you? Why did you say such a thing?
"You shouldn’t trust him. Nothing honest ever comes out of his mouth. Look at how he set me up and
baited me into his trap. Coming up to you and persuading you with sweet words is nothing to him!"
"Exactly." Margaret let out a long sigh. "It’d be easy if he had come up and said some nice things to
persuade me, but after all these years, he has never said more than two words to me."
Ralph was perplexed. Something was wrong here. Why did Margaret seem more inclined to side with
Alexander?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he was about to question further, he heard his mother ask, "What do you want to do?’
This sudden change in momentum brought him back to his senses. It seemed like Margaret had
agreed. He was immediately overjoyed.
"Mom, it's simple. I'll gather the family elders and let them bear witness to this. When the time comes,
call Alex and announce the DNA results in front of everyone.
‘We'll tell them Alex is not a descendant of the Russell family and that the Russell blood doesn't flow
through his veins. That way, he won't be qualified to be in charge of the Russell family."
Margaret asked, "It won't be hard to convince the family, but what about the company?"
