Chapter 1125
Ralph's comment convinced the elders, and most agreed. They nodded and said, 'That's true. Who
would want to raise someone else's child? Who would do that voluntarily?"
"That's right. If someone told me to raise someone else's kid, I probably wouldn't."
"How can we ignore the importance of a pure bloodline? Does that mean someone committed adultery
in the family? Who is it?"
Everyone around the room started discussing as this was a sensitive topic to them, instantly throwing
the room into chaos. Everyone looked at each other accusingly and wondered who Ralph was referring
to.
The elders thought the person had stayed in the family for a long time, even though they were not
related by blood.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Russell family was unlike ordinary families. They were a vast and influential family. Even those
from the branch family benefited greatly from the family name. Endless wealth and power came with
the family name, so why should someone who did not belong to the family enjoy these privileges?
It was not a joking matter. Even though the elders were suspicious of each other, no one dared to
accuse anyone of anything.
As the others were having a heated discussion, Ralph looked at Alexander quietly while Alexander held
his gaze in silence.
Finally, someone asked, "So, who are you talking about? You can't just leave us hanging here. Since
you've started it, you have to explain to us.”
"Yeah. Isn't that why you gathered us here? The Russell family's bloodline is important, and you can't
leave it like this."
Ralph turned to those who spoke up. It was the reaction Ralph had wanted, and he smiled in
satisfaction as he turned back to Alexander. "Look at everyone's reactions. How can you possibly say
that bloodline isn't important? Where did you come across such a ridiculous theory? If that person isn't
a Russell, why should they enjoy the privileges of being a Russell?"
"Yes." Even though most agreed with Ralph, some were hesitant as they were still unaware of who he
was referring to.
"Is it more than the bond they had built with the family? More important than years of nurturing and
affection?" Alexander questioned calmly, "If one were unaware of their true identity since birth, but the
Russell family took them in and nurtured them, it's not entirely their fault, is it? Isn't it better not to tell
that person the truth?"
"I disagree. Maintaining the bloodline is something passed down by the family. How can we ignore it?
We must remove anyone that isn't from the Russell family. Otherwise, how can our ancestors rest in
peace?" Ralph was determined not to leave any choice to Alexander since all he wanted was to

He had entirely forgotten what Margaret had said to him-to give others a second chance. Even though
he looked calm on the surface, greed had already blinded him.
He had called for a family meeting to ensure Alexander would fall from grace. Ralph had not only
planned to take him down but also did not want to give him any second chances.
If Ralph could remove Alexander from the Russell family, Alexander could not do anything to him as
Alexander would no longer have power or wealth. Ralph would not give Alexander any chances to take
revenge on him.
Some agreed with what Ralph had said, but others sided with Alexander.
After all, if one did not know their true identity, it would not be their fault— instead, it would be their
parents.
"In my opinion, anyone who tries to mess up our bloodline should be held accountable. Since it’s not
the outsider’s fault, the parents are at fault here." One of the elders said.
