Spoiled by Mr. Russell by Luminous Night Chapter 1160–Collecting herself, she realized the phone was
indeed ringing.
Taking it from the nightstand, she checked the caller and hurriedly answered, “Ralph, is it you? Where
are you? Why aren’t you coming back?”
Ralph was surprised.He never expected such a reaction from his mother.
She sounded worried and concerned and was not as heartless and icy as the other day.
“Mom…”
He barely knew what else to say.He had mixed feelings toward her.
She had adored him for years, but at the last minute, she betrayed him.
“Ralph? Ralph?”

“Are you…still blaming me?”
“Why did you do that?”
Clenching his fists, he was on the verge of tears as he sat on a nearby sofa arm.
“How could you do that to me? You’ve ruined my life, do you realize that? How could you be…so
heartless?”
Margaret was unable to hold back tears as he questioned her.
“I wasn’t being heartless.I simply couldn’t betray the family!”
She cried and said, “You have no idea how I struggled in agony when I read the DNA report.
You’re my favorite son, and I never thought “Then why didn’t you tell me earlier? Did you enjoy making a
fool of me in front of so many people?”
He had called to seek forgiveness so his mother could let him return home, but he grew so angry that he
forgot about his goal.
“I wanted to keep it from you at first!”
She could hardly speak as she sobbed.
“If the truth had brought me such agony, I knew it would devastate you, and I’d rather be the only one
who suffers from it.I told you not to go and burn your bridges, but you wouldn’t listen! “T even told you to
stop your plan that morning, but did you listen to me?”
Margaret wanted him to know that she was in anguish over having to expose the secret.
If she could choose, she wanted to take the secret to her grave so that no one, especially him, would
know.She wished that he could remain a member of the family and continue to enjoy wealth for the rest
of his life, even though he could amount to nothing.

She did not want to expose the secret, but she could not allow an actual descendant to be kicked out of
the family.She came forth and told the truth, but every word she said stung her deeply.
“If you had told me straight about my…birth, wouldn’t I listen to you? Besides, who knows if the DNA
report is fake? You could just treat me as your son, as I’ve always treated you as my birth mother.
If you keep it a secret, I’d never know it, and I’ll always be a member of the Russell family! Why couldn’t
you just help me then? I almost succeeded!”
Clenching his teeth, he thought he was only a step away from success, but his mother, the one person
he trusted most, had sabotaged him and caused his downfall instead.
“You wouldn’t have succeeded.”
Margaret sniffled and said in a husky voice, “Even if I didn’t say anything, you wouldn’t have succeeded
either.”
