Chapter 1124
Alexander nodded and briefly looked around. "Where's Grandma?" "Your grandmother will be out soon,
don’t worry. We should start first," Ralph said.
Alexander briefly wondered if his grandmother's being present was particularly significant. He then
moved forward and turned to look at Lily. She lifted her hand from his and took a few steps back, but
remained by his side.
"Good afternoon to all the elders here. Today, we're gathered here...” Alexander paused for a moment
and turned to Ralph. "Since you're the one who called us here today, do you have something to
announce?"
When Alexander asked him first, Ralph smiled smugly. "Of course, I have something important to
announce. This is something important involving the Russell family's bloodline."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce everyone heard that it was something important, they immediately sat up. One of Ralph's uncles
started to joke, "What is it? Bloodline? Ralph, are you planning to have a kid?”
This caused everyone in the room to laugh.
Ralph was not upset by the joke. Instead, he looked at his uncle and said," Don’t worry, Uncle. I'll have
a kid in the future. Anyway, what I’m about to announce will affect our family's bloodline. This is an
important issue, as our bloodline should be pure."
Ralph raised his voice so that everyone in the hall could hear him.
Everyone stopped laughing as soon as they realized he was serious about this, and the atmosphere in
the room changed instantly.
"Ralph, what is it?" Someone asked curiously, but Ralph did not answer him. He took a step back and
looked at Alexander.
Alexander was always the one leading the family meetings and the one with the most power. However,
this would change. Ralph would no longer be the one sitting down. Instead, he would take his place as
the leader.
Alexander continued to hold his gaze. He looked like he was still unaware of what was about to
happen. Ralph almost laughed when he saw Alexander's face.
'Alex, you’ve been in charge for so long, yet you did not expect to fall into my hands, did you?' Ralph
thought smugly.
Ralph cleared his throat before continuing, "Alex, this issue will affect the Russell famil/s reputation.
What if someone among us claims to be a Russell but isn’t? What should we do with this person?"
Since Ralph had openly asked him this question, Alexander looked him in the eye and replied, "Even
though our bloodline is important, this is the twenty-first century. I'm not sure who you’re referring to,
but if that person isn't of the Russell family bloodline, how would they become one of us?"
nWhat if that person purposefully kept it hidden, or if he isn’t even aware of it?” Ralph continued to ask
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmquestions.
"Then, there are only two possibilities. If that person intentionally kept it a secret and tried to lie their
way into the family, we should kick them out. However, if that person is unaware of their bloodline and
is already integrated into the family, it won’t change anything. Our bloodline is indeed important, but so
is our relationship."
Alexander clarified sensibly, "Our family is huge, so maybe that person had some reason to do this. As
long as it doesn't harm our family, then it isn't an important issue."
Ralph did not expect Alexander to say this. He thought Alexander would insist on kicking that person
out of the family. Ralph had wanted to use this against him, but it had backfired.
Alexander was a sly fox, but Ralph would not allow him to have his way. He would force Alexander to
take a stand on this issue.
Ralph smiled and stepped forward, saying, "That's not entirely true. Our family is rather conservative,
right? I'm sure most of the elders here would agree. Would you be able to sit still if you found out your
grandchild, whom you've loved for years, wasn't yours?"
