Chapter 1127
Most were worried for Ralph when he took Heather's hand since they heard she was a strong and
scary woman. Even Ralph was not confident when he grabbed her.
However, he had to do something since he had already claimed that Heather was his fiancee. If he did
not show the elders he and Heather were close, especially to his mother, they would only be suspicious
of their relationship.
Ralph was sweating as he smiled stiffly and looked at the woman beside him. He was trying to send
her a message through his eyes that it was an important day and not to make him look like a fool.
Although it seemed like his message had gotten through, it could also mean Heather was in a good
mood and might have even changed her mind about working with him again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn short, "Heather" did not shrug his hand off or give him an over-the- shoulder throw-instead, she
allowed him to touch her and smiled. "I hope everyone doesn't mind me intruding."
"Not at all." Most shook their heads. Since she was Ralph's fiancee, she was part of the Russell family.
Ralph confidently smiled as he felt this was probably his best day yet.
He led "Heather" to a seat close to his and turned to her two bodyguards, frowning. "You two can wait
outside."
However, the two bodyguards did not budge and feigned ignorance.
Ralph was unhappy with their attitude and was about to yell at them, but decided not to as they were
Heather's men. He took a deep breath and glared at them before moving closer to Heather, saying,
"Although it's okay for you to be here, this is a family meeting. Can you tell them to..."
"Heather" lifted her head, looked at them, and sighed, 'You should wait for me outside. I'll come out
when this is over. It won't take long."
Her bodyguards nodded and walked toward the entrance.
Ralph felt much better seeing them leave. Still, there was something strange about how Heather talked
to them. They were merely her subordinates, so why did she have to explain things to them? Also, their
job was to wait for her anyway, so why would it matter if she took a long time?
Unfortunately, Ralph did not have time to think about her strange behavior under these circumstances.
He gave her a cup of tea and continued confronting Alexander, "Okay, it's about time we finish our
meaningless argument. I haven't exposed who that person is yet because I'd like to give everyone a
fair chance to make their decisions.
"According to our family’s rules, we will vote en masse. Should the person who isn’t a Russell still enjoy
the wealth and power our family provides, or should they hand it back to the family? We'll vote

He had already instructed the housekeeper to prepare papers and pens beforehand.
He turned toward Alexander and asked, "Isn't this fair? We'll only judge based on the issue and not the
person. When the result is out, everyone should agree on it.”
Alexander glanced at him. "Are you sure about this?"
"Of course. Do you have a better idea? I think this is the best option," Ralph insisted stubbornly.
The other family members agreed as this was the method they had used in previous disagreements
regarding family matters. Of course, the head of the family also had to agree with this.
Lily had remained silent throughout the ordeal. She was not entirely sure about the Russell family's
feud, but she had faith in Alexander. Lily believed he was more than capable of handling this on his
own.
She also noticed that Ralph was intentionally implying that the person was Alexander. It was evident
this was a trap for Alexander.
