Chapter 1130
Margaret was making things difficult for Ralph. She would have destroyed his current plan without him
having a few contingencies up his sleeves.
She ignored him and continued to address the surrounding family members, "I would like to say
something important today. I hope every one of you will be able to overlook today's incident on my
behalf. Whatever Ralph had said today was just some joke, and you should not listen to him nor
continue to question this issue."
Even though the other family members would love to listen to Margaret, unfortunately, this issue had

referring to, but Margaret was trying to protect Alexander.
Lily was astounded. Alexander's relationship with his grandmother had always been less than civil, so
she wondered why Margaret would change her attitude toward him and try to protect him.
"No! That's unacceptable!" Ralph was shocked by what his mother said and immediately stepped in
front of her. "Mom, you can't keep protecting him like this! Alex might be your precious grandson, but
he is not part of our family or my brother's son!
"What would my father and brother think if you keep defending him like this? Will our ancestors be able
to rest in peace!" Ralph took the opportunity to expose Alexander's identity. In other words, he was
announcing to everyone that Alexander was not a child of the Russell family.
Though most in the room had already guessed, hearing it was different. Most were too afraid to speak,
and the hall fell silent. No one dared to say a thing for fear of supporting the wrong side.
"You, shut up!" Margaret was furious, and her body trembled. "Stop speaking!"
"Mom, everyone knows about it now. It's no use for you to hide it anymore. Why don't you tell them the
truth? Even Alex has the right to know if he is my brother's son.
"No one would want to feel left in the dark. Alex might even want to look for his biological father and
find out who he truly is," Ralph finished and looked at Alexander smugly.
Meanwhile, "Heather" sat quietly in her seat. The crowd placed their attention on her when she entered

Hannah glued her haze on Ralph. After the commotion, she finally understood what was happening. To
her surprise, Alexander was not a blood relative of the Russell family. That was why Ralph was so
confident he could take Alexander down and would soon obtain the family's wealth and power.
'If that happened, would Heather reconsider Ralph/s marriage proposal to her? If that time comes, what
will happen to me?' Hannah could not help but worry about this. The glow in her eyes dimmed as she
continued to stare at Ralph, her mind filled with a thousand thoughts.
Since she was too focused on her thoughts, she did not notice Lily studying her. Lily was not at all
worried about Alexander. Even though things might not look like it was going well, she was confident he
could handle this situation.
