Chapter 1185
Lily knew her words would not comfort Alexander, but it was better than nothing.
Alexander held her hand tightly, pulled her to sit on the bench nearby, and slowly said, "She's old."
Lily was taken aback by this.
"I used to think Grandma was always so full of spirit that she would always do anything to go against
me.Grandma would help my uncle and pull some strings behind my back. However, I always tolerated
it because she's my grandmother at the end of the day," he continued unhurriedly.
His eyes were staring into the distance as if recalling the past.Lily did not interrupt him.
It was rare that he was in the mood to talk "Grandpa told me back when he was alive that although
Grandma had her
shortcomings, her heart for my grandfather was true. She also dedicated herself to the entire family.
With these two sentences, I firmly believe that no matter how much Grandma took, she would not let
the family fall apart."
At this point, he stopped and sighed.
Lily had always known that Alexander had a good relationship with his grandfather.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was also his grandfather that had single-handedly made him the way he was today.
Therefore, Alexander took everything his grandfather had said to heart and was extra tolerant toward
his grandmother.
Thinking of these things, she could understand why he had tolerated all those things before.
With his power, things did not have to drag that far.
Alexander could efficiently deal with them immediately.
A prime example of this would be what happened with Ralph.
Alexander could have easily prevented the family meeting by telling the truth. However, because he
was concerned for his grandmother, he chose to keep quiet.
Still, things have spiraled out of control.
"Grandma must be very sad right now." Margaret loved Ralph.
Although she was the one that revealed the truth to everyone, she was also the one who had been
most affected by it.
"Is Ralph still refusing to come back?" Lily asked after pondering about it.
She heard about how Ralph had dropped by with no intention of staying. So, why did he show up in the
first place? Was it just to see Margaret? Alexander shook his head.
"His secret has been exposed. Even if he stays with us, he won't be able to stand the jeers and ridicule
from others unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless the family elders decide to keep him in the family tree and adopt him as a foster son to
Grandma. That is the only way." However, Alexander shook his head as he spoke. He knew the elders
would disagree.
After the meeting that day, they had already expressed their views on this.
Ralph's behavior was unjustifiable. He even went as far as to forge a DNA report to try and pull
Alexander down.
Ralph did not consider how much turmoil it would have cost the Russell family.
Although his attempt had failed, the intention was bad enough for him to get expelled from the family.
Alexander had no objection to that either.
Like how every nation had its laws, each family had their rules.
A family without strict rules to abide by would end in chaos, especially if it were a family as big as

"The real estates under his name are already in the conversion process. As for the money in his card,
I'd just leave the money in there for him.I suppose one can regard it as a benevolence," Alexander
explained.
Then he smiled.
"Although, he might not be short of money now." Lily thought of something when Alexander mentioned
this.
"Oh, right. Didn't you say he's with Heather? Is Heather hiding him?"
"Do you know..."
He glanced around before whispering, "She might not actually be Heather."
"Huh?"
However, Lily was not too surprised by this.
After all, she had doubts when meeting Heather at the hotel. She knew Alexander was looking into this,
so she did not pay much attention.
"You mean she's a fraud?"
