Chapter 779
After a while, Lily moved and put her hand on his, holding it to give him some warmth.
Alexander turned to look at her, shaking his head as he told her that he was fine.
"I know you’re fine.I just felt like holding your hand,"
Lily chuckled.He held her hand too, feeling his frustration subdued by a whole lot.
His head was leaned against the headrest, and he stayed silent for a moment before starting, "Don’t
worry.I won’t let them hurt you."
"Them?" Lily thought for a while and realized who he was referring to.
Nodding her head, she said, "I trust you."
She understood little about the Russell family.
To be more specific, outsiders and the media were unable to report on the Russell family's issues in
detail.Something seemed to be shrouding the big family, and outsiders had no way to see what was

which was why Brandon called him "Fourth Russell."
Although he was the fourth child, he was the only one left because all his elder brothers had died.She
was unclear about their exact cause of death, but Alexander was the only one who survived.
Apparently, he had a weak body before this and had only gotten stronger after his family hired a genius
doctor to treat him.
Later, he inherited the family’s business and moved forward until today.
Even though Lily knew little about his family, she could tell that they were not a harmonious family,
judging from how he treated his grandmother and aunt earlier.
When Wilfred was in charge of the Lodge family, their family was fairly harmonious, but there was still
someone like Henry in the family, not to mention other wealthy families such as the Russell family.
Conflicts of interest were inevitable in wealthy families once their family business expanded.
When their self-interest was at stake, they would engage in all manner of competition and dirty tricks.
As a result, a person's heart was both the simplest and most difficult thing to comprehend.
"I heard them mention that someone was getting engaged soon.Would it clash with our wedding?"
"They should be talking about Ralph,"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмAlexander said lightly.
"yeah!"
Lily nodded repeatedly.
"I think that’s the name they mentioned.He’s your..."
Lily had not heard that he had any other siblings, so who was Ralph? "He is the youngest uncle of
mine, and he’s only a few years older than I am,"
Alexander explained, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Upon hearing his words, Lily was reminded of such a person from the Russell family.
Apparently, Margaret got pregnant with him at an older age.

When Ralph was still a teenager, his father, Hugo Russell, who was also Alexander’s grandfather,
passed away.
That made Margaret adore her youngest son even more than she did her other children and even
Alexander.
No matter where she went, she would bring Ralph with her.
Later, Ralph grew up and became rebellious, so she had no way to bring him around anymore.
However, Lily was not very concerned with such matters before, so she only had a vague memory of
them.
She could only remember the things that happened long ago.
After all, she would hear about these things from other wealthy families after living with the Lodge
family for so many years.
"Then...would our wedding clash with his engagement party?" Lily asked.
"It doesn’t matter."
Alexander looked at her and pulled her hand closer to his lips, kissing the back of it.
"Our wedding is about us.What does it have to do with them?"
