Spoiled By Mr. Russell By Luminous Night Chapter 631


    “I know what’s the number,” Alexander came up from behind Lily and held her hand. Then he turned to


    Edward. “You can go now.”


    Edward nodded and left, not forgetting to close the door behind him.


    “Seriously? You’re jealous because of this? I was just trying to help Olivia!” Lily waved her phone in


    front of Alexander to remind him.


    “Of course, I know that!” Alexander pinched her nose lightly and pulled her to sit next to him. “So, what


    did Justin say?”


    “I think he was worried about something. He didn’t say much, but I’m sure he knows something. I just


    don’t know why he would allow them to do as they please,” Lily borated.


    Alexander thought for a few seconds before asking, “You’re saying he has given up his position as the


    head of the family?”


    “I’m assuming he did it to prevent the family from getting into a feud. However, judging from the current


    situation, I don’t think that’s working.” Lily had never expected this many problems to arise immediately


    after her grandfather’s death.


    Most of the Lodge family’s elders were here, and they caused a hugemotion at the funeral. Lily


    was genuinely upset about how the situation had turned out.


    “On the surface, it seems like the elders are using their authority and isting you and Justin. Am I


    right?” Alexander questioned.


    Lily nodded solemnly. “I never expected Henry to cause such a huge problem to the family.”


    On the other hand, Alexander just shook his head in disagreement. “I don’t think so. Just Henry alone


    would not be able to stir up such a hugemotion. It’s all because people are supporting him.


    Besides, the only thing that could cause such a hugemotion was their personal interests.”


    Lily agreed with everything Alexander had said. She also spected that the elders united because of


    their intertwined personal interests.


    “I thought with their growing age, their appetite would be less ambitious, and they would be content


    with their share of profits from the family,” Lily sighed in disappointment.


    During today’s confrontation, Lily noticed that most of the family elders were neutral toward who the


    head family was. Still, when Henry stood up and expressed dissatisfaction, most. elders immediately


    took his side. Lily assumed this was likely due to him promising certain benefits to the elders.


    “Even if the elders are against it, Justin has been the head of the family for many years. How can he


    just give up his position so easily? He could always use his authority as the head of the family to


    overrule their opinions. Why would he allow them to walk over him like that?!” Lily said frustratingly.


    Looking at her flustered face, Alexanderughed softly, “You think they walked over him?”

    Lily was speechless for a moment.


    “He merely gave up his position only temporarily. Besides, don’t you remember who he gave


    it to?” Alexander exined patiently.


    “You’re saying Justin had intentionally given the position to Granduncle Jonathan so that this would


    lead to a disagreement between themselves?” Lily could finally understand Justin’s intentions after


    giving it some thought


    Still, she was slightly doubtful. “Even so, since the head position is already in their hands, they will


    never give it back to Justin.”


    Alexander extended his index finger and lightly tapped Lily’s forehead before continuing, Justin didn’t


    give them the rights to thepany, did he? Giving up his power as the family head isn’t as simple as


    handing over a few keys and some documents.


    “Being the family head, especially to a prestigious family such as the Lodge family, isn’t as simple as


    you think. As you said, Justin has held this position for a few years. Don’t you think he has already built


    up some of his own connections and ways to handle conflicts that arise?”


    Lily felt enlightened, “I’m such a fool! Why didn’t I think of that!‘


    “You’re not a fool. You’re too focused on your work to care about the corporate politics and dramas


    around you. Honestly, I’d prefer if you don’t know anything about these issues if it’s possible. I would


    never want you to get caught up in something like this,” Alexander rified. as he gently stroked his


    wife’s hair.


    He told her lovingly, “I should be the one dealing with such dirty matters.”


    “I can’t always be hiding behind you either. There are some things I must face on my own, Lily


    concluded after some thought. She sat up straight and looked into her husband’s eyes. Considering


    how they are, I don’t think they will try to search for the real culprit who killed. my grandfather. They’ll


    probably try to pin this on either Justin or me within these three. days.”
