Chapter 1058


    Children typically follow their mothers, as the saying goes. Alexander, for example, resembled his


    mother, which was why she did not like him very much.


    Over the years, she tried her best to n more for her son, and with the support of the Riggs family in


    the future, she could feel much more at ease.


    She took a sip of tea and then closed her eyes with the intention of napping. She then heard footsteps,


    so she peeked over. She was terrified by what she saw. Ralph was covered in dust and blood as if he


    had been beaten to the ground by someone.


    He walked in embarrassedly.


    “Oh my goodness!" With an exmation, Margaret stood so abruptly that the blood rushed to the top of

    her head. Her eyes darkened, and she almost fainted.


    Ms. Margaret!" The servant next to her reached out to support her.


    Ralph also took two quick steps and rushed forward to support her, saying, Mom, slow down!"


    Margaret took a deep breath and gave him a trembling look. She looked at him up close and took


    another deep breath, "What''s the matter with you? Did something happen?"


    “It''s nothing!" He looked down at his body. To say he looked disheveled would be an understatement.


    His clothes were ripped all over.


    He initially returned to shower and change clothes, but he did not expect his mother to be in the yard.


    He went to greet her but instead scared her.


    "Nothing? Who did this? Who dared to do something like this to you? Don''t they know that you’re a


    Russell? Are they seeking death?” Margaret was fuming and stabbed the ground with her crutches.


    Every time she said a sentence, the ground made a thud. "Who did this? Don''t let him go!”


    “I''m really fine. It’s just a little injury. Don''t be too angry." Ralph, trying to reassure her, attempted to


    brush the matter off.


    He had intended to enter the house right away to take a bath and change. Now that he was looking at


    Margaret, he thought of Heather''s words.


    He bent over to ask, "Mom, I want to ask you something.”


    "What? What''s more important than your injury? Tell me, who hurt you like this?" Margaret was so


    distressed.


    Ralph was her youngest son, and she gave birth to him when she was near menopause. Ralph was


    like a treasure to her, especially in her current situation. Her older sons had already passed away. She


    held onto his hand for fear of falling. She could not bear to hit or eveny a finger on him.


    When Hugo was still alive, he would beat Ralph because he was naughty, and Margaret would be so


    angry that she would not eat for days. Although Hugo had a hard temper, he could not just watch his


    wife starve. That was why he gave in and hardly bothered about Ralph''s affairs.


    However, because of that, Hugo would no longer beat Ralph and started to ignore him. He then


    gradually put his focus on Alexander.


    Alexander was very simr to him when he was young and had the closest resemnce to Hugo


    he had already decided for Alexander to inherit the family business.


    Ralph''s body was covered with physical injuries, but Margaret''s heart carried the emotional wounds.


    “Tell me. Who did this to you?"
