Chapter 1091
"I don''t think I need to see it." Margaret''s voice was surprisingly calm. Don’t you already have an
answer in your heart?"
She never expected her son to be capable of ruining someone''s life.
When Ralph first raised his doubts, Margaret also became skeptical and agreed they should do a DNA
test because the results would always be urate.
If Alexander were not biologically a Russell, it would prove his mother had an affair, and Margaret
would not allow an illegitimate child to inherit the family''s wealth and business. However, everything
had changed.
Ralph said that regardless of whether Alexander was rted to them by blood, they needed to me
him and gain power over the family.
‘Mom, just give me the green light. It''s our best chance,’ Ralph begged softly.
Margaret would always soften her heart and grant any of his requests whenever he ced himself in a
lower position and pleaded like a child.
It was just like when she had helped him the other time. She had promised to assist him and lure
Alexander and Lily to leave home. That was why Ralph believed his mother would help him with
anything as long as he begged her a little.
Margaret sighed deeply and said, "Do you remember that Alex is your nephew and that you''re his
uncle? We''re family if he''s rted to us by blood."
Mom, why are you being so soft-hearted at this crucial moment? Have you forgotten how he treated
you or how he kicked out our family members from thepany one by one? Have you forgotten how
Celine and I had to grovel at his feet and attend to his every request?
‘What''s the point of remembering that I''m his uncle? What was in his head when he did those things to
us?" Ralph expressed indignantly.
His dissatisfaction had umted over the years. Alexander rejected all of Ralph''s proposed projects
but would smoothly carry out the ones others proposed. He felt Alexander regarded him as trash and
did not trust him because Alexander would always quickly demote the people Ralph promoted.
It was crystal clear that Alexander wanted to make things difficult for Ralph, even criticizing him publicly
whenever Ralph thought of making some extra cash for himself through thepany’s businesses.
"Did he have to do that? Everything belongs to our family, and it wasn''t like the things I did were for the
benefit of others. He didn''t care for my image, so why would I show mercy to him now?"

"Ralph..."
"Mom, I can''t exin things well to you over the phone. Let''s talk when I''m at your ce. I''ll head over
right now."
Ralph realized his mother was acting strange today. In the past, she would listen to everything he said.
Hence, he wanted to return home and exin things to her.
"Ralph!" Margaret wanted to say something else, but he had already hung up.
Staring at the phone, she breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt extremely tired. Back then, Margaret would
always say she was old, but from the bottom of her heart, she had never felt her age as much as she
did now.
Hugo had been good to her all these years and had taken good care of her. He even pampered her
throughout their marriage.
Although she had given birth to a few children, she had never suffered much. Losing her few sons was
probably the most intense pain in her life.
She had taken good care of her appearance, which made her look much younger than her peers, but at
this moment, she deeply felt her age. She was exhausted as she turned her head and looked into the
mirror.
She realized that she could not hide the wrinkles on her cheeks and silver hairs on her head, no matter
how well she had taken care of herself. ''Was I wrong?’
Margaret opened the door, revealing Celine standing outside with a conflicted expression.
"Mom."
"Did you hear everything?” Margaret asked as she stared at Celine.
‘Nope, I just heard some movements. Were you on the phone?" Celine probed. She also had mixed
feelings.
Margaret nodded and said, "Celine, tell me. What should I do?"
