Chapter 1125


    Ralph''sment convinced the elders, and most agreed. They nodded and said, ‘That''s true. Who


    would want to raise someone else''s child? Who would do that voluntarily?"


    "That''s right. If someone told me to raise someone else''s kid, I probably wouldn''t."


    "How can we ignore the importance of a pure bloodline? Does that mean someonemitted adultery


    in the family? Who is it?"


    Everyone around the room started discussing as this was a sensitive topic to them, instantly throwing


    the room into chaos.


    Everyone looked at each other usingly and wondered who Ralph was referring to.


    The elders thought the person had stayed in the family for a long time, even though they were not


    rted by blood.


    The Russell family was unlike ordinary families. They were a vast and influential family. Even those


    from the branch family benefited greatly from the family name. Endless wealth and power came with


    the family name, so why should someone who did not belong to the family enjoy these privileges?


    It was not a joking matter. Even though the elders were suspicious of each other, no one dared to


    use anyone of anything.


    As the others were having a heated discussion, Ralph looked at Alexander quietly while Alexander held


    his gaze in silence.

    Finally, someone asked, "So, who are you talking about? You can''t just leave us hanging here. Since


    you''ve started it, you have to exin to us."


    "Yeah. Isn''t that why you gathered us here? The Russell family''s bloodline is important, and you can''t


    leave it like this."


    Ralph turned to those who spoke up. It was the reaction Ralph had wanted, and he smiled in


    satisfaction as he turned back to Alexander. "Look at everyone''s reactions. How can you possibly say


    that bloodline isn''t important? Where did youe across such a ridiculous theory? If that person isn''t


    a Russell, why should they enjoy the privileges of being a Russell?"


    "Yes." Even though most agreed with Ralph, some were hesitant as they were still unaware of who he


    was referring to.


    "Is it more than the bond they had built with the family? More important than years of nurturing and


    affection?" Alexander questioned calmly, "If one were unaware of their true identity since birth, but the


    Russell family took them in and nurtured them, it''s not entirely their fault, is it? Isn''t it better not to tell


    that person the truth?"


    "I disagree. Maintaining the bloodline is something passed down by the family. How can we ignore it?


    We must remove anyone that isn''t from the Russell family. Otherwise, how can our ancestors rest in


    peace?" Ralph was determined not to leave any choice to Alexander since all he wanted was to


    destroy Alexander.


    He had entirely forgotten what Margaret had said to him-to give others a second chance. Even though


    he looked calm on the surface, greed had already blinded him.


    He had called for a family meeting to ensure Alexander would fall from grace. Ralph had not only


    nned to take him down but also did not want to give him any second chances.


    If Ralph could remove Alexander from the Russell family, Alexander could not do anything to him as


    Alexander would no longer have power or wealth. Ralph would not give Alexander any chances to take


    revenge on him.


    Some agreed with what Ralph had said, but others sided with Alexander.


    After all, if one did not know their true identity, it would not be their fault— instead, it would be their


    parents.


    "In my opinion, anyone who tries to mess up our bloodline should be held ountable. Since it''s not


    the outsider’s fault, the parents are at fault here." One of the elders said.
