His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1097

“Don’t you believe me, Mom? I've already told Heather about it. She said she would help me. Did you forget that Alex had hurt her as well? Once I become the family patriarch, Heather and I will continue being in a cooperative relationship. It’ll have long-term benefits for our family’s growth.

“Alex, on the other hand, has offended the Riggs. With him in charge, who knows what dangers will arise in the future.” He paused for a moment before continuing, "Whatever the case, this is all for our family’s good. Can’t you just agree to help me?"

Margaret stayed silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Are you honestly doing this for our family and not yourself?"

Ralph was taken aback by her question. His mother had never questioned him like this. After all, it was no different whether it was for the family or himself.

After getting over his initial shock, he immediately retorted, "Of course, it's for the family and me! Mom, you're acting like I'm not a part of the family. Of course, I'd put our family first. I'm not Alex. I'll help our family flourish!"

"Alex is a part of the family as well. He’s my grandson. No matter how much I dislike his mother, I can't change the fact that he's the grandson of this family," Margaret said earnestly.

Her words made Ralph a little flustered. He felt that his mother was being weird and different today.

In the past, she would always jump to his aid. Yet now, it seemed like she was talking for Alexander. Could he have brainwashed her? Maybe the DNA test had changed her mind.

Thinking about this, he immediately stepped up and said, "How is that the same? You said it yourself that he’s the child of a woman you don't like, and his personality is just like that mother of his who had never seen the outside world.

“He's just like his mother. All he cares about is himself. He doesn't even respect his elders, but I'm not like him, Mom. I'm your son. How can I not think about you and the family? Mom, did Alexander say something to you? Why did you say such a thing?
