What he meant was that even if Alexander were born of the Russell bloodline, she would have to pretend he wasn't. This was like cannibalism!
"Don't worry about the DNA report. I've prepared it for you. All you have to do is just take it and read it!"
As he said this, he immediately took out the DNA report and handed it over to Margaret.
Once she had taken it, she opened the report and read through it a few times. It seemed like the one she had just read, but the report's conclusion had been altered.
She glanced at Ralph and said, "You've outdone yourself this time!"
"Mom, I had no choice!" He chuckled before continuing, "You know how hard it is to deal with Alexander. If I don't do this, I'm afraid I won't be able to get back what’s mine."
"Get back what's yours?" At this moment, Margaret suddenly felt an unknown rush of anger. "Those are all your father's things. Get that right! It’s everything that your father has worked for!"
As far as she was concerned, Alexander did indeed grow the business. Although she was biased, she was not blind. Margaret, who had always been soft with Ralph, suddenly burst into anger, which shocked him.
He quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, you're right. They're all Dad's things. As his son, there's nothing wrong with me inheriting them! Since Patrick is gone, it's only normal that it’ll be handed over to me. Once I die, Alexander will also get his share of the inheritance. However, I'm still alive and breathing right now!"
Thinking of this, he felt aggrieved. How could his father overlook him and give everything he had to his grandson? This was the reason behind the ridicule he had received from the outside world for years.
"You're fixated on doing this already, aren't you? There's no room for any discussion, am I right?" Margaret felt a heaviness in her chest as she struggled to keep that piece of paper in her grasp.
Taking a deep look at her, Ralph nodded resolutely without hesitation. "Mom! This is my last fight! I'm already 30. If I fail, there's no hope left for me in the future! This is my once-in-a-lifetime fighting chance. Can you… just help me with this?!"
As he spoke, he fell to his knees and bowed.
Margaret lowered her eyes and looked at her beloved son, whom she had loved for most of her life. She slowly closed her eyes and raised her head.
