His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1128

Alexander could not deny the results because Ralph had told everyone to vote anonymously. Ironically, Alexander’s uncle was the one trying to overthrow him.

He continued to remain silent, looking calm and collected, as always. No matter the adversaries, he would always face them head-on without faltering.

Lily did not care whether or not her husband was from the Russell family. She only cared about him as a person, not his bloodline or family background. After all, the man Lily loved and trusted wholeheartedly was Alexander.

She looked at him with steadfast eyes as she smiled while stroking her baby bump gently.

The first round of voting ended shortly, and Ralph announced, “To ensure the voting session is fair, both Alexander and I will stay out of it. This will be everyone’s opinion and not dominated by a single person.”

“Okay,” Alexander readily agreed.

Ralph turned to one of the housekeepers and instructed, “Go and get Mrs. Russell.”

“As this is an important matter, we’ll need Mrs. Russell to be here. She was resting as she wasn’t feeling very well. Still, we should wait for her to be here while counting the votes!” Ralph exclaimed as he instructed the housekeepers to count the votes while the others waited.

Most in the room already knew what would most likely happen. Some were relaxed and were only present to enjoy the show, while others were panic-stricken as they did not know what to expect.

If the result were against Alexander, there would be a considerable change to the power balance in the family.

If the head of the Russell family were not blood-related, it would be a massive scandal as it would affect the family's reputation and Alexander’s right to inherit the family business.

How could they allow something like this to happen? Most were afraid this would bring a negative impact on the family. Some votes agreed to confiscate the outsider’s rights, while the rest were against it. The total for each side was extremely close.

Nonetheless, Ralph was not worried. It did not matter whether or not the others agreed. He decided that Alexander was not part of the Russell family. Even if the others agreed not to strip Alexander of his power, he would still lose his position as the family patriarch and director of the Russell family’s business empire.

When that happened, Ralph would be the next in line to inherit everything.

He glanced at the people counting the votes and then toward the living room. His mother was still nowhere around, so he thought she must feel conflicted and upset.

Ultimately, Margaret was too kind. Even though she had always sided with Ralph, Alexander was still her grandson. It must be tough for her to come out and expose Alexander.

Ralph shifted his gaze toward Heather with a smug expression as if telling her to witness how capable he was. Even without the Riggs family's help, he could take down Alexander. He would soon lead the Russell family.

In comparison, the Riggs family’s wealth was nothing. However, he was surprised that Heather did not look at him mockingly. Instead, she was slightly…excited?
