His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1129

Moments later, the housekeepers finished counting the votes. Interestingly, both for and against were close, but ultimately, votes for the outsider to leave were slightly higher than those who voted for things to remain unchanged.

Of course, some family members were dissatisfied with Alexander’s reign. After all, it was difficult to satisfy everyone as the head of the family. So, the unsatisfied family members used this opportunity to vote against him.

The result had only a two-vote difference, and Ralph revealed a smug expression when he saw the results. “So, most of our family members have agreed to honor our family’s tradition that the Russell family’s pure bloodline is most important.

“Those who aren’t part of the Russell family should not be allowed to stay and continue enjoying the privileges that come with being a Russell.” He raised his hand, which was holding onto the votes victoriously.

Ralph was about to obtain what he had always dreamed of. He could imagine Alexander kneeling and crying before him, unable to accept reality. As he thought about the once powerful and terrifying Alexander bowing to him, he could not help but want to laugh.

However, Alexander just stood at the side and remained silent.

“Okay, since the results are out, can you announce who that person is?” Someone from the crowd asked impatiently.

Ralph smiled as he stared at Alexander and lifted his index finger. “That person is—”

“Wait!” Margaret shouted as she walked toward the hall with Celine helping her. Margaret looked like she was in a rush as her footsteps were in haste, but due to her age, it looked like she was about to stumble with every step.

When Ralph saw his mother, he immediately went forward to help her. “Take your time, Mom. You don’t have to rush. I know your heart is aching, but you must be careful.”

‘It looks like there’s no turning back since Ralph is determined to do this.’

“We should just drop this issue,” Margaret said while holding Ralph’s hand. “I agree with what Alex said. Bloodline is not that important. Maybe there was a reason behind this, and since the outsider grew up in the Russell family, he’s one of us. We should leave it at that.”

Ralph was stunned as he looked at his mother wide-eyed. He did not expect his mother to change her mind at this crucial moment.

“Mom, how could you say that? A family’s bloodline is essential. Look at the monarchy, for example. They had always passed down their thrones to the rightful heirs based on bloodline.

“Even though our family is no monarchy, we can’t give our massive family business and wealth to an outsider. I disagree with your opinion. Yes, we can continue to treat him as one of us, but he mustn’t have any power in the family!”

Ralph refused to allow his mother to speak anymore, so he continued, “Besides, the voting session has ended, and this is the family’s decision, not mine alone. Even if you disagree, the votes against him are still the majority.”

“You…” Margaret looked at her son with a pained expression. She did not expect him to be so stubborn and unforgiving.

“I know this decision pains you since you value your relationships, but we can’t let our emotions drive us. We must consider the bigger picture and what’s most beneficial to the family. Please be sensible!” Ralph said.

Then he took the opportunity to whisper to his mother, “Didn’t we already agree to do this?”
