Even if this matter was out of control, Alexander was not a Russell, and Ralph intended to remove him from the family tree. If so, Ralph would be successful with or without the family’s support, and he would have nothing to fear.
What Lily found interesting was “Heather's” reaction.
She and Alexander had already noticed Heather’s two different temperaments. One was steady and calm, while the other was weak and docile. Now “Heather” was like the second one, sitting there quietly.
When “Heather” entered the courtyard previously, Lily could not feel the aura a kickboxer should have, nor did “Heather” have the imposing manner of a family matriarch. It was all too strange.
‘She must be hiding some shocking secrets from everyone.’
As the atmosphere deadlocked, Ralph winked at Celine anxiously. They had agreed, but Margaret suddenly changed her mind, and Ralph did not want Celine to do the same. She must try harder to let Margaret announce the truth.
Celine said softly after looking at Ralph, "Mom, everyone wants to know the truth, even if you don’t want to talk about it. Ralph is determined to announce it and will continue until there's a result. You might as well speak the truth, so everyone can understand this better."
As Alexander's aunt and Ralph's sister, Celine's words still influenced the situation, not to mention what she said was correct. As Ralph insisted that Alexander was not a Russell, if Margaret wanted to end it vaguely, it would provoke criticism.
When Alexander oversaw the Russell family in the future, some would have grudges against him.
"Sigh..." Margaret heaved a long sigh as she raised her head and looked out the window. It was a clear day today with the scorching sun in the sky. The bright sun made it hard for Margaret to open her eyes as tears flowed.
No one could bear seeing Margaret like this.
"Mom..."
"Ralph, everything that happened today is because of your actions!" As Margaret sighed, she turned and asked someone to bring over a document.
Ralph became excited when he saw the document. Finally, the most critical moment was approaching.
Although Margaret's words were strange, nothing mattered anymore. Alexander would have no chance to quibble if she showed everyone the DNA report Ralph had prepared.
If Margaret softened up and did not swap the report, she could say Ralph had slandered Alexander. However, Ralph could accuse the lab of making a mistake or say he did not know which of the two copies was real. Then he could do another DNA test and escape defamation.
No matter what, it would not do him much harm. If he tried hard today, it could change his life completely.
"This is a DNA test report," Margaret revealed a stack of papers and held it. "Se did a DNA test a few days ago, and these are the results. I initially thought this was a private family matter and didn't want to discuss it. But since everyone here is a Russell and Ralph insists on justifying this issue, we should discuss it!"
