"It's you. It must be you!" Ralph looked at everyone with insane red eyes. “I'm afraid most of you have accepted Alex’s offer and conspired with him! Fine, you all came to see me as a laughingstock. I knew it. You are all here to frame me!"
"Stop deceiving yourself," Alexander said after being silent the whole time, "You can talk about others, but what about grandma? Look at her carefully. Others may betray you for profit, but would grandma?
"Everyone knows how grandma has favored you since you were a child, and you’re not the only one who knows this. Everyone understands that grandma has loved and spoiled you. How dare you say it was all fake. Do you think grandma would frame her beloved son for wealth and power?!"
Alexander added sharply, "You’re insulting her, Ralph!"
Ralph was numb as he abruptly stopped his yelling and looked at Margaret.
"Why?" He trembled, not knowing why things turned out like this. He seemed to be questioning his mother, himself, and everyone.
"W-What the hell is going on?" Someone asked lowly.
Everyone had read the DNA report and knew what was happening, but they wondered how Ralph was not Margaret’s son. It seemed he was not even a Russell, but why would Margaret be unable to recognize her son? After all, she had spoiled him for so many years.
However, no one could ask why, as Margaret was too sad. She trembled and cried for a while when her eyes suddenly rolled as she passed out from the stress.
"Margaret!"
"Ma'am!"
