His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 779

After a while, Lily moved and put her hand on his, holding it to give him some warmth. Alexander turned to look at her, shaking his head as he told her that he was fine.

“I know you’re fine. I just felt like holding your hand,” Lily chuckled.

He held her hand too, feeling his frustration subdued by a whole lot. His head was leaned against the headrest, and he stayed silent for a moment before starting, “Don’t worry. I won’t let them hurt you.”

“Them?” Lily thought for a while and realized who he was referring to. Nodding her head, she said, “I trust you.”

She understood little about the Russell family. To be more specific, outsiders and the media were unable to report on the Russell family's issues in detail. Something seemed to be shrouding the big family, and outsiders had no way to see what was happening on the inside.

What Lily knew was that Alexander was the fourth child among his siblings, which was why Brandon called him “Fourth Russell.” Although he was the fourth child, he was the only one left because all his elder brothers had died.

She was unclear about their exact cause of death, but Alexander was the only one who survived. Apparently, he had a weak body before this and had only gotten stronger after his family hired a genius doctor to treat him. Later, he inherited the family’s business and moved forward until today.

Even though Lily knew little about his family, she could tell that they were not a harmonious family, judging from how he treated his grandmother and aunt earlier.

When Wilfred was in charge of the Lodge family, their family was fairly harmonious, but there was still someone like Henry in the family, not to mention other wealthy families such as the Russell family.

Conflicts of interest were inevitable in wealthy families once their family business expanded. When their self-interest was at stake, they would engage in all manner of competition and dirty tricks. As a result, a person's heart was both the simplest and most difficult thing to comprehend.
