Alexander briefly wondered if his grandmother's being present was particularly significant. He then moved forward and turned to look at Lily. She lifted her hand from his and took a few steps back, but remained by his side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Good afternoon to all the elders here. Today, we're gathered here..." Alexander paused for a moment and turned to Ralph.
"Since you're the one who called us here today, do you have something to announce?" When Alexander asked him first, Ralph smiled smugly. "Of course, | have something important to announce. This is something important involving the Russell family's bloodline." Once everyone heard that it was something important, they immediately sat up. One of Ralph's uncles started to joke, "What is it? Bloodline? Ralph, are you planning to have a kid?" This caused everyone in the room to laugh.
Ralph was not upset by the joke. Instead, he looked at his uncle and said," Don’t worry, Uncle. I'll have a kid in the future.
Anyway, what I'm about to announce will affect our family's bloodline. This is an important issue, as our bloodline should be pure." Ralph raised his voice so that everyone in the hall could hear him.
Everyone stopped laughing as soon as they realized he was serious about this, and the atmosphere in the room changed instantly.
"Ralph, what is it?" Someone asked curiously, but Ralph did not answer him. He took a step back and looked at Alexander.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexander was always the one leading the family meetings and the one with the most power. However, this would change. Ralph would no longer be the one sitting down. Instead, he would take his place as the leader.
Alexander continued to hold his gaze. He looked like he was still unaware of what was about to happen. Ralph almost laughed when he saw Alexander's face.
‘Alex, you've been in charge for so long, yet you did not expect to fall into my hands, did you?’ Ralph thought smugly.
Ralph cleared his throat before continuing, "Alex, this issue will affect the Russell famil/s reputation. What if someone among us claims to be a Russell but isn’t? What should we do with this person?" Since Ralph had openly asked him this question, Alexander looked him in the eye and replied, "Even though our bloodline is important, this is the twenty-first century. I'm not sure who you're referring to, but if that person isn't of the Russell family bloodline, how would they becone of us? "What if that person purposefully kept it hidden, or if he isn't even aware of it?" Ralph continued to ask questions.
"Then, there are only two possibilities. If that person intentionally kept it a secret and tried to lie their way into the family, we should kick them out. However, if that person is unaware of their bloodline and is already integrated into the family, it won't change anything. Our bloodline is indeed important, but so is our relationship." Alexander clarified sensibly, "Our family is huge, so maybe that person had sreason to do this. As long as it doesn't harm our family, then it isn't an important issue." Ralph did not expect Alexander to say this. He thought Alexander would insist on kicking that person out of the family. Ralph had wanted to use this against him, but it had backfired.
Alexander was a sly fox, but Ralph would not allow him to have his way. He would force Alexander to take a stand on this Ralph smiled and stepped forward, saying, "That's not entirely true. Our family is rather conservative, right? I'm sure most of the elders here would agree. Would you be able to sit still if you found out your grandchild, whom you've loved for years, wasn't yours?"
