Chapter 1021
His threatening aura was so overpowering that it frightened the others, causing them to freeze on the
spot.
Not long after he left, Margaret returned to her senses and howled, "Where have I gone wrong?!"
"Mom, don't cry! He's just an ungrateful child, and you know that.He doesn’t even look like a Russell!
He's always been so distant from us! "I've said since the beginning that this family could not be handed
over to him, but Dad wouldn't listen! Look at him now! He doesn't even care about you!"
Every single word Ralph uttered struck Margaret's heart like an arrow.She hated it, but there was
nothing she could do.
When Hugo was still alive, they argued about this many times.She wanted to entrust the family to their
youngest son.
There was no reason for Hugo to skip his son and give it directly to their grandson.
However, Hugo was stubborn.
After all, he was the head of the household.
Once he had decided that Alexander would take over, he kept his promise until his deathbed, and then
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexander was put in charge of the Russell family.
Margaret thought at first that Alexander would still be cautious of her because she was his
grandmother, and that this would make him nervous.
However, Alexander was hard -headed.He did not care about what other people thought of him.He
would only be slightly more scrupulous and polite to her when Hugo was mentioned.
Now, even Hugo's name could not threaten Alexander.He even said that he would not hold back! Could
it be that he might drive her out of the Russell family? Thinking of this, Margaret trembled with anger.
Celine finally stepped in and softly said, "I actually agree with what Ralph said."
"Huh?"
For a moment, Ralph had forgotten about what he had just blurted out.
"That he doesn't look like one of us."
She paused, then walked over to Margaret's side, whispering, "To be honest, I used to think that he
wasn't our biological nephew when he was younger.I can't say he doesn't look like Patrick, but he's not
exactly a replica of him, either.
"As for his temperament, they're on opposite ends of the spectrum! Patrick is such a generous
person.He has always been docile and honest.Alexander is nothing like him at all!"
Celine's words caused the gears in Margaret's mind to turn as she bowed her head in thought.
"It's all because of his wretched mother!"
Ralph spat bitterly.
"Patrick played a role in this, as well! He wouldn't listen to you and insisted on marrying that woman.He
brought a scourge into our family.Look at how harmonious our family used to be and what we've
become over the years! Who knows, maybe that woman killed Nigel and Tyson as well!"
As soon as this was mentioned, Margaret's face darkened, and she scolded in a low voice, "Don't talk
nonsense!"
Despite what her mouth was saying, doubts began forming in her eyes.
She had actually thought about this before.
The deaths of her grandsons constantly lingered in her mind.
She was heartbroken, and all she could do was pour all her love into her youngest son.She had
thought that their deaths were suspicious, but because when Hugo was still alive, he insisted that there
was nothing suspicious after investigating the matter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was all accidental.
Even though she did not believe him, she did not dare rebuke her husband.
Therefore, she quietly watched the old man getting haggard, day by day.
The past had been brought up again, making her feel choked up and overwhelmed.
"Even if she wasn't the one who killed them, nothing good has happened to our family since that
woman came.
Now, it seems like Alex has secrets to hide.
After so many years, none of us knew he could kickbox so well! Who knew what Dad had fed him and if
Dad had given him anything else?"
Celine had said all this softly and unhurriedly, but everything she said was starting to make sense.
Margaret hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't think so! Although your father favors him, he
has never hidden anything from me, which is something I’m grateful for."
"I suppose you can say that, but did you know that Alex knows kickboxing? He even managed to hurt
Heather, who had defeated countless elite kickboxers.Who did he learn kickboxing from? Has Dad ever
told you?"
