"What did Mom say?" Celine sipped the soy milk and continued asking.
"What else would she say? You should know that mom has lovedmore than Alex since | was a child. I'm her biological son! She would surely side with me." Ralph was confident about this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMargaret's doting made him feel that the Russell family belonged to him. Even if he did not inherit all of it, he should inherit its majority. Still, he never expected his father to give the family business to Alexander.
Meanwhile, Ralph only received a small amount of equity. Ralph never received much of the family’s other businesses, real estate, and stores. These were only the tip of the iceberg compared to the Russell family’s vast wealth. He felt resentful at the thought of his father.
Celine finished her soy milk, wiped the corner of her mouth, and put down the cup before she calmly replied to him, "I see. Thank you for breakfast." "So, we agree on this, Celine? You must helpwhen the tcomes. Don't forget that we're biological siblings in the sboat!" Ralph pondered and made another promise, "I will not forget you when | take control of the family! Rest assured, I'll give you more than what Alex does." Celine remained calm and nodded. “That's right. Only members of the Russell family should inherit the family’s assets. There's nothing wrong with that. | will side with Mom and agree to whatever she says." Her words were like a guarantee to Ralph. He felt assured and satisfied. "You're right. Only members of the Russell family should inherit the family’s assets. It'll be our glory from today onward." Celine smiled meaningfully but remained noncommittal.
Ralph felt relieved after instructing his mother and sister while he lit a cigarette and looked out the balcony. Russell Estate was an old building but had gone through renovations several times. It covered an extensive area, and everything around it belonged to the Russell family.
Hugo did not appoint the Russell Estate to anyone in his will, but Alexander let Ralph have it. Ralph could not care less about the old estate because he knew it could not compare to everything else the Russells owned Alexander took so much and only gave him this pitiful house and sallowance. Ralph felt that his nephew treated him like a beggar and gave him charity. Not only did Ralph want to reclaim what he thought he owned, but he also wanted to take everything from Alexander.
He held the cigarette between his fingers as he squinted, looking forward to seeing the expected cars drive in one after another.

Suddenly, Ralph thought of Heather, who stood up to him.
She had agreed to meet him at her company that day. He could tell she was wavering, but she still ran away. He did not expect long-term cooperation with someone like her who had a psychological problem. However, it would undoubtedly be of great help if he could gain her support.
‘What a pity.” His phone rang right at this moment. He looked at it and could not help feeling surprised when he saw Heather's number.
‘Didn’t she block me?” He felt suspicious but subconsciously pressed the answer button. "Ms. Riggs." "Isn't there a family meeting today? Has it started?" Heather went straight to the point.
He grinned and said, "Not yet. Are you interested in coming? It would be a shif you missed it."
