Ch. 931..940

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 931

What a liar!

How could she have slept so deeply that she was unaware he carried her into the hospital? "I didn't expect to get sick so easily. I rarely get sick, and I didn’t expect my health to be this bad!"

When she moved herself a little, she felt that her body was still weak.

The IV was still hanging, making moving even more inconvenient.

"Is this for fever?"

She looked up at the hanging bottle above, and there were several small bottles.

"No, this is a nutrient solution, and you’ re not allowed to take any medicine now."

After pouring a glass of water, Alexander handed it to her.

He even thoughtfully put a straw in her drink so she could drink it more easily.

Lily frowned and did not understand what he said, "What do you mean I’m not allowed to take medicine? Am I allergic to something?"

Since she was young, she had been sick only a handful of times, and it was even rarer to be hospitalized with infections, but she had never had any allergies.

Alexander shook his head and said, "No, it's because of your special situation right now that you can't take any medicine.In addition, the doctor said that you’re malnourished, so you should supplement your nutrition first.You must wait until you’re a little better and maintain your health."

"What do you mean? You're saying that I'm exhausted, so that’s why I can't take any medication?"

Seeing the bewildered look on her face, Alexander smiled slightly.He took the cup from her after she had finished and set it aside before taking a tissue to wipe her mouth.

No matter what he did, he did not say anything.He just looked at her and smiled.

It was obvious that he was thrilled.

His teeth were showing when he smiled.

Lily was still confused, "What are you smiling at? It’s giving me goosebumps!"

"Have you been feeling weak and wanting to sleep a lot? Have you been moody recently and easily irritable?"

Lily still could not understand the deep meaning of his mindless questions, so she nodded and replied, "It seems like it.How do you know? Have you been observing me?"

"No, the doctor mentioned it.He explained that these are normal symptoms of pregnant women in the early stages, and that they will improve gradually."

Lily nodded and replied, "Oh."

However, she suddenly realized that something was wrong and said, "Wait a minute.What are you talking about? I'm pregnant?"

Was that what she heard? Was that what he said? Lily is pregnant? Guessing what she was thinking, Alexander nodded and said, "Yes! You're pregnant, Lily! We're going to have a baby, and you're going to be a mother!"

Alexander's emotions had most likely been adjusted, but he still could not hold back his excitement.His expression was simply out of control.He grinned broadly, his eyes wide open.He did not need to say anything at all as it was very obvious that he was extremely happy at that moment.

Lily, on the other hand, felt a little more complicated.She was uncertain as to whether or not she was happy.She looked down at her lower abdomen and touched it.

The feeling was indescribable.

Previously, when she thought she was pregnant, she was cautious, but it turned out to be a mistake.

Was this also a mistake like last time? "How do you know? Is that what the doctor said? Is it confirmed? Would it be the same as last time? Are you sure? Often, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

She did not want to experience such disappointment again, so she had better be sure.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 932

"It's true.The doctor already examined you.It's been almost two months, didn’t you know?"

The doctor mentioned that people who were pregnant for the first time might not be very sensitive.

In addition, they also had little knowledge about pregnancy and no personal experience, so it was normal for them not to notice.

Some people would not even find out that they were pregnant after several months.

However, the symptoms were quite evident at times.

After all, the lack of menstruation was already the most obvious prompt.

Since he mentioned it, Lily thought about it carefully, and it seemed that her period had not come for almost two months.

She had previously experienced some menstrual irregularity, and she was also very busy at work, so she neglected to pay attention.

"I thought it was a lot of work pressure, but I didn't expect..."

"You're a little confused!"

He raised his hand and poked her nose.He wanted to smack her butt, but he refrained due to her state.

She did not know she was pregnant and even refused to go to the hospital when she fell sick.

On top of that, she went to deal with Margaret and Celine by herself.

Did she think she was Superwoman? When the doctor took her temperature, she was shocked.It was almost 101 degrees, and she still hung on.

After realizing she was pregnant, she had to be more careful with the medication.

"By the way, I remember you saying you had already taken medicine at home.Do you remember what it was?"

He thought of what the doctor asked, but he was unsure, so he had to check with Lily.

"It's for the fever, the very common one," Lily replied.

"Which common one? What's the name? The doctor wants to see if it’ll have any effect."

He deliberately mentioned it a little vaguely.

However, Lily was very focused on certain words, "What effect? Will there be any side effects?"

Was that why she had to be on an IV instead of taking medicine? "Some medicines may have some side effects, so I need to check with you so that you can be prescribed the correct medicine!"

She guessed right, but Alexander did not want her to know too much.

In other words, he did not want her to overthink.

Having experienced the last pregnancy mistake, he knew very well that she was a person who loved children and would be a good mother.

However, if the child could not be kept because of the influence of medicine, it would be another big hit to her.

"I don't remember much."

"Hey, looks like you're up," the doctor said as he pushed open the door and entered the room.

He saw the two of them sitting together and conversing.

"Doctor, if the medicine I take is forbidden for pregnant women, will it affect the child? Will I have a miscarriage?" She asked very seriously.

Alexander was quiet.She so easily asked the question that he tried to avoid by all means, and he felt that it was stupid of him to cover up just now.

"Then, what medicine did you take?" the doctor asked.

Lily thought for a while and said the name of the drug, "I didn't pay attention to whether it was prohibited for pregnant women.I heard that there’s a difference between prohibited and cautious use.Does that mean it won’t necessarily affect my child?"

The doctor waved his hand and said, "This medicine is fine, but it can only temporarily reduce the fever.You’re weak now and have a little inflammation, so the fever is high.Let's take care of that first! Ww "That's good!"

She breathed a secret sigh of relief.She glanced over and saw Alexander relieved as well.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 933

It was a pleasant surprise and a godsend for them.

Before, Lily had worried that he did not like children and that he did not want children for the time being.

Now the concern was gone entirely.

Sure enough, having children depended on fate.

It would come when you least expected it.

"It looks like the wedding is going to be done quickly."

She shrugged, laid down, and had begun to feel a sense of motherhood.

Being pregnant required her to have more rest, and for the child's sake, she had to take good care of her body.

"Yes indeed, but you’re not allowed to intervene.If you have any ideas, write them down and let someone get them done.You’re not allowed to go! Understand?"

His domineering self was exceptionally handsome.Lily knew he was concerned about her, so she nodded and replied, "Okay!"

In the Imperial Lounge, Ralph held a bottle of wine in his hand.He frowned, looked at the woman sitting on the side silently, and muttered in his heart.

‘This had been going on for more than half a day.What exactly was she up to?’ According to rumors, Heather had a deep mind and a particularly ambitious heart.

His mother also said she had a bad temper and was fluctuating, but she did not have to be so unpredictable, right? They met politely and had a meal together.

Although it was not pleasant, it was at least passable.

She kept her head down and avoided making eye contact with him, let alone expressing her happiness.

He probably would have assumed that she had no interest in him if he had not been trying to marry her or if their union would conflict with her business and family interests.

However, thinking about the powerful family behind her, the support he desperately needed, and his mother's words, Ralph suppressed his temper and patiently accompanied her.

After eating, she went shopping, but did not buy anything.She shook her head every time he asked her something.

He was about to lose his temper.

Both of them were sitting in the private lounge room, not ordering anything or singing.

The snacks were already halfway finished.

He could not understand how some people could sit quietly and let time pass.

No matter what, at least give an explanation.

Even if she refused something, she could have explained it already, right? He felt that the rumors about Heather were utterly opposite of the truth.

After thinking for a while, he poured two red wine glasses, picked them up, and swirled them.

When Heather saw him coming toward her, she moved to the side, as if she wanted to get away from him.

Ralph stood there in silence.

Before going to the lounge, he dressed stylishly and looked very handsome.

Muttering inwardly, Ralph sat down next to her.

Heather was slightly uncomfortable, so she moved in a little further, almost leaning against the wall.

"Heather, don't go any further.I'm afraid you'll fall into the next room.I won't be able to explain what happened!" He said it half- jokingly, feeling that he had a good sense of humor.

However, she did not seem to understand his joke and looked at him strangely, saying, "Huh?"

Although it is a very simple word, it is one of the few words she said to Ralph.

At least there was a response.

Ralph immediately said happily, "I mean, if you move again, you will go into the room next door.

How can I explain your wall penetration superpower? Haha..."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 934

After saying that, he laughed out loud.

However, Heather did not laugh at his joke.

She only looked at him with squinted eyes and was puzzled by what he said, "I didn't go into the next room.There’s a wall, and I can't get past it."

Ralph was silent and thought "Which cave did she crawl out from?’ He heard that the Riggs family lived on an island and had been out of touch with society for many years.

Was that the reason she had no sense of humor? He silently cursed but could not show it, so he followed along and replied, "Yes, you're right.There’s no way you can get into the next room.I'm stupid and just talking nonsense."

Looking at his appearance, Heather whispered, "You're not stupid."

These words were not loud, but they fell into Ralph's ears, and he was immediately delighted, Heather, what impression do you have of me? What do you think of me?"

She pursed her lips and then bit her lower lip lightly without replying.

Ralph wasn't sure if she was pondering or if she didn't want to respond.

Staring at that little face, Ralph was a little sunk in.

Although Heather's temperament was a bit boring, she looked a little weird, and her brain did not seem very flexible, she was still beautiful! Her face was cherubic and looked lovely.

Ralph felt that temper and character were less important and it did not matter if she was boring.

It was acceptable for him to put up with it because of her face and also, her wealth and power.

The most urgent task at the moment was establishing and cultivating a relationship.

He had been flirting with her for so long, and she seemed to be neither salty nor indifferent.

Was she waiting for him to make a move?

"Do you want to have a drink? You didn't object earlier when I asked.What would you like? I can order for you!"

Saying that, he held up his wine glass and then put one hand on the menu.

"What would you like to order?"

Still biting her lower lip, she shook her head, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Why don't we have a cocktail? How about a dry martini?" he asked again.

Heather clenched the glass tightly, her cheeks flushed, but she nodded, looking well-behaved.

Ralph's heart felt as if it had been smacked hard.He swallowed and ordered the drink as melodious music started playing in the background.He took the glass from her hand, handed over a microphone, and shook the red wine glass towards her.

"Drink a little first, moisten your throat, and enjoy the music."

After he finished speaking, he took a sip.

Looking at his actions, Heather frowned and then looked at the red wine in the glass.Her eyes looked a little tangled.

Ralph did not know what she was struggling with, but the music played, and he sang, "Clearly understand my heart, long for a true feeling..."

He deliberately turned to face her when singing, showing his affectionate eyes.

Heather did not drink and did not sing along, so she had one hand on each side.

When Ralph faced her, she stared at him.

She always seemed to have confused eyes that dodged more than others.

Ralph could not understand at all.

Could it be that Heather was purposely disguising something?

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 935

After singing the whole song himself, Ralph turned his head to look over and saw that Heather was still sitting there without saying a word.

He finally could not hold back and approached her, "Heather, do you have any opinion on me?"

She blinked and shook her head.

Seeing that she did not refuse, Ralph moved a little closer in her direction, "Since there’s no objection, that means you’re satisfied, so can we officially decide on the marriage?"

Although the Russell family had already made a lot of preparations for this marriage, the Riggs family's attitude was elusive, so they had to hurry up.

After all, many others wanted to climb up to a marriage like the Riggs family.

Initially, the strength of the Russell family did not need to be won over, but Alexander had full control.

Although Ralph was the uncle, he had no real power, so there was only so much he could get in his hands.

In contrast, the Riggs family, of course, was not so attractive to him.

The good thing was that, no matter what, he was still backed up by the Russells.

He may be able to make a comeback one day, and that was probably what the Riggs family would want.

"Heather,"

Calling her name softly, Ralph reached out and tentatively took her shoulders, wanting to make further contact.He wanted to be more intimate with her and not worry about anything else.

However, as soon as his fingers touched her shoulder, she jumped up as if she was electrocuted, and the wine in her hand spilled onto his legs.

"I'm sorry!" she said hurriedly but at a loss.

Her reaction was big.

Ralph was startled and even folded his arms in a defensive posture.

Everyone knew that the Riggs family was known for its kickboxing skills, and Heather was the successor.

No one knew how professional she could be, and even Ralph himself was a little afraid of it.

After all, whoever fought a match against them was no opponent.

It was still very risky to marry someone like her.

Let's say, even if he was a thief, he never dared to move too much for fear that he would be beaten and thrown out if he was not careful.

After getting along for a while, he took advantage of the wine and the environment to hug her tentatively.He did not expect her reaction.His instinctive conditioned reflex was to protect himself.

Unexpectedly, Heather jumped up but did not beat him, even apologizing.

Ralph froze for a while, stunned.

"Would you like to wipe it?"

Heather asked in a low voice as he stared at him in a daze and pointed at his trousers stained with alcohol.

"No worries!"

He waved his hands quickly and continued, "I'll wash it when I go home."

After speaking, he tilted his head, looked at her expression, and asked, "You’re not angry, right?"

Heather shook her head.

She bent down, put down the empty glass, and took two steps back, "Ralph, it's getting late.I need to go home."

"Late? It's still early!"

Looking at the time, Ralph said, "It's only after nine o'clock.The night is still young.Let’s go catch a movie?"

She did not like the drinks, so a movie might have been a better idea.

If they watched a horror movie, she might take the initiative to dive into his arms if she was afraid.

That sounded like a good idea.

Heather shook her head and replied, "No, it's too late.I have to go home!"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 936

Heather turned around and walked toward the door after finishing what she had intended to say.

Noticing that she had made up her mind, Ralph decided not to press the matter and just followed behind her all the way to the car park.

He called out to her, "Heather!"

He placed his hand on the car door and trapped her between his body and the car.He looked at her lovingly and said, "Do you have something against me?"

"No, no, I don’t,"

Heather shook her head and looked slightly flustered.

Ralph saw her expression and could hardly believe his eyes.

The eldest daughter of the Riggs family was known to be fierce and unwavering.

There was widespread recognition of her and her henchmen, the Light-Shadow killers.

How was it possible that such a scary person could reveal such an innocent expression? However, as Ralph thought about it, just because she was scary in some ways did not mean that she was experienced in relationships.

It's possible that she had not spent much time being involved in relationships because she was so outstanding at running the family business.

This would explain why she was so nervous.

This innocent girl may very well be flustered when faced with such a charming man like himself.

Otherwise, how else could he explain her reaction? Just a while ago, after causing such a colossal ruckus, she still did not choose to beat him up.

This could only mean that she had fallen deeply in love with him.She was just a shy little thing! Ralph’s ego was immediately inflated after he came to that conclusion.

He was swelling with confidence and combed his hair back in a manner that he thought was charming.

"If you have nothing against me, does this mean that you’re...very happy with me?"

"N-No," She swallowed nervously

Heather had a fair and cute face.

Even though she was not the most beautiful woman he had seen, something about her attracted him.

"Heather, I really like you! No, I love you.You might not believe me, but the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you.Even if you weren't from the Riggs family, I would’ve also fallen in love with you.This has nothing to do with your power or family background.I’m saying this because I want to ask if you like me too?"

He looked at her with adoring eyes.

Heather stared at him with doe-like eyes, simultaneously looking innocent and slightly surprised.She was tense, as she protectively placed her arms in front of her chest and balled up both her hands into fists.

"C-Could you stand further away?"

She asked softly, "I can’t breathe."

"You can't breathe?"

Ralph raised an eyebrow and smirked, then lowered his lips onto her soft ones.

Heather was taken aback.

She stood there as stiff as a log, unresponsive.

However, she did not push him away.

She just stood very still, allowing him to deepen the kiss.She could almost taste the wine on his lips, which was a strange sensation.

Ralph, on the other hand, was intoxicated.

He was confident that she did not reject him because she was in love with him.

He could not help but notice that her lips were soft and sweet, like honey.

She was so different from the other women he had shared a kiss with, and he did not taste any lipstick on her.

Instead, he wanted more, as he tried to deepen the kiss by trying to pry her lips open with his tongue...

He was like a man in the desert who found a well after wandering around for a long time and wanted more.

Smack! Ralph felt a slap on his cheek, and he was pushed back by Heather.

Then she turned around and ran.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 937

Ralph was surprised by her slap and stumbled backwards from her shove.He stood there instead of chasing after her as she dashed into the car and it drove off.He had a sly smile on his face as he touched his cheek.

It did not hurt at all, as Heather did not put much strength into it.

‘Was this her way of warning him, or was she just shy?’ Ralph pondered.

With her abilities, if she had intended to seriously harm him, he would already be on the ground.

Since she did not use her fighting skills on him, it could only mean that she was not exactly mad.

However, he was also sure that the kiss they shared a moment ago was definitely Heather’s first kiss.

Ralph was excited to know that the famous eldest daughter of the Riggs family was still an innocent girl.

With her powerful background and capabilities but inexperience in relationships, Ralph was confident that he would be able to manipulate and control her even after they got married.

The whole Riggs family, including their wealth and martial arts skills, would eventually be in his grasp.

When that time came, he wanted to witness how Alexander would react.

Ralph would be able to obtain anything he desired.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he was.

This was getting increasingly interesting! Inside the car, Heather could not help but shiver.She did not expect that man to be so rude.

How could he...

When their lips touched, it felt strange.He even tried to put his tongue...

Heather's face was flushed red, she did not feel disgusted, but she was definitely feeling something.He had looked at her with such strange eyes today.He was so weird, but she was feeling weird as well.

"Are you done shivering?"

A cold voice sounded from her side.

She was slightly surprised and started shaking more.

There was another woman sitting behind her as the car lights came on.

This woman had the exact same face as Heather.

When they were placed side by side, it was difficult to tell them apart.

If one had to point out the difference between them, it would probably be the way they carried themselves.

They had a completely different vibe.

The woman who was seated behind gave off a cold feeling, and looked unapproachable.She had sharp eyes too, and even Heather did not dare look her in the eye.

Heather could only hug herself and sat at a corner quietly.

"You're a disgrace!"

She narrowed her eyes at Heather and said, "You’re embarrassing me while using my name!"

"I-I’m sorry...sister.Can I stop pretending to be you? I don’t want to use your name anymore, is that okay?"

Heather...

No, Hannah said.

Heather and Hannah were identical twins.

However, this information was not released to the public.It was a secret that the Riggs family had two daughters instead of one.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 938

Heather had inherited the family’s gift in martial arts.She had been trained since a young age and was good at it.

Hannah, on the other hand, had a frail body.She was also timid and unfit for learning the family’s skills.

Hannah's life was considered a failure because she was born into this kind of family.

Naturally, the Riggs family spent much less time nurturing her, and in fact, they did not really care much about Hannah.

Due to the fact that the Riggs family kept a very low profile, no one knew about the existence of twins in the family.

After the twins came of age, Hannah was neglected.She was always controlled by her sister, Heather, and because she was timid and weak, others in the family tend to forget that they had another daughter.

They only remembered and respected Heather.

Heather briefly examined Hannah before pausing to focus on her face.

She could not help but feel disgusted by Hannah's existence.

Looking at Hannah’s face, she could not understand why someone who looked so much like her could be so useless.

However, Hannah was helpful in that she assisted Heather in handling irksome issues, like this business marriage proposal.

Heather was shocked that such an insignificant Hyderland family would dare to make a marriage proposal to the Riggs family.

Moreover, the person they picked was a useless man from the Russell family who didn't have any real power.

Ralph was such a shameless fool.

Then again, he might be useful, as he was easy to manipulate, if she were to give him what he wanted.

Nevertheless, Heather would not be so silly as to use herself in exchange for such a minor advantage.

Instead, she decided to send Hannah to do her bidding.

Hannah should feel honored that she was able to be useful in Heather's plans.

"What did he say to you?" Heather asked.

When she looked at Hannah, who was still shivering and had her head down low, she could not help but feel annoyed.

"H-He said...he likes me," Hannah replied in a small voice, then she proceeded to shake her head and corrected herself.

"N-No, he said he likes you."

‘He claimed to like her because of her character rather than any external factors.However, he doesn’t even know that I’m not Heather.Who does he actually like? Heather or me?’ Hannah wondered, her head still hanging low.

‘It’s most likely Heather, since I’m nothing like her.I’m just a useless person"

Hannah sighed.

"Enough with the nonsense! I’m asking if he talked about anything regarding the marriage proposal."

Heather waved her hand dismissively.She did not want to hear about who he liked, that was just a waste of time.

"Yy-yYes, he said that he was very happy with me.He asked if I felt the same way, and he wanted to set a date for the wedding,"

Hannah quickly added.

"Ha, he’s quite eager, isn’t he?"

Heather mocked.

"Heather, the marriage...you won’t need me, right?" Hannah asked cautiously.

She was confused by her sister's plan.She didn't understand why Heather had asked her to pose as her and meet the guy, but she was accustomed to obeying her instructions.

Therefore, she would simply comply if Heather asked her to do so.

On a date, pretending to be Heather was still okay, but it was impossible in a marriage.

‘Heather wouldn’t ask me to get married on her behalf, right?’ Hannah pondered hesitantly.

"Stop your babbling! I haven’t decided yet.I’ll let you know then!"

Heather frowned at Hannah and continued, "If he asks you out, you will decline it.You’re not allowed to see him until I give you further instructions."

"Okay," Hannah nodded.

She was relieved that she did not have to meet him for now.She would only get flustered whenever she saw him.

"One more thing!"

Heather paused and looked at her with disgust.

"Wipe your lips!"

She saw what had happened and was disgusted with the fact that he had boldly kissed Hannah.

He should be thankful that it was not the real Heather, or else she would have broken his ribs before he could approach her.

Hannah was flustered again when she heard what Heather had said.She quickly wiped her lips with the back of her hands.Her face flushed red once again.

Heather looked at her and thought to herself, ‘Hmph! How unsightly!’

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 939

Back at the Russell family estate, Margaret still had not recovered.It had already been two days, but she was still in a foul mood.

"Mom," Celine came in with a bowl of porridge and sat by her bed.

"You should stop being angry.We knew from the start what the outcome would be and you know very well what Alex is like."

"Don't remind me about him!"

Margaret roared, and then she started coughing incessantly.

Celine quickly stroked her mother’s back and advised, "See, you should stop being angry as it only worsens your health.Besides, she’d only be happier if she knew you were sick.Alex is such a silly boy to be helping an outsider instead of his own family."

"That girl has a sharp tongue.I thought someone from the Lodge family would be taught how to act appropriately.I never expected her to be such a rowdy kid who doesn’t even know basic manners.I'm still his grandmother.How could she speak to me like that? Is this how Wilfred taught her?!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

How could they treat her like that when she was Alexander's grandmother? They even kicked her out of their house.

Alexander had even gone so far as to not allow them to step foot in his house anymore.

How was this something a grandchild would say to his grandmother? Why can't she go to her own grandson’s home? How dare that insolent child say something like this to her and embarrass her? Even though Margaret was the most senior person in the Russell family, Alexander had never talked about her in public, nor had he ever brought her to any social events.It was as if she did not exist.

Alexander was such an ungrateful kid, just like his mother.

"Mom, I’ve told you.That girl isn’t someone you can simply deal with, yet you didn’t listen to me and insisted on doing as you wish.Now, you’re throwing tantrums because of this."

She spooned some of the porridge from the bowl and tried to feed her mother.

"Please, just have some, or else your body will be too weak."

"I'm not hungry!"

Margaret pushed her daughter’s hand away unhappily.

"I heard that people would turn ugly if they starved themselves.My beautiful mother wouldn’t want to do that to herself, would she?"

Ralph's voice came from behind.He came into Margaret’s room after returning from the date.

Hearing his voice, Margaret’s face instantly lit up, and she smiled.

Then she narrowed her eyes at him and said, "Enough with your silliness.I’m already such an old lady, and my beauty has long past its prime!"

Even though that was what she said, she was still happy with that compliment.

No matter their age, women still loved to be told they were beautiful.

Ralph took the bowl of porridge from his sister’s hand and sat down next to Margaret, saying, "Let me look at my dear mother closely! Where’s the old lady? I only see a beautiful woman still throwing tantrums and refusing to eat!"

"You silly boy!"

She smacked him lightly and smiled before sitting upright.

"You always have such a way with words!"

"Of course I do! How else would I be able to make you happy?"

He smiled cheekily as he scooped some porridge out of the bowl, "Now, open your mouth wide! Ahhh!"

"Fine, fine.I don’t need you to feed me,"

Margaret took the bowl from his hand and started eating.She finished everything in an instant.

Celine, who was standing next to them, only smirked.

Margaret had always favored her youngest son.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 940

When Margaret had Ralph, her eldest son was already about to get married, so Ralph was only a few years older than Alexander.

Margaret had spent most of her time caring for and nurturing her youngest son, and she was unhappy with her eldest daughter-in- law, so naturally, she did not like her grandson either.She wanted to pass the family business on to her youngest son, but her husband disagreed.

Hugo had high hopes for his eldest, and his eldest did not disappoint him either.

Unfortunately, Patrick passed away at a young age, and Hugo had no choice but to nurture his grandson, Alexander, into taking over the family business.

To Hugo’s pleasant surprise, Alexander had proved to be an outstanding successor as he was excellent at handling the family businesses and relations.

When Hugo knew he would not make it, he made his will and appointed Alexander as his official successor to the Russell family’s wealth.

When the will was announced, there was a big internal feud between members of the Russell family.

Margaret took the lead in questioning whether the will was authentic, but for some reason, Alexander had managed to settle the commotion in the family, and everyone accepted the will.

Although a fierce conflict had broken out in the Russell family, the public did not know about it as it was a private matter.

The Russell family had taken precautions to conceal the situation and put pressure on the press not to report it.

Margaret was still upset that her son was not the successor.

Her life would be easier if he had been.

Ralph passed Margaret some tissues after noticing that she had finished her bowl.

After she cleaned herself, she turned to him and asked, "How was your meeting with Ms.Riggs?"

"Of course, it went well! It’s me, after all,"

Ralph replied confidently, "You can expect to have some grandchildren soon!"

Margaret narrowed her eyes at him and said, "I don’t need any more grandchildren! The important thing about this union is whether you’ll be able to gain the support of the Riggs family!"

The eldest daughter of the Riggs family was not the ideal daughter- in-law Margaret wanted for her precious son.She was too strong.

However, Margaret had no choice, as they needed the support and wealth of this prestigious family.

"Mom, don't worry.I’ve seen her in person, and she wasn’t like the rumors at all.She was like a shy, timid little lamb in front of me.I could assure you if I gave her orders, she would follow them obediently.After our marriage, everything that belongs to the Riggs family will be ours too.With their help, I’ll take back whatever that’s mine in the family, and I won’t allow Alex, that boy, to upset you anymore!"

"I will bring him to you and make him apologize personally!" Ralph said with confidence.He was already envisioning what the future would be like.

"Fine, fine, but that’s not important!"

Margaret waved her hand dismissively.She added, "I truly hope for you and your sister to be healthy and happy.Your brother was taken away from me at a very young age.As long as both of you are fine, I’ve nothing more to wish for."

"Mom!" Celine frowned.

"Please don't say that.There will be better days waiting for you!"

Ralph smiled, "The next time I meet Heather, we’ll decide on a date for the wedding.I want to get married as soon as possible."

"Right, let’s do that! Wasn’t that kid planning for his wedding as well? Let’s have ours before his and make it bigger!"

Margaret patted the back of Ralph’s hand and said sourly.She was so annoyed with Lily that she wanted to take it out on them.She did not understand how Lily could have such amazing luck.

The Perfumers’ Society, who had tried to teach her a lesson, had ended up being in trouble with the feds.

If she allowed Lily and Alexander to do as they pleased, Margaret was sure that her family would not be able to have the lives that they wanted.

She needed to take back the power of head of the household of the Russell family.
