Alexander had not maintained his position in the Russell family for so many years solely to Hugo's help.

Having heard what he said, Lily thought about something. “There was something fishy about your second and third uncles’ deaths.” Both were young when one fell off the cliff and the other drowned. The youngest uncle died after birth, while Alex's father had always been sickly. If it was a single case, it might simply be bad luck, but everything seemed too coincidental that a family would suffer so much.

“It's fishy, all right.” Alexander nodded as traces of ruthlessness showed in his eyes. “How could so many bad things happen to us? Having a long history, the Russells have a huge influence and might have been targeted by those who envy us or by our enemies.” Probably thinking of something, he did not finish what he was going to say and simply grew solemn.

Lily pitied her husband and palmed his cheeks. “It hasn't been easy for you, has it?” Besides getting through various internal struggles, the Russell family's descendants might also get hunted down or assassinated by their enemies. Lily could not imagine what her husband had gone through since he becthe heir in his teen years.

“Easy or not, it was the past.” He revealed a slight smile as if what he experienced were nothing.

However, despite his casual reply, Lily knew he must have faced many assassinations and set-ups, which was why he always slept lightly and could handle any situation.

‘He wasn’t born with such capabilities. He simply had to grow and becstronger through each crisis.’ Alexander felt awkward seeing Lily's sympathetic look and softened his gaze as he said warmly, “Hey, I'm not as pitiful as you might think. Stop imagining things!” “] don’t think you're pitiful. | just think it hadn't been easy for grandpa.” Since Alexander did not want to talk about it, Lily casually changed the subject.

Alexander was confused.

“It must have been hard for him to keep the secret while taking the burden of nurturing you.” Feeling a mix of emotions, Lily meant what she said.

As a father, Hugo also suffered from the loss of his sons. However, he could not allow himself to wallow in sadness as he had to comfort his wife and take on the burden of caring for the family and nurturing the next generation.

Due to what had happened, he had been much stricter with Alexander. Since Alexander was young, Hugo taught his grandson about managing the family business and kickboxing. He even arranged all types of assassinations so that Alexander could get used to such a life.

Of course, Hugo felt sorry for Alexander. However, he had no choice because that was the fate of a Russell family descendant.

Probably because Hugo had raised Alexander as the heir and the family had strengthened its security by arranging many bodyguards, not to mention Margaret was constantly around to make sure he was okay, Ralph was able to grow up without going through hardships.

The man enjoyed the family's wealth without realizing the sacrifices they made to obtain it. It was hard to say whether he was fortunate or not.

“lt wasn't easy for grandpa.” Nodding, Alexander let out a soft sigh. “That's why | can’t be too mean to grandma.” He had tried to tolerate Margaret on trivial matters, but what Margaret did shocked and moved him.

“Yes, | understand.” Lily would soon be a mother and knew better than ever how a parent would feel. “We must take good care of grandma from now on.”
