Chapter 1146


    After some time, the cab driver woke Ralph up. They had traveled far and reached the suburbs. Not


    knowing the exact location of the apartment, Ralph noticed he was not in a bustling area.


    “Where are we?” He looked left and right, surprised.

    “Lucens Apartments, like you told me. Well, it’s too dark now, and there aren’t many streetlights


    because the infrastructure here isn’t that good. I bet you can recognize the ce during the day.” The


    driver said as he stopped the cab meter, “The fare is 30 bucks, thank you.”


    Ralph searched his pockets and found only a few bucks on him. The driver showed him a QR code.


    “You can scan to pay if you want to.”


    Ralph tried in vain to look for more money. “How about credit cards?”


    He had always used cash or credit cards and hardly ever made any payments using his phone as he


    did not need to worry about money. However, since he left the Russell Estate quickly, he realized he


    was short on cash.


    The driver gave him an "are you kidding me?" look.


    Ralph felt his pockets again and eventually removed his watch from his wrist. “Will you take the watch?


    It’s expensive, around 40 grand.”


    “40 grand?!” The driver took the watch and examined it suspiciously. He did not want to believe Ralph,


    but it waste, and Ralph did not seem to be able to pay. Not wanting to waste more time, the driver


    rubbed the watch’s face and said, “F*ck it. It’s just my unlucky day.”


    Bewildered, Ralph tried to exin, “It truly is worth that much…”


    ‘Would anyone pay a 30-dor fare with a 40-grand watch?’ The driver did not believe him. “All right, all


    right, whatever. Just get out!”


    “Don’t lose the watch. When I have cash, I’ll get it back from you.” Knowing that he would have a hard


    time ahead, Ralph could not afford to lose such an expensive watch and told the driver after he got out.


    The driver waved him off impatiently, closed the car window, and drove off. Throwing a nce at the


    watch, he tossed it into the door pocket and muttered, “Nutcase.”


    Ralph stood at the entrance to the residential area and looked at apartment buildings. The ce was


    new but a bit far from the city. He had never thought about buying a house as he had always lived on


    the Russell Estate and had expected to inherit it one day.


    Although the family had manymercial units and vis under their name, Ralph had never visited


    them before, and they were in the care of someone else. Now that he had left the Russell family, he


    imagined losing all of them.


    He did not think Alexander would let him keep them and was worried that he would be humiliated if he


    visited these ces now.


    "I tried to set him up without showing him any mercy, and now that he had the upper hand, he wouldn’t


    show me any kindness either."


    He did not even check his debit cards and whatnot, and he assumed Alexander had frozen them.


    He looked at the key in his hand and wondered if “Heather” was telling the truth, as she had always


    acted strangely. ‘Well, since I’m here, there’s no point getting scared without checking out the ce


    first.’


    Thinking so, he entered thepound. He found the apartment building, entered its elevator, and


    pressed the ninth-floor button.
