Chapter 1187 It was already dark when Ralph returned to the Riggs Manor. Images of his mother getting pushed into the emergency room filled his mind. He had gone out for drinks to drown them out and was stumbling into the house, drunk.
As soon as he entered the door, Hannah was already waiting for him with a darkened expression. When she noticed he was drunk, she beceven more unhappy. "Why are you back so late? I've called you so many times. Why didn't you answer my calls?" | didn't hear it." He had been drinking at a bar. The loud music blocked out any sounds from his phone, and he did not bother to check it either.

She already had a rough idea of where he went. She was upset after hearing that he had dropped by the hospital today. Now that he was hlate and drunk, she was about to lose her mind.
Hannah was secretly delighted after the Russell family meeting the other day. In the past, she felt that Ralph was on a pedestal.
Although he liked her, there was still a gap between them. She was an orphan, unwanted by her parents, and she lived in the shadows all her life. On the other hand, Ralph was a carefree man who his mother loved dearly.
However, ever since that day, she felt she was finally on par with Ralph.
Ralph's life was not as picture-perfect as it seemed, and he had no idea who his parents were. The mother who always seemed to love him so much had abandoned him at the most crucial moment. All the love proclamation she had for him was all hypocrisy.

Albeit so, she was starting to feel uneasy again. She could feel that Ralph's heart was wavering. He still wanted to return to the Russell family. As long as he had a chance, he would go back to them.
It meant Hannah was starting to lose control over him. She was afraid that one day, he would leave her and never return Ralph was a little unhappy with how Hannah talked about his mother.
” What do you mean by ‘that woman?’ She is my mother!" "She's not your mother!" Hannah corrected. "She's not your biological mother and a selfish woman who raised and spoiled you with love only to push you away at your lowest! She left you when you becthe laughingstock of the town. Everyone else in that family is the same. They're all cold-blooded and ruthless. Me? I'm the only one who cares about you!” "Shut up! That's not the case! It's not!" Ralph covered his ears and screamed desperately, not wanting to hear what she had to Say.
Hannah stomped over and pulled down his hands forcefully before turning his face to hers. “You know it's true, but you choose to ignore it! You don't have to be scared since you have me! Everything under the Riggs family belongs to us, so we have nothing to fear! "I've finished settling the company's affairs today. We'll head htomorrow. Then we won't ever have to face these disgusting people ever again. From now on, it'll just be the two of us, okay?" "lI don't want to hear it! | don't want to hear it!" Ralph refused to listen. His strong shrug sent Hannah's body flying, and she slammed into the wall.
"Ah! “ She was not as powerful as Heather. On the contrary, she was weak. After getting shrugged off like that, she could not stop herself from getting thrown to the side.
The cry of pain from her brought Ralph back to his senses. He quickly opened his eyes and squatted down to help her. ‘Annie, I'm so sorry. | didn't mean to do that. A-Are you okay?" Hannah shook her head gently and reached out to stroke his cheek. “Ralph, I'm the only person you have, and you're the only person | have. We'll always have each other, okay?” Although her gaze was gentle, there was a certain degree of paranoia behind it. Those eyes told Ralph she would not allow anyone to stand between them.
