Chapter 1145
Initially, neither Ralph nor Sean got the upper hand as both took some beatings.
However, Sean's companion came to look for him and brought a group of men.
Together, they beat Ralph up and closed in on him.
As the Russell family's young master and Margaret's favorite child, nobody dared to offend him while
he could push people around in Kingsland.
However, the situation had changed.
No matter how the Russells tried to suppress the news, they could not stop their relatives from talking
about it, even if the housekeepers kept quiet.
Besides, as everyone thought Ralph would indeed get kicked out of the family, they did not bother
about him much and turned him into a laughingstock Ralph was losing the fight and could only wrap his
arms around his head on the ground and try his best to protect his vital parts.

Ultimately, Sean got tired and stopped.
Catching his breath, he stared at the unmoving man on the ground and spat.
"I only backed down last time because you had your family's support, but you're nothing now! Ptui! Stay
out of my sight from now on, or I will beat your a*s each time we meet!"
He spat again and burst out laughing with the others before leaving.
The food truck owner feared that Ralph was dead and went to examine him.
"Sir, are you all right?"
Ralph moved slightly, slowly climbed to his feet, and staggered. He looked somewhat okay.ebook
He felt his pocket, removed a fifty-dollar bill, and slapped it onto the owner's hand.
"Keep...the change."
He burped and tottered toward his car.
"Sir? Sir!"
The owner wanted to ask Ralph if he needed to go to the hospital, but seeing Ralph go away, he
thought it was better to mind his own business and keep quiet.
Ralph got into his car, pulled his wounded muscle, and felt so much pain that he took a deep breath.
Then he shut the door, lowered the seat, and suddenly bawled.
He had never been so humiliated before. He used to push people around, but now every Tom, Dick,
and Harry could make fun of him and bully him.
If the news had spread within one afternoon, he could not imagine what would happen next. He
wondered how he was supposed to live a life like this.
'Now that I can't go back to the Russell Estate, where else could I go?' As he cried, he thought about
what "Heather" had told him earlier today. He suddenly stopped crying and sat up to search himself
frantically.
Finally, he found the key in his trouser pocket.

The small and exquisite key looked shiny and seemed hardly used.
Ralph wondered why "Heather" had given him something so new.
'Is that place truly a residence or a trap?' He stared thoughtfully at the key for a long time and decided
to visit the place.
He had nowhere to go anyway, and things could not get worse than it was.
Besides, even if Heather wanted to set him up, he was not worth the effort now that he had nothing she
wanted.
He sniffled and tried in vain to start his car.
Although some gas remained, he failed to ignite the engine after a few attempts and got upset that he
slammed the wheel.
'No wonder people say bad things come in threes!' He left his car by the curb, hailed a cab, and told the
driver to head to Lucens Apartments.
Then Ralph leaned back in his seat and fell asleep.
