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 place 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.

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?"
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 was
late, 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 explain, "It truly is worth that much..."
'Would anyone pay a 30-dollar 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. Thuy The driver waved him off impatiently, closed the car
window, and drove off.
Throwing a glance 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.

Although the family had many commercial units and villas 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 places 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 place first"
Thinking so, he entered the compound. He found the apartment building, entered its elevator, and
pressed the ninth-floor button.
