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. Even so, they continued beating him, and he felt like his bones were about to break.
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. 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.
