His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel 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. “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 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…”
