His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1159

The villa was not too far away. With the money he had, he requested a ride online and was able to get there fast.

The security guards at the housing estate recognized him and did not stop him. Reaching the villa without a hitch, he triple-checked the house number.

There were many properties under his name, including condos and villas in and outside of Kingsland. He could not remember all of them, but he did remember this unit as it was only purchased two years ago.

Having been involved in the real estate industry for the longest time, the influential Russell family had bought the whole piece of land, and a few of the best units were reserved for them when the project was completed.

Ralph did not care much about his properties, as he had never stayed there. Thinking that he could own everything once he took over the company, he never thought these houses deserved his attention.

However, things had changed. A house like this could become his shelter, and if he sold it, he could lead a comfortable life for a while. With the same money, an ordinary spender might have enough to support the rest of their life.

He quickly entered the simple passcode, which was his birthday. It was always his birthday because he needed help remembering the various passcodes for so many houses. The door was unlocked with a beep.

Ralph’s eyes lit up as he quickly pushed the door open and walked in.

It was nicely tidied up and spotless, as the cleaners came regularly. Since it had not been lived in for a long time, it showed no sign of human presence, but it was indeed a much better place than Hannah’s small apartment.

Standing in the huge living area, he wanted to laugh triumphantly. Not in poverty, he still had his properties and money, which boosted his confidence.

‘However…’

Standing akimbo, he looked around and suddenly thought of a question. ‘I might be able to stay here for now, but Alexander would soon locate me. Where could I go when he took back the house? Also, where can I go if they kick me out of the family? I’ve no one to depend on but Hannah.’

He thought about it and fished out his phone. It had been turned off most of the time for the past two days, and he had only briefly checked it a few times before shutting it off again. There were unanswered calls and messages from unknown numbers, and seeing that his mother had not contacted him, he assumed she was cutting him loose.

His ego would not allow him to return and beg mercy from the family, but he had to yield to reality. He could not imagine surviving if he was left with nothing.

After some thought, he finally called the number. “Mom?”

Margaret continued to sleep for a while after she ate. She was tired, but eating the food and sleeping well had given her new energy. It was then that the phone rang, waking her up.

She jerked awake before she heard the ring, as if she could feel it. Unsure if she was dreaming, she initially thought she had an auditory hallucination.
