‘Why did she not hit or laugh atif I'm not hallucinating? Instead, Heather kissedand provided shelter for me,” Ralph looked at the key and thought, ‘Is this another one of her tricks? Annie?’ At first, he thought it was a sweet nicknbetween them. “Heather” would becgentle and obedient within seconds if he called her Annie, but since the last two times did not work and she even beat him up, he no longer believed it.
It was useless to call a woman any nicknif she was mentally ill. It was not like a signal to order a robot. As for her current performance, either it was another trick, or her schizophrenia was acting up.
No matter what it was, it would not benefit Ralph. He sighed and wanted to throw away the key, but after thinking about it, he stuffed it in his pocket.

Ralph also thought he might never take over the Russells. Still, he never thought he would lose everything he had.
‘Am | not a Russell? How can | not be my mother’s son?!” As long as he could remember, he lived with the Russells, called them his parents, and was the young master to the housekeepers.
He went to the best kindergarten, elementary school, and high school. While others struggled to find a job, Ralph was already working as a department manager in his family's company.
His life should be smooth sailing, but his mother told him he was not a Russell.
