He didn’t have much to say now, gave a few coughs, and then waved his hand.
“I promised Maja we’d grab a bite together at some point, and you’re coming along whether you like it
or not.”
He was supposed to stay out of this, but the rumors these days were just too much.
lan noticed he didn’t ask about Penny, so there was no need to piss him off right now.
“Got it, Grandpa.”
Leaving the old house, lan stared blankly out the car window.
Jeff couldn’t figure out what was going on in his head, but was surprised to see he hadn’t been
punished.
On stepping into the hall of Greenfield Gardens, the servant saw lan return and immediately fetched a
beautifully wrapped gift.
“Sir, this was sent over by Tyler.”
lan took it casually, without opening it.
He went back to his room, took a quick shower, avoiding his wounds, and after drying his hair with a
towel, he opened the gift.
As soon as the wrapping was opened, it revealed a love manual.
lan’s face darkened instantly, and he chucked the book away.
But the book ended up on the bedside table.
He should not trust Tyler.
He grabbed his laptop from the side, climbed into bed, and started typing. He worked on a few
documents, then shut down the computer.
But he couldn’t sleep; he hadn’t been sleeping well recently, and he felt like the room was filled with
Penny’s scent.
He turned off the brightest light in the room, leaving only the lamp by the bed, and for some reason,
he picked up the so–called love manual and started reading.
The book was written in a simple and easy–to–understand style, clearly for young people with zero love
experience.
The whole book was about acknowledging mistakes, cheering up the other party, and learning how to
swim.
Tan frowned, not understanding what cheering up a woman had to do with swimming.
He flipped a page, and it read, Women often asked “If I and the other girl fell into the water, who would
you save?”
lan thought about the answer, realizing that everyone around him could swim, so if he were with Penny,
she probably wouldn’t ask this question.
Skip.
He kept reading until dawn without realizing it.
When the outside just started to light up, he realized he had spent the whole night reading such a
boring book!
His face was a bit grim; he got up, dressed, and threw the book straight into the trash bin.
What a waste of time!
After a quick breakfast, he headed to the Raymond Corporation; he had told Maja to come findhim.
So he called Jeff in the morning.
“You said I gave a piece of land to Penny?”
“Yes, sir. Ms. Penny has paid about a year’s rent, one million a month.”
“Is the contract signed?”
At that time, they hadn’t fought like they did last night. Although they signed a simple contract, it didn’t
have legal force.
“It’s not signed.”
“We need to take back the land. The rent from that land is far more than a million.”
Jeff understood he was deliberately making things difficult for her, but he dared not stop him.
Soon, Maja just woke up and received a phone call.
“Ms. Penny, about the land we rented to you, the CEO has changed his mind; we will refund your
money.”
Maja was caught off guard by lan’s move.
She had paid the rent, even communicated with the decoration company, bought the materials, andall the small rooms in the community were under decoration and could be moved in within two months.
Even Meetman had chosen his room. Now that lan said he wouldn’t rent it to her, how much would she
lose? novelbin
She had paid a deposit to the decoration company, and the deposit was not refundable.
Next, she would have to look for land again, which would definitely take a lot of effort.
But now the Star Movie group was well–known because of the conflict with Simstar Entertainment and
the high ratings of the drama, which broke records constantly. Now there were hundreds of people
wanting to sign with S.M., the company was reviewing resumes and even conducting interviews, and
everyone was very busy. She had a lot of paperwork not yet handled and was definitely not in the
mood to look for land again.
lan was deliberately making trouble for her.
“Jeff, I remember we signed a contract.”
“That contract doesn’t have much legal force. Ms. Penny, it was just a temporary contract.”
Maja took a deep breath, gritting her teeth. “This is a lack of integrity. Businessmen detest this kind of
thing. Is the Raymond Corporation really going to do this?”
Jeff maintained a business–like attitude.
“I’m sorry, I can’t make a decision on this.”
The implication of his words was that this was the CEO’s idea.
Maja knew lan was getting back at her, but why was he getting back at her?
“Ms. Penny, whenever you’re available, we will refund the rent; we need you to provide a bank
account.”
But Maja hung up the phone directly, her chest heaving with anger.
