Chapter 50

“This house belongs to my master, Mr. David Moore, and I'm in charge of everything here," the butler replied.

"Late Mr. David Moore,” the man corrected, nodding his head. Then he adjusted his suit before continuing. "For your notice, since you look clueless, I'm Mr. Jones Wei’s representative, who lent your boss a huge amount of money, which he promised to repay. But quite unfortunately, he couldn't before his son took his life. And according to the agreement, everything belonging to him automatically turns ours. That means, we're the legal owner of everything he had.”

The butler gulped, speechless. David Moore had made mention of that before his death, but he didn't expect these people to be this heartless to come immediately after the property without prior notice.

Without saying another word, he turned to the other man who had come with him, smirking widely. “Show him the papers. Let him see the evidence.”

    Chapter 53“Alright, thank you," Charlie appreciated.“You're welcome, master. Anything for you." As the call ended, Charlie walked back to the scene, keeping a composed appearance, his hands tucked casually into his pockets. The crowd was still gathered there, whispering among themselves as they listened to the security guard still running his mouth. “Oh, you're finally back," the security guard started, “you said I was digging my own grave, but I can't —”He didn't finish his words when the sound of running footsteps interjected suddenly, causing him to pause and turn around.His eyes swung open as he spotted the manager rushing outside, his heart panting heavily as if being chased by a dog. The security guard nodded firmly as he turned to Charlie, his expression getting dark. “You're finished now! The manager is here." But Charlie didn't utter a word to him. He remained calm, his hands stayed tucked in his pockets.Turning back again, the security guard said to the manager, wh

    Chapter 52He felt disgusted at Charlie's presence.Charlie raised an eyebrow and sighed. He wasn't in for this today, and if this security guard doesn't act professionally, he might be forced to take unexpected action.Maybe he may lose his job.“I'm here to get myself a smartphone," Charlie replied, his face twisting into a slight frown. The security guard chuckled, amused. "So you mean I can walk up to Mr. Donald Trump’s, the President of the United States of America, gate and tell his security guard that I want to talk with him?” Charlie looked at him, confused. "What's that supposed to mean?” He deepened his frown, glaring at the security guard.The latter didn't flinch. “No, look at yourself. I mean look at yourself very well, do you look like someone who can afford the least phone in this place? Be honest with yourself." Charlie didn't say anything. His nose flared with rage.The security guard smirked at his silence and he foolishly carried on without knowing who he was tal

    Chapter 51A hint of surprise flashed through Charlie's eyes as he took in the figure. It was the old woman whom he had handed over Paul's apartment to, and after paying double the supposed rent.She was standing there with a small yet dusty square box. “What's that?" Charlie asked. “Please, come inside," he quickly added, stepping aside, letting the old woman slowly enter.“Please, sit down.”Charlie quickly dressed the bed, gesturing for her to sit down.“Thank you." Once seated, the woman held the box up, “Please, take it. It was given to me by my late mother,” she said, a small smile curling at the corners of her lips. Charlie took it and opened it, revealing a delicate string of multicolored glass beads. It shimmered under the light subtly, suggesting age and craftsmanship.“This? This is…..” Charlie's eyes went wide as he took out the necklace, observing it.“Yes, it's a Bajang pendant,” the old woman nodded, "it's a symbol of protection and fertility. My late mother handed

    Chapter 49June sighed. “He called? That's the guy I told you about—the guy who saved me from harassment today.” She extended her hand, taking the phone from her mother.As she glanced down at the screen, she nodded in confirmation. " Yeah, he's the one. Guess, he called to confirm if I'm back home safely.”“Oh, I didn't know that or I should have thanked him properly," her mother replied. Then she stepped forward, reluctantly placing her hand on June's shoulder before adding, "J—June, I think Charlie's a good person. W—Why don't you give him a chance?” June narrowed her eyes at her mother, blinking in perplexity and disbelief. “What are you talking about, Mum? You don't even know him just yet and you're concluding he's a good person?” She felt a pang of disappointment. "Besides, we're just getting to know each other, so how could you possibly say I should give him a chance?”June knew her single life had been a burden to her parents, especially her mother. She wanted her to be in a

  • Chapter 48: Who's Charlie to you?

    Chapter 48Hearing the voice, Charlie frowned slightly at the question. Didn't she save his number? He sat up straighter on his bed, his voice nervous as he replied. “Hey, June. It's Charlie. We both met at the restaurant today, remember?” He reluctantly added. "You didn't save my contact?”There was a brief pause from the other end. "Hello June, are you still there?” Charlie asked."I'm sorry, but this isn't June. It is the mum. What do you want?”Charlie shifted immediately on the bed, his heart almost skipping. He hadn't noticed it wasn't June. She and her mother shared a similar voice.He quickly checked the time. It was past 9 in the evening. “Um…um….just wanted to know if she's gone home safely that's all,” Charlie stammered, his voice breaking slightly under the tension built in his mind. “But I guess she's home now and safe so I'll hang up now.”His finger quickly moved to the end button, about t
