Chapter 75
Jayla was the daughter of Nolan’s uncle and aunt. She wasn’t his real sister, but Nolan treated her like his blood. They grew up together, and he loved her like family. So when he heard her crying on the phone, scared and panicking, it made his heart drop. It meant that something was clearly very wrong, and it made him afraid.Her voice was shaky from crying and her words were hard to hear.“Jayla,” Nolan said gently, trying to stay calm. “Can you calm down a bit and tell me clearly what’s going on? I need you to breathe and talk slowly. What exactly happened to Uncle? What’s going on right now?”Jayla sniffed loudly on the other end of the line. She was crying hard. “Okay… okay… I’ll try,” she said, taking a deep breath.“So I came home today, and I saw Dad lying down on the bed. He looked really pale, and he was sweating a lot. I got scared and asked him what was wrong, but he told me he was fine. He said everything was okay. So I didn’t push it. I thought maybe he had just done to
Chapter 74
When Manager Lee was sure that Eric had gone downstairs and the noise had stopped, he let out a long sigh. He walked up to the door of the penthouse and pressed the doorbell.Inside the house, Nolan was sitting down and drinking water when he heard the doorbell ring. He didn’t go to the door immediately. Instead, he stood up and walked to the small screen beside the door. It was a camera that showed who was outside.He looked at the screen and saw that it was Manager Lee standing outside. He looked calm now, not angry like before so he pressed the button and opened the door.“Come in,” Nolan said.Manager Lee stepped in quickly and bowed to Nolan.“I’m so sorry, young master,” he said. “I didn’t plan for this kind of thing to happen. The guards downstairs were supposed to be extra strict and no one should have been allowed to come to this floor without permission. They really failed today and because of that, I sincerely apologize.”Nolan walked into the living room and shook his hea

Eric turned slowly and saw Nolan standing a little far from him and he was just standing there, staring at him. Eric’s eyes narrowed at him.“What do you think you’re looking at?” Eric shouted, walking up to him fast.He pushed Nolan hard in the chest. “Have you been standing here just to watch me fail? Are you going to run to school and tell everyone what happened? Is that your plan?”Nolan stood his ground and didn’t move back but he looked annoyed.“I’m not even the person you should be talking to right now,” Nolan said with a small frown. “You know I’m not like that. I don’t go around telling everyone about people’s secrets and business like you do.”Eric’s jaw tightened because he hated that Nolan was right. “You should be more worried about Ginny,” Nolan added. “She saw everything. She saw how you gave the card back to Manager Lee and she saw how you begged him not to tell your father. If anyone is going to run their mouth, it’s Ginny, not me.”Eric bit his lip hard. He knew N

Manager Lee looked at the rest of the group and spoke again, ignoring Ginny. “The rest of you, leave now. Get out of here before I lose my patience. If you don’t want to be in big trouble, leave this minute.”Savannah didn’t even think twice before she rushed to where Jett was lying on the floor, holding his side in pain. His face was red, and his shirt was torn. She bent down beside him, looking at his injuries.“Are you okay?” she asked, her voice filled with worry.“I don’t know…” Jett said weakly, wincing in pain as he tried to sit up.“Come on, let’s go,” she said as she helped him stand. It wasn’t easy because he couldn't even move without groaning so she put his arm over her shoulder and slowly walked with him toward the elevator.Dora stomped her foot hard on the ground angrily. “This is so unfair!” she shouted. “I didn’t even get to see the stupid penthouse! I can’t believe I came all this way for nothing!”But when Manager Lee turned to look at her with his cold eyes, sh

Ginny turned around quickly, fuming. She pointed at Manager Lee and looked at Eric and Jett.“Don’t let this man from nowhere scare you!” she said boldly. “He’s only trying to act big, but he can’t do anything. He’s not the owner of this place. He’s just a worker and a staff! He’s nothing compared to us.”Manager Lee raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything.“The good thing is…” Ginny continued with a smirk. “I already recorded everything he said. Every single thing. I have it on my phone right here.” She waved her phone in the air.Eric’s eyes widened. “What?! Ginny, why did you…?”“We’ll take it to the police,” Ginny said, ignoring him. “We’ll show them how he tried to threaten us and with this, he’ll rot in jail. He thinks he can talk to us like that? He’s finished.”Eric rubbed both hands over his head in frustration. All he wanted was to show off the penthouse and impress his friends, especially Ginny but now, everything was ruined. He had never been this stressed before.May
Chapter 70
Manager Lee walked forward with a serious look on his face. His eyebrows were raised as he looked directly at Eric with questioning eyes. Eric felt nervous immediately. His legs started shaking a bit, and he didn’t know where to put his hands. He looked down, then looked at the wall, then the ceiling, anywhere but at Manager Lee.“Can I ask you a question?” Manager Lee said, walking closer to him again. “Why are you here?”Eric opened his mouth to answer but no words came out. He was still in shock and didn’t know what to say. His friends were all looking at him, waiting for his answer and waiting for him to tell manager Lee that he was related to the person that stayed in the penthouse but he couldn’t talk. If he said the wrong thing, he could get into big trouble.Then, Ginny suddenly stepped forward with her hands on her hips and a ugly look on her face. She rolled her eyes and scoffed loudly.“Do you even know who you’re talking to?” she said, pointing at Manager Lee like he was
