Upon hearing this, the man’s face showed difficulty. “Boss, earlier… Mr. Edwards sent someone to attack Riya, but that woman was lucky and didn’t die.”
“She was rescued.”
“What?” Jaime immediately showed anger. “What’s going on? That brat is always causing trouble for me, completely disregarding the bigger picture.”
“This infuriates me.”
Jaime’s eyes widened in rage. Now that things had come to a head, using a soft approach was definitely out of the question. Since the gentle way wouldn’t work, he decided to take a hard stance.
He thought for a moment and said, “What’s the situation now? Tell me.”
“Mr. Edwards mentioned some plans earlier. We can start with Riya’s brother.”
Hearing this, Jaime lit a cigarette and looked up. “Go on.”
In a single apartment in a high-end community.
Aviana returned to her room exhausted and collapsed onto the bed.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
The room was in complete disarray, but she couldn’t be bothered to clean it up.
At that moment, the landlord knocked on the door. “Aviana! Aviana! Come out and pay the rent!”
The knocking grew louder.
Aviana felt a wave of irritation. “Why are you rushing me?!”
“Tell my boyfriend to transfer it to you!”
“It’s just $300 rent! Who can’t afford that? Why are you rushing me?!”
“Your boyfriend said he broke up with you. From now on, you pay the rent yourself!”
“You’ve already delayed for three days. If you don’t pay up, I’ll kick you out!”
Aviana was stunned. She suddenly remembered that she had broken up with Devon.
The place she lived in wasn’t cheap, with a monthly rent of over $300. It looked like a high-end community from the outside, something she could boast about to her friends.
But Devon had always paid the rent for her. She had never paid it herself. Her monthly salary was just over $400, which wasn’t even enough for a week of her expenses. She had long spent all her money; where would she find money for rent?
Outside, the landlord continued to urge her. She had no choice but to open the door.
A middle-aged woman stood there with her hands on her hips, looking at the messy room with disdain.
The woman looked clean and well-dressed, but inside the room, garbage was piled up like mountains, and everything was in disarray.
This must be what they call superficial elegance?
Thinking of this, the disdain on her face deepened. “Aviana, pay the rent immediately, or I’ll kick you out.”
Aviana smiled apologetically. “Auntie, can you give me a few more days? I’m short on cash right now…”
“More time? That’s not what you said earlier. You said $300 is nothing!”
“But now, what are you saying?”
“Ridiculous!”
She despised people who changed their stance so quickly. Just now, Aviana was so arrogant, but now she’s pleading? The landlord wasn’t buying it.
Aviana looked troubled. “I’ll give it to you tomorrow!”
“Fine! One last day. Don’t say I didn’t warn you; if you don’t have the money tomorrow, I’ll kick you out!”
The landlord said coldly and slammed the door shut with a bang!
Aviana stood there in shock.
“Damn it! Devon, you scumbag! You broke up with me and left me in this situation… You won’t die a good death!”
She called Devon and said coldly, “Pay this month’s rent for me!”
Devon hung up immediately. They had broken up; why should he still support her? He had seen through Aviana by now.
Though he felt a bit reluctant, he knew he couldn’t have any more dealings with such a woman.
“Damn it!” Aviana’s face twisted in anger after being hung up on.
That man really had grown some guts; he even dared to hang up on her!
“Bang bang bang!”
There was another loud knock at the door. Aviana impatiently opened it. “Didn’t I say I’d give it to you tomorrow? What do you want…”
But when she opened the door, she found that it wasn’t the landlord standing outside but several men in suits with stern faces.
The middle-aged man leading them had sharp eyes and a smile that made her feel a chill down her spine…
