Chapter 2145
“No need for the trouble.” Brodie immediately whipped out a pen from his pocket and offered it to
Sheldon. “I brought one with me. Please use mine, Mr. Guerrero.”
Sheldon''s expression darkened.
This f**king idiot! Is he nning to force me to sign the contract?
Faced with such a situation, Sheldon had no choice but to sign it.
“Here you go. I''ll be taking my leave now as I still have work to settle.”
He spun around and called for the elevator.
“Wait, Mr. Guerrero.” Brodie stopped him. “You haven''t paid me the rent yet.”
Sheldon cussed Brodie in his mind again. “I''ll have to go through the finance department to authorize
and transfer that payment. Unfortunately, the manager in charge is not around today, and anyone less
doesn''t have the authority to approve such arge payment.”
“How about this? I''ll write you a check.”
After a brief hesitation, Brodie nodded. “That''ll work.”
Sheldon reached for the checkbook tucked in his pocket, flipped it open, and began to fill it. “There
should be no problems after this, I presume. I''ll be returning to my work then.” He handed the check to
Brodie.
“No problem.” Brodie nodded fervently with a wide smile. “It was a pleasure doing business with you,
Mr. Guerrero.”
“The pleasure is mine,” Sheldon returned, then entered the waiting elevator.
Brodie walked toward Zeke, waving the check in front of thetter with a triumphant look. “Anything
more you want to say, Williams?”
“Prepare the money, or I''ll break your leg.”
Zeke challenged, “Are you so sure that you''ve won?”
“He signed the contract. Are you saying that was fake? Don''t tell me you''re nning to go back on your
words.” Brodie cussed.
Zeke asked, “The contract, where is it?”
Brodie''s entire body stiffened when he realized Sheldon had taken both copies of the contract with him.
Brodie rebuked, “Mr. Guerrero must have identally taken both copies of the contract. I''ll ask for it
backter.”
Zeke wasn''t buying his exnation. “Sheldon identally took it away? I''m afraid it was intentional.”
“Hey Williams, I''m specting that you don''t have a brain,” Brodie mocked.
“Why does Mr. Guerrero need so many copies of the contract? He already paid me. It''s pointless for
him to take away the extra copy.
“So he must have taken it by ident.”
Zeke continued to question, “Have you checked if the check is valid?”
“What bull are you trying to pull? Of course, it''s valid. I watched Mr. Guerrero sign it myself. Are you
saying my eyes are ying tricks on me?”
Zeke said casually, “The check is only valid with a stamp. I see that this check doesn''t have one, other
than a signature. Without a stamp, it''s nothing more than a paper.”
“Huh?”
Brodie instantly examined the check carefully. His hands began to sweat and tremble when he was
done.
There''s no stamp on the check. This check isn''t valid.
A sheen of sweat had covered his forehead. Yet, he still tried to assure himself. “I''m sure Mr. Guerrero
has just forgotten to stamp it. I''ll bring it to him immediately.”
Zeke stopped him. “I advise you not to do that. It''s pointless.”
“Shut up!”
Brodie barked, “Do you take everyone to be as foul as you? Mr. Guerrero wouldn''t have gone back on
his words for a mere one point two million.”
Zeke said casually, “I see you''re not going to believe me until you see it for yourself. I''ll tell you the truth
then, Mr. Turner.
“It was us who had gotten Project Mitxel and not Sheldon.
“Without Project Mitxel, why would he lease a building? It was obvious that he was going back on his
verbal agreement with you.”
“No! Shut your mouth!”
Brodie''s face was red from the anger. “I believe in Mr. Guerrero. He''s not that kind of person. I''ll ask
him to stamp the check now.”
He didn''t wait for the elevator and took the stairs instead, dashing for Sheldon''s office urgently.

He prayed hard on his way, hoping Zeke was lying.
When he arrived at his destination, Sheldon wasn''t surprised to see him, as though the former was
expecting him. “Mr. Turner, what a rare guest. May I ask the reason for your visit?”
