Chapter 437


    No!


    Sending the email telling Julian off mistakenly to Mr. Crawford was Diana’s biggest regret.


    After thinking about it, she replied curtly, [I don’t need your money. Please don’t contact me again. A


    competent ex–husband should be as good as dead, not thering on and on like this andughing at


    others when they’re in trouble!]


    Julian was dumbfounded.


    He really wasn’tughing at her.


    He sincerely wanted to help her.


    But now, he was sure that Diana was indeed furious.


    Because now, even through email…


    His address was blocked.


    The following morning, Diana first went to the studio to take stock of the still avable fabric before


    talking to thendlord once again.


    But she was once again too naive.


    Thendlord, who had already gotten a sweet deal from Marvin, was unwilling to relent and didn’t


    believe Diana’s words, insisting on the rent increase.


    Once the rent was raised, the loss wasn’t just for this month, but would be an unjustified long–term


    loss. It would force Diana to pay rent that was several times more than the other nearby merchants


    each month.


    After some thought, Diana decided she would no longer be easygoing and negotiate. Instead, she


    sharpened her tone and straightened up, instantly bing capable and powerful. Even her tone had


    a hint of steel beneath it as she said, “Let me make it clear. I don’t agree with the rent increase. If you


    insist on raising the rent, I’ll move out.”


    Thendlord’s face changed immediately, his nervousness clear.


    During this conversation, Diana clearly had turned the tables and now had the upper hand as she


    continued, “I know who was behind you and causing trouble for me. There’s no need to say who it was.


    Has he promised you other benefits which you have yet to receive? But those promises will not be


    honored. The odds are that he’s in a miserable situation right now.”


    The documents Julian sent her about Marvin mentioned that his wife was like a tigress, and she was


    responsible for his sess. However, after a few short years, Marvin started to keep mistresses.


    With his wife’s attitude, it was unlikely she would let him off easily.

    It was a much better punishment than sending him to jail.


    Thendlord’s eyes widened. Obviously, her words had hit home.


    “Is that true?”


    “Of course,” Diana said, pulling out her phone. “Or you can try and see if you can reach him right now.”


    When thendlord saw this, she knew Diana was telling the truth. Instantly, she deted and said,


    “Fine. Then tell me… How do you want to settle this?”


    “I’ll let you increase the rent by double.”


    When Diana said that, it was like a p to thendlord’s face, but also a sweet deal.


    Thendlord had thought there was no hope for her to benefit this time, but Diana was still willing to


    give her more money! Her expression instantly became better, and the smile on her face was infinitely


    bright. She was clearly open to discussing more with Diana.


    “But you have to sign an agreement,” Diana added. “For five years, you’re not allowed to increase the


    rent.”


    Diana knew the rent in this area would increase sooner orter, and she had calcted all the rent


    costs in the vicinity. Even if her rent was double right now, she wouldn’t be losing out if it stayed the


    same for five years.


    Of course, thendlord was willing.


    After all, people who agreed to join forces with people like Marvin to screw over their tenants were


    undeniably greedy.
