Chapter 759


    He didn’t have much to say now, gave a few coughs, and then waved his hand.


    “I promised Maja we’d grab a bite together at some point, and you’reing along whether you like it


    or not.”


    He was supposed to stay out of this, but the rumors these days were just too much.


    “Got it, Grandpa.”


    Leaving the old house,n stared nkly out the car window.


    Jeff couldn’t figure out what was going on in his head, but was surprised to see he hadn’t been


    punished.


    On stepping into the hall of Greenfield Gardens, the servant sawn return and immediately fetched a


    beautifully wrapped gift.


    “Sir, this was sent over by Tyler.”


    He went back to his room, took a quick shower, avoiding his wounds, and after drying his hair with a


    towel, he opened the gift.


    As soon as the wrapping was opened, it revealed a love manual.


    But the book ended up on the bedside table.


    He should not trust Tyler.


    He grabbed hisptop from the side, climbed into bed, and started typing. He worked on a few


    documents, then shut down theputer.


    But he couldn’t sleep; he hadn’t been sleeping well recently, and he felt like the room was filled with


    Penny’s scent.


    He turned off the brightest light in the room, leaving only themp by the bed, and for some reason,


    he picked up the so–called love manual and started reading.


    The book was written in a simple and easy–to–understand style, clearly for young people with zero love


    experience.


    The whole book was about acknowledging mistakes, cheering up the other party, and learning how to


    swim.


    Tan frowned, not understanding what cheering up a woman had to do with swimming.


    He flipped a page, and it read, Women often asked “If I and the other girl fell into the water, who would


    you save?”


    she probably wouldn’t ask this question.


    Skip.


    He kept reading until dawn without realizing it.


    When the outside just started to light up, he realized he had spent the whole night reading such a


    boring book!


    His face was a bit grim; he got up, dressed, and threw the book straight into the trash bin.


    What a waste of time!


    After a quick breakfast, he headed to the Raymond Corporation; he had told Maja toe find


    him.


    So he called Jeff in the morning.


    “You said I gave a piece ofnd to Penny?”


    “Yes, sir. Ms. Penny has paid about a year’s rent, one million a month.”


    “Is the contract signed?”


    At that time, they hadn’t fought like they didst night. Although they signed a simple contract, it didn’t


    have legal force.


    “It’s not signed.”


    “We need to take back thend. The rent from thatnd is far more than a million.”


    Jeff understood he was deliberately making things difficult for her, but he dared not stop him.


    Soon, Maja just woke up and received a phone call.


    “Ms. Penny, about thend we rented to you, the CEO has changed his mind; we will refund your


    money.”


    Maja was caught off guard byn’s move.


    She had paid the rent, evenmunicated with the decorationpany, bought the materials, and


    all the small rooms in themunity were under decoration and could be moved in within two months.


    Even Meetman had chosen his room. Now thatn said he wouldn’t rent it to her, how much would she


    lose?


    She had paid a deposit to the decorationpany, and the deposit was not refundable.


    Next, she would have to look fornd again, which would definitely take a lot of effort.


    But now the Star Movie group was well–known because of the conflict with Simstar Entertainment and


    the high ratings of the drama, which broke records constantly. Now there were hundreds of people


    wanting to sign with S.M., thepany was reviewing resumes and even conducting interviews, and


    everyone was very busy. She had a lot of paperwork not yet handled and was definitely not in the


    mood to look fornd again.


    “Jeff, I remember we signed a contract.”


    “That contract doesn’t have much legal force. Ms. Penny, it was just a temporary contract.”


    Maja took a deep breath, gritting her teeth. “This is ack of integrity. Businessmen detest this kind of


    thing. Is the Raymond Corporation really going to do this?”


    Jeff maintained a business–like attitude.


    “I’m sorry, I can’t make a decision on this.”


    The implication of his words was that this was the CEO’s idea.


    Maja knewn was getting back at her, but why was he getting back at her?


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    “Ms. Penny, whenever you’re avable, we will refund the rent; we need you to provide a bank


    ount.”


    But Maja hung up the phone directly, her chest heaving with anger.
