Chapter 2786


    The action froze in mid-air as a bitter smile eventually surfaced on his face, “You don’t get it. It’s


    precisely because I love them that I can’t get close.”


    “Are you worried about Domingo and his cronies giving you trouble? They can’t just run rampant and


    wipe everyone out withws in the world.


    Besides, you don’t even live there anymore, and you don’t even own your own house. Why on earth


    are they still dogging you relentlessly?”


    Ablett’splexion turned sour, “It’s not that I don’t want to pursue this matter, but the difference


    between us is just too vast. Maybe out of all the people involved, I’m the only one stubborn enough to


    cause a stir, so I make them mad.


    Heck, as long as I’m alive, I’ll never let them off the hook, that unscrupulous developer! I’ll always


    remember who made me homeless, and who prevented me to see my own children!”


    “Actually, I came today to ask if you had any more specific details back then. I’ve found Lout about


    Domingo and the group behind him, but I couldn’t collect more details.”


    Regina frowned slightly, equally at a loss in the face of such a dilemma. She had tried to investigate the


    group in many ways, but it was sealed tight, without a single crack to exploit.


    “When they drove you out, did they slip up at all? They had topensate you somehow, right? Even if


    the contract was grossly unfair, was there any evidence left behind?”


    Ablett bowed his head in recollection, while Regina watched him intently, desperate to hear a useful


    clue from his lips.


    “I felt the contract was so unfair when I first saw it so I didn’t sign it and didn’t even dea with them.


    And then, more and more residents began to move out, and I started to sense something was off…


    But by the time I wanted to find that contract again, it was nowhere to be found.”


    Ablett suddenly clutched his head in agony, “It’s all my fault for not having a lick of legal sense. I


    should’ve taken photos to keep as evidence. Even some neighbors had discussed this with me, and we


    were all baffled. But in the end, they had no choice but to leave. I just know they must’ve threatened


    the residents through illegal means!


    Yes, that’s it! My neighbor didn’t breathe a word of it until just before they left, warning me to look out


    for myself and not to confront them!”

    The more Ablett thought about it, the more he was convinced that they had all been coerced into


    leaving, and that some might have even been harmed.


    What about you? It’s not possible that your family was the only exception, right?”


    The mention of his family caused Ablett to slump again, his prior fervor reced by a deep


    despondency.


    “Heh, I don’t know what my wife heard from others, but as all our neighbors were leaving, she refused


    to stand by my side. I can’t me her; if we stayed any longer, we might have ended up with nothing.


    But I’m so stubborn, and we’ve been fighting about it all the time.


    I knew she was scared, but I failed tofort her as a husband should. It even got to the point of


    divorce. I regret so much! I just can’t understand it. I spent all my savings on that house, so why was I


    forced out so easily?”
