Chapter 214

“Yeah, I want to give it a try.”

“You can do it,” he looked at me and said with determination.

I felt genuinely happy from the bottom of my heart and sincerely said, “Jack, this time, really, thank

you!*

Although he casually brushed it off; I could still imagine the effort he must have put into retrieving the Charlotte Jewelry.

Jack sighed helplessly. “Thank me for what? I originally wanted to reclaim your parents‘ company as well, but they wouldn’t sell it.”

“This is already more than enough,” I replied earnestly. “Having the Charlotte Jewelry is sufficient.”

“I’m glad 4 could help.”

He breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the entrance, opened the door and glanced outside, furrowing his brows slightly. Then he looked back at me. “Charlotte, do you have a rag?”

“What’s wrong?”

“The cleaning lady didn’t quite clean up properly. I’ll wipe it again,” Jack said gently. “After all, it’s blood. I don’t want you to see it and get scared.”

“It’s okay.”

I gathered the documents into the file bag and placed it on the coffee table. “Stop worrying about it. I should be moving out in a few days.”

Even though this apartment at the Lake Garden was clearly specified as part of my property in the divorce agreement, trouble always seemed to follow whenever Ryan was involved. Today it was Bethany, tomorrow it could be Jessica, Lauren… Anyone could come and question why I was living here, and some might even barge in and cause a scene.

If I didn’t move out soon, I would only be asking for trouble.

Jack’s eyes softened, “Have you found a place?”

“Not yet. I just made the decision.” I shook my head, “I’ll go look for rental houses tomorrow and sell this apartment.”

This way, the money from selling this apartment could become the initial funds for rebuilding the Charlotte Jewelry.

Jack approached me, carefully choosing his words. “I know a good place. Would you consider it? It’s an empty house that I’ve been meaning to rent out but haven’t found a tenant. It’s not far from here, and it’ll be convenient for you to move or reorganize your company.”

“Really?”

“No need to see it,” I refused with a smile. “I trust you. If you say it’s a good place, then it must be. But let’s set it straight, I’ll pay you the rent as usual. How much were you planning to charge per month?” “Alright, then I’ll take advantage of you.” Jack extended his hand. “I’ll charge you 1,000 a month.”

Since I had decided to move, I wanted to get everything done as soon as possible, especially after Bethany’s confrontation today.

After Jack left, I started packing my clothes.

When I moved in, it was just a few suitcases, and now it was the same. I hadn’t accumulated much.

I had been too busy lately, always revolving around various matters without taking the time to live properly.

The next day, Jack came early to help me move and took me to see the house.

When we arrived, the moment he opened the door, I realized that it wasn’t about him taking advantage of me. It was me taking full advantage of him.

It wasn’t any worse than the apartment at the Lake Garden.

It was in a similar location.

With a layout of two elevators and two apartments per floor, this size would easily fetch 4,000 dollars a month for rent. Moreover, this apartment looked new and had never been lived in.

“Oh.” Suddenly, from the doorway of another unit down the hall, Frank appeared with his usual lazy demeanor, leaning against the door frame, eyes curving into crescents. “Looks like I’m getting a new neighbor?”
