Riches in Disguise

I had already made up my mind. Once I dealt with Gabrielle's situation, I would immediately fire all the building managers.

Then, I would have Victor personally find a few reliable people to replace them. After all, a 32-story apartment building couldn't function without a few dependable managers.

"Will they be fired soon?" Kaelyn squinted at me, her smile cold.

"You've got some nerve, talking like you own this building. Do you think you can just fire them? If they're working here, they must have connections!

"To be honest with you, I talked to the people downstairs when I came up. They're all members of The Dragonshade Society. A few days ago, The Dragonshade Society changed ownership, and the owner of this apartment building is the new owner!

"Do you really think you can eliminate The Dragonshade Society's people?"

Hearing this, Gabrielle froze in shock. "The Dragonshade Society? Oh my goodness! How is this their turf?"

"Now you're scared, huh? What were you doing earlier?"

"I didn't know... I really didn't know."

"You're too naive and easily fooled. You're far from being ready to face the world on your own! Come back home with me now."

At those words, Gabrielle's face showed clear signs of wavering.

I was pretty surprised myself. I hadn't expected the people downstairs to be from The Dragonshade Society.

Earlier, I had asked Mason to find some people from The Dragonshade Society to work as security, thinking he would send me two sensible, well-behaved ones.

Who would've guessed he brought over those two punks? But now, thinking it over, there are no honest people in The Dragonshade Society.

I shouldn't have hired from there in the first place. I should have just hired legitimate security guards! I regretted it immediately.

"Even if they are from The Dragonshade Society, it doesn't matter. I can still make them leave. Madam, trust me. Wait two or three more days, and it'll be done."

"Two or three days? I can't wait for another day! Gabrielle, come with This

me now!noveldrama

is your last chance.

You'll regret it tonight if you don't come with me today. Those men will definitely come knocking on our door!"

wn?

I wondered if she thought that she was a prophet. It seemed like she was just threatening Gabrielle.

But Gabrielle was clearly scared. She had already been frightened by the people downstairs, and now, with Kaelyn threatening her, she was even more terrified, barely able to move her feet.

I understood her fear and came up

with a solution. "How about this, Gabrielle? You go back with your mom for now. I'll handle the people in the building. I'll call you once I've taken care of it, and you can move back in. I'll keep this unit for you."

We were indeed destined to meet. I planned to give her a friendly discount for this unit.

Naturally, it would only be for six months. After that, if her situation improved, the rent would return to the original price. She couldn't keep living here for a cheap price.

Gabrielle hesitated. "But I'm afraid if I go back, I won't be able to leave. My mom won't let me go... Unless you go back with me!"

"Me?"

She was really getting into character, huh? I was just a stranger to her. How could

I possibly go home with her?

I could only foree a smile. "That's not necessary. What's it to you if I go back with you? Even if we were dating, we're not living together. You should just go back for now. It's the modern era. Your mom can't really tie you down, right? If you want to leave, you'll find a way. Don't worry."
