Chapter 62: Chapter 62
While Everything seemed to be peaceful outside the world, inside the Golden Fall Villa was absolute chaos.
Kneeling on the floor in the living room was the chef who looked as if she was about to be butchered. Rayne, who had just returned from the set of one of the movies she was investing in, paced in front of the chef.
“You mean he hasn’t returned for the last three days!?” She shrieked, her eyes red with anger.
“Young Miss, that is true.” The chef was trembling. “Even I didn’t realize the Young Master’s absence until I saw the food untouched the next morning.”
Rayne continued pacing. She was so mad that she could barely breathe properly. Her hands shook and she ended up slapping the woman.
“Why didn’t you inform me immediately?” She yelled. “Do you think you only live here to cook and sleep? You are supposed to let me know if something goes wrong.”
The woman lowered her head, rubbing her cheek. How could she know if she was supposed to tell her or not? In fact, she was fed up with this Young Miss. The Young Master usually left for work early in the morning and sometimes returned late.
While this Young Miss acted as if she owned the Villa, ordering her around as if she were a machine. Didn’t her engagement end with the Young Master? Why did she assume the position of the mistress of the house?
How pathetic.
Rayne looked at the woman. As if she could hear her thoughts, she sent another slap across her face. “You won’t even apologize. Are you so full of yourself now after spending some days here?”
“Young Miss, please don’t misunderstand.” The chef quickly shook her head and looked down. “I- I regret not telling you. How about you give the Young Master a call?”
Rayne laughed out loud at the woman’s suggestion. Since that night, that man never spoke to her. He never even answered her call.
Wasn’t she the most pitiful woman in the world right now? While she groveled after that man, with both hands stretched forward holding her heart, he didn’t want to spare her even a few seconds of his time.
The man’s attitude towards her had turned from bad to worse, while Rayne didn’t even know what she did to receive that kind of treatment. She only suggested that he get rid of that girl.
Remembering that night, her anger skyrocketed and she raised her hand to slap the woman again. However, the chef was quick to stand up and rush out of the room, avoiding the slap.
Rayne’s hand hung mid-air. She threw her head back and laughed hysterically. At this moment, the girl looked as if she had been possessed. More correctly, she looked out of her mind.
Max, who had been standing in a corner, stared at his Young Miss with pitiful eyes. He stepped into the living room and stood in front of her. “I will take care of her.”
He was about to go after the chef but Rayne stopped him.
“Let her be. She is just a lowly servant. Besides, she still needs to cook for us.”
Following her order, Max retreated back to where he had been standing. Every day, he watched as his Young Miss became more miserable all because of the Young Master.
If he was finally able to get rid of that girl, she would finally have peace of mind.
Max brought out his phone and dialed a number. From the other end, a grumpy voice came.
“The time is not right. Please be a bit more patient.”
“I can take on this mission myself. Since when does getting rid of a weak girl become so hard?”
“There’s a reason why this city is known for its eternal peace. Mister, the way we operate things around here is different.”
…
The X District Apartment Building was in a celebratory mood the next day. The residents were all standing outside, watching wonders happen.
Not only was the best architecture company in the city present, even the best engineers had been invited to renovate the apartment building.
Due to the renovation, the residents had to move into the nearby hotel. The best thing was, that they were going to be living freely in that hotel till the next three days when the renovation would be over.
Who would have thought their landlord was this generous? Apart from bringing down the rent, he also lived up to his promise of renovating the apartment building and installing new gadgets.
When Mr. Su told them that, the man didn’t mention it again. He just collected the rent and kept increasing it. The residents soon began doubting if they had been scammed by the landlord. But everything turned out to be Mr. Su’s ploy in the end.
While Dylan was dragging their luggage, Mrs. Lin was standing by the street side, trying to stop a taxi.
“Mum, how about we stay at Big Sis’s place instead? Since she moved out, we haven’t spent some time together.”
“Of course, we’re going to Annie’s place. These people are too noisy.” And Mrs. Lin didn’t like a lot of noise. She easily get irritated.
If all their neighbors were going to cramp up in that hotel, how could she breathe properly?
Dylan felt delighted by his mother’s reply. He dropped the luggage inside the back of the car. Then he hurried to the backseat area and held the door open for her.
“You-“ Mrs. Lin raised a skeptical brow. “Tell me you didn’t do anything suspicious, Dylan. Why do you look extra happy?”
Dylan scratched his head and chuckled. “Things are finally back to the way they were, Mum. Your store will get repaired and Mrs. Su will have to compensate you for the lost goods. The rent has been reduced drastically, and Big Sis now has her own apartment. Naturally, I should be happy.”
“Just get in the car,” Mrs. Lin snapped. “You like free things, don’t you?”
Dylan pursed his lips and went inside the car, sighing inside. After a long ride, the taxi arrived at H District Apartment Building and Mrs. Lin paid the man.
Annie had just come back from work and she almost bumped into them. When she saw her brother bringing out bags from the back of the taxi, the girl’s breath caught in her throat.
