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’re coming along whether you like it or not.”

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

lan noticed he didn’t ask about Penny, so there was no need to piss him off right now.

“Got it, Grandpa.”

Leaving the old house, lan stared blankly 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 saw lan return and immediately fetched a beautifully

wrapped gift.

“Sir, this was sent over by Tyler.”

lan took it casually, without opening it.

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.

lan’s face darkened instantly, and he chucked the book away.

But the book ended up on the bedside table.

He should not trust Tyler.

He grabbed his laptop from the side, climbed into bed, and started typing. He worked on a few documents, then

shut down the computer.

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 the lamp 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?”

lan thought about the answer, realizing that everyone around him could swim, so if he were with Penny, 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 to come find him.

So he called Jeff in the morning.

“You said I gave a piece of land 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 did last night. Although they signed a simple contract, it didn’t have legal

force.

“It’s not signed.”

“We need to take back the land. The rent from that land 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 the land we rented to you, the CEO has changed his mind; we will refund your money.”

Maja was caught off guard by lan’s move.

She had paid the rent, even communicated with the decoration company, bought the materials, and all the small

rooms in the community were under decoration and could be moved in within two months. Even Meetman had

chosen his room. Now that lan said he wouldn’t rent it to her, how much would she lose?

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

Next, she would have to look for land 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.,

the company 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 for land again.

lan was deliberately making trouble for her.

“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 a lack 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 knew lan was getting back at her, but why was he getting back at her?

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

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