Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

The landlord's brother started as he looked at stack of bills. Rose's moth hung open a bit, her expression incredulous. Since when had this man been so generous as to cough up this much money for two months back rent?

"Landlord, do I need to teach you proper manner again?"Erwin reminded her casually.

After receiving the money, the landlord's brother carefully counted and examined the bills, verifying their authenticity before smiling.

"Fine,fine, l know what to do~"

Who would argue with money? The landlord's brother quickly returned the money she received from Sam Jones.

"Sorry, young man. I'll return the fifty thousand!"

Sam saw his money being handed back. Which was a face-loser, especially in front of his new girlfriend, making him slightly annoyed.

"This kid wants to seem wealthier than I am, haha, quite an ego." Sam didn't bother responding to Erwin or care about the rent money.

To outdo Erwin and impress Rose, Sam said to her at his side, "Darling, how about I buy a house in Oak Bay tomorrow? Not like someone who can only rent and never succeeds."

"Really? Sam you are so good to me "Rose perked up, her disdain for Erwin growing as she compared him to Sam, who seemed utterly useless.

"Do you know the price of a house in Oak Bay? At least two billion,you wouldn't be able to afford it even if you worked hard all your life and now you dare to posture in front of me, haha." Sam mocked Erwin with a look full of scorn.

"Erwin, that hundred thousand must be borrowed, you don't even have a job now, I can't imagine what kind of life I'd have if I stayed with you. Luckily, I broke up with you, otherwise I'd surely be poor." Rose joined in the mocking.

Erwin frowned but remained indifferent to their taunts. He remembred that the Oak Bay community was, in fact, real estate owned by the High Build Group so wasn't that his father's asset? The General Manager of that group was Adam Brown, his assistant.

Considering this, Erwin smiled at the corner of his mouth. "Rose, I hope you won't regret your choice today."

"Haha, me regret? You think too much, leaving you is the smartest decision I've made," Rose said ruthlessly, and with that, she clung to Sam's arm, dragged her suitcase and quickly left the hallway without looking back.

Erwin shook his head, no longer concerned about Rose, as he looked forward to his fiancee, the famous celebrity Jocelyn.

Upon returning to his rented home, Erwin checked the cupboard and began looking for the courier package his parents had sent.

"The package I received are always stored in the shoe cabinet, why isn't it there now?" Erwin searched anxiously. Fortunately, he finally found it in the shoe cabinet.

It was a document from JNE Express, thin and lightweight to the touch, but if one felt it carefully, the presence of a card inside was noticeable.
