A NEW HOUSE

Seeing Sonia's reaction, Mia chuckled coldly and said, "Whoever is the mistress knows it in their heart. Besides, this is the first time I've seen such a blatant mistress berating her ex-boyfriend. Truly shameless!"

Mia had always been fearless, and with a few words, she left Sonia speechless.

Furious and trembling, Sonia was about to retort but was stopped by the middle-aged man with her. "Miss, what did you mean by ex-boyfriend? Who is Sonia's ex-boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Sonia suddenly seemed to remember something and panicked. "Nothing, nothing! He's just an old classmate! It's nothing! Let's just leave!"

Sonia hurriedly tried to pull the bewildered middle-aged man away, but Mia continued coldly, "You said Liam was your ex-boyfriend, but how did you know he drives for Uber?"

Hearing Mia's words, the middle-aged man seemed to realize something, grabbed Sonia, and said sternly, "Sonia, didn't you say you never had a boyfriend? How do you explain this?"

Sonia's wrist was gripped painfully by the middle-aged man, tears welling up in her eyes. She cried, "He was just a schoolmate, really not my boyfriend. Please believe me!"

Sonia was indeed making things up. She and Liam were indeed just schoolmates.

Seeing Sonia like this, the middle-aged man seemed to soften a bit, loosening his grip and preparing to comfort her. But Mia spoke again, "Just a schoolmate? You initially claimed to know Liam, and now you're saying he was just a schoolmate? Your words don't add up!"

"Moreover, how does a mere schoolmate know Liam drives for Uber? You seem very interested in his life!"

Feeling the increasingly cold gaze from the middle-aged man, Sonia panicked even more and hastily explained, "It's really like I said, we are just schoolmates. Please believe me!"

Mia added, "Sir, do you know how you met her and what she wants from you? Can someone like her really be as pure as she appears?"

Indeed, the middle-aged man's eyes flickered with doubt. After a moment, he got angry and threw Sonia off him, saying, "Leave! I don't want to see you again!"

Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Sonia's face turned pale. She chased after him, trying to win him back, but a single "Scram!" sent her falling to the ground in fear.

At that moment, it seemed like all her dreams of wealth were slipping away.

As for Liam and the others, they ignored Sonia and returned to the Fortune Garden Villa.

Lynn stayed at Liam's place, but Mia chose to stay at school since she had a boyfriend and it wouldn't be appropriate to stay with Liam.

That night, Liam completed his third check-in.

"Another villa in Fortune Garden?" Liam frowned.

He already had enough houses. Even if he got another one, he could only sell it. He couldn't just invite all his friends to live with him out of boredom.

Since he couldn't sell it, he decided to rent it out.

Liam posted the property information on a random rental site but didn't expect much.

Renting such a high-end property was tricky. Poor people couldn't afford it, and the rich didn't need it, putting it in an awkward position.

To Liam's surprise, the listing was rented out within an hour!

After a brief chat online with the tenant, who seemed very interested, the tenant transferred the rent without even seeing the house.

Liam quickly checked his phone and confirmed the bank notification.

"Your card number 62176723 has received a transfer of 2,000,000 credits. Your bank balance is now 2,000,150 credits."

Two million credits in rent for the villa in Fortune Garden for a year!

The tenant was indeed wealthy, transferring two million credits without batting an eye!

Liam was still a bit nervous, as it was the first time he had received such a large sum since opening this bank account.

According to the online conversation, the tenant would move in the next day, so Liam went to tidy up the villa a bit, feeling responsible as the landlord.

The next morning, Liam was woken up by a noise.

He opened his eyes to see Lynn standing there, smiling at him.

The young girl was as serene and beautiful as ever, wearing a light blue dress. The morning breeze blew through her hair, making her look stunning.

"Liam, you're awake?"

"Breakfast is ready. Come eat!"

"Oh, okay."

Liam, a typical bachelor, wasn't used to being taken care of by a girl, especially one still in school.

After washing up in a daze, he sat at the dining table and said to Lynn, "You don't need to do this. I helped you because we have a connection, and I had an extra room. That's all."

Liam knew Lynn was acting this way because he let her stay in his house. He didn't want her to feel burdened, as if he were treating her like a maid. Although Liam liked the idea of having a maid to serve him.

But Lynn didn't seem to hear him. She handed him a piece of toast with jam, looking expectant.

"Liam, try my cooking. Is it good?"

Seeing her like this, Liam shook his head. It seemed he couldn't change her mind, so he didn't say more and took a bite of the toast.
