After that, he pulled a ck pistol from his waist, checking it carefully before stating coldly, “Alright then. Once Charlie arrives, I’ll shoot him in the head without hesitation! I will avenge you immediately!”

    Meanwhile, ire waspletely unaware of the unfolding events.


    She stood by the entrance of the riverside vi, waiting for her mother, when suddenly, she spotted ine hurrying out to greet her.


    ine quickly opened the small gate and eximed, “ire! Come in!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ire waved back at her mother.


    Curiosity got the better of ire, and she asked, “Mom, why haven’t I heard about this friend of yours who lives at the riverside vi before now?”


    The riverside vi, situated along the riverbank, was part of one of Aurous Hill’s upscalemunities. The residents here were affluent and influential, clearly beyond the reach of ine’s usual social circle.


    ine beamed as she replied, “He’s one of my old ssmates. He just bought a vi here and is nning some renovations. He mentioned he has a budget of eight million dors for it! Isn’t that impressive?”


    ire smiled and answered, “Of course! Any home renovation costing over a million dors is a significant deal to me.”


    ine grinned and said, “Great! Let’s go over there now so you can check out the viyout and brainstorm some interior design ideas for the renovation!”<fn82f6> For more chapters visit fin?novel</fn82f6>


    “Sounds perfect!” ire replied eagerly.


    ine then led ire to Vi 8 and rang the doorbell.


    As soon as the door swung open, Jason greeted them with a warm smile. “Hello, ire! It’s been ages since west saw each other.”


    ire was momentarily taken aback, her expression hardening instantly. Ignoring Jason, she turned to ine, who stood directly behind her. “Mom, is this the friend you mentioned?”


    ine responded awkwardly, “Well, ire, don’t be upset. Jason has a surprise for you!”


    Jason quickly nodded and revealed the heart-shaped roses and candles he had set up at the door.


    ire, now visibly angry, confronted ine, saying, “Mom, did you team up with Jason to deceive me?”


    ine rushed to exin, “ire, please let me rify. Jason is genuinely sincere about you…”


    Jason quickly added, “ire, this isn’t your mother’s doing. I asked her to help invite you here today.”


    ire red at ine, her disappointment evident. “Mom, I’m truly disappointed in you!”


    With that, ire turned to leave, ready to walk away.


    However, ine swiftly blocked her path, pleading, “ire, this is all my fault, but I’m not trying to deceive you. I’m doing this for your own benefit. Jason genuinely wants to discuss a potential coboration with you regarding his vi renovation.”


    ire frowned and retorted angrily, “I am not on the same page as him at all!”


    ine shot back, “What are you talking about? Jason has gone out of his way to apologize to you. Look at how considerate he is! Why are you still talking like this?”


    ine persisted, “Since you’re already here, just hear me out. Try tomunicate with Jason, and if it doesn’t work out between you, you can still discuss the renovation project afterward, okay?”


    Before ire could respond, ine gently but firmly pushed her into the vi!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
