Chapter 323 Fooling With Her

Seven days later, Serena and Leah finally chose all the paintings, decorations, and furniture for the

studio.

The two of them were driving up to the studio to check on the progress of the renovation.

"The renovation started three days ago. I found you a top-notch construction team; I believe it will be

finished in another three days."

Serena casted Leah a complacent look; Leah was thankful of her, and she said, "Thank you."

Serena was not happy that Leah was overly polite with her. "We're friends; you don't have to thank

me!"

Leah felt happy to have such a friend, and she smiled happily at her.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the door of the studio.

The studio was located on the main street, and the surrounding area was lively, as there were many

people hanging around.

The landlord was kind to Leah; not only was the rent lower than usual, but he even treated her as his

friend.

Serena was happy to rent the studio at a lower price too; she said, "This place is really strategic, and I

believe our business will be very good!"

Leah grinned and said, "Yes!" Everything would be getting better.

The sky was dark for the whole morning; finally it rained.

When Leah and Serena got down from the car, they saw that most of the house decorations and

furniture were being thrown outside.

"What's going on?" Both of them frowned.

At that time, a few muscular men threw several pieces of furniture out of the studio.

They bought one of the sofas seven days ago.

"Hurry up and throw them all away! Our boss's furniture will be arriving tomorrow." Hearing the man's

words, Leah's face darkened, and she quickly stepped forward to stop them.

"Who are you? Why are you all throwing my stuff away? This is my rented office!"

Serena stood closely behind Leah, and she snorted, "You have violated the law by destroying other

people's property without permission!"

They did not back up at all; in fact, they looked at the two of them mockingly.

"You rented the studio? Don't be ridiculous, my boss bought this place!"

"The two of you seemed poor; I don't think you can afford the rental here!"

"Also, the landlord said that the unnecessary things inside can be cleaned up. So why did you accuse

us of destroying other people's property?"

Hearing his words, Serena was taken aback. "Leah, what's going on?"

Leah was also very surprised; her face crumpled, and she answered, "I'll ask the landlord what's going

on."

Then she called the landlord.

"Hello, Ms. White." He picked up the call in an instant, as if he were expecting it.

She briefly explained to him about the incident, and she asked with a frown, "May I know what's going

on? You're the one who rented it to me and asked me to start the renovation immediately."

Out of her expectation, the landlord laughed at her. "Ms. White, are you serious? Do you think you can

rent my place for one thousand dollars only? Mr. Wade rented my place for five million dollars! You

should hang out if you have nothing else to say."

She was startled by the landlord's answer, and she questioned angrily, "Since you think I'm not paying

enough, why did you agree to rent it to me?"

The landlord did not panic after hearing her accusation; he snorted, "I didn't agree to rent it to you all;

you can go and sue me if you have the rental contract."

"Well, Ms. White, you're quite pretty... You can sleep with me in exchange for renting my other

property..."

His nasty words completely enraged her. She hung up on him.

The men were laughing at her. "Ha, ha! Didn't we tell you that this place is rented?"

"Hurry up and get the f*ck off! The two of you can take all the furniture here as a donation! Ha, ha, ha."

Serena dragged Leah back to the car before they were humiliated further.

The rain was getting heavy; Leah felt that her heart was bleeding seeing her furniture being thrown out

of the studio."

Everything was in vain. All my money and efforts...

Those pieces of furniture had been soaked by the rain, and they can only be treated as defective

products.

Serena could not bear to see Leah's depressed face. She gently hugged her and said, "It's okay; I'll

help you find a better place. And we should file a police report and a lawsuit for the damaged furniture."

Leah smiled wryly and shook her head; she was demotivated. "It will take a long time to get our money

back, and the lawyer's fee will cost a lot."

"And I did not sign a contract with the landlord. He promised to rent it to me over the phone, and I didn't

record it."

Serena's face crumpled as she heard his words. She asked, "So you can't get back any amount of

money?"

Leah was speechless, and she nodded.

She did not have the time and money to file a lawsuit; she was already heavily in debt.

Serena sighed; she should have asked to view the rental contract back then.

"I will try my best to help you win the lawsuit." "We should call the landlord again and make him admit

his act, and we should record the entire conversation."

Although hope was slim, she still wanted to fight for it.

Leah's eyes were filled with tears upon hearing Serena's words. She lowered her head to prevent being

caught crying. "O-Okay…"

Serena hugged her lightly and patted her on the back. "I'll send someone to collect evidence and take

away this furniture, and then refurbish it."

The two of them left, and Serena called trucks from the moving company to take away the rain-soaked

furniture and temporarily store it in her warehouse.

Leah was grateful for everything she had done for herself; at least she had a friend like this.

"Thank you; I will treat you to dinner tomorrow."

Serena did not reject her; she smiled and nodded. "Okay."

She did not want to make Leah feel bad, as if she owed her a favor.

That night, the landlord smirked and dialed a number after seeing all of Leah's things gone from his

place.

The phone was picked up shortly, and he said respectfully, "Ms. Lancaster, I've fooled Leah so hard

that I think she should be crying by now. So, the money..."

"Not bad; my men had reported it to me. I'll bank the money and give it to you in thirty minutes."

The landlord grinned while hearing her say, "Okay. If you want to fool with her in the future, feel free to

contact me!"
