Chapter 506
“This family has been illegally squatting in my house for six years. There’s no way you didn’t notice, yet you let them stay. What do you mean? Is this how you protect homeowners’ rights p>
The property manager was baffled. “They said you agreed to let them stay here, Ms. Laurier p>
“They said I agreed, so I agreed? Shouldn’t you at least have called me to confirm?” “Because of your previous relationship… we just assumed p>
Penelope took a deep breath. Because she had previously lived in the community as Mrs. Sullivan, the property management knew of her connection to the Sullivan family. So when they moved into her house, they naturally assumed she had approved it.
There was no point in pursuing it further. After expressing her anger, Penelope told them to get the Sullivans out of her house immediately.
“I have no relationship with them anymore. Please remember that p>
With that, Penelope turned and walked away.
Evicting the Sullivans was the property management’s job. She didn’t need to get her own hands dirty.
“Penelope, you can’t be so heartless! If you kick us out, we’ll have nowhere to live! We have the old and the young with us, can you really bear to see us out on the streets p>
Mrs. Sullivan’s smugness vanished, and she ran after Penelope, begging.
Seeing Penelope’s resolute expression, she dropped to her knees with a thud.
“Penelope, please, have a heart, give us a chance to survive! I’m begging you, for old times’ sake! I was good to you at times, wasn’t I? Don’t kick us out! If we leave here, we really have nowhere else to go p>
“Mom, don’t make things difficult for Penelope. Let’s just leave on our own,” Zebulon said, moving to pull Mrs. Sullivan up.
“Zebulon, hurry up and beg Penelope! Even if it’s just for two or three days, so we can find another place to stay p>
“Just let it go p>
“Look at your father, he’s still in a wheelchair! And Yolanda, she’s so little. She’ll get sick if she has nowhere to sleep at night p>
Zebulon sighed several times. “Penelope, I’m begging you. Give us two or three days’ grace. Just two or three days is all we need p>
Penelope scoffed. They were asking for two or three days, but she knew if she agreed, they would just shamelessly continue to live here and never leave.
She had absolutely no trust left in the Sullivans’ character.
“I think I’ve given you more than enough time. You haven’t bothered to look for a house, which makes it obvious you plan on squatting here. In that case, I see no reason to pity you p>
With that, she strode away.
Zebulon chased after her, continuing to plead, but she didn’t spare him another glance.
The property management team
was efficient. Not long after she left,
she heard Mrs
Sullivansho
“Stop that! Don’t throw our things
outh This is my home! Get out of
here p>
Later that day, the property
management called to inform her
that the Sullivans had been removed
from the property, and all their belongings had been cleared out as well.
Meanwhile, Buck couldn’t hold up under police questioning. He confessed
everything about how Rebecca had paid him to frame Hannah.
Rebecca was subsequently taken into police custody, where she had no choice but to confess as well.
Everything was resolved quickly. The Bishop Group sent over a new person in charge, the construction company was replaced, and the project could finally move forward.
Once Hannah was discharged from the hospital, it was time for Penelope to head back.
But the day before she was set to leave, she got a call from Donald.
