My father said from the other end, “Dwight, you’re all alone there. I’m worried you’ll suffer. Don’t worry, I’ll send someone over right away!”
My mother spoke quickly from the other end of the line.
A few years ago, because my mother’s company was developing exceptionally well and even had promising prospects, she moved the company overseas. At that time, I was already engaged to Maxine.
However, I had a lot of business at my mother’s company, so we agreed that after I finished my overseas work, I would return to Stellis to marry her.
I still remembered the day I left. Maxine held my hand and looked incredibly reluctant to let me go. She said she’d wait for me to return and give me a perfect wedding.
But I never expected that after just a year away, Maxine would become so unfamiliar.
She even thought I was throwing a tantrum and getting jealous of her secretary.
At that moment, I was filled with disappointment in Maxine.
My mother told me she’d have a lawyer handle this matter. After all, she bought this house for me and the purchase records were in her possession.
As for the property deed being overseas, my secretary had taken a photo and sent it to me.
So, my house was definitely in my name.
As for why Garth could go to the property management office with a copy of the deed and claim it was his, I already had a theory.
Six months ago, Maxine mentioned that she needed help with my house. I didn’t think much of it at the time, even assuming she was just setting up our wedding room.
So, I gave Maxine the key to my house. Even when she asked for a copy of the deed, I didn’t think twice and took a photo and sent it to her. Apparently, Garth had used the photo from that copy to create a false certificate.
Now, thinking about this, my eyes were filled with anger.
As I anxiously waited, Maxine arrived with Garth.
As soon as she got out of the car, she walked straight towards me and berated me.
“Dwight, how long are you going to make such a fuss? Isn’t it just borrowing your house? Are you really so stingy? Besides, that house is our wedding house. I have the right to dispose of it!”
Maxine looked at me, her eyes filled with anger. “I lent it to Garth’s father. What’s the problem? Can you bear to see an old man living on the streets?”
I listened to Maxine’s accusations with a sneer on my face. “Maxine, if you want to be a good person, lend out your own house. Why lend out my wedding house? Do you know what he’s doing in my wedding house?” I demanded loudly.
Maxine was stunned upon hearing this, then she said coldly, “What could an old man like him do in the bridal chamber? Even if he damaged something, I can just pay to fix it! You called me back from work just because of such a small matter?”
At this moment, Maxine looked at me coldly and said, “Dwight, you’re so naive. I think I need to reconsider my engagement with you!”
I laughed in anger at Maxine’s words.
My engagement with her was arranged by my parents at the behest of Mr. Mike.
After all, the Hargraves Family relied on my family to rise. It was safe to say that without my family’s financial support, the Hargraves Family wouldn’t have been able to survive.
At the time, I was extremely pleased with Maxine, so I readily agreed.
But she felt that I truly couldn’t leave her.
