Chapter 231
I replied firmly, “Yeah, I want to try It”
“You got this.” His gaze held mine, unwavering as he spoke.
A genuine happiness bubbled inside me, and I sincerely said, “Thank you so much!”
Even though he downplayed it, I could still imagine the great effort he had put in to recover Janedream.
Mark let out a resigned laugh. “What are you thanking me for? I also wanted your parents‘ company back, but they wouldn’t budge.”
*This is more than enough,” I insisted eamestly. “Having Janedream back is all that matters.”
*Glad I could help,” he sighed, walking over to the entrance to look outside before turning back to me with a slight frown. “Jane, do your have a rag?”
I asked, “What’s wrong?”
“The cleaners missed a spot. I’ll clean it up. It’s blood. I don’t want it to freak you out.”
“It’s okay.” I said as I gathered the documents into a folder and placed it on the coffee table. “Don’t worry about it. I probably be moving out in a few days anyway.”
The house in Riverview Estate was mine, according to the divorce settlement. But dealing with Bryant meant endless trouble. Today, it was Dorothy. The next day, it could be Margaret or Teresa.

“Absolutely.” Mark smiled. “How about I show you the place tomorrow?”
“No need to see it.” I declined with a grin. “I trust your judgment. It must be a cool spot if you say so. But to be clear, I’ll pay you the rent as usual. How much were you asking for it?”
“Okay, then. III take advantage of the opportunity to rip you off,” Mark extended his hand. “Five thousand a month.
Deciding to move sooner rather than later, especially with Dorothy’s attitude, I began packing my belongings.
When I first moved into the house in Riverview Estate, it was with a few suitcases, and it was the same by then. My life hadn’t
accumulated much else.

These days, I felt like a spinning top, constantly whirling around due to various issues, never having a moment to live well.
The next day. Mark came over early to help me move. After we arrived at the place and opened the door, I realized Mark wasn’t ripping me off, and I was getting the better end of the deal.
The apartment was comparable to the one in Riverview Estate. Located in a similarly desirable area, the rent of the place should have been at least twenty thousand a month for its size and layout. Moreover, the place looked brand new, as if no one had ever lived there.
