My Roommate Starved for a Rich Marriage Chapter 10
Chad worked with the other three victims from the mountain for the lawsuit, and with the video recordings, group chat history, and outpatient records I provided, we managed to put together a complete chain of evidence.When the lawyers handed the information to the district attorney's office, they also invited the media to spread the news.The Langfords retaliated quickly, starting with threats. I was continually harassed for a week by an unknown number, and suspicious cars kept appearing below my condo. I requested police witness protection and passed all the recordings I had to the district attorney's office.After that, they tried bribing me. A lawyer claiming to represent the Langfords met with me and offered me a million dollars in exchange for my silence. I recorded our conversation and handed the evidence to the district attorney in charge of the case.Their last resort was publicity. They revealed online that Chad and the others volunteered for the vigil, regretted it halfw

During the coming autumn, I had just completed the first semester of my course, and I was busy working on my thesis research at my condo when I received a call from an unknown number. "Hello, is this Mr. Evan Jacobs?""Yes, this is me.""I am calling from Hall and Oates Law Firm. Our client requested that we contact you. He hopes to talk to you about something important that he claims has to do with your safety. Our client's name is Chad Kranz."My fingers gripped hard on my phone. Had Chad finally come down from the mountain?"Chad hired lawyers?""Yes, he did, Mr. Jacobs. He hopes that you will have an unofficial meeting tomorrow at 2 p.m. at our law firm. He says he has information regarding the Langfords that he would like to share with you in person."I was silent for a while. "All right. I will be there."The next day, I arrived at the law firm on time. When the doors to the meeting room opened, I almost could not recognize the person in front of me. Chad had gotten plumpe

Chad's father remained on the hospital bed with his lower body losing all senses, and he became so deep in debt that he would never be able to pay it back for the rest of his life.Greta found out about this after she was released, and she stood trembling in the hospital corridor. She went crazy, convinced that I was the cause of all their bad luck. "I am going to kill him. My family's luck will return once he is dead."She found a dirty bucket below the bridge and brought it to an organic waste depot to steal a full bucket of swill. Greta took time to track my daily schedule, and when night came, she hid behind a bush on a path I always took to the library, 30 minutes before I walked by.That evening, the sky had turned dark when I came out of the library, and I caught a strange shadow behind the bush from the corner of my eye. I had developed a sort of sixth sense in my past life that prompted me to pause in my tracks.A black bucket was raised from behind the bush, and a horribl

On the third week after Chad was taken up the mountains, he called me on the phone.It was 2 a.m. when an unknown number appeared on my screen. I hesitated for a second before picking up. Wind whistled in the background, followed by erratic breathing and teeth chattering."E… Evan…" It was Chad, sounding hoarse and weak."Yes, it is me," I replied with indifference as I leaned back against my bed."Co… Come and save me…" I stayed silent. He gulped and continued, "I… I know I did you wrong before… But… But you cannot leave me in the lurch like this… Co… Come get me from the mountain and… And I will give you anything you want…"His attitude changed right away, and his arrogance returned. "Get me a down jacket and several pies. No, make it a roast chicken. It has been two days since I last ate. The housekeeper punished me for stealing fruits used for prayers by making me fast for three days.""Chad." I laughed from under the covers. "Were you not trying to attain enlightenment by pr

The Kranzes lost everything overnight while trying to pay back all the gifts they had received, and they did not have enough to do it. The jeweler's two‑million‑dollar cheque alone emptied all their savings, and dozens of debtors were still left. The Kranzes had no choice but to sell their old house for cheap to pay their debts.I was finally free to go ahead with my plans.The audio recording of Sally forcing me to sign the document to give up my postgraduate spot was still saved on my phone. It was too slow to lodge a complaint through the university, and Sally would have minimized the consequences because she had connections there.I decided to email the audio recording, the picture of the code words I jotted down on the document, and the screenshot of all the ridiculous comments Chad made in the group chat to the District Education Department Inspector General's Office.After 14 days, a notice was pinned on the university's notice board.[Resident Advisor, Sally Chutnam, has b

Everyone held their breath as Charles' voice boomed in the silent hall. "It has been foretold that the heiress of the Langfords was born to jinx those closest to her. The dying wish of the old matriarch of the Langfords was to find someone of pure vitality and strength with a purified body that had not been contaminated by any flesh and blood to represent our heiress at the Langfords' ancestral site in Brodren Mountain to keep vigil for a year as a vegetarian."The smile on Chad's face froze, and his hand paused midair. I watched as his eyes widened. "What?" Chad muttered.Charles folded the paper in his hands on stage and motioned with his hand. Four bodyguards in black appeared from both sides and approached Chad."Brodren Mountain," Greta repeated with a blank look before she snapped out of it. "Wait. That is not right. You are supposed to get a son‑in‑law. Who said anything about keeping vigil? The Langfords lied to us."Greta dashed up the stage and tried to grab Charles by th
