Who Said You Could Raise Rent? Chapter 9
Lily gripped William’s arm. "You can't walk away!" she screamed, "This family is already gone. If you leave too, what am I supposed to do?"William looked down at her with hollow eyes."This family didn't fall apart today," he said quietly, "It fell apart the moment you started lying to Kyle over and over again, enabling every single thing he did."With that, he pried her fingers loose.Then, step by step, he walked out into the cold night.Lily sat alone on the ground as the loan documents scattered across the pavement.All the pride and social standing she had fought so desperately to protect were completely gone, leaving nothing behind.Through the small, reinforced glass of the holding cell, Kyle watched his mother's pathetic collapse.He didn't scream anymore.He just slowly buried his face in his hands.In that heavy silence, he finally understood.Not everyone would stick around to clean up your messes forever.Parents grew old.Money ran out.Every single lie ev

Lily choked up for a second.However, she soon wiped away her tears and shot back, "You're a wealthy man now."Isn't it the duty of the rich to help out those who have nothing?"Kyle has lost everything. Since you have so much money, what would it hurt to let him live in this apartment for free for a few years?"Once he passes his grad school exams and gets his life together, he'll definitely pay you back."Before I could say a word, William slammed his hand down hard on the table."Will you shut your damn mouth?!"Lily jumped, startled.William’s eyes were bloodshot."You borrowed millions, and you've completely hollowed out our entire family."And now you expect a stranger to step up and feed your son for free?"Do you even know what dignity means anymore?"Lily started weeping even louder."Who do you think I did all this for?"I did it for this family! I did it for our son!"William stared at her, his voice dropping into a cold, heavy whisper."You weren't doing it
Who Said You Could Raise Rent? Chapter 7
Mason started sweating even harder, desperation creeping into his voice. "Liam, man, I've lived in this building for two years, you know I'm usually a quiet, decent guy. I can work as your security guard or help you collect rent. I won't even ask for a salary, I just want to keep living here. Can you cut me some slack on the rent?"I looked straight at him. "When you were grinding my shoes into the dirt, why didn't you think about today?"Mason’s fake smile completely froze. "I'll pay for them," he stammered, "I'll buy you a brand-new pair, ten pairs if you want!""You can't replace those shoes."I pulled up a screenshot of the hallway security footage on my phone. "Besides, your lease on your apartment expires next month. Don't bother renewing it."The color vanished entirely from Mason's face. "Liam, you can't do this to me. My job is right around the corner. Moving is such a massive pain."I kept my voice completely level. "When you were smashing up someone else's front door
Who Said You Could Raise Rent? Chapter 6
Kyle's face flushed a violent, burning red.Above all else, he had wanted Paige's approval.Yet at the end of the day, Paige had never respected him for a single second.His prized sports cars, his luxury watches, his high-rolling landlord lifestyle—to Paige, it was all nothing more than a pathetic, clumsy act.Downstairs, the wailing siren of an ambulance cut through the air.Paramedics hurried up the stairs carrying a stretcher. As Mrs. Gable was carefully lifted onto it, she reached out and caught my hand."Don't you worry about me, Liam," she whispered, "These old bones of mine aren't that fragile."I looked down at her pale face, a heavy knot tightening in my chest."Focus on getting better, Mrs. Gable," I said, "I'll take care of all the medical expenses."She shook her head over and over. "We can't have that. You weren't the one who pushed me."I tucked the blanket securely around her. "You got hurt because you were standing up for me."I'm not going to let you suffer
Who Said You Could Raise Rent? Chapter 5
The police officers took one look at the splintered door frame and then at Mrs. Gable lying on the floor, their expressions instantly hardening."Don't move the injured person, the ambulance is on the way." One of the officers swept his gaze across the hallway. "Who pushed her?"Kyle immediately pointed a shaking finger at Mrs. Gable. "She grabbed me first! I was just defending myself!"Paige stepped forward."Officer, I saw the whole thing," she said clearly, "Kyle pushed her on purpose. After Mrs. Gable fell, he brought a bunch of people inside to trash the place."Several classmates hesitated for a moment before speaking up."I saw it too.""Kyle definitely pushed her.""And that guy Mason stomped on Liam's shoes and helped smash the door."The color drained completely from Mason's face. "I didn't smash anything! I was just standing around watching!"The police officer's voice cut through the noise like ice. "Whether you were involved or not, the security cameras will tell
Who Said You Could Raise Rent? Chapter 4
The middle-aged man’s eyes were bloodshot as he rushed into the room and grabbed Kyle by the collar.The chair in Kyle’s hands hit the floor with a loud clatter."Dad? What are you doing here?" Kyle stammered, his voice cracking, "Aren't you in Dubai negotiating business?"William struggled to hold back his tears, but they soon came streaming down his cheeks. He looked at the son he and his wife had spoiled rotten, and raised his hand.“Smack!”A brutal slap cracked across Kyle’s face.Kyle staggered backward from the force, blood instantly welling up at the corner of his mouth.Total silence paralyzed the room.Kyle clutched his stinging cheek, his eyes wide with utter disbelief. "Dad, have you lost your mind?"William pointed a shaking finger at him, his voice completely distorted."I’ve lost my mind!" William yelled, "Your mother and I broke our backs working ourselves to the bone so you could get a proper education and grow into a decent human being! But look at yourself
