Riches in Disguise

With the White family's top-notch legal team, handling a labor dispute was child's play.

We reached the door when the man with glasses chased after us. "Wait! I want my compensation..."

I turned around suddenly and glared at him. "You'd better get lost and leave me alone. If you keep bothering me, I'll make you regret it!"

He was instantly stunned by my fierce look. He opened his mouth but didn't dare say another word.

"Let's go." I grabbed Jane's hand and left the restaurant. "Is there any good food around here?"

She replied, "There's a seafood pasta place nearby that's pretty good."noveldrama

"Let's eat there."

I was starving. Since I didn't get to eat the seafood boil, seafood pasta would have to do.

We walked into the seafood pasta restaurant and took our seats. After placing my order, I crossed my arms and looked at Jane sternly. She lowered her head, nervously fiddling with her fingers, not daring to look at me.

"I understand that you want to be independent, but at least wait until you graduate high school. You can do whatever you want during the summer after graduation, and I won't stop you.

"Once you're in college, though, you need to focus. University is the best opportunity to study. After you graduate, you won't have the time for it."

Jane nodded gently.

I gave her a firm order. "Starting today, you won't work anymore. Focus on your studies. If you're really bored, you can start preparing for university courses. It'll help you with your high school studies, too."

She nodded again.

I decided not to scold her further when I saw how obedient she was. Instead, I inquired, "You came out here to work. So I guess you're not living at Imperia Manor anymore?"

She nodded. "Imperia Manor is too far from the city center. It's not convenient for me to get around."

"Where are you living now?"

"I rented a place near the school."

"After we finish eating, take me there."

As I thought about it, I realized that I had no suitable place for Jane to live.

I had bought a few properties, but they were all in the suburbs, which wouldn't be convenient for her. Moreover, with her background, living in a villa would probably make her uncomfortable.

It seemed like I needed to help her rent a place.

However, she didn't even want to accept gifts for her education, wanting to be independent. Would she feel even more indebted if I helped her rent a place?

I considered simply buying a

building to turn it into rental

apartments and letting her live in

one of them. This way, I could better control the building's tenants and ensure that the environment was

safe and decent.

With that thought in mind, I pulled out my phone and shared the idea with Mason.

I had been bothering Victor too

much lately, so I didn't want to trouble him anymore. Instead, contacted Mason, who had recently made a profit by helping me with The Dragonshade Society business.

"Mr. White, you want to buy an entire apartment building?"

"Yes. Please help me find one near Groton High, preferably in a quiet area."

He replied There are three apartment buildings near Groton High, but only one fits your criteria. However, the owner of this building is hard to deal with, and the price might be tough to negotiate."

"I don't mind paying a bit more as long as it's not outrageous."

After all, once the building is rented out, I would earn it back in a few years as

long as the market was good. So, I wasn't too worried about the cost.
