The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 506

“This family has been illegally squatting in my house for six years. There's no way you didn't notice, yet you let them stay. What do you mean? Is this how you protect homeowners' rights?”

The property manager was baffled. “They said you agreed to let them stay here, Ms. Laurier.”

“They said I agreed, so I agreed? Shouldn't you at least have called me to confirm?”

“Because of your previous relationship… we just assumed…”

Penelope took a deep breath. Because she had previously lived in the community as Mrs. Sullivan, the property management knew of her connection to the Sullivan family. So when they moved into her house, they naturally assumed she had approved it.

There was no point in pursuing it further. After expressing her anger, Penelope told them to get the Sullivans out of her house immediately.

“I have no relationship with them anymore. Please remember that!”

With that, Penelope turned and walked away.

Evicting the Sullivans was the property management's job. She didn't need to get her own hands dirty.

“Penelope, you can't be so heartless! If you kick us out, we'll have nowhere to live! We have the old and the young with us, can you really bear to see us out on the streets?”

Mrs. Sullivan's smugness vanished, and she ran after Penelope, begging.

Seeing Penelope's resolute expression, she dropped to her knees with a thud.

“Penelope, please, have a heart, give us a chance to survive! I'm begging you, for old times' sake! I was good to you at times, wasn't I? Don't kick us out! If we leave here, we really have nowhere else to go!”

“Mom, don't make things difficult for Penelope. Let's just leave on our own,” Zebulon said, moving to pull Mrs. Sullivan up.

“Zebulon, hurry up and beg Penelope! Even if it's just for two or three days, so we can find another place to stay!”

The property management team was efficient. Not long after she left, she heard Mrs. Sullivan shouting, “Stop that! Don't throw our things out! This is my home! Get out of here!”

Later that day, the property management called to inform her that the Sullivans had been removed from the property, and all their belongings had been cleared out as well.

Meanwhile, Buck couldn't hold up under police questioning. He confessed everything about how Rebecca had paid him to frame Hannah.

Rebecca was subsequently taken into police custody, where she had no choice but to confess as well.

Everything was resolved quickly. The Bishop Group sent over a new person in charge, the construction company was replaced, and the project could finally move forward.

Once Hannah was discharged from the hospital, it was time for Penelope to head back.

But the day before she was set to leave, she got a call from Donald.
