The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 211

After Janice opened the door, Kendra barrelled in like a wild animal being chased. As soon as she stepped inside, she blurted out, "Mr. Evans, someone's trying to snatch our house away. What should we do?"

Shelley and Cordelia were puzzled; the house Kendra was referring to must be the one Ronan had given them.

When Olen saw Kendra, his recently steadied mood went haywire again. His lips were trembling slightly. This woman was Shayla's daughter. He had seen her with his own eyes that year. After Shayla killed her own husband, her daughter appeared and took her mother away. It was just a fleeting glance, but he recognized her.

In Olen's mind, the horrific scene of that year replayed incessantly. Martin was drenched in blood, his guts strewn about, his body chopped into countless pieces scattered around the community. Everyone was terrified. At that time, Signature Estates had just been sold out almost overnight. Olen used the money to buy land and start his business in full swing. While Shayla, holding a knife splattered with fresh blood, was laughing like a demon.

Now Olen could only remember Shayla covered in blood, and he could no longer remember her face. She killed her own husband and ruined Olen's future. Because of this murder, the high-end Signature Estates became a haunted house. The housing prices plummeted, and overnight, all clients were asking Olen for refunds.

The nightmare of the past haunted him and kept him awake at night. Every time he thought about it, he felt his nerves tense. He sat on the sofa, trembling.

"Why are you coming to me if your house got confiscated?" Ronan asked Kendra, sitting on the sofa with squinted eyes.

"Please, Mr. Evans, the house is yours, help us figure something out." Kendra was desperate, grabbing Ronan's hand.

Ronan shrugged off Kendra's hand as if disgusted, pretending to know nothing, "How can I help you if you don't explain what happened?"

Kendra knelt at Ronan's feet, unable to hold back her tears anymore, "Mr. Evans, Mr. Evans, ever since Adrian got money, he's been gambling and lost all the money. Now the house is gone too, and they're coming to take the house."

"Ah…" Shelley covered her chest upon hearing the news. She had been feeling uneasy recently, always feeling that something was about to happen.

"Really? He's outrageous." Ronan said indifferently, "He's not considering your pregnant state."

"Mr. Evans, please, help him." Kendra broke down crying. She originally thought that with this house and eight hundred thousand, Adrian could have a decent future no matter what, but...

"Mom, mom, please beg Mr. Evans." Kendra was surprised to see Shelley there too.
