Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 94 Let’s Become Friends

Toward the end of the workday, Erin’s phone rang. It was a call from May.

Although they were no longer running the online shop together or sharing a rented apartment, they were still relatives, so Erin answered the call.

As soon as she picked up, May started cursing. “Erin, are you fucking serious? What kind of shitty house did you rent? The landlord sold the house shortly after we rented it! Now the landlord is pressuring me to move out! How am I supposed to find a new place in such a short time?”

May started to direct her anger at Cherry. Erin’s face immediately fell when she heard that. “May Chapman, you’d better watch your mouth! My mom didn’t provoke you.”

May toned it down slightly at Erin’s words. “I’m just really stressed out. Didn’t the landlord assure us when we signed the lease that they wouldn’t sell the house in the near future? Why did they change their mind?”

Erin could sympathize with May’s current situation. After all, she was the one who had signed the lease, so she felt partly responsible.

“Calm down. I’ll call the landlord to find out the situation. I’ll call you back later.”

“Alright, I’ll be waiting for your update.”

After hanging up, Erin felt a sense of helplessness. It seemed that the new landlord, Chandler, was eager to drive her cousin

out.

She had asked him about it when she returned to the villa. That night, Chandler was able to visit her place because the landlord had secretly sold the house to him.

After all, it was hard for anyone to resist selling when someone offered a significantly higher price than the market value.

He had initially bought that house for Erin. Now that Erin had returned to the villa, Chandler naturally treated that ordinary residential property as disposable trash.

After moments of contemplation, Erin decided to discuss the matter with Chandler when she returned to the villa in the

evening.
