Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 87: The Liberty Properties

Despite Chloe’s relentless attempts to provoke her, Eleanor remained completely unfazed. She didn’t utter a word in response, her expression unreadable. To her, Chloe was just an old classmate putting on a pitiful performance... a minor distraction while they waited for the manager to arrive. Until then, Chloe’s drama was merely a way to pass the time.

Chloe, however, wasn’t done.

"Did you manage to gather some decent savings?" she asked, eyes narrowing slightly. "I can offer you my employee discount, though I have to warn you, Liberty Properties might still be too expensive for you. As a former classmate, I could try to get you the highest possible discount... but honestly, if you go next door, you’ll find a larger place for the same price. The quality isn’t quite as good, but it’s budget-friendly. You could probably afford that."

She paused, flashing a rehearsed smile before adding, "I might even pull some strings to get you a deal over there."

Chloe spoke in a tone laced with false generosity. In her mind, she was now in a superior position to Eleanor. After all, she had bought a home for her family, while Eleanor was here... house-hunting like an ordinary person. It gave her a fleeting sense of power.

"If you’re looking to rent, you’ve come to the wrong place," she said casually. "We don’t offer rentals here. Come, let’s go next door. I’ll help you find something more affordable."

Teresa finally spoke again, her patience thinning. "Miss, we didn’t come here to buy anything. We’re here to meet someone."

Chloe’s excitement dulled slightly, though she quickly regained her composure and redirected her attention toward Eleanor.

"You really don’t remember me?" she asked, feigning surprise. "I’m Chloe. Chloe Wilkinson. We were classmates in high school. I was the class captain... you must remember that!"

Eleanor finally acknowledged her. "I remember you. And thank you for the offer," she replied flatly, her face a mask of indifference.

Teresa added helpfully, "We came to meet the manager."

Just then, a voice called from the doorway, slightly out of breath. "That would be me."

A middle-aged man with a protruding belly stepped into the room, wiping sweat from his brow. He had clearly rushed to the office.

Chloe immediately straightened up. "Manager Thompson! Good morning," she said politely.
