Chapter 4

"Okay, then go ahead and sue me. As long as you win, I'll give you as much as you want."

"I heard that a few hundred dollars a month is enough. It's not that I can't afford it."

"By the way, I heard that I can also give you supplies. I'll buy you a rag worth 100 dollars, and the law will approve of it. You can sue me!"

My mother was so angry that she cursed on the phone.

"You are ungrateful son, just you wait. Landon will beat you to death when he comes back and reads the lawyer's letter."

"Ask Landon to come. I'll be waiting for him."

After hanging up the phone, the neighbor came to the door with fruits in his hand. It was a girl who was a little older than him. I thought that I might meet her somewhere before.

"Hello, I'm Irene Gilen, the neighbor next door."

I suddenly realized that she was the host of Locaster's TV station.

"Hello. I'm Carl Taylor. Come in please."

She waved her hand and said, "No, I'm just here to say hello to you. Our class reunion will be at my house. I'm afraid I'll disturb you later. Please forgive me."

I smiled. "It's okay."

She looked at me and smiled. "Hey, you're about the same age as us. Why don't you come over and play with us?"

"At first, I thought there were the elders living here."

I wanted to refuse, but Irene was so enthusiastic that she pulled me away.

The housekeeper was at home, so I didn't care much. I went to change my shoes, and Irene said that she was fine, so I went to her house in slippers.

When I entered, there were already many people sitting in her house. She introduced me as her neighbor. We were all adults and soon chatted and barbecued together.

I didn't expect Irene to be Lisa's classmate.

Lisa came with Landon. When Lisa came in and saw me, she immediately rushed over.

"Carl, how did you find this place?"

I smiled and watched her make threatening gestures.

Irene didn't know about our relationship. She pulled Lisa over and prepared to introduce her to me.

But Lisa was a quick talker. She looked at the crowd and said, "This is what I complained to you about. My husband's elder brother who is unmarried and lost his job to and wants to live by his parents."

"I'm really sorry. I didn't expect him to follow us."

Everyone present knew that I was Irene's neighbor.

Since we were neighbors, I lived in this villa area.

This didn't seem to match what Lisa had described.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
