---- gossip I heard about me. I was also trying to consider how I could clear my name. Sally helped me carry most of my stuff into my place. Once I walked in, she couldn't resist saying, "Ms. Lewis, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but just now, I saw the old woman who nearly crashed into me at the entrance to the neighborhood. She was arguing with the security guard. "She said she wanted to come up and see you, but when the guard asked her to show a code or some kind of proof from you, she couldn't give him any. When I came in with the code you gave me, she glared at me and wanted to come in with me. Because I didn't let her, she pushed me so hard that my entire arm is bruised right now. "She doesn't seem like a nice person. I think you need to keep an eye out." After setting my clothes down, I flashed Sally a grateful smile before taking a bruise treatment spray ---- from the emergency kit by the door. "Thanks, Sally, and don't worry about me. Here. Take this. It's quite effective. You should head back and use it on your bruises to help them heal faster." Sally had to recover as soon as possible, for I wasn't a nice person either. I wanted to replace Tom's Laundromat as soon as possible. After closing the door, I made a phone call. "Dad, when does the rental agreement for the store we're renting to the laundromat run out?" Dad paused for a moment before asking anxiously, " Has someone bullied you, Cassie? Don't worry. I'm here for you. I'll send Samuel right over to help you handle things, and I'll get a team of lawyers ready too. " Samuel was Dad's assistant, Samuel Zeller. I was upset by the rumors, but as I held my phone in my hand now, my mood slowly improved. So what if random people were spreading falsehoods about me? ---- Family mattered the most, and with Dad to support me, I could brave through any obstacle that came my way. "There's someone who's trying to bully me, but don't worry, Dad. I can probably handle it myself. By the way, we're renting out a few units in the building, right? Help me look into the tenants as well. A bunch of people are spreading rumors and causing trouble. I want them to get what they deserve." Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
