Chapter 2146Brodie eked out a smidgen of a smile. “Uh, Mr. Guerrero... I think you might have forgotten about your
signature, so could I ask for you to stamp it on? Thank you. It was an oversight on my part that I've
missed out on that just now, so I feel really bad about having to trouble you about it once again. Do
allow me to make it up to you with a meal next time.”
“Stamp? On what?” Sheldon asked in return.
Brodie's heart skipped a beat for he had the most ominous premonition inside.
“The check. You forgot to endorse it. Without your stamped signature, this check is about as valuable
as a piece of waste paper.”
Back and forth, the check inside his hand was waved several times before Sheldon.
“What are you trying to prove by forging my family's check, Mr. Turner? To think you'd come here
seeking my signature, as well. Haha. Do you think I'm daft?” Sheldon laughed.
Huh?
Brodie's heart almost stalled. This blasted Sheldon Guerrero is really intent on weaseling out of
payment.
Thus, he quickly followed up. “You can't do this, Mr. Guerrero. Being the young proprietor of
Intercontinental Group with a net worth of several billion, you can't possibly risk tarnishing your
credibility over this paltry one million.” “You'd best watch your tongue, Mr. Turner. Accusing me of fraud? Would you believe that I'd sue you
for defamation?” Sheldon snorted.
Mr. Turner dug his heels in. “I'm merely stating the facts here. Doesn't renting my property but cutting
me a bad check amount to fraud?”
“Haha. What a joke. I own more houses than I care to live in, so why should I rent one from you? Do
you figure that I've too much money to burn through?” Sheldon retorted.
Brodie felt his head throbbing. “We have signed a contractual agreement, Mr. Guerrero. Aren't you
worried about the legal repercussions?”
Sheldon regarded Brodie with detachment. “A contract? Where's that? Bring it out and let's have a look
at it.”
I...
Brodie was quite exasperated.
From where am I going to produce the contract that you've friggin taken from me? Damn you, Sheldon,
you cunning bastard.
Though completely played out, Mr. Turner was not about to roll over just like that.
That office building was the last piece of family property to his name so there was no way he was going
to allow Sheldon to bum it off him, especially not when Zeke and Emma were downstairs waiting tohave a laugh at his expense.
Squatting down, Brodie was seemingly ready to throw a fit.
“This is simply too much, Mr. Guerrero! I'm not going to leave your house until you put your stamp on
that check!”
“Well, suit yourself,” Sheldon replied. “You'd insisted that I've sent someone over with the tenancy
agreement to take over your office building, so do you think the authorities are going to come looking
for trouble with me? Seeing that I have got a tenancy agreement in place, my guess is probably not.
Besides, wouldn't I be able to deal with that, considering my standing and all?”
“Damn you...” Unable to stomach any more of this, Mr. Turner outright cussed aloud.
Sheldon Guerrero was beyond vicious.
If it was not bad enough he refused to rent the building, he was now occupying it by force.
Brodie was being forced up against the wall this time, for should he refuse to leave, he might risk losing
the office building itself.
With teeth gnashed and eyes bloodshot, he glared at Sheldon. “Very good. Well played, Mr. Guerrero.
I'll be leaving, but bear in mind that I, Brodie Turner, is not one to be trifled with. Push me too far, and
I'd swear that I'd burn your Intercontinental Group to the ground.”
With his fingers gripped tightly around themselves, Brodie stormed out. That put a frown upon Sheldon's brow, as he found Brodie's last seen expression a little discomfiting.
Does that lunatic really have the guts to set fire to the Intercontinental Group? I... don't suppose that he
has that in him. Forget it. He's just a businessman on the down and outs, so what threat could he
possibly pose? There's no reason for me to bother myself with him.
Sheldon then got back to work.
Downstairs, Zeke and Emma were fast losing patience, and it was around this moment that Brodie
came walking out of the elevator.
noveldramaThe gnashed teeth and severe look on his face made it obvious that it was Sheldon who got the better
of him.
