Brodie 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?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrodie'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 to have 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?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“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.
The gnashed teeth and severe look on his face made it obvious that it was Sheldon who got the better of him.
