Chapter 144
Just thinking about the bright prospects ahead had Charlie grinning from ear to ear. But to his surprise, not only did no one show up, there was nie a commotion. He thought, “What if the top executive’s wife sees this?‘
Charlie was about to explode at their complaints, but the moment he caught sight of Valerio, all the fire in his gut instantly fizzled nut. He solut the dumbfounded.
Valerie maintained her composure, fixing the approaching man with an icy stare. “Are you the manager here?”
Charlie snapped out of his daze, quickly collected himself, and said immediately, “Yes, yes, I’m the manager here. I’m Mr. Cox. How do you do, M. Care
Charlie’s attitude left both Owen and Kim dumbfounded.
They thought, ‘What’s wrong with Mr. Cox?‘
They thought Charlie would fly into a rage, stand up for Owen, and teach Valerie a lesson.
Owen barked angrily, “Charlie, you saw what this woman did to me, and now she thinks she can buy property here? Over my dead body! Don’t sell her a single unit. I’ll cover every penny of your losses.”
Valerie shot him a cold glare, thinking, ‘Just my luck.’
If this premium development was anything like it was in her previous timeline, everyone who bought a unit struck it rich. It might be expensive, but the appreciation potential was massive. For Valerie right now, this was the most cost–effective investment with the highest returns.
However, with things escalating to this point, all she could do was give up this investment opportunity.
This place might have huge potential for appreciation, but with Owen and Charlie being so chummy, she couldn’t help but worry they’d play some dirty tricks on her even if she bought it. It was probably safer to just walk away.
Valerie picked up her phone and said coldly, “I won’t be buying the property anymore. As for what just happened, let the police handle it.”
“Please don’t call the police,” Charlie cried out urgently. “We

can settle this privately.”
I sneered. “Call the police? Dream on! Even if you did, the police would still take my side. You little
“Shut your mouth!” Charlie bellowed.
Owen was so used to Charlie groveling before him that he was completely stunned when Charlie suddenly snapped at him.
“Are you out of your mind?” Owen was furious at being yelled at.
Charlie’s face darkened as he snapped, “You’re the crazy one. Shut up! Don’t you think I know your type? You pounce on every pretty girl you see. I didn’t let her call the police because you’re a long–time client, and I don’t want to blow things up. Don’t assume I’m in cahoots with you. Now, apologize to Ms.
Clark.”
Owen was completely stunned.
The onlookers were completely floored.
All thanks to Charlie always backing him up, Owen had grown accustomed to throwing his weight around at the sales office, constantly harassing the staff or making passes at female clients.
Owen was rich after all.
But now, Charlie, who usually waited on him hand and foot like some honored guest, was actually yelling at him like some lowly un

Owen flew into a rape and roared. “Who the hell do you think you’re talking toy You
“Who the hell do you think you’re talking to?” Charlie roared back. “What makes you think you’re to special! You’re nothing but a pathetic Tell you something Compared to real VIPs like Ms. Clark, you’re nobody. Now, apologize to Ner
Valerie had steeled herself for relentless bullying. She didn’t expect such a turn of events
Valerie found the situation rather strange.
Valerie looked at Charlie and was absolutely certain she had never met this man before.
But Charlie was defending her so fiercely, it looked like he wanted to beat Owen up himself.
Owen was furious. His groin, already aching, now throbbed even worse with rage. “Y–you… I’m going to file a complaint against you?”
Charlie sneered. “Go ahead. I’ll ban you from buying any of our properties, and stop every single privilege you ever had with us. Go ahead and file your complaint.”
Owen was so stunned that he was at a loss for words. But seeing the deadly serious look on Charlie’s face, it was obvious he wasn’t bluffing
Everything he said was true.
Gasps rippled through the sales staff as they whispered among themselves, wondering what kind of connection Ms. Clark had with Charlie that could make him go out of his way to protect her like this.
In particular, they wondered what kind of background Valerie had that could make Charlie so worried about offending her.
Yes, it was painfully obvious that Charlie was walking on eggshells around Valerie. Everyone present could see it, and Owen, in particular, couldn’t help but notice Charlie’s attitude.
Next, Charlie immediately ordered the revocation of Owen’s eligibility to purchase any house, permanently banning him from purchasing any property under their entire corporation.
Not only that, Charlie also turned to Valerie with an obsequious smile and said, “Ms. Clark, I sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience today. To make amends and retain a valued client like you, please allow me to offer you compensation.
“This property was originally priced at 2.4 million dollars. How about a 20–percent discount? No, wait, let’s make it 50 percent off.”
Valerie’s eye twitched in disbelief. “50 percent off?”
The sales staff were all taken aback.
“Is he insane? 50 percent off?”
“Is this for real? That’s practically free. Is Mr. Cox planning to pay out of his own pocket?”
“Are you silly? That’s impossible.”
“Then why…”
Owen blurted out in utter disbelief, “Are you out of your mind?”
“Are you serious?” Valerie asked, stunned.
“Of course I’m serious,” Charlie said, practically desperate for her to agree. “Bring the contract now.”
The contract was quickly brought over. With a beaming smile, Charlie led Valerie to another quiet private room and began explaining the ntract details
to her.

Charlie finally let out a sigh of relief and broke into a relieved smile when he saw Valerie sign her name.
He solemnly apologized again and again, “My deepest apologies for not attending to you immediately, Ms. Clark. Please rest assured, this will never happen again. Please believe us. We’ll make sure to weed out all undesirable clients for good.”
