Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 815

Nora walked over to Rene. She was about to talk to her but, as though she was badly frightened, Rene suddenly turned away and ran into the smallest house at the side.

Nora:

Through the window, she saw Rene pick up her cell phone, her hands shaking as she did. She seemingly made a phone call. The person she called said something, which frightened Rene so badly that her eyes reddened and she started to cry.

Nora frowned.

Rene seemed to have sensed Nora looking at her. She was so scared that she suddenly drew the curtains and curled up in the corner. As for what she was doing, Nora couldn't see.

"Mommy, isn't Auntie Rene a little too timid?"

Nora nodded. After a moment's thought, she told Cherry to go back into the house. She then walked up to Rene's door, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.

Rene's timid voice rang out. "W-who is it?"

Nora replied, "I'm your neighbor, I live next door. Thank you for speaking up for Cherry..."

"Y-you're welcome."

Rene sounded like she was about to cry. "Please, I beg you, don't come to me anymore. I... I don't want him to lose his job..."

Nora hurriedly comforted her. "He won't lose his job, don't worry. Can you open the door? I have something to

tell you."

"I-I have nothing to say to you. P-please don't disturb me, okay?"

Rene stammered a little when she spoke and she didn't sound confident of herself.

Nora's brows knitted together. She wanted to knock on the door again, but the door to Mrs. Long's house on the opposite side opened at this point. Mrs. Long sneered, "She won't dare to open the door for you. Considering how much of a coward she is, if she dares to open the door for you, then wouldn't she offend me? If her boyfriend loses his job, she will have to go back to her family! When that happens, her foster father will beat her to death!"

After saying this, Mrs. Long started ranting again.

"Don't step forward to speak up for others if you're not that capable. If you do something, you must be brave enough to own up to it. Heh, your boyfriend must be really unlucky to fall for you. He's a graduate from a prestigious university—and Staav University at that—so why did he fall in love with someone like you? When my son came home a few days ago, he even mentioned your boyfriend and said that he was planning to promote him. But now...? He can forget about getting promoted! And just wait to be fired instead!"

Mrs. Long was very loud. Rene's rental house was the most rundown one of the lot, so sound insulation was not very good. Therefore, she heard everything that Mrs. Long said. At once, she huddled up in fear and even started shaking all over.

Nora broke into a frown and she sneered, "It's not certain who will be the one to get fired yet!"

Mrs. Long curled her lips disdainfully. "Tsk, tsk. Are you still talking big even at this point? Heh, maybe you're just not aware of the situation here—my son is her boyfriend's direct superior!!"

Nora wanted to say something, but Rene's door suddenly opened. Rene, who was thin and skinny just like a sheet of paper, appeared. She looked at Mrs. Long timidly and then, with choked sobs, she said, "I was wrong! P-please don't fire my boyfriend! I was wrong! Please, I'll even get down on my knees!"

As she spoke, she really got down on her knees with a thud.

Mrs. Long, however, was unmoved.

At this moment, a male voice suddenly reached them.

"Rene, what are you doing? Get up!"
