Chapter 5
The instant Drew laid eyes on me, the cheerful look on his face before turned as pale as a ghost!
He dropped Liv’s hand as if electrocuted and froze on the spot.
Liv hadn’t caught on yet and was pleased by my enthusiasm. She smirked: “Just call him Drew. He’s in the investment club. If you need anything, just ask him, right, Drew?!”
Drew broke into a cold sweat, staring at me like he’d seen a ghost, his lips trembling.
Liv pushed him impatiently: “Say something!”
‘Ah!” Drew snapped back to reality, nodding nervously, “Y-yes… right.”
He didn’t dare look at me again, his eyes darting around.
I noticed he was still holding my car keys-probably just returned in my car.
gripped the back of the sofa, my eyes narrowing.
He were playing me for a fool-mooching off me for everything while schmoozing with higher-ups behind
ny back.
I couldn’t stand it anymore. With a mocking smile, I turned to Drew:
‘So Drew, nice place you have here. When did you buy it?”
Drew wiped his cold sweat, his voice trembling, avoiding my gaze.
With roommates all around and Liv watching, admitting this wasn’t his apartment would be utterly
humiliating!
He had no choice but to lower his head and play along: “Um… not long ago. 2016, or maybe 2017.”
I laughed: “Oceanview Heights wasn’t even built until 2022. Did you travel back in time to buy it?”
Drew’s face instantly turned red: “Maybe I got it mixed up…”
I nodded: “What’s the HOA fee per square foot here?”
Drew looked at me imploringly, unable to speak.
By now, all the roommates sensed something was wrong. They sat on the sofa whispering, looking at Drew

with confusion.
Liv also paused, then glared at me angrily: “Maddie, what are you implying? You’re just jealous!
“Drew’s family owns so many properties, how could he remember everything!”
“Oh, did Drew not tell you that this apartment isn’t his, but mine?” I replied.
As soon as I said this, everyone froze.
The huge living room fell silent as everyone stared at me, seemingly not comprehending what I meant.
Drew’s body swayed as he lowered his head and clenched his fists.
I stood up and let out a cold laugh. “Sorry to burst your bubble, everyone. This apartment was actually bought by my parents for me to live in during my college days. Too bad I had really bad judgment when it came to guys, and I ended up with this loser who used my apartment and my car to hit on other girls.
‘It’s no wonder you don’t know a thing about the HOA fees-you just stole my card and the password. Let me
ill you in-
“This place was bought in the early part of 2023. It’s got a total area of 180 square meters. The HOA fee every
month is a whopping 4000 bucks. The sofa I’m sitting on is from Baker Furniture, that chandelier hanging up
here is by Barovier&Toso, and the flooring is from Bolon. All in all, including the renovations, this whole
init cost around 60 million dollars.”
I walked right up to Drew and stared at his pale face. I gave a soft snort and said,
‘Get it now, you fake-ass?”
Liv was stunned.
After a moment she stammered: “That’s impossible! It can’t be!”
She shoved Drew hard: “Drew, say something! Maddie’s making this up, right?!”
Drew stumbled from her push, head down, speechless.
Now everyone understood what was happening. Their expressions were priceless as they sat awkwardly on the sofa watching Drew.
Liv still refused to believe it. She glared at me viciously: “Maddie, stop lying! You’re not welcome here-get
off now!”
Asking me to leave my own home?

I raised an eyebrow, glancing at Drew who looked like he wanted to vanish into thin air:
“The passcode is 051003, right?”
Liv froze, her expression instantly changing: “You… you saw me enter it.”
I shook my head and smiled: “Dummy, it’s my birthday! Not only is this apartment not Drew’s, but the car
isn’t either. If you want to date him, you might as well date me directly!”
