Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Dare to take advantage of his wife?

“I’ll repeat what I said, I came here today with sincerity to resolve the issue. When I spoke of raising rent, I was serious. However, I was referring to the rent increase based on the original contract I signed, not the inflation from the middleman in these past years.”

“I presume, you probably don’t even know how much the rent was on the original contract I signed with the middleman. You’ll find out during our account reconciliation. It’s been several years now, increasing the rent is rightful and reasonable. If any of you don’t wish to renew the lease, you can simply terminate the contract. As long as the room and its contents aren’t maliciously damaged, I will refund your initial deposit.”

“As for the exact rent, I am unable to discuss it with each and every one of you. Not all rooms are priced the same. What I can tell you is, the rent you’ve been paying is nearly twice the amount of my original set price.”

After Yigol Novak finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

If that were true, a 60% increase in rent would be a significant decrease compared to what they’re currently paying.

Most importantly, money they previously overpaid would be refunded, which sounded fair and reasonable.

Years have passed, even if the rent was doubled, it would be acceptable.

This place is located in the school district housing with good educational resources. Isn’t the reason for moving here to provide their children with good education?

Not to mention the increase, even before this issue came to light, weren’t they aware of how expensive it was and still grit their teeth to pay for it?

If not for the landlord discovering the issue, they would still be in the dark.

Or rather, if the landlord chose to cover it up and refrain from mentioning the overcharged rent, they would still have to bear the burden, wouldn’t they?

If the landlord wants to withhold information, it should be easy.

From this point of view, this landlord seems quite conscientious.

As for Yigol Novak, he’s not a saint. Issues need to be resolved, but it ought to be done how it’s supposed to. The fact that he is willing to refund the overpaid rent is considerate in itself.

He wouldn’t resort to not collecting rent or accepting less.

If he were to do that, it would be foolish of him. He’s not conducting a charity.

Seeing as no one voiced their concerns, Yigol Novak continued: “So none of you have any objections? In that case, you understand why I’m raising the rent. The bottom line here is, it’s my property and I have the right to increase the rent if I want to. Of course, whether you choose to continue renting is entirely up to you. The rent increase will start from next month, and for this month, it will remain as per the original contract.”

“Alright, that’s all I have to say for now. Starting from the ground floor of Building No.l, we’ll proceed in that order. The rest of the tenants can go home and manage their own affairs. Keep an eye on the progress and return when the time seems right. Please bring your contracts and ID cards.” 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝑚

The account reconciliation and refunding process began. After verifying the identities and accounts, the bank staff immediately refunded the overpayment to the tenants on-site.

Yigol Novak refunded the money in exact amounts, no spare change.

Those who did not have any objections left after signing their names and accepting their money.

The tenants were quite satisfied with Yigol Novak’s precise refunding method.

Although it was just refunding the overcharged amount, tor those who had lived here for many years, it was indeed a substantial amount of money.

For anyone suspicious of foul play, Yigol Novak directed someone to resolve their concerns, thus ensuring no one was making a scene and issues were promptly addressed.

Suri Drew and Yigol Novak stayed to help with the process. Yigol Novak was dealing with the accounts while Suri was handling the refunds.

Suddenly, Suri screamed out loud, “Ah, what are you doing?”

Yigol Novak turned to look at Suri. In front of her, there was a man dressed quite posh, wearing glasses and appearing scholarly.

Seeing such a person at this event was uncommon.

When Yigol Novak looked over, the man instinctively backed away, an obvious sign of guilt.

“Honey, what happened?” Yigol Novak asked, his tone turning cold instantly.

“This man is behaving improperly. When he was supposed to take the money, he held my hand and wouldn’t let it go. He even touched me.” Suri seethed. The man immediately defended himself: “No, I didn’t mean to!”

In an instant, Yigol Novak was filled with murderous rage. Suri wasn’t the kind to overreact, she wouldn’t get this mad over a mere accidental touch.

From Suri’s description, it was clear that this scoundrel overstepped his boundaries.

From his guilty demeanor earlier, it was evident that he was behaving like a thief with a guilty conscience.

How dare he take advantage of his wife? Does he have a death wish? freeweb(n)ovel

Under these circumstances, Yigol Novak couldn’t possibly lose his temper.

However, that didn’t mean he would let his wife be treated disrespectfully.

Yigol Novak pointed at the cash on the table, “Go ahead, take it. This is the refund owed to you.”

The man hesitated for a moment, and as he was about to take the money, Yigol Novak stopped him: “First, sign your name.”

The man was already sweating in fear under Yigol Novak’s gaze, any extra minute spent here felt unbearable to him.

He initially assumed it was just an opportunity to take advantage, with no significant consequences. He didn’t expect Yigol Novak to take it so seriously.

The man reluctantly signed his name, then asked, “Can… Can I take the money and leave now?”

Yigol Novak coldly replied, “You can leave, but you can’t take the money. Also, please vacate my property immediately.”

The man looked at Yigol Novak in shock: “Wh… Why?”

Yigol Novak scoffed, “You ask why? If you had behaved and taken your money, we wouldn’t be in this predicament. But you couldn’t behave, who’s to blame here? Do I look like someone who would suffer in silence?”

“I… I… Even if you want me to leave, you still have to refund me my money!” The man shouted at Yigol Novak, though there was an evident skerrick of fear in his eyes. As he argued with Yigol Novak, he kept moving backwards.

“You’re right, according to the regulations, even if I kick you out, I should still refund your money. However, I’m not going to do that anymore. Simply because you behaved inappropriately towards my wife. This is the consequence.” Yigol Novak replied indifferently.

“You’re too…” The man wanted to argue with Yigol Novak but didn’t quite have the guts.

Even so, Yigol Novak revealed his true colors directly: “What? You’re not convinced? Want to fight? Regardless of whether you want to fight or anything else, I’ll accompany you. If you’re not convinced, you can sue me.”

“You can’t hold onto my money!” the man argued, “I…. I just touched her hand a bit, is your wife’s hand really that valuable?”
