After My Influencer Tenant Gave My Home to a Homeless Man, I Made Them Regret It! Chapter 2

"Hey, my darlings, those homeless folks on the street are just so pitiful! It's getting colder and colder, and I just can't stand to see them freezing. So, I've decided to let them stay in one of my vacant apartments for free, to give them a warmth they've never felt before this winter."

"Tomorrow at 10 AM, I'll be live-streaming the entire thing! Remember to tune in, sweethearts. Let's all do our part to help the homeless find a home this winter and contribute to a good cause."

Watching Seraphina Stone, the influencer, giggling and filming her video across the street, my hands clenched into tight fists.

Sacrificing my life and my home for her own gain – she had absolutely no boundaries.

Seraphina finished her video, and her face instantly dropped. She tossed her phone to Leo, her assistant, with a disgusted look.

"Just thinking about having to interact with those dirty, smelly homeless people tomorrow makes me sick. If this stunt wasn't going to bring in massive traffic, I wouldn't want to see these air-polluting individuals at all."

Leo handed her a hand warmer and chimed in.

"Seraphina, we just gotta tough it out for the money. We can't miss out on this insane viral buzz. It's not like it's *your* apartment anyway."

"I heard a few of the homeless folks around here have mental health issues; they often relieve themselves right on the street. Imagine if they do that inside the apartment! We can pretend to be all understanding, and boom, another wave of insane traffic, right?"

"Easy money like this? We can't pass it up!"

So, they'd known all along what could happen. They just wanted to use me as a complete patsy.

I was livid. Looking at the video recorded on my phone, a plan slowly began to brew in my mind.

Seraphina was beaming.

"Heh, the title of top streamer will be all mine… Oh, by the way, how are things with the rental? What time are we signing the contract? We need to make sure everything's locked down."

Leo replied casually.

"Don't worry, that naive woman is desperate for cash to study abroad. She'll definitely rent it out. Perfect, since she'll be out of the country, it'll make our plan even easier. Plus, the location's perfect, right where a bunch of homeless folks hang out, which is great for our live stream. It's like divine intervention!"

Just two hours ago, I'd settled the terms with Leo on a social media app. We'd planned to sign the contract at 4 PM.

Good thing the contract wasn't signed yet.

In the afternoon, right before the scheduled signing, I picked up my phone and sent Leo a voice message.

"Hey, about the house, I actually can't rent it out to you right now. My friend just moved to the city and plans to settle down here, so I'm going to rent the place to him instead. No need for you to come over this afternoon. Sorry about that!"
