Isabela looked at Liam with immense joy. "I heard from some friends that they've already returned all the high-interest loans they borrowed from the Tiger Gang! All of this is thanks to you, Liam!"Nathaniel resolved the matter of the Tiger Gang's high-interest loans following Liam's instructions. Isabela received the news from friends who were also debtors at the time.Without the shadow of debt collectors, Isabela's former timidity gradually disappeared, and a smile returned to her face.Liam smiled faintly, waving his hand. "It's nothing. Let's not talk about the past. I brought some medicinal herbs for Uncle Sunny. After we eat, I'll give him a simple treatment. His health will soon recover!"Isabela's eyes lit up even more at Liam's words. "Really? That's wonderful!"Sunny nervously looked at Liam. "Can my body really return to its former state?"Liam nodded. "There shouldn't be any problem.""Let's eat quickly! After the meal, Liam, please help me as soon as possible!"Su
After finishing Sunny's treatment, the three of them returned to the living room for a casual chat.Suddenly, Isabela seemed to remember something. She looked up at Liam, hesitating to speak."Aunt Isabela, what's on your mind?" Liam asked, noticing Isabela's unusual demeanor.Isabela glanced around the shabby room before she spoke. "Liam, the Tiger Gang returned the high-interest loans we gave them a while back. Given our current living conditions, we considered using that money to get Yanne a better place to live. We're not very knowledgeable about buying property, so we wanted to ask if you could advise us."Liam smiled. "Aunt Isabela, I was just thinking the same thing. Have you had a look at any specific properties?"One of the main reasons Liam had come to visit was to help Isabela's family find a new home. He was wondering how to bring up the topic when Isabela mentioned it herself.Isabela replied tentatively, "I heard there's a development called Vientiane Bay in South C
"I didn't expect property sales halls to be this luxurious nowadays!" exclaimed Isabela as she stepped into the hall, her eyes filled with admiration.Isabela had not been out for a long time, so she was naturally impressed by the grandeur."Aunt Isabela, there are some house models over there. Let's go have a look," suggested Liam, who paid little attention to the hall's decorations.After a quick glance, he walked forward. Soon, they arrived at the sand table model in the center of the sales hall.Isabela was amazed by the detailed and clear model. Her face lit up with excitement as she exclaimed, "This is what the houses in Vientiane Bay look like? They even recreated the neighborhood! No wonder everyone says the houses in Vientiane Bay are great!"Isabela excitedly admired the model and added, "They also say Vientiane Bay has the best school districts in South City. I just wonder how much the houses here cost…"Although the model was detailed, there was no pricing information
After a moment of hesitation, Isabela looked up at Lilly and asked, "If we decide to buy, are there any discounts available?"Lilly scoffed and sneered at Isabela."Discounts? When has there ever been a discount on properties at Vientiane Bay? Let's not even talk about the quality of these homes. Just living in Vientiane Bay gives you access to the best school in South City."Forget about discounts, it's a wonder the prices haven't gone up! This particular unit is the last one left. If you don't buy it, there are plenty of others who will!"Isabela bit her lip, a deep sense of hesitation crossing her face. "The last one left?"With her personality, even if she were satisfied with the house, the 530,000 dollar price tag would make her back off immediately. She was only considering it because of the school district where Vientiane Bay was located.As Lilly had mentioned, buying a house there would ensure that Yanne could attend the best school in South City.Liam glanced at Lilly
As Lilly disappeared into the distance, Isabela let out a long sigh of relief.Despite the significant pressure they faced in purchasing the house, Isabela felt no regret at all. After all, buying a house in Vientiane Bay did not drastically improve just their living environment. More importantly, it ensured that Yanne could attend the best school in South City!Thinking about how her family would finally have a new home, Isabela could not suppress the bright smile on her face.Although Sunny had not said anything, he clearly supported Isabela's decision."At worst, we'll just work a bit harder in the future," he said, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes."Aunt Isabela, you really don't need to worry so much about the house payment—"Since the decision was made, Liam finally felt he could speak up. He was about to share his plans, but Isabela interrupted him again just as he started."We're not worried about it," Isabela said with a smile, shaking her head. "Your Uncle
Liam's frown deepened. "What are you doing now?"Francis was displeased by the scene. "What exactly is going on?"Lilly quickly responded, "Mister Kongo, it's nothing. You don't need to worry! They were just looking at the same house earlier!"Isabela hurried over and explained to Lilly. "We even said we wanted to buy it! Did you forget? After we said we wanted to buy it, you promised to get the contract for us. We've been waiting for you!"Lilly rolled her eyes. "Did you pay?""We haven't paid yet since we didn't get the contract—"Isabela was abruptly cut off by Lilly. "Then, it's settled! No payment means you're still waiting."She turned to Francis with a flattering smile. "It's fine, Mister Kongo. Just proceed with the payment. This is a small matter. I can handle it."Isabela became anxious. "We've been waiting for you for so long..."Lilly's face remained expressionless. "Well, I'm sorry you waited in vain. As you just saw earlier, the last house has already been sold!"
Upon hearing Lilly's words, Isabela's face changed dramatically. "What's that supposed to mean?""What do you think I mean? I think I made myself clear! The house cannot be sold to you!" Lilly looked at Francis and continued with an air of righteousness, "Even though you have the full payment, I forgot to mention earlier that besides prioritizing full payments, we have another rule in Vientiane Bay—if someone buys a second house in Vientiane Bay, they also get priority!" Lily looked at Isabela with disdain, her nose high in the air."Do you know who Mister Kongo is? He's Francis Kongo, the executive director of Enfield Group in South City worth tens of millions! Besides this hundred square meter house, he has already bought a two hundred and thirty square meter house in Vientiane Bay! Naturally, he has the priority to buy a second house. Do you think you have the qualifications to compete with Mister Kongo for a house?" Lilly was fearless and smug.Liam chuckled in exasperatio
"Alright, I don't need to see any other types of houses in Vientiane Bay."Liam's voice suddenly rang out. He pulled out the Centurion Black Card that Howser had given him and tossed it in front of Lilly icily."I'll take the four hundred and thirty square meter house. Now that I have a house in Vientiane Bay, I should be able to buy that hundred-square-meter house. Or, do you have some new policy?""I..."Lilly was stunned. Clearly, she had not expected the turn of events.A mocking smile flashed across Lilly's face. She sneered and said disdainfully, "What are you thinking? Have you gone mad, wanting to buy a house? Do you think you can buy the most expensive house in Vientiane Bay with just a card? Do you even know how much that house costs? Now, you think you own a house in Vientiane Bay? Do you think I'm the one who's crazy, or are you out of your mind?"Lilly's face was full of ridicule.Isabela grew anxious as she quickly tugged at Liam. "Liam, what are you doing? Didn't
