Ruby scoffed. "Such narrow-mindedness! If you knew that my husband plans to buy this Villa No. 22 for me, worth forty-eight million dollars, you'd probably go insane!"She had just come from the back of the villa when she overheard Liam marveling at the price of the Hush Purple Gardens villa. Ruby found it extremely laughable.The moment Ruby's words registered, Layla's eyes widened abruptly. "Forty-eight million dollars?"As soon as Ruby's words reached her ears, Layla's eyes widened in shock. When Serena first asked Layla to look at Villa No. 22, she did not delve deeply into its price but gave Layla a rough budget of 38 million dollars.That was Serena's maximum limit.However, Layla had never imagined that Villa No. 22 would be priced so high. It was not that the Lloyd Group could not come up with 48 million dollars.The problem was that spending 48 million dollars on a house would severely impact the Lloyd Group's cash flow due to recent upheavals within the Lloyd family. Th
Upon hearing Liam's response, Andy froze abruptly."Hahaha!"His piercing laughter echoed through Villa No. 22. Andy laughed so hard that he bent forward and backward, unable to straighten up for a moment."Villa No. 3 is the one you're going to live in? I can't take it anymore! You're really going to make me die of laughter!"He clutched his stomach as he laughed."Ruby told me you were useless, and I understood. After all, there are quite a few useless men like you, but now, I see it's not that you're useless. It's that you're not right in the head! You just speak every single thought!"Was Villa No. 3 the house he was going to live in? Who gave Liam the courage to say something like that?Ruby sneered at Liam after taking a good look at him. "You have no shame at all, daring to spout such nonsense. Do you really think we don't know who you are?"Her face was full of mockery. "Villa No. 3? Even Serena wouldn't dare to say such a thing! I wish she could see what you look like
"I really admire you, Liam. You can still babble on!" Andy's voice echoed again, staring at Liam with a playful glint in his eyes. "Seeing how persistent you are, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I wonder where Villa No. 3 is. Do we have the honor of visiting your house?""I don't know where Villa No. 3 is," Liam replied casually. It was his first time at Hush Purple Gardens, and despite having the key to Villa No. 3, he felt uneasy about the environment inside Hush Purple Gardens. Even Villa No. 22 was visited with Layla guiding him. He genuinely did not know the location of Villa No. 3.Ruby could not help but burst into laughter. "You crack me up! You don't even know where the house is, yet you claim to live there?! Are you out of your mind? If we met in the South City Center today, would you also claim the entire South City as yours?"Andy also burst into laughter, waving his hand as he chuckled. "Oh my! You can't put it that way! Look at Liam. He doesn't even know wh
"Let's go, Layla."Watching Ruby and Andy leave the villa, Liam turned and nodded to Layla before stepping to catch up."Liam..."Layla was completely bewildered by Liam. She initially thought Liam's mention of heading to Villa No. 3 was just an excuse to dismiss Ruby and Andy. She had not expected that her brother-in-law was indeed heading to Villa No. 3!What could he possibly want at Villa No. 3? Even the villas before No. 10 in front of Hush Purple Gardens were completely out of their reach.What was going on with her brother-in-law? Was it just to defy Ruby and Andy?Such an action had no meaning. Villa No. 3 could not possibly have any connection to Liam or even the Lloyd family.Even Layla could already foresee the increasingly piercing mockery from Ruby and Andy once they reached the entrance of Villa No. 3.Layla's mind was in chaos, but she did not have time to dwell on it. Liam had already stepped out of the gate, so Layla could only hasten to follow. Though she co
Andy looked at Liam and sneered. "How can you be so clueless? Didn't you say you lived in Villa 3? How come you don't even recognize your own house?"In front of them stood a mansion-like villa with a prominent number '3' displayed at the entrance."Honey, is this Villa No. 3?"Ruby stared at the villa ahead, her mouth agape. Compared to Villa No. 3, the so-called Villa No. 22 was not even worth mentioning.Andy replied mockingly, "Exactly. Isn't this where Liam lives?"As he spoke, he glanced ahead at the villa, his face showing a hint of yearning. Although Andy also desired to own Villa No. 3, he knew purchasing Villa No. 22 was already his limit. Therefore, he felt infuriated by Liam's audacity, claiming to live in Villa No. 3.The properties before Villa No. 10 in Hush Purple Gardens had a special status. Aside from Villa No. 10 being listed for sale due to an accident, no information was available about the other nine villas.Andy had no idea who lived in Villa No. 3, but
At that moment, Ruby froze as if strangled, her eyes fixed on Villa No. 3 with its door ajar. Her face flushed crimson, rendering her speechless."What..."Andy's eyes widened in disbelief, his gaze trembling uncontrollably ahead. They could not fathom it, not even in their wildest dreams. Liam had actually opened the door to Villa No. 3.Andy and Ruby were utterly bewildered as they observed the luxurious elegance within Villa No. 3. Could it be? Was Liam, that useless fellow, really residing in Villa No. 3?How could that be? He did not even know where Villa No. 3 was located!Ruby and Andy were dumbfounded. It was not just them. Upon witnessing the scene, Layla trembled violently. "He... He opened the door?"Layla's delicate face was filled with astonishment, her mind a blank slate. What on earth was happening?Andy's voice erupted, his eyes wide with disbelief and resentment as he charged toward Liam."It's impossible! This absolutely can't be! I don't believe it! How c
"Wait, Liam wouldn't take someone else's keys..."A flicker of nervousness flashed across Layla's face, and she quickly tried to explain. Although she had not quite figured out the situation, Layla was clear on one thing.If what Andy and Ruby said was true, and Liam did not know where he got the key to Villa No. 3, then there would be big trouble when the security from Hush Purple Gardens arrived.Ruby scoffed. "Your brother-in-law wouldn't? Then explain where Liam, that useless guy, got the key to Villa No. 3!"Layla waved her hands repeatedly, feeling very nervous, wanting to say something more. "I… Liam may not know the situation...""What? Now you're saying your brother-in-law doesn't know the situation? Why didn't you speak up when he was flaunting his power earlier?" Ruby did not give Layla a chance to respond. With a cold snort, she turned to Andy."Honey, you don't need to bother with them. People like Liam need to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, they'll continue to tri
Upon hearing Andy's explanation, Ruby could not help but scoff. She turned to Liam, her face filled with mockery."Perfect! A person like him, who disregards all rules, deserves a good lesson. He didn't have much skill before, but it seems he's learned a lot in prison! Next time I see Serena, I must have a serious talk with her!"They were certain that Liam was about to face a big problem.Meanwhile, Layla's eyes flickered with panic when Ryan and the others appeared.Layla knew Ryan. After all, Ryan's consent was required to visit the Hush Purple Gardens. Layla never expected Ryan and his group to arrive at Villa No. 3 so quickly without giving them time to react."What should we do?"Layla looked up at Liam, her face filled with worry. It was obviously too late for them to leave, and Layla could not think of any way to deal with the situation before them.Finally, she bit her lip and walked towards Liam. Regardless of the outcome, Layla wanted to face it with her brother-in-la
