"Manager Wood, it's not like that. Ms. Brown here is genuinely interested in buying a villa, she has already ..." Penny explained anxiously. "Ha! Do you think they are really here to buy a villa?" Manager Wood didn't wait for Penny to finish her sentence and sneered as she scanned Faye and Lucy disdainfully. "Do you think I'm blind or stupid? These two? They could barely afford a model villa."Penny, despite being new to the workforce, was aware that many people in this field had the tendency to judge others by their appearance. Nonetheless, her teachers and parents had always taught her not to be superficial. Not all beautiful exteriors translated to equally beautiful hearts. Besides, not everyone liked to show off their wealth. Although Faye and Lucy were dressed casually, they exude an air of elegance. Especially Faye, who demonstrated grace in both her actions and words. Penny wasn't sure what Faye did for a living or if she genuinely had the money to buy the villa, but
Sheldon, who had been walking briskly with an impatient look on his face, was suddenly stopped by Manager Wood who ran over.He was tall and well-groomed, with shining short hair.He looked at Manager Wood expressionlessly and asked, "What is it?""Here's the thing, Mr. Keane. There are two young ladies here who have expressed interest in the fully furnished villa in the third row. They'd like to place an order with you ..."The fully-furnished villa in the third row was reserved by Roy, to be given to Faye for saving his life. Sheldon was Roy's nephew and he grew up with Karston and Felton. He possessed a keen sense for business, and almost all of the real estate business in Jeorgia was now under his management.A few weeks ago, news came from the capital city that the person who saved Roy's life wanted to place an order for a villa here. At that time, Roy wanted to give the villa in its entirety to Faye, but it was said that she declined and only wanted a discount. Later,
"You're the one who saved Roy Keane, aren't you? Hahaha! He wants to ruin the Lynch family for you, so now I'll take care of you first. I'd like to see the look on his face when he finds out …" Anthon yelled frantically as he charged toward Faye. The people around him didn't have time to react until he was right before Faye. He tried to restrain her, hoping to use her against Roy.However, before he could even touch Faye, he was held down by someone. Then, with a powerful twist, Anthon was flung away. "Ah—" Anthon fell heavily to the ground, and the sound of his bones cracking echoed. He writhed in pain on the ground and struggled to get up. Cedric walked up to Anthon and stared him down with a domineering and cold gaze. "You can't lay a hand on my woman even if you try!"Anthon gritted his teeth as he lay sprawled on the ground and glared at Cedric maliciously. "Cedric, who do you think you are? Faye is just a woman who's been played with and tossed aside, yet you treat her
Cedric glanced at Sheldon who had approached him. "It's been a while, Mr. Keane.""It really is you!" Sheldon was both shocked and thrilled. "It's been so long, but you're still as dashing as you were before, Mr. Shaw."Sheldon and Jason were close. The former had once met Cedric when he visited Jorn City."I kept asking Grandpa who he reserved the villas at the top of the mountain for, and he hasn't said a word. Who would have thought it's for you, Mr. Shaw? It's fate." Sheldon beamed. "Mr. Keane Senior has been kind and allowed me the chance to obtain the best villa here in Star Gaze Bay at the very top of the mountain," Cedric said. Indeed, the villas at the top were reserved for Felton as they were located in a beautiful area, spacious and perfect for recuperation. Felton had poor health and Roy wanted him to be able to rest at any time when he came to Jeorgia. However, because of Cedric's involvement, both Felton and Jason were left with the villas on the second row.
Anthon was left in utter shock, convinced that this had to be some kind of joke. So the man with Faye wasn't a hotel employee? Who was Cedric Shaw, then? He shook his head frantically and refused to believe it. Anthon couldn't fathom that Faye could have possibly found someone better than him, thinking she was merely a woman who cheated and seduced men wherever she went. In his mind, she didn't deserve happiness, and something had to be amiss.Anthon's friend continued his story. "I looked at the photos my colleague sent me and the girl in them was Faye. Tracy had asked for the photos at the time, so I sent them over. I was going to tell you what happened, but my girlfriend saw me talking to Tracy and got jealous. "I had to appease her and didn't have time to say much. Anyway, you needed evidence that Faye was cheating on you, right? It doesn't matter who the man was."Anthon could not hear what his friend was saying after that. His head was buzzing as he stood frozen in place.
Penny followed Faye, Cedric, and Lucy to Sheldon's office.She observed Faye as she signed the contract and then handed over more than a hundred million for the house.At that moment, she felt like her world had been turned upside down. She had previously heard about the most powerful family in Jorn City—the Shaw family. However, Faye was the daughter of the Brown family. Just a few days ago, the Brown family had made the news due to issues such as unpaid construction costs and quality safety issues. All of Jeorgia knew that the Brown family was going bankrupt, so how could a young woman in her twenties like Faye have so much money?Many might assume that Faye was wealthy due to her marriage to Cedric, but Penny didn't share that view.When Faye paid, she did so calmly. It was almost as if a hundred million meant nothing to her. The confidence and pride that radiated from her could not have been the result of living off a man's wealth. At this moment, Faye was positively gl
The Keane family truly lived up to their reputation as one of the four most powerful families in Jeorgia. Though they had not been overly harsh in their approach, the Lynch family couldn't survive more than a week. Anthon and Michael were taken in for questioning by the police, and all the Lynch family's assets were frozen. The Lynch family, a once notable family in Jeorgia, crumbled without even making a sound. When Clint received this news, he was practically hysterical. He hid in his villa and drank for two consecutive days. His appearance was completely disheveled with his unshaven stubble and tousled hair.On the other hand, Lizzie was still dressed elegantly. Upon seeing the state Clint was in, she lost patience and began to berate him. "Clint, can't you pull yourself together? You promised to give our daughter and me a good life, but look at you now. What have you become? The Lynch family is done for, and the Brown family is next. "The Keane family hasn't put fo
Aside from going to work, Faye spent the following days primarily at her newly acquired villa, overseeing the workers as they decorated and arranged the place.The renovation was nearly complete, but many details in the interior design required her personal touch. She entrusted the renovation tasks to Cedric who—given his stature in Jeorgia— considered this a trivial matter. On top of that, Cedric had excellent taste and selected beautiful furniture. Faye visited when she had some free time to make minor adjustments to the furniture placement.Meanwhile, tension continued to rise within Light Moon Designs.After Faye's unexpected announcement of a competition, the designers were in a state of anxious preparation for their presentations. Those who had urgent projects on their hands found themselves even busier, highlighting the importance of teamwork. A well-organized team, even when dealing with tight schedules and heavy workloads, managed to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Con
