When the news about the Weaver family hit the streets, Charlie, who had kicked Jordan and Jeffrey into living hell and helped Liam to rise up, was in the kitchen cooking lunch for his wife and in-laws.At the dining table, Jacob and Elaine were actively talking about the Weaver family. They loved to talk about such gossip, especially Elaine. She would be thrilled for the next three days if she knew about the misfortune that happened in another family.When Elaine mocked Jordan and Jeffrey for their misfortune, Claire chided, “Mom, don’t mock others like that, it’s not nice.”Elaine snorted in disdain. “Huh, I can ignore other people, but I won’t miss a chance of mocking the Weaver family!”Then, she said in a sheepish tone, “Oh yes, did you know that Wendy was seemingly with Jeffrey a few days ago?”“Huh?” Claire gaped in bewilderment. “No way. Jeffrey is thirty-something, isn’t he? He is at least a decade older than Wendy! I don’t think Wendy wants to be with him.”Elaine clicke
Charlie nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. White informed me that the work will be completed next month and we can move in then.”Claire said, “Would it be good to move in right after the renovation is completed? Shouldn’t we wait for a while for the smell of the paint and whatever to disappear first?”Elaine interjected, “Ah, it’s okay. I went to see the progress with your dad the other day. They used imported non-polluting materials for the renovation containing zero formaldehyde. There was really no smell at all in the house. In fact, they installed an air purifying system in the house that replaces fresh air twenty-four hours a day, it is very advanced and healthy!”Claire nodded without a word. She was rather indifferent and aloof about the whole idea of moving to the Thompson First villa, but Charlie was right. They would not live on the same floor as her parents after moving into the new house. In this case, they would have more privacy and personal space, unlike now, where there was
Since people were waiting for her, Elaine did not even bother to finish her meal. She quickly grabbed her bag before she took a cab to an older villa complex in Aurous Hill, the West Garden Villa.An old friend of hers lived in the vicinity of this villa complex.The West Garden Villa had been relatively prosperous and luxurious in Aurous Hill twenty years ago. However, since it was already an old villa complex, it was not as luxurious and elegant as it used to be.In the past, Elaine felt that the West Garden Villa was already very good and luxurious. Moreover, she felt that she would never be able to move into a villa like this in her lifetime.Nevertheless, things were different now. When she thought of how she was going to move into the best villa at Thompson First very soon, Elaine felt a little dismissive of the West Garden Villa.Her old friend who lived at this villa complex was called Summer Gibson, and Elaine had met her many years ago.Summer came from a pretty good fa
Summer shook her head before she smiled and said, “Actually, I am going to the United States after a while. I am going to settle down there, and I am not going to come back to Aurous Hill anymore.”At this time, Elaine asked in surprise, “How are you planning to settle down in the United States?”Summer nodded slightly before she said, “Didn’t I tell you that my son went abroad to study in the United States? He has not returned to the country after leaving for the United States. He is already married there, and my daughter-in-law is also pregnant now. My son does not intend to come back to Aurous Hill anymore. Therefore, he wants to bring me over to live with him in the United States so that I can help him to look after his children in the future.”One of the women sitting at the mahjong table suddenly blurted out, “Oh, Summer! Are you going to sell all of your houses and properties in Aurous Hill then?”Summer replied, “I will just keep one of the smaller condominiums in the urban
”Yes.” Christopher quickly explained, “This is the life insurance that my dad bought for her when he was still alive in order to leave a way out for the future generations.”After that, Christopher also said, “Why don’t you analyze and do the calculations yourself? How many more years could my mother possibly live when she is already so old? I think that she can only live for another three to five years at most. Let’s just let her live with us for another three to five years. After her death, we will be able to get our hands on the six million dollars life insurance. Don’t you think that it is very worth it?”“Yes, it is worth it!” Hannah replied as she rubbed her hands excitedly. After that, she said, “We have to take good care of your mother now. We should not allow Jacob and his family to lay their hands on your mother’s life insurance!”Christopher nodded as he smiled, “That is only natural. Don’t worry, we will not split the six million dollars with Jacob and his family when th
Summer smiled before she said, “Oh, please come in! Come in! I have not lived in this villa for many years. So, please just make yourselves at home as you look around the villa.”“Okay!” Christopher nodded before he entered the villa with Hannah. After that, he began looking at the layout and interior design of the villa.At this time, Shella, the real estate agent, smiled before she said, “Mr. Wilson, the West Garden Villa is one of the first villa complexes that was developed in Aurous Hill. The supporting facilities are all relatively complete, and it has very tight and good security. Therefore, your safety is guaranteed. The villa has an actual living area of four hundred and seventy square meters, and this fully meets all of your previous requirements…”The reason Christopher was looking forward to buying an old villa was because it would be relatively cheaper. A normal four hundred and seventy square meters villa cost at least twenty million dollars in Aurous Hill, but the cur
Truth be told, Hannah and Christopher would never have dreamt that they would run into Elaine here!Both of them really could not comprehend the situation. Why was Elaine here at the villa?Was she friends with Summer?Hannah was a little annoyed at this time.In fact, she had already planned to slaughter the price of the villa and insist on purchasing the villa for eight million dollars. If the other party disagreed with the price, she would just increase the price little by little until a maximum of nine million dollars. Hannah was confident that she would definitely be able to buy the villa for nine million dollars.However, she never would have expected Elaine to suddenly appear and attack them at this time!Besides, Elaine had always been very polite and respectful toward her. So, why was she suddenly so courageous to even mock her in front of everyone else today? When did she become so courageous?Elaine had been bullied by Christopher and Hannah ever since she had married
Christopher turned pale, and he quickly stepped forward to reprimand Elaine. “Elaine! Stop trying to criticize and insult us! No matter how depressing our situation is, we are definitely better off than you. Why don’t you take a look at your own life instead? Your husband is a piece of trash, your son-in-law is a piece of trash, and your whole family is simply pathetic!”Elaine’s eyes widened immediately, but she simply replied in disdain, “Oh! Big brother, you are right! My husband is really nothing but a piece of trash, but what else can I do? All the men in the Wilson family are nothing but garbage! Don’t you already know this in your own heart?”“You…” Christopher gritted his teeth in anger.Good for you, Elaine. I was scolding your husband, but you actually dragged my husband and son into this?!At this time, Elaine did not give Christopher any chance to continue speaking at all. She simply placed her hands on her waist as she said arrogantly, “But don’t you dare say that my p
