The sales lady was panicking because she was worried that she would lose her job since she had offended Charlie. However, Charlie simply waved his hand before he said in a faint manner, “Don’t worry, this is a small issue. I won’t hold this against you.”After that, Charlie continued speaking, “By the way, could you please explain what Villa A05 is to all these short-sighted people here today?”The sales lady hurriedly explained, “The villas in Thompson First are divided into four different categories: A, B, C, and D. The scarcest category is category A, which has the largest area. The villas in category A consists of three levels, including a basement.

The price of one of these villas is over one hundred million dollars. This is the most expensive villa in Thompson First and perhaps even in the entire Aurous Hill!”

It was Charlie’s mother-in-law, Elaine!The person accompanying Elaine at this time was none other than her husband, Jacob!Charlie and Claire were a little surprised at this time. Why were they here?Claire hurried forward before she asked, “Mom! Dad! Why are you here?”Elaine replied, “Your aunt and uncle called us to inform us of their intention to check out the houses at Thompson First as they’re intending to buy a house here. They invited us here to help them look around today.”In fact, Elaine glared at Charlie as she said this sentence because she felt a little annoyed at this time.Elaine did not want to come here today because she had just gotten into an argument with her daughter last night as she wanted to move out of their house. Unexpectedly, she actually received a phone call from Christopher, asking her and her husband to come over to check out the properties with them.What did they want them to check out? Weren’t they just trying to show off the fact that they

When Christopher heard his words, he thought that Jacob was deliberately trying to mock him. Therefore, he could only glare at him as he said in a furious tone, “Jacob, enough is enough! Why are you saying all this? I know that you are going to move into the villa at Thompson First. Are you trying to show off now?”Jacob was stunned at this time. “Huh? I am going to live in a villa at Thompson First? What are you talking about, Elder Brother?”Elaine was also very confused at this time. “Brother, is there a mistake here? Are you sure there’s no misunderstanding on this matter?”At this time, Christopher pointed his finger at Charlie before he said with a dissatisfied expression on his face. “Your son-in-law is the owner of the biggest villa in Thompson First! You can ask him all about it!”Elaine and Jacob were dumbfounded at this time. After that, they stare at Charlie in astonishment before they asked in disbelief, “Charlie, is what your uncle said true? Are you really the owner

Wendy and Christopher could not accept this fact at all. It felt as though they were being slapped and humiliated in public! They really wanted to bury themselves in a hole right then.This was insane!Just then, an old man suddenly walked out of the villa.The old man walked towards Charlie before he asked in a respectful manner, “Hello, are you Mr. Wade?”Charlie nodded before he replied, “Yes, I am. May I know who you are?”The old man replied, “Hello, Mr. Wade. I am Mr. White’s butler and I am responsible for taking care of this villa. I am Barry Landon but you can call me Barry. I am in charge of the maintenance of the villa.”“Barry?” Wendy stared at him in shock as though she had just been electrocuted.Wasn’t Barry her fiancé, Gerald’s butler? Why was he here?Did this villa belong to the White family?If that was the case, then why was it given to Charlie?Wendy quickly asked, “Barry, what is going on? Does this villa belong to the White family?”Barry replied, “Yes

Gerald was also stunned.The villa at Thompson First was the most valuable property owned by the White family.This house was owned by Zeke, the current head of the White family, who was Gerald’s uncle.Zeke was Kevin’s father, and Gerald’s father was only second-in-command.Even though Gerald and his father really loved Thompson First, there was no way they could afford such an expensive villa!Therefore, Gerald felt extremely shocked and uncomfortable when he heard that his uncle had actually given this villa to Charlie. He immediately told Wendy over the phone, “Wendy, give me a minute. I will ask my uncle about this.”Wendy hung up the phone before she glared at Charlie as she gritted her teeth and asked, “Charlie, what did you do? How did you trick Uncle White into giving you this villa?”At this time, Charlie replied in a light manner, “Mr. White offered me this villa on his own accord.”“You are lying!” Wendy suddenly blurted out. “You’re not related to the White family

”Charlie, is this… did the White family really give this villa to you?” Jacob asked Charlie in surprise when he finally regained his senses.“Yes, dad,” Charlie replied as he smiled.“This… you…” Jacob stuttered. He felt as though he was still dreaming.Claire hurried over to her father before she said, “Dad, why don’t you sit down and rest for a while? Since Mr. White has already explained the situation to everyone, everyone should know clearly now that this villa rightfully belongs to Charlie.”Claire specifically emphasized the words ‘rightfully belongs’ because she wanted her relatives to hear her loud and clear.Hannah held her hand against her chest in disbelief before she muttered, “The White family must be really insane! If they wanted to give this villa to someone else, why didn’t they give it to me instead?”Hannah was not the only one in disbelief because the rest of them were also very shocked at this time. In fact, Harold was extremely jealous of Charlie.He could n

When Charlie saw that Claire was panicking, he smiled before assuring her. “My dear wife, don’t worry about the villa. Mr. White will never come and cause any trouble because of this villa.”Jacob continued shaking his head. “No. Last time when you helped the Quinton family with their Feng Shui problem, you already spent one hundred million dollars of their money just to bid on the clamshell. Now, the White family is actually giving you a villa just to thank you! These two families are both extremely famous and prestigious in Aurous Hill. I am afraid that they will regret their decision in the future, and sooner or later, they will come and demand that you give everything back to them!”Jacob continued speaking, “You should return the villa to the White family as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am afraid that all of us are doomed if they try to settle the score with us!”At this time, Charlie’s mother-in-law suddenly blurted out, “What do you mean?! Why should we return the villa to

Elaine felt very triumphant as she shook the jade bracelet on her hand. “I have already sent a text message to some of my friends. Many of them are already jealous of me because of this jade bracelet, and now, I even have a big and luxurious villa!”Charlie looked at the jade bracelet on his mother-in-law’s hand. In actual fact, that was the bracelet that Graham had given to him, and he had been planning on giving it to Claire in the first place. However, who would have expected that Elaine would take it for herself instead.***At the White family mansion.Gerald was standing in the hall as he reported what he had just found out to his father over the phone.After he was done speaking, Gerald hesitated for a moment before he raised his head and said, “Dad, is uncle confused? He did not even stay a single day in that villa, but he did not hesitate at all to give it to Charlie! You have to persuade him to take it back from Charlie!”Gerald’s father had a solemn expression on his f
