"Did you buy this villa?"Caroline was momentarily stunned when she heard Brentley's answer, then burst into laughter, her body shaking. The sales office staff joined in, laughing as if they had just heard the funniest joke in the world."Mr. Carter... I'm fine. If worse comes to worst, I'll just find another job. Let's just go!"Vienna was deeply moved that Brentley had stepped up to speak for her, but she knew there was no way he could afford a $960,000 villa. To her, his words seemed like nothing more than a joke."Had enough laughing?"Brentley's sudden interruption silenced the room. Caroline stopped laughing and gave him a quick look, then said, "You want to buy this villa, right? This villa is a special offer. We don't accept loans; it's full payment only. The deposit is two hundred thousand, and the remaining Seven hundred and sixty thousand must be paid within a week. If you want to buy it, just pay up!""Two hundred thousand for the deposit?" Brentley was momentarily surpris

Caroline naturally didn't dare to go against her boss' wishes, so she led Brentley straight to the model display at the sales office.Mr. Rivera knew well that Brentley probably couldn't afford the villa, so he didn't linger in the sales office for long and walked out directly.Meanwhile, Vienna stood nervously in place, her eyes filled with helplessness. She knew that by calling Brentley here today, she had basically offended Manager Brown.When Brentley leaves, she would definitely be fired by her.Vienna was at a loss for what to do, her small hands fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.Caroline, with practiced ease, picked up a laser pointer and directed it at the model of the villa on the far edge. Pouting slightly, she said to Brentley, "This is the last villa available in our entire development. It's a two-story, 3,200-square-foot home. The price is $300 per square foot, so the total comes to $960,000 if you pay in full.""$960,000?" Brentley Carter was taken aback by the numb

The sexy sales manager at the real estate office paused for a moment after hearing Brentley's words. She then gave him a quick look before covering her mouth and giggling coquettishly (meaning in a flirtatious manner)Naturally, the other employees in the office joined in the laughter, their eyes filled with disdain as they looked at Brentley."Kid, do you even know how much our houses cost per square foot? Do you know that all the properties we sell here are villas over 3,200 square feet?"The sexy manager, swaying gracefully in her high heels, approached Brentley with an aggressive tone."No, I don't..."Brentley shook his head lightly as he looked at the manager."Didn't you just ask me how I knew you couldn't afford a house here? Let me tell you, the cheapest villa here costs over a million dollars. Do you think you can come up with that kind of money? Do you really think this is a place you should be?" the manager continued, her voice dripping with condescension."A million dolla

"Manager Morgan, what did you just say? My membership has been canceled?"Colby's friend, Young Master Ellis, looked visibly agitated upon hearing the manager’s words. After all, obtaining a membership card for Jacques Bistro Restaurant was no easy task. Young Master Ellis had spent millions at Jacques Bistro Restaurant to finally secure a gold-level membership card. Now, it was abruptly canceled, and he was understandably upset."Young Master Ellis, I'm sorry, but these are orders from above. It has nothing to do with me," Morgan replied, his face expressionless.Colby was stunned by the manager’s response, his face turning grim. He knew how important this membership card was to Young Master Ellis, and he also knew how important he was to him.Colby had come to attend his birthday party mainly to get closer to him and curry favors. Their family had a significant project up for bidding, and Colby's father's company was planning to bid on it. Colby had already discussed this with him i

Claire and Erica felt an even deeper disdain for Brentley after seeing him agree to their demands. In their eyes, Brentley was a man without dignity or ambition. Otherwise, how could he possibly agree to such conditions?"Here's my business card. It has my contact information. Send me your account details later, and I'll transfer your living expenses monthly," Claire said, hesitating for a moment before taking a card from her purse and handing it to Brentley."Okay, thank you!" Brentley replied cheerfully, taking the card with a smile. "How can you be so shameless? You're a grown man living off a woman's money. Don't you find that inappropriate?" Erica couldn't hold back any longer, her big, watery eyes glaring at Brentley."Being supported by a wealthy woman is a skill of mine. Do you want to be supported too? Is there anyone willing to support you?" Brentley replied nonchalantly, glancing at Erica."You... you are the most shameless man I've ever met!" Erica was at a loss for words,

"What are your terms? Let's hear them," Brentley asked, knowing that Claire agreeing to marry him couldn't be that simple. He wasn't arrogant enough to believe that someone like Claire would fall head over heels for him at first glance.Claire hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "First, our marriage will not be public, but privately, we have no relationship. You are you, and I am me." "Go on," Brentley replied nonchalantly."Second, you must have no improper thoughts about me. You can't do anything to violate me. We won't share the same room, and even if we do, we won't share the same bed," Claire continued, looking directly at Brentley."Any other conditions?" Brentley couldn't help but smile. He could already sense that Claire didn't truly want to marry him. She just wanted Brentley to play along so she could secure the investment for the Harris Family."The third condition is that you have no right to interfere with anything I do," Claire said slowly. "No right to interf
