Without even looking at her, Harvey York said, “Excuse me, I’m here to buy a house.”“What? You’re here to buy a house?” The real estate agent began sizing Harvey up with her eyes.She thought her ears were having problems.Apart from the fact that a young and pretty girl was tagging behind him, this man didn’t look like someone who could afford the properties here.She took in a deep breath and said with a serious tone, “Sir, do you know how much the estates here cost? Our designed houses are at least thirty-thousand dollars per square meter.”“Plus, our property sizes range from at minimum five hundred square metres. Any of them costs at least fifteen million dollars!”“Are you sure you’re really here to buy a house?”Harvey nodded nonchalantly. He was already reading the details and information of the houses on display.Xynthia Zimmer couldn’t stand the real estate agent’s arrogance and blurted, “Didn’t we say we’re here to buy a house? Stop talking nonsense already, won’t yo
Despite her complicated emotions, Tara felt more excited than ever.The reason she had been so determined to work hard was so that she could one day stand before Harvey York and tell him:You looked down on me before. Now, I’m standing at a level you can’t even climb up to!Even when three years had passed after graduation, she never had the chance to do so. Who knew the opportunity would come by knocking today!“My old batch mate, when did you come to Buckwood?”Tara Lewis scrutinized Harvey York from top to bottom as she asked.Harvey replied, “Half a month ago…” “After graduating for so long, I’ve been hearing a lot of strange rumours. It seems that you’re now a live-in son-in-law for a second-class family from Niumhi. Is that true?”“And now, you’re here in Buckwood? Is it because they don’t want you anymore? Are you here to look for another rich woman who would feed you?”“Now that I think about it, I was quite dumb to even confess to you back in college!”“Are you sing
All Tara Lewis could feel was disdain and disappointment.However, she was an exceptional person and suppressed herself from showing any negative emotions. Instead, she put on a smile. “Oh, yes. You’re here to buy a house, Harvey?”“Seeing how we’re old batch mates, I’ll give you the highest discount available.”“Still, I’m afraid that even if I offer you discounts, the houses here are worth at least fifteen million dollars…”“Why don’t I introduce you to the houses in the rural parts of Buckwood. I heard they only cost around a hundred thousand.”Harvey York replied with a smile, “Thank you, but I’m only interested in the houses here.”“Pfft! Ha ha ha ha…”!The other real estate workers all burst out laughing.He’s holding on to his pathetic act to the very end, isn’t he? Tara chuckled. “My old batch mate, it’s not that you’re not allowed to buy the houses here.”“But we don’t accept yearly or monthly payments. You have to pay the full amount.”“Can you… afford that?”Har
What was there to be said about a house worthy of thirty million dollars? Of course it would be perfect!The problem was, could he afford it?Tara Lewis looked at Harvey York with a sneer. She decided she definitely would make a fool out of him tonight. She would wait and see what kind of excuse he’d use to take back his declaration to buy the house.“My old batch mate, seeing how we’ve known each other for so many years, I can bring you over to view the house in person. How about that?” Tara said, smiling. “If you’re pleased with it, you can move in right away.” In her eyes, a peasant like Harvey who’s also a live-in son-in-law of some nameless family wouldn’t be able to do anything else except to let go of his pretense. After reading the description and looking at the pictures displayed in the brochure, Harvey shook his head. “There’s no need for that.”“Why? Are you afraid of going? Or is it because you’re too poor to buy it?” The real estate agent who had served Harvey and
Xynthia Zimmer only returned to her normal self after exiting the real estate centre. She stared at Harvey York with a mystified expression and said, “Brother-in-law, so I have a house now?”“For now, your sister and I will be living there. Isn’t there a few hundred square metres wide of space around the top garden? You can stay there if you want to.”Xynthia became excited. “Then, brother-in-law, can I choose to not live on the school campus anymore? The school hostel is too small, I don’t want to stay there any longer…”Her actual intention was to see her brother-in-law every day.Plus, she had to come up with a way to prevent him and her sister from consummating their marriage.Harvey would’ve never imagined his wife’s younger sister would have such ulterior motives. He thought for a while before saying, “This house is yours, so you can choose to come and go whenever you want. I can’t control you.”Xynthia had a look of realization. She decided to move in during the National D
Opening the door, Mandy Zimmer was surprised.Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine Brent Silva would actually be at her doorstep, a bouquet of flowers in his hands.On the other hand, Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were looking at Brent as if he was already their son-in-law, nodding their heads repeatedly in approval.“Hello, uncle and auntie. Last time I was rude, but that was a misunderstanding. I hope you are generous enough to let it slide.’“The reason I’m here today is to give you all a formal apology, and to celebrate Mandy’s birthday.”Brent smiled, looking gentle and handsome.If the people who knew him intimately were around they wouldn’t even recognize him, what with the way he was acting.“Yes, Mr. Silva came here with utmost sincerity. Uncle Simon, Aunt Lilian, you should be grateful.” Zack Zimmer aided from behind, quick to praise Brent. “With the Zimmers’ status, we shouldn’t be able to connect with a family as noble as the Silvas.” Brent waved his hand. T
It was hard to describe how Simon felt at that very moment.His youngest daughter was rumoured to be the one Prince York had set his eyes on. The news turned him and his wife sleepless for countless nights.If…If Prince Silva had his eyes on their eldest daughter, then he could kick Harvey York out and live a comfortable life.With the two famous princes becoming his sons-in-law, he and his family could be as rich and extravagant as possible.Looking at the situation at hand, it was Brent Silva who was chasing after their eldest.Still, anything was possible. Anything could happen!Even if Prince Silva didn’t have interest in Mandy, having Brent was more than enough!Thinking this, Simon quickly regained his composure.He started talking to Brent to understand Brent’s status in the Silva family.After all, this man was his soon-to-be son-in-law. There was no harm trying to understand Brent’s background more, right?While he chatted pleasantly with Brent, Harvey remained tig
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”Everyone turned around and looked at Harvey York.Harvey said to Mandy Zimmer, “Honey, I ordered a very special birthday dinner for you. Let me take you there.”At this, Lilian Yates barked impatiently, “Hmph! So what? Young Master Silva ordered a dinner at Grand Hotel W! A table there costs about twenty thousand dollars! What did you order?”Brent Silva looked at Harvey with a gentle expression. He said, “Mr. York, we don’t need to go to the place you booked.”“At the place I booked, a table costs about twenty thousand dollars. If we don’t go, it’d be a real loss!”“As for the place you booked, the losses will be on me. What do you think?”As he spoke, he waved his hand. One of his minions took out a stack of money and threw it carelessly on the ground.Harvey didn’t spare a glance at their theatrics. Instead, he smiled. “If I do that, I’ll suffer a greater loss than you.”“Oh? Where did you book? I booked the Number One room of Grand Hotel W, wi
