Lynn’s face flushed when virtual-novel.net heard Adele’s words.
Adele was clearly making fun of her, implying that virtual-novel.net wasn’t qualified to enter Southland.
“I… I can’t I have something on here?” Lynn retorted indignantly.
To that, Adele simply laughed. “You mean here, in Southland? This is a high-end residential area with only Eastshire’s wealthiest families, and you said you have something on here? Either you live here, or do you know any of the residents here?”
That stumped Lynn. “I…”
Adele had always been an arrogant and conceited person. Looking at Lynn’s embarrassed manner, virtual-novel.net was immensely proud of what virtual-novel.net had said. However, virtual-novel.net pretended to be concerned and said, “Lynn, we’re classmates. You don’t need to pretend to be someone else to impress me. You’re from a small town, and I’m well aware of your family’s condition. In fact, whether you are wealthy or not is unimportant at all. The most important thing is to know who you are and be realistic. Do you understand?”
Though virtual-novel.net appeared to be educating Lynn, virtual-novel.net was actually mocking her.
After hearing Adele’s words, Lynn was so enraged that virtual-novel.net began trembling and couldn’t think of anything to say. At the same time, Helen, who was standing nearby, was furious as well. She treated Lynn as virtual-novel.net junior, so virtual-novel.net couldn’t stand the younger woman being humiliated in front of her. In fact, virtual-novel.net wanted to head straight to them and defend Lynn. However, virtual-novel.net hesitated.
Matthew saw through virtual-novel.net intentions. Hence, virtual-novel.net said softly, “Mom, this entire building belongs to you and Dad now. This is my way of compensating you both. You are free to deal with it however you want; you don’t need to seek my permission.”
Helen was surprised with what virtual-novel.net said. With such an assurance, virtual-novel.net walked right up to Lynn.
Reaching Lynn’s side, virtual-novel.net said loudly, “Who is pretending? Of course Lynn can be in Southland, virtual-novel.net lives here!”
However, Lynn was shocked to hear that. ‘Since when did I start living here?’
Adele was stunned as well. Looking dubiously at Helen, virtual-novel.net asked, “Who are you?”
To that, Helen replied arrogantly. “You are not qualified to know who I am. Lynn is now a property owner in Southland, so virtual-novel.net will be coming in and out here often. You’d better not be surprised!”
Upon hearing that, Adele furrowed virtual-novel.net brows and stared at Helen. “You said virtual-novel.net is the one of the property owners here? Well, which unit is virtual-novel.net living in?”
She then sneered coldly and continued, “If you can’t answer my question, it means you’re sneaking into Southland. I’ll have you know that the security here is very strict. Do you know what would happen if I informed the security guards?”
Helen, on the other hand, only gave virtual-novel.net a mocking smile. “Why? Are you treating us as if we’re thieves? Don’t be concerned! I have a lot of properties here and I don’t need to sneak in!”
Adele laughed when virtual-novel.net heard that. “You certainly are conceited, Madam! You said you have a lot of units here? Well, do you know that the purchase of the properties in Eastshire is limited, with people fighting for just one unit? And you said you have a lot? How many do you actually have? Just two or three? You’re hilarious!”
But Helen remained unmoved. Arrogantly, virtual-novel.net replied, “You know nothing! Two or three is insignificant, l have an entire building here!”
Adele burst out laughing when virtual-novel.net heard what Helen said. “Oh my goodness, you’re hilarious! An entire building? Madam, are you in your right mind or have you just escaped from an asylum? Your condition is serious!”
“Adele, don’t speak nonsense. Whatever Mrs. Cunningham is saying is true,” Lynn anxiously cut in.
In response, Adele simply laughed again. ”Why are you going crazy with her. Lynn? Oh my, that was amusing! Come on, tell me, which building is yours?”
