Dorothy was also stunned because she had been to Alexâs house before and knew it
wasnât a lie that it was at Maple Villa 8.
It couldnât be possible that Charles had taken back the villa and sold it to her sister and
her family, right?
Adriannaâs family, on the other hand, owned a small business. Their annual income was
only about five hundred thousand dollars, so how was it possible that they could
purchase a villa in that area, one that cost tens of millions?
Adrianna looked at Alex coldly.
âWhat do you mean? Do you think Iâm lying? Is there
even a need to lie to a piece of trash like you? Do you think I have so much time on my
hands?â
Alex curled his lips. âIâm just being kind and reminding you not to be fooled by liars. By
then, not only will you not have a house, you wonât even have your money.â
Adrianna was triggered by his remark, slapping her hand on the table.
âAre you cursing
our family? You just canât stand seeing others getting good things, can you? If you keep
your mouth shut, no one will think youâre mute. You came here for a free meal and even
ran your mouth. A useless piece of garbage like you deserve to be driven out by the
Rockefeller family. Youâll never be able to live in a high-end area like Maple Villa for your
entire life.â
âThatâs right. Whatever your mother said about defeating the Rockefeller Group, itâs just
empty words and bragging. If your mother really can top the Rockefeller Group within
the three months, Iâll take my head off and let you use it as a stool,â Sharpay scoffed.
Alex really wanted to respond with an, âEven if you take that empty, brainless head off
for me to use a stool, I wouldnât want it.â
Seeing the look on Dorothyâs face, however, he kept it inside.
Dorothy frowned. âAunt, how much did it cost for you to buy this Maple Villa 8?â
âWe poured out all our familyâs savings, so it was more than two million dollars,â
proclaimed Taylor proudly.
âThatâs impossible, no? How could two million dollars be enough? A classmateâs relative
lives in Maple Villa too.
I heard that itâs the lowest end villa, but it had cost almost ten
million dollars when they bought it. With just two million dollars, you canât even buy a
three-bedroom apartment in Californiaâs suburbs, right?â Beatrice exclaimed.
When Claire had heard that her younger sisterâs family had bought a house in Maple
Villa, and seeing how her sister and brother-in-law were showing off all sorts of things,
she had become extremely depressed.
However, at this time, she chose to speak up. âSister, Brother-in-law, it looks like thereâs
really a problem here.â
Adrianna snorted. âWhat do you all know? This house was half-given and half-bought. It
was Sharpayâs boyfriend who gave it to us. The houseâs original owner was our future
son-in-lawâs friend, and because the business was losing money, be lowered the price
and sold it.
The total cost was actually around ten million, but the remaining eight million
was paid-off by Josh.â
So, this Josh she was talking about must be Sharpayâs boyfriend.
âSharpay changed her boyfriend so quickly?â Alex couldnât help but exclaim in surprise.
Sharpay rolled her eyes. âItâs none of your business!â
Alex and Dorothy looked for a chance and stepped outside.
âWhatâs going on? Isnât Maple Villa 8 your house? How did it suddenly become auntâs
house? Did Charles sell it?â asked Dorothy.
âYou heard the nonsense they sprouted. I think Sharpay had most likely met a fake
boyfriend once again,â said Alex.
âThe point is, theyâre too deep in their daydreams right
now and wonât listen to reason. Forget it. Weâll see how things turn out tomorrow. Oh,
Iâm really looking forward to seeing their expressions when they realize theyâre not
getting the house. Itâs definitely going to be hilarious.â
Dorothy laughed, looking forward to it as well.
***
The night passed quickly.
Alex slept at Maple Villa 8 until about half-past eight when he received a call from
Dorothy saying they had already left and were headed towards Maple Villa.
Adrianna hadnât been able to sleep due to the excitement of getting to the house. She
shook up the entire house at four in the morning by causing a ruckus and disrupting
everyone elseâs sleep.
Alex was speechless.
It wasnât until nine in the morning that he received another call, saying that they were
stopped at the entrance and could not get in.
Alex could only give the guards at the entrance a call, then had to wait in the middle of
the road within the community area.
âHuh, Rockefeller, why are you within Maple Villa so early in the morning? Do you want
to see our big villa that much? Hmph, Iâll let you off this time. Without us, you probably
couldnât even set foot in this area!â harrumphed Adrianna proudly.
Alex was left speechless once again.
She was oblivious to the fact that if he hadnât come out just now, they really wouldnât
have been able to get in at all!
