But then again, he was too lazy and unbothered to explain, so he simply replied, âYeah,
thatâs right. Itâs all because of you. So, whereâs that⦠Didnât you say Sharpayâs
boyfriend bought it? Where is he?â
âWho do you think my son-in-law is?
Leaders of public listed companies have meetings
throughout the day, and their time is worth tens of thousands of dollars. Theyâre very
busy. Unlike trash like yourself, Iâve never seen you earn even a single cent throughout
the year. You donât even have a job right now. Do you want our son-in-law to introduce
you to a job?
Being a security guard is still better than living-off your wife like what
youâre doing now.â
Alex grabbed Dorothyâs hand. âSo I like to live off my wife. What about it?â
âHmph! Trash!â
Very quickly, they arrived at Maple Villa 8.
Adrianna ran towards it the moment she got down from the car, as a dazzling smile
plastered across her face.
âLook at this, Sister! From today, this is my house.â
âWhat do you think? Very stylish, right? Itâs a hundred times better than that little house
of yours. Oh, when I slept in your house yesterday, it was so crowded! It was just as bad
as my three-bedroom!â
âLook at the big iron gate, this huge flower bed, and this door light. Impressive, arenât
they? Thereâs even a swimming pool inside. Can you see it? From today, I can swim at
home every day. If you want to swim too, sister, just give me a call in advance.â
Sharpay and Taylor, too, had their faces full of anticipation.
This was the first time their family had come here in person.
Before this, they had only
seen videos and pictures of this place since Josh had said that there were many eager
buyers and that it would have been gone in a blink of an eye.
What was funnier was that Adrianna even planted a kiss on the big iron gate.
However, when Alex had left the house previously, he had closed the gates, and they
couldnât get in!
Beatrice and Claire looked extremely disgusted.
Alex smiled. âAunt, uncle, congratulations. Since weâre all here, hurry and open the
gates. Letâs all go in and have a lookâ
Dorothy glanced at him, hints of laughter dotting her eyes.
âNo problem.â
Adrianna immediately pounded the iron gate.
Bang, bang, bang!
She didnât know there was a doorbell beside it.
No one responded, of course.
âDidnât you bring the keys?â asked Alex.
âThatâs weird. Didnât he say that a housekeeper was inside? Could they have gone out
to buy food?â Adrianna quizzed.
Alex was about to faint, holding back his laughter. This woman could really plug the
holes in her stories and dig out a plausible explanation for everything.
Sharpay attempted to call Josh in a hurry, but alas, it turned out to be a disconnected
number.
âWhat?? How could it be a non-existent number?â
âThatâs impossible!â
She called again, only to get similar results. She tried calling from another phone, and it
was still a disconnected number.
The expressions on the faces of Adriannaâs family instantly turned nervous. Adrianna
was the most anxious of them all, looking as though she was an ant in hot water.
Unable to bear it any longer, Dorothy exclaimed, âI think youâve been cheated again,
aunt. Itâs impossible that youâve bought this house.â
âShut your mouth! This house belongs to us! If itâs not ours, then what? Are you trying to
say itâs yours?â
Adrianna retorted in frustration.
Meanwhile, two security guards on patrol came over. âWho are you people, and what
are you doing here?â
âHuh? Itâs Mr. Alex! Hello, Mr. Alex. Did you forget your keys?â
