The two security guards of Maple Villa initially had the intention of chasing away this
group of people who were creating a nuisance.
They knew that the person living in Maple Villa 8 was a good friend of Charles, and
these people were the ones making a ruckus in front of the house, banging on the gates
loudly.
They needed to be driven out. They didnât expect to see Alex amongst that lot,
so they hurriedly greeted him.
The security guardâs words surprised the rest of them. Beatrice looked at Alex, stunned.
What did they mean? What keys? The two security guards actually recognized this
waste of space?
Could it be that Maple Villa 8 was actuallyâ¦
No matter how she thought about it, she found it impossible.
Alex shook his head. âI havenât forgotten my keys, but there are people who kept
claiming that my house had been sold to them.â
Hearing Alexâs words of confirmation, the others were shocked.
Since Dorothy had already known for a while, she remained reactionless. She glanced
at the faces of Adrianna and her family, with mockery plastered on her own. They had
been showing off all kinds of things before this and even belittled their villa. It was
infuriating!
âNow, itâs your turn to be dumbfounded!â
The moment Beatrice saw her sisterâs expression, realization dawned upon her. It was
no wonder she had told her to just wait for a great show to unfold. Dorothy had already
known what was going on⦠Maple Villa 8 really belonged to Alex?!
Claireâs round eyes popped wide open her face, delirious!
Adrianna couldnât take it anymore.
She refused to believe it and pointed a finger at
Alexâs nose. âYour house?! Who do you think you are?â she yelled. âDid you think that
youâve become an elephant by stuffing a green onion in your nose? Can you even afford
a villa like this? Think youâre still Rockefellersâ young master? Youâre just an abandoned
son that nobody wants.
This house clearly belongs to us. How dare you say itâs yours?
Have you gone mad? Your mom has clearly gone out of her mind, and it seems like you
have too!â
Alex glared, his eyes as sharp as knives. âYou dare curse my mother? Iâll trash you. Try
me.â
Adrianna tilted her head proudly, revealing her neck. âYou dare?â
Dorothy obviously knew that Alex definitely dared to do it.
He had even beaten up his own mother-in-law when he got mad, what more an aunt like
her?
She immediately cut in and said, âAunt, youâve really been deceived. This house is
Alexâs current residence. Iâve also been here before, hence the reason why I said you
might have been deceived when you said it was Maple Villaâs 8 but you wouldnât listen!â
The two security guards interrupted. âThatâs right. Maple Villa 8 belongs to Mr. Alex.
There has never been a change of owner, and if there was, weâd definitely be informed
and be aware of it.â
Claire felt refreshed immediately, the lingering feeling of depression she had when she
heard that her sister had bought a house now washed off. âOh, sister, buying a house is
a huge matter, and yet youâve managed to mess it up.
I really donât have anything more
to say. Youâve actually bought my daughterâs house? If you had told me earlier, this
wouldnât have happened, and you wouldnât have lost two million to a conman. Now,
look. Even the person is gone!â
Taylor beat herself up, obviously in deep remorse. She raised a hand and swung a slap
across Sharpayâs face.
âYou cheap bitch! Changing boyfriends every day⦠Now youâve
gone and done it. All our moneyâs swindled away, and our family will now go cold and
hungry.â
Tears streamed down Sharpayâs face as she clutched the cheek that had been slapped.
She glared at Alex resentfully, as though it was him who had lied. Adrianna couldnât
accept this fact. It was two million dollars, and it had taken their family many years of toil
to accumulate that amount.
Now, it was all gone. She was that close to losing her mind.
She pushed the security guards out of the way. âLiars, all of you are liars. Youâre all
colluding with this piece of trash to deceive us! Where would he find the money to buy
this house?! Rockefeller! You think I didnât know?
The Landscape and the Snow Lotus
art pieces that you had were all fakes. Your mother colluded with that Christopher
Lawrence to scare people off, and your mother-in-law confessed this matter herself. Itâs
simply because we canât get through my son-in-lawâs phone for the moment. When he
comes, the entire truth will be revealed.â
Alex gave her a cold smile, too lazy to be bothered about her anymore.
He took out the key and opened the big iron gate with a âbeep.â
Then, he turned to Claire and said, âSince youâre here, Morn, come on in and have a
seat. I was just about to make some breakfast.â
âOf course. Iâm a little hungry. I havenât had breakfast yet.â
Although Claire wasnât on good terms with Alex and was always looking for an
opportunity to scold him, she was in an extremely good and generous mood since he
had given her such an ample opportunity in front of her sister and brother-in-law.
They entered the door to the villa.
