Claire hated this family.
She hated the woman, Madam White, especially, as she would always boast about her
son-in-law to the point that it was getting very annoying.
Claire clicked her tongue out of frustration. âWhat are you guys doing here?â
Madam White chuckled. âIâm here to look for a nice place to buy, what else? Oh, did you
think Iâm here just to window shop like you?â
Beatrice huffed. âHow would you know if we can afford a villa or not?â
Madam White laughed louder. âOf course I do, weâre neighbours after all! How would I
not know? I heard that your villa will be taken away by the Assexes, which is probably
why you need a new place soon! But do you guys know that villas in Senna Port cost
more than ten million?
Not just anyone could buy a villa in this area, you know? Thereâs
no way you could use a twenty million dollar fake cheque here.â
Madam Whiteâ son-in-law asked, âTwenty million dollar fake cheque?â
She cackled and pointed to Alex. âThatâs Claireâs son-in-law. He had given his
mother-in-law a fake cheque a while ago. And boy, let me tell you, when she brought it
to the bank, they told her that it was a fake! God, my stomach hurt from all that
laughing!â
Alex said calmly, âThen you should calm down. Your old *ss is suffering from both
diabetes and high blood pressure. Donât die from laughing too hard.â
Madam Whiteâ daughter yelled. âHow dare you speak like that to my mom?â
Alex replied, âIâm just stating facts.â
Alex decided to not waste any more energy on this family. He turned to the saleswoman
that had been following them as they browsed.
âShow us to the villas for sale.â
âHold on!â
Madam White approached the saleswoman. Young lady, if you want to earn some
commission, itâs best that you assist someone else. Thereâs no way that they could
afford the villas here. Why donât you assist us? You can give us a brief introduction to
the villas here, we might be buying one today.â
Claireâs voice was cold. âYou? Do you even have the money?â
Madam White replied, âWhy wouldnât I? I might not have the money, but my son-in-law
does, unlike someone else I know. I heard that he hasnât earned a penny for the past
year, right? And didnât he even have to kneel before his mother-in-law to get a meal?
Oh, and wasnât he struggling to pay property costs just the other day? Hah, yet youâre
still here to window shop. Dream on!â
She turned to the saleswoman again. âCome!â
The saleswoman glared at Alex and the others with disgust before rushing towards the
other family without a word.
Claire was so angry that she started stomping the ground. Alex couldnât help btit laugh.
âWhy are you mad at a diabetic patient?â
Beatrice asked, âShe called you a loser, that you relied on women. Arenât you mad?â
Alex shook his head. âSheâs nothing more than an insignificant pest to me. Why would I
be mad?â
âThen does that mean you think Iâm an insignificant pest too? You never defended
yourself when I yelled at you.â
Alex decided not to lie. âIf you werenât Dorothyâs sister, youâd be even more insignificant
than a pest.â
Beatrice was about to explode. Shooting him a dirty glare, she decided that she would
empty out his wallet later.
Alex, on the other hand, called for another saleswoman. There were many of them
working in the center after all. However, when one of them came over, Alex froze.
âI know her.â
âPriscilla Paytas? Why are you working here as⦠A saleswoman?â Beatrice asked,
obviously surprised.
They were studying in the same university after all. With their titles as one of the most
beautiful girls in the university and a member of Devil Coven, they were quite popular on
campus. Hence, the two were well-acquainted with each other.
Priscilla was wearing a standard uniform, seemingly more mature than usual. Due to
her doll-like face, this was a fresh new look for her.
âBrother Alex, Beatrice, what a coincidence! I decided to work here part-time during the
holidays.â Priscilla decided to greet Alex before greeting Beatrice. Michelle had
mentioned a lot of things about Alex in the past. So, she knew what her blood was used
for as well.
After a brief explanation, they understood her reason for working there.
Priscilla came from an average family. One of her cousins worked in the realty company
and suggested that she worked there part-time. If she were to sell a villa successfully,
sheâd be able to earn quite an amount of commission.
âAre you here to buy a property? The villas here are very expensive, you know.â Priscilla
smiled as she stuck her tongue out cheekily.
âLetâs take a look at those villas!â Claire pointed towards one of the models that seemed
to be placed near a river.
âAlright!
