Chapter 287
His Lordship Alexander Kane
The purchasing of a mansion could not wait.
Many of the executives, managers, and assistant managers, even department heads of the New Chesire Group
had moved into high-class mansions in Olâ Mare. The company car that was assigned to them was at least an
Audi A6.
How could the Chairman, CEO, and General Manager of the group stay in a small flat in Belmont Hills? They
should at least play the part!
At 10 a.m. the next morning, after dealing with some work at the office, Alexander drove his Porsche to
Baltimore Mansions.
âWe're here!â
The area of Baltimore Mansions was shaped like an elephant. Its sales center was right where the elephantâs trunk was. Ina
radius of a hundred thousand square meters, only six mansions were built.
The price of the six mansions was sky-high. Each mansion had its independent courtyard, garage, and power and water supply
system. Their facilities were the best in Olâ Mare. Ever since they were built three years ago, not one single mansion has been
sold.
This was not because the mansions were terrible. Their prices were just too high.
Olâ Mare was an expensive place to live in. Anormal commercial apartment would sell for 9000 dollars per square meter. The
average sale of the Baltimore Mansions was 78000 per square meter.
On top of that, there were assorted processing fees. The final price of each mansion was not less than 15
million!
âHow about this mansion?â
As they entered the lobby of the sales center, no sales staff welcomed them.
Alexander did not mind one bit. He held Amberâs hand and walked over to a model mansion. He pointed at the first one on top of
the hill.
He said with a smile, âThis mansion is located in the highest part of the hill. It has a great view. Do you like it?â
Amberâs eyes sparkled. She looked at the model mansion for a while before waving to a few sales ladies behind the counter.
âHello. May I ask how much is this model, the one at the highest?â
Model?
The pretty sales ladies were in business uniforms. They were chatting and playing games on the phone. When Amber called out
to them, they looked rather irritated.

One of the sales ladies, who had a name tag that read Eve Shaw, walked over with her phone sullenly. She said curtly, âMiss,
please don't joke around with me. The model is not for sale. Itâs just for show.
âIf you want to buy, I'll advise you to head to the mall. You could probably find a model mansion in the childrenâs toy department,
but it wonât be cheap! It'll cost you probably a few hundred dollars!â
Amber felt a little awkward at her rudeness. She was not asking about the model, but the corresponding
mansion number one.
Eve deliberately misconstrued her meaning. She could not finish her game on her phone, so she was infuriated.
âNot many customers will like a service with this attitude.â Alexander held Amber's hand and looked at Eve calmly. He said
calmly, âPlease get your manager over. I want to buy mansion number one. Get him to process
it right away.â
Eve was stunned. Then, she snickered.
This guy was still acting like he was a millionaire!
The wealthy people of Olâ Mare would either have their own private mansions or they would be staying in the mansions in Olâ
Mare. The Baltimore Mansions had been built for more than three years. Its prices kept going up; no one would be willing to buy
it at all.
The sales ladies had been idle for such a long time. The sales manager would only visit them a few times a
month. Where would she find him?
âSir, you can stop pulling my leg.â Eve pointed at the model mansion and said mockingly, âYouâve never bought such an
expensive mansion before, have you? Let me explain it to you. The real wealthy people will never come here. They'd contact us
by phone and get us to send the information over.
âEven if they donât call, they'd get their secretaries or assistants to come over to have a look at the situation first. Customers like
you two?â Eve giggled.
âTo put it harshly, you can afford the mansion. Donât waste our time here!â
Eve's tone was equally rude and condescending, completely disrespecting Alexander and Amber.
âAlex.â The good-natured Amber could not take it any longer. She bit her lip and tugged Alexander's sleeve. Let's not buy this.
We'll head to other neighborhoods to have a look. Olâ Mareâ is so huge. There are other
mansions!â
Alexander shook his head.
No wonder the mansions could not be sold, with such a snobbish saleslady ruining their companyâs
reputation!
âSince the manager isnât around, you'll be in charge.â He reached for his pocket to get his custom-made American Express card.
He waved it at Eve and said gently, âDo a financial check. No password required.
Process this right away. Iâm taking all six mansions.â
What?

Eve was a little stunned. She could sense that the young man was not joking around. She immediately flashed him an
affectionate smile. She accepted his card with both hands, her tone was as sweet as honey when she replied, âSir, please wait a
moment. I'll check for you right away!â
Then, she quickly ran to the counter.
With such a huge transaction, a financial check was a necessary step when buying property. Many customers
would either pay for it all in one go or do it in installments, but no matter which they choose, they would still need a financial
check to verify their assets. Then, only they could proceed with the other procedures.
A financial check without a password required was much easier. She did not need to even key in a passcode.
All she needed to do was to insert the card into a card reader machine to check the balance.
âMy god! Girls, look at this!â Eve quickly returned to the counter to check on the balance of the card. Her eyes
were about to pop out.
There were 10 zeroes! Just from one glance, she could see that the balance was more than a hundred billion
dollars!
âHave you had enough of a look?â Alexander held Amber's hand and led her to the counter. He emotionlessly added, âIf youâre
done looking, please proceed with the sales. All six mansions. Just like what you said just
now. Donât waste our time!â
