The neighborhood, consisting of bungalows and villas, was built right next to the Elm River. It was also equipped with a lake, sports center, and other facilities.
The salesperson brought Cate and Mireya on a tour the entire afternoon. When they returned to the sales unit, the manager was shocked upon recognizing Cate, and he immediately informed the boss. The boss quickly called Hadley and the latter passed on the message to Shaun. “Eldest Young Master, Miss Cox is looking to purchase a house.”
The man, who was reading work documents in the office, frowned. “What is she trying to prove? It was just a small argument. Does she really not want to come home now?”
“…”
Hadley did not think it was just a small argument. However, he knew he should console the man instead of further provoking him. “Perhaps… She’s making an investment? Many rich madams are doing the same too.”
The tensed features on Shaun’s face relaxed. After a brief consideration, he said, “Since my wife is planning to buy a property… Tell them to give her the best discount. Hmm, a 90% discount.”
“…”
The corners of Hadley’s lips twitched. “But Eldest Young Master, Young Madam will definitely be suspicious if you were to do so. She might even change her mind about buying it.”
Shaun threw him an annoyed look. “70% then. They can’t go lower than this.”
“Um… Sure.”
Hadley was speechless. This was his first time seeing the boss trying to give a customer more discount than he should have.
…
In the Oceanic Garden.
Cate and Mireya were extremely satisfied after the tour. The only thing that put her off was the price because it was slightly out of her budget. The cheapest property here would cost at least hundreds of million dollars.
“Please give me your best price. I’ll need a few days to consider this,” she said in the end.
“Sure, let me check it with my leader.”
The salesperson was away for five minutes before reappearing excitedly. “Miss Cox, great news! Our leader says you’ll be our 1000th customer if you place the deposit today. Any property of your choice would be given a 50% discount, and you would even earn the chance to join our special lucky draw. Some of the prizes include a further discount on the property, free refrigerator and household appliances, luxury gifts worth hundred thousand dollars, and so on.”
“…”
Cate was overwhelmed by the sudden information.
Mireya screamed out of excitement. “You’ve won the lottery! Hurry up and place your deposit already. There’s no need for further consideration.”
“That’s right. Only our 1000th customer can get these benefits. It’s worth the money even if you purchase the property and forget about it later on,” the salesperson echoed exaggeratedly.
In the end, Cate paid the deposit and tried her luck in the draw. The salesperson looked at it and covered her mouth as she screamed aloud. “Oh my god, you’re the luckiest person on earth! You’ve drawn the further discount prize. You get a further 20% discount on top of the 50% from before. In other words, you’ll get a total of 70% discount! You can have a fully-renovated luxurious property that normally costs two hundred and eight million dollars at only a total of 80 million dollars! That’s amazing!”
“…”
Cate had no words.
She felt as if a lucky spell had been cast upon her.
Could her fate have changed for the better after leaving Shaun?
She walked out of the sales unit feeling dazed.
Mireya was not any better than her. “I’ve never met such luck when purchasing properties. Do you think it’s possible that Shaun is secretly…”
“No way. He’s probably enjoying his time with Shelley. The only time he thinks about me is probably to lock me away again.” She pouted.
“You’re right. Perhaps even god took pity on you. Forget it. Let’s head back to the hotel and pack up our belongings. We should go to the pub tonight to celebrate your wins!”
Mireya draped her arm around Cate’s shoulders.
The latter did not refuse. After all, it had been a long time since she went to a pub.
……
9:00 p.m.
The two of them walked into the pub together.
Cate had not been in this environment for a long, long time. Being here reminded her of the simple and carefree life before she got married.
However, not long after they started drinking, they were approached by a cocky young man dressed in a floral shirt.
“Mireya, what a coincidence that we meet again.” The man caressed Mireya’s face with a sly smile.
Mireya’s face sank immediately and pushed his hand away. “Thomas Neeson, I’ve stated clearly that I’m not interested in you. Keep your hands off me.”
Cate was shocked that this man was Sarah Neeson’s elder brother.
“Don’t say that. You might not be able to keep your hands off me once you’ve seen how great I’m in bed.” He continued to harass her with an evil smile on his face. “It’s your honor to be my woman.”
“Thomas Neeson, I’ll either call your elder sister or the police if you keep this act up.” Cate positioned herself in front of Mireya.
“Ugly duckling. Who do you think you are?” He stared at her for a few seconds before he suddenly laughed. “Oh, you’re Shaun’s wife. No wonder you’re so arrogant.”
Cate frowned, but Mireya poked her head forward from the back. “That’s right. Cate is the wife of the Eldest Young Master, and I’m her best friend. Harassing her is the same as harassing him.”
Thomas laughed aloud after he heard that. “I’ll be scared if Shaun is here, but this is just his wife. Honestly, even if I slept with his wife tonight, the most he’ll do to me is punch me a few times in the face. Do you believe me?”
Cate felt her heart sink at the sight of his arrogant face.
However, she had to admit that he was probably right.
This man was the blood brother of Sarah Neeson. Shaun would not do anything to him even if he destroyed the whole world.
Thomas sized her up and down like a pervert. “Tsk, you’re really ugly and nothing compared to my sister. You wouldn’t be married to Shaun if not for your luck.”
“Will you stop?” Unable to endure it much longer, Mireya’s hands slammed down on the table. “I don’t care who your younger sister is. With a brother like you, I bet she’s probably just a cheap b*tch.”
“You stupid woman. I’ll change my name if I don’t sort you out tonight!”
With a twisted face, Thomas reached out his arms to grab Mireya’s shoulders. At that moment, a beautiful hand appeared out of nowhere to grab him by the wrist.
“Who the hell is…” He looked over his shoulders and froze the second he noticed Charity’s elegant, cold face.
“I remember telling you to stop harassing Miss Lynn.” She looked at him indifferently.
A hint of intimidation flashed across his eyes but vanished as quickly as it came. “Charity, who do you think you are to meddle in my business?”
“So I should allow you to keep messing about and bring shame to the family?” She applied more pressure around his wrist.
“Ouch… It hurts!” Thomas bent over from the waist in a grimace but could not struggle free from her grip no matter how hard he tried. “Let me go, Charity. You aren’t better than me. The Neeson family is crumbling because you’ve offended the Eldest Young Master. It’s all your fault!”
“…”
Charity frowned.
The man smiled smugly at the sight of that. “Let me give you a word of advice. Eldest Young Master will only forgive you once you hand over Neeson Corporation to me. Do you wish to see the corporation torn apart because of you?”
“Shut up. Neeson Corporation would be destroyed under your leadership.” Charity grabbed Thomas’s shoulder and flipped him over hers. The man was mercilessly flung to the ground under the public gaze.
Both Cate and Mireya were stunned. However, the latter was first to break the silence by applauding loudly. “You’re so awesome and cool!”
Thomas was furious at being criticized and ridiculed by the crowd. “Charity, I will not let this go unsettled.”
Then, he climbed up to his feet and stumbled out of the pub.
“Thank you.” Cate poured two glasses of red wine and handed one over to Charity.
She had a good first impression of this woman, but tonight, she was really impressed.
“Don’t worry. I was just passing by. The pub owner told me he was harassing women again, so I came to have a look.”
Charity took a sip of the wine.
