At this time, the sales lady walked up to Joe before she said, “Sir, if you’re not going to buy a house today, then please leave now. Do not affect the other customers who are here to purchase our properties today.”
Claire sighed before she tugged at Joe’s sleeves and said, “Let’s go, Joe. Let’s have a look elsewhere instead.”
Other people also started booing Joe at this time. “If you are poor, then please leave instead of being an embarrassment here!”
Joe remained motionless before he said with a smile, “Do you know why all of you cannot afford to live in the villas here? It’s because you’re all short-sighted and there’s no way any of you will be able to afford to live in a villa in this lifetime!”
Harold continued insulting Joe at this time. “Hahaha! Joe, are you really going to continue to lie here? Is there anyone here today who isn’t richer than you?”
Joe raised his eyebrows before he said, “Harold, you keep saying that I’ll never be able to afford any of the properties in Thompson First. What are you going to do if I really do own one of the villas here?”
At this time, Harold laughed before he pointed at the tallest high rise building on the table before he said in an arrogant manner, “If you can afford to own any of the villas here, then I, Harold, will jump from the top of this building!”
Many people who were surrounding them also followed suit as they shouted, “Yes! If you can afford to own any of the villas, I’ll jump off that building too!”
“That’s right! I’ll jump off the building if you actually do own one of the villas in Thompson First! I can’t tolerate anyone who pretends to be someone they’re not!”
Claire had never felt more embarrassed than this in her life! Therefore, she started complaining as she reprimanded Joe, “Joe! Do you really want to challenge them and embarrass yourself now?”
At this time, Joe remained calm as he smiled and said, “My dear wife, why are you so sure that your husband will end up embarrassing himself?”
After that, Joe took the key to the villa and the access cards out from his pocket before he said, “Look at this. This is the key and the access card for Villa A05.”
Wendy laughed as she replied, “Joe, do you really think that we’ll believe you just because you are holding a random key in your hand? Do you really think that we’re mentally retarded?”
Joe handed the key and the access card over to the sales person before he said, “Well, why don’t you check if this key and access card is real?”
The sales lady could recognize the key and access card as soon as Joe took it out from his pocket. She knew that this was the key and access card that was exclusive to the owners of the villas in Thompson First. She was really shocked at this moment.
Was this person really an owner of a villa in Thompson First? If he really owned one of the villas, she would definitely lose her job because she had just tried to kick him out of the sales center a few minutes ago.
As she thought about this, she took the key and access card from Joe before she scanned the card on the information reader in the sales center. At this time, the reader suddenly exclaimed in a robotic voice, “Hello, Mr. Smith, the distinguished owner of Villa A05. We welcome you home!”
At this time, the sales lady suddenly exclaimed in shock. “Are you Mr. Smith?”
“Yes,” Joe nodded immediately. It seemed that Zeke had already transferred the villa’s ownership over to Joe.
The sales lady quickly handed the key and access card back to Joe before she panicked and said, “Mr. Smith, I am so sorry for my behavior earlier. I really did not know that you are the distinguished owner of Villa A05. Please forgive me for what happened earlier.”
Everyone present at the scene was stunned.
Joe was actually the owner of the biggest villas in this community? Was this a joke? How could someone like him afford to purchase a villa in Thompson First?
The expression on Harold’s face was also extremely ugly. What was going on? He really could not believe that Joe could actually afford to buy this villa.
But the sales lady would not be lying, would she?
Moreover, she had even scanned his access card and it seemed as though the machine recognized Joe as the owner of the villa…
What was happening?
The sales lady was panicking because she was worried that she would lose her job since she had offended Joe. However, Joe simply waved his hand before he said in a faint manner, “Don’t worry, this is a small issue. I won’t hold this against you.”
After that, Joe continued speaking, “By the way, could you please explain what Villa A05 is to all these short-sighted people here today?”
The sales lady hurriedly explained, “The villas in Thompson First are divided into four different categories: A, B, C, and D. The scarcest category is category A, which has the largest area. The villas in category A consists of three levels, including a basement. There is also a private elevator within each villa, with each villa measuring more than one thousand square meters large. It also consists of a front and rear courtyard. The price of one of these villas is over one hundred million dollars. This is the most expensive villa in Thompson First and perhaps even in the entire Aurous Hill!”
Everyone’s jaws dropped as soon as the sales lady finished her explanation.
Joe owned a villa that was worth more than one hundred million dollars? How could a person dressed in such casual clothing actually own such a luxurious villa?
Harold’s expression was extremely ugly and his parents and sister were already dying of jealousy at this point.
Wendy suddenly asked, “Joe, how did you manage to buy this villa?”
Joe smiled faintly before he replied, “Someone gave it to me.”
“Why would anyone give you this villa?” Wendy asked in a furious manner. Her heart was sinking at this time because she knew that she would never be able to live in such a luxurious villa in her entire lifetime, but how could someone like Joe possibly live here?
Joe was too lazy to even respond to her question. However, at this time, he simply stared at Harold as he asked, “Harold, didn’t you say that you would jump off the highest floor of the building if I owned one of the houses here? When will you be jumping?”
Harold’s face turned pale immediately as he clenched his fists tightly together. “Joe, you rat! Don’t try to be smug with me! I still don’t believe that you can afford to own this villa, nor do I believe that someone would actually give you this villa. It is completely impossible! Tell me the truth. How did you get this villa?”
Joe shook his head and smiled before he exclaimed, “It seems as though some people really cannot afford to lose in a confrontation.”
After that, Joe looked at Harold again before he said, “Harold, with your abilities, the most expensive thing you’d ever be able to afford is one of the ordinary high-rise units around the vicinity of the villas. It seems as though you’ll be one of those to take the bullet and stand guard for me. Anyway, the most important thing you need to know today is that you’ll never be able to afford to live in this villa in this lifetime!”
“You…”
Harold’s face turned very dark at this time.
This was the first time he had ever been insulted by Joe. However, what was even more hateful was the fact that he could not retaliate at all!
How could he retaliate? Even if they used all the money they had, the most expensive house they could afford to buy was the two hundred and forty square meter house. If they chose to purchase that house, his family would be under a great deal of stress. That was the reason why they were still hesitating to make the purchase. However, Joe actually owned the biggest and most luxurious villa here! The gap between them both was just too big!
Moreover, Harold could not tolerate Joe’s calm and arrogant attitude at this time. He was really provoking him.
Harold gritted his teeth before he said, “Joe, don’t you have any respect for the Wilson family at all? You own such an expensive and big villa but you didn’t say anything to the Wilson family.”
Joe smiled before he said, “I thought you’ve always said that I am not a member of the Wilson family? Why should I tell you anything, then?”
After that, Joe turned around before he said to Claire, “My dear wife, why don’t we check out our new villa now?”
Claire could not stop herself from blurting out, “This…Joe, what’s going on?”
Joe smiled and said, “I’ll explain everything to you later.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, Joe suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Oh! Eldest Brother and Sister-in-Law, are you guys buying a house in Thompson First? That is amazing!”
It was Joe’s mother-in-law, Elaine!
The person accompanying Elaine at this time was none other than her husband, Jacob!
Joe and Claire were a little surprised at this time. Why were they here?
Claire hurried forward before she asked, “Mom! Dad! Why are you here?”
Elaine replied, “Your aunt and uncle called us to inform us of their intention to check out the houses at Thompson First as they’re intending to buy a house here. They invited us here to help them look around today.”
In fact, Elaine glared at Joe as she said this sentence because she felt a little annoyed at this time.
Elaine did not want to come here today because she had just gotten into an argument with her daughter last night as she wanted to move out of their house.
Unexpectedly, she actually received a phone call from Christopher, asking her and her husband to come over to check out the properties with them.
