At this time, one woman suddenly voiced out her opinion in an angry manner. “Isn’t this a little too much? Do you mean to say that the residents of the ordinary residential houses and high-rise buildings are supposed to take the bullet for the residents of the villas?”

Many people who were gathered around the woman nodded their heads in agreement. It seemed as though what she said really made sense.

Joe felt that this voice was a little familiar. Therefore, he raised his head to look towards the direction of the women. He realized that it was a woman with very heavy makeup on her face.

That woman was none other than Claire’s cousin, Wendy!

Why was she here?

Joe and Claire were both very surprised to see her at the sales center.

When they looked in her direction again, they realized that her father, Christopher, her mother, Hannah and also her brother, Harold were all standing beside her!

Was their family here to buy a house?

Claire turned around before she whispered to Joe, “Since Uncle and his whole family are here, let’s leave now!”

Joe shook his head before he asked, “Where should we go? Why should we leave just because they’re here?”

Claire replied, “I’m just afraid they’ll cause trouble for you again…”

Joe smiled slightly before he said, “Don’t worry. Your husband has already been bullied for so many years. I’m already used to it!”

“Okay then…” Claire nodded.

At this time, the property guide smiled before she told Wendy, “Miss, it’s true and it’s common knowledge that the Thompson First Development Company has always regarded the villa owners as our most distinguished customers. Therefore, our private swimming pool, high-end gymnasium, high- end sports club, golf courses and Michelin star restaurants from Italy are specially opened in the villa area to specifically serve the villa owners!”

Wendy replied angrily, “What do you mean by that? So, are the owners of the high-rise condominiums not human? We’re spending a lot of money to buy your property too! Why can’t we enjoy these facilities?”

The property guide could only reply, “I’m sorry but we also have a clubhouse in the high-rise condominium area. If you choose to buy one of the high-rise condominiums, you can use the clubhouse there.”

Wendy asked, “So, does that mean that I won’t be able to use any of the facilities in the villa? Will I not be able to use the golf course too?”

“No.” Then, the property guide continued, “The facilities in the vicinity of the villas are specifically prepared for the villa owners. I’m really sorry.”

At this time, Harold was extremely annoyed and he said, “What do you think you’re doing right now? Do you know that we’re already planning to purchase one of the two hundred and forty square meter units in your high rise building? Do you know how much that would cost? We’re about to spend so much money to buy your property but you won’t allow us to use the facilities inside the villa area. Do you believe that I will change my mind about buying from you, then?”

The property guide continued smiling before she said, “Sir, let me tell you the truth now. Initially, when we first started this project, we only built the outer circle of ordinary residency areas because this was a requirement stipulated by the city council. We did not have the permission to solely develop a whole plot of land just for villas since it would be a waste of land!”

“That is the reason why we built these ordinary residential houses and high-rise buildings surrounding the villas. Our priority has always been the owners of the villas.”

“If you cannot accept our conditions and rules, then you can choose to buy one of the villas instead. Otherwise, you can also choose not to purchase any of our properties. To be honest, our properties are selling very well. Even though we’ve only recently opened the sale for the ordinary residential housing area, almost eighty percent of the properties have already been sold!”

At this time, the expression on Harold’s face turned ugly immediately.

He originally thought that the property guide would have no choice but to give in to his request if he threatened not to buy the property.

However, he did not expect her nonchalant attitude at all.

Her meaning was clear and simple: “If you love it, you can buy it. If not, feel free to leave any time you want.”

At this time, a furious Harold turned around to look at his parents before he blurted out, “Let’s go! I no longer want to buy any of the properties here. We can buy properties somewhere else, since it’s not as though we don’t have any money!”

Hannah stared at her son before she said, “Why should we leave now? I want to buy one of the houses here. I don’t wish to live anywhere else.”

Harold continued persuading his mother. “Mom, do you really want to be one of those people standing guard and taking the bullet for the wealthy people living in the villas? You should be treated differently! You should not settle for less! What’s so great about the residential houses here?”

“You don’t know anything at all!” Hannah replied immediately. “Even if the environment and the facilities in the ordinary residential houses and the high-rise condominiums are not as great as those in the inner villas, this is the best high-rise condominium in Aurous Hill! The villa that your grandmother has left behind for us is too old. I’m already bored after having lived there for such a long time.”

Christopher also nodded before he said, “Your grandmother’s villa is really very old and the surrounding area is too remote. We do not have any facilities nearby and we have to travel such a long distance just to buy a pack of cigarettes! How can we even compare that to the facilities that we’ll enjoy here?”

“I’m supportive of your mother’s idea. Let’s buy one of the units here!”

Harold sighed at this time because he had been so rude and forceful towards the property guide earlier but now, he looked like a joke to the crowd of people.

Even though he was very irritated, he suddenly saw two familiar faces that intrigued him immediately. After that, he yelled, “Claire! Joe! What are you doing here?”

Claire did not expect to be spotted by Harold. However, as soon as Harold called out their names, his entire family turned around to look at the two of them. At this time, Claire had no choice but to smile as she replied, “Joe and I are here to have a look at the properties.”

Harold laughed before he said contemptuously, “Why? Can you even afford to buy any of the houses here? Your husband doesn’t even have a job and he’s living off you! Why are you still dreaming of buying a house at such a high-end place like Thompson First?”

It was obvious that Harold looked down on Joe.

Moreover, he was full of resentment towards Claire, who was a company director.

When Harold saw that the couple were actually here to view the properties at Thompson First, he wanted to seize the opportunity to satirize and make fun of them.

Joe sneered as soon as he heard Harold’s satirical tone towards Claire and himself. “What? If someone like you is able to view the properties at Thompson First, then why can’t we come here today?”

Harold sneered before he said, “The reason why my family and I are able to come here today is because we can afford to purchase one of the houses here! Can you even afford any of the houses here?”

Joe smiled before he replied, “How sure are you that I can’t afford any of the houses here?”

Harold snorted at this time. “If you can afford to buy any of the properties here, then I am a ghost! Do you know how much the houses here cost? Even the smallest house in Thompson First is one hundred and twenty square meters and it costs at least ten million dollars! Do you even have ten million dollars?”

Joe laughed. “Why would I even look at one of the smallest houses? If I want to buy a house, I’ll definitely get the biggest one.”

“Boo!” Harold said as he laughed. “The biggest two hundred and forty square meter house? You’re really too ambitious for your own good.”

At this time, Wendy also laughed as she said, “Yes, Joe. Do you really think you’d be able to afford the two hundred and forty square meter house? Even our family will not be able to afford to buy that house! Who do you think you are? How will you ever be able to afford it?”

Joe looked at her before he smiled and said, “Who says that I want to buy the two hundred and forty square meter house?”

Wendy snorted before she asked, “So, what are you saying then? Didn’t you say that you’re interested in the biggest house? Are you trying to go back on your words now?”

Joe laughed before he replied, “Wendy, you really don’t know much, do you? Don’t you know that the largest property in the entire Thompson First is the villas in the center of the community?”

“Hahaha!” Wendy started laughing out loud. “The villas? The smallest villas would also cost tens of millions of dollars! Moreover, the most expensive villa is at least one hundred million dollars. You’ll never be able to save up that amount of money even if you worked hard for eight lifetimes!”

Joe smiled before he said, “Coincidentally, I happen to own one of the biggest villas here!”

“Hahaha!” Harold and his entire family started laughing as soon as Joe finished his sentence. After that, Harold pointed his finger at Joe before he said contemptuously, “You? You’re telling me that you owe one of the biggest villas in Thompson First? Are you really trying to make a fool out of yourself, Joe?”

At this time, many of the customers who were here to look at the properties were also staring at Joe because they heard what he had just said. “He’s dressed so casually and he doesn’t look like a wealthy person at all. Do you really think he could afford to buy a villa in Thompson First?”

“If he’s actually the owner of one of the villas here, then I’d definitely be able to buy the entire Thompson First community!”

“He’s really good at bragging!”

Claire was also a little pale at this time and she quickly leaned towards Joe as she whispered in his ear, “Joe! What are you talking about? Why are you talking nonsense? Aren’t you afraid of getting embarrassed?”

Joe smiled before he said, “Why would I feel embarrassed if I’m telling the truth?”

Harold laughed as he said, “Look! Even your own wife does not believe what you’re saying right now! All the people here today aren’t dumb. Anyone can tell that someone like you does not deserve to be in this sales center!”

After that, Harold continued speaking, “Wait! I’ll get a sales person to drive you out immediately!”

Shortly after, Harold dragged one of the staff members over to Joe before he pointed at him and said, “Miss, what’s the matter with you? Why did you allow this kind of trash to enter the sales center and spoil the value of the properties here? Did you know that this person actually said that he owns one of the largest villas in Thompson First? He’s really decreasing the value of the properties here!”

At this time, the sales lady glanced at Joe and she could see that Joe was indeed dressed in very casual clothing.

Joe would certainly not be able to purchase even the smallest three bedroom house in Thompson First, let alone the largest villa.

The crowd also started shouting at this time. “Hurry up and chase this young man out! He’s really affecting our mood right now!”
