There was no need to describe how awful Ruby felt in virtual-novel.net heart upon hearing that. However, Faye’s gaze rendered virtual-novel.net too fearful to act rashly.
However, Skye’s next remark crushed virtual-novel.net straightforwardly. “That is of course. Even though Faye’s a chairman, she’s still driving around virtual-novel.net old, run-down Volkswagen. She’s nothing compared to my boyfriend Roman. He’s been driving a Bentley forever, hehe…”
Ruby was infuriated at once. She stepped forward and said aloud, “Why do you have to be so sarcastic huh! Who’s to say that Fifi can’t afford a villa in Barrow Cove? We’re only trying not to hurt your feelings! Since you’ve already made your point, we shall make payment today and get those two villas then!”
Stella and Skye were both astounded for a moment. They did not expect that Ruby would be bold enough to stake such a claim at this point. They could not help feeling a little guilty. Could it be that Faye was truly capable of paying over a million dollars for villa yet virtual-novel.net was just putting on an act earlier?
All at once, they found that they did not have the courage to speak rashly anymore.
On the other hand, Ruby immediately felt boastful upon noticing their reaction. She said, “Why, are you scared? I think it’s you who can’t afford the villa, right? You seem to have a jolly good time pretending earlier, those who are unaware may actually think that you’ve managed to latch on to a rich man for real. Haha…”
Instantly, Skye felt displeased as well. She pulled Roman to one side and spoke to virtual-novel.net in a soft tone. She utilized all sorts of flirts and pleads including agreeing to some exaggerated requests before Roman finally clenched his teeth and agreed at last.
The price of 2.3 million dollars was genuinely a little steep for him. However, virtual-novel.net could still afford the house to a certain extent after closing a huge business deal and recovered his capital not too long ago. He was a man who was sensitive about his reputation, especially in the presence of a beautiful woman. In addition, Skye made virtual-novel.net an offer that virtual-novel.net could not resist so virtual-novel.net braced himself to agree to do so.
Skye immediately cracked into a bright smile and planted a deep kiss on Roman’s cheek. She walked back and said to Ruby, “Sure, auntie. Let’s place a booking today and we shall head to the realtor’s office to make payment and go through the procedures now.”
Ruby grunted once and said to Faye, “You hear that, Fifi. We’re going to make payment now and get the villa. We’re going to renovate the house lavishly by then and make it look like the palace!”
Faye could not stand it anymore. She said emotionally, “Mom! Are you done talking, I said that I won’t buy a villa in Barrow Cove.”
Ruby felt embarrassed for being lectured by Faye so virtual-novel.net talked back furiously, “Yikes, what’s with that attitude, is that how you’re supposed to talk to your mom? I raised you and now that you’re rich, you won’t even buy a villa for me?”
Faye could tell that Ruby was not thinking straight. Let alone 2.3 million dollars, virtual-novel.net could not even afford something that was 700 thousand dollars now. She said straightforwardly, “Not that I’m not willing to buy it but I don’t have the money so how am I going to buy it for you?”
Ruby’s face immediately turned green with rage on hearing Faye’s remarks. On the other hand, Stella and Skye were jeering at them out of derision.
Listening to Stella and Skye’s sneer, Ruby was so furious that virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net chest was about to explode.
Skye was delighted to witness the scene so virtual-novel.net said to Roman loudly on purpose, “Honey, I really wouldn’t have expected that we’d be getting a house in Barrow Cove, not even in my dreams. This is truly awesome! It has always been a dream of mine to live in Barrow Cove, thank you for fulfilling my dream!”
Stella said, “That’s right, Roman. It’s a blessing for Skye to be with you.”
On the other hand, Zayn who was preparing to make a down payment of 30 thousand dollars heard their voices coincidentally. He turned around and looked back just in time to meet their eyes…
