“Let’s eat! The food has gone cold!” Samuel said.Yvonne felt like she was eating wax and every food she spooned into her mouth was tasteless. Her meal was no longer pleasant due to Drake Turner affecting her good mood.After the meal, she went to watch a movie and it was past ten when she reached home. Once she was home, Lydia and Godfrey were still in the living room, each lying on the sofa while looking up rental information on their phones respectively.After understanding Samuel could not possibly be a rich person and had used up all his money from buying a second-hand house, Lydia had no patience with Samuel and had an always sullen expression. She even snorted to him angrily each time she saw him.“Oh yes, it is almost the end of the month! Later when we go to grandmother’s house, you shall follow us there!” Lydia exclaimed and reminded Yvonne.Sue Family had a tradition of having a family day every month, fixated on the 28th of each month. No matter whether each family had any
Yvonne sat at the head of the bed and was panting with anger. Samuel secretly peeked at her and had a huge sigh in his heart.“This infuriates me. My mom is really unreasonable!” Yvonne did not notice Samuel's gaze as her heart was full of resentment now and there was nowhere to express.Samuel had gotten used to these kinds of matters for the past few years. Other than those that would make Yvonne unhappy which would anger him, Samuel was usually composed and could treat as if nothing happened for the rest of the happenings that might be directly aimed at him as well.Being under the radar for three years, Samuel’s heart was very strong, unlike the others. For these types of unfairness and humiliation, he was lazy to care for them.This was like an elephant on a duel with an ant who was reaching out its legs to trip him. How could the elephant feel anything at all?Besides, in the Han family, Samuel had learned to be patient and endure things silently. Otherwise, the current him would
When it was time for dinner, the Grandmother Sue appeared and she had a grand appearance, intentionally making everyone waiting for her.In such a small family, there were so many rules. Too bad these were all intentional acting and flaunt of riches. Compared to the real aristocratic family, this Sue Family was completely not at the same level. However, Sue Family people were still happily making themselves the laughing stock.“Grandmother.”“Grandmother.”“Mom.”“Mom.”Everyone addressed Grandmother Sue one by one. Once Grandmother Sue took her seat, only then they dared to follow suit.Samuel was not sitting at the main table but was with a bunch of servants in another dining table.Harvey purposefully glanced at Yara and Yara then immediately said to Yvonne, “Yvonne, your family has brought two new cars. Don’t you want to tell grandmother?”Once Grandmother Sue heard this, her brows were instantly furrowed. She knew Yvonne had changed a new car and did not plan to pursue this matter
The room was suddenly silent and if a needle fell on the floor now, it could be clearly heard.Samuel’s words made the whole Sue Family mansion to be eerily quiet and only everyone’s breathing sound could be heard.Shortly, laughter then erupted and all the people were laughing madly and clutching their bellies from the pain of laughing too much.Everyone was pointing fingers at Samuel and laughing at him. The expressions of ridicule and mockery were completely undisguised.“Samuel, aren’t you afraid of having your tongue-tied? You even dare to make up such a big lie. Are you intentionally trying to joke with us?” Harvey clutched his stomach due to laughing too much and the ridicule on his face was especially pronounced.Yara Sue’s face was beetroot red and was obviously from laughing too much. She sneered. “Oh my gosh! I laughed until I cried my eyes out. Can you not be this funny? Although we always have you as our source of happiness, you don’t have to work so hard to make us happy.
“Yvonne, I know you didn’t live well these few years but you don't have to swindle money out of the company. Did you really think I can’t see through your intentions just because I’m old with poor vision?” Grandmother Sue ignored Samuel’s words because she did not believe the money belonged to him. It was impossible to believe so.“Grandmother, my answer will remain the same. If you don’t trust me, you can audit the accounts any time.” Yvonne fearlessly looked at Grandmother Sue.Grandmother Sue did not expect Yvonne to be so adamant. Yvonne could afford to be this confident because the other family members were doing the same too. Hence, she dared to ask Grandmother Sue to check the accounts. She had made a mistake herself but wanted to drag everyone down the mud.Grandmother Sue knew very well that the consequence would be worse if the accounts were audited. The corruption figures of every family would then be exposed to everyone. It would be very clear whose family had gotten the la
In the living room, Lionel and the others were talking to Godfrey about the event on the 15th. They did not want to miss the fun. If the new house turned out pretty, they had another excuse to badmouth them to Grandmother Sue; if the house turned out ugly, they could also take this opportunity to laugh at it.Lydia was most worried about this matter being made known to the Sue family, her plan was to rent a room to deal with Fred. If she got away with it and made less contact with Fred, she would not be unmasked. However, it would be troublesome and more difficult to muddle through if the Sue family knew about it. By then, it would only a matter of time before she was unmasked. When the Sue family found out that she lied about her wealth, she would be teased to death.The news had not leaked out in the Sue family, but the whole commotion had started because of Samuel, and Lydia simply wanted to kick Samuel out of the house."Godfrey, are you really not going to invite us?" Lionel as
On the 14th of the month, Yvonne asked Samuel about the house when he picked her up after her work.It did not matter where Samuel’s house was, it would still be a home to her.However, Yvonne was a little nervous that day. After all, Drake would also be present at the house warming, she did not want to give Drake the opportunity to rebuke. She hoped that the house would be no worse than Fred’s."Didn't I point it out to you last time?" Samuel said with a smile.Yvonne glared at Samuel. He was referring to the villa at Cloudridge Hill, how could Su Yingxia take such a thing seriously?"This is not a good time for jokes, Samuel. Dad’s classmates and the Sue family's relatives will be there tomorrow, can you be honest with me now?" Yvonne asked."What can I do if you don’t believe the truth I’m telling you?" Samuel was helpless.Yvonne sighed—Samuel clearly was fooling around."Uncle Turner called my dad yesterday. He asked about the house’s location so they can start their drive
Samuel remained silent and drove straight into the mountainside. Yvonne was at a loss of words. She had so many questions but did not know how to ask them.He actually drove the car into Clouridge! He actually drove the car to the mountainside!Although Yvonne had never been to Clouridge, she had heard others mention many rules about the area.Each independent villa had its own private land. Anyone who trespassed without the owner's consent would be an offender.The villa area was developed and managed by the Skye’s of Cloud City. No one dared to risk offending the Skye family by breaking the rules of the area.The only explanation for him being able to enter, then, was that he was owned the place.When Samuel opened the passenger door, Yvonne was still stunned. She did not dare to get out of the car yet, afraid that she would step on someone else’s turf if she got out of the car."Is it that difficult to come home and have a look around?" Samuel chuckled."My....home?" Yvonne’
