Chapter 44 Make him lose face
After putting Josiah’s subordinates in their place and returning the slap, Lachlan left the manor with Reeva.
“I never thought your martial arts skills were this impressive! Who’s your master?” Reeva asked with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
“I don’t have a master, I’m self-taught!” Lachlan replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Reeva couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Bluffing!” Her natural charm and playfulness made even rolling her eyes look incredibly alluring, leaving Lachlan feeling a flutter in his heart.
Next, they went to a different restaurant for a meal. Reeva inquired about her grandfather’s condition, and Lachlan mentioned that Caelan would need another treatment in a month to fully recover. She then helped set up a specific time for her grandfather’s next appointment.
As they neared the end of their meal, Lachlan received a phone call.
“Is this Mr. Willis? I’m one of Mr. Harris’ subordinates. The paperwork for the Emerald Green Estates villa has been completed. I’ll be sending the property deed and keys to you shortly. Would it be convenient for you to meet this afternoon?” The caller asked politely.
Although Zak’s attitude toward Lachlan had changed, the promised arrangements remained the same, and his subordinates were unaware of the change in attitude. All they knew was that Zak had specifically instructed them to assist Lachlan with this matter.
“Let’s meet directly at the entrance of Emerald Green Estates later, thanks,” said Lachlan politely.
“What’s up?” Reeva blinked and asked, seeming quite interested in Lachlan’s affairs.
“It’s nothing. Someone gave me a set of villa and asked me to go there to get the property certificate and keys,” Lachlan said indifferently.
Once upon a time, when a villa in Emerald Green Estates was presented before him, he would have been excited enough to lose sleep over it. But now, he had become much more indifferent.
Thinking back to just a week ago when he was struggling with tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills with no way out, Lachlan felt an unreal sensation. And all this was because of the dragon-shaped jade pendant. Because of it, he obtained a dragon kidney and various cultivation memories.
Feeling emotional inside again, he couldn’t help but take out that piece of jade pendant once more. He saw that it had already turned from its previous emerald green color to dullness without any light; however, Lachlan still kept it close as his most precious possession.
His father had said that this jade pendant had been passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors. Then what kind of people were his ancestors who possessed such magical jade pendants?
Suddenly, Lachlan became curious about his ancestors and wanted to learn more. Perhaps they were important figures, maybe even a dragon?
Just then, Reeva interrupted his thoughts with a question, “Someone gave you a villa? Is that for real?”
“If you don’t believe me, come see for yourself,” Lachlan replied with a smile.
“Sure, I’ll come,” Reeva said in her sassy tone.
Reeva had tagged along with her grandfather from Iylonio to visit the Ward family. Since there was nothing else to do, she figured she might as well hang out.
Since Reeva had taken a taxi there, Lachlan drove them both in his Bentley Mulsanne towards Emperor’s Garden Estate. The villas were built on hills located in the northeast of Edoland and boasted excellent geomancy. The layout faced northward and provided an unobstructed view of the entire city of Edoland.
Living here was undoubtedly a symbol of wealth and social status. Upon arriving at Emperor’s Garden Estate, Lachlan and Reeva parked their car at the entrance and waited for Zak’s staff to arrive.
A saleswoman soon emerged from the sales office and politely asked them if they were interested in viewing any villas.
It must be said that even their saleswomen were rare beauties here at Emperor’s Garden Estate.
After all, the villas here were worth several million or even billions. Only the truly wealthy can afford to buy a house here. How could they possibly entertain clients of this caliber with unattractive salespeople?
The saleswoman’s attitude towards Lachlan was naturally good when she saw him driving a Bentley. She assumed he was a rich second generation.
Although his attire was somewhat ordinary, there were plenty of low-key wealthy people these days.
Moreover, Reeva by Lachlan’s side was stunningly beautiful and made the saleswoman feel inferior.
How could anyone compare to someone with such high standards by their side?
“I already have a house here, but I haven’t moved in yet. I came to take a look today! You can go back to what you were doing,” Lachlan explained with a smile.
“Oh, then sir please enjoy yourself,” the saleswoman replied disappointedly.
Ah… so he already had a house here. If he didn’t own one yet and bought one from her, she would have earned tens of thousands just from commission alone!
Even if it meant accompanying him for meals or other activities…
But looking at Reeva by Lachlan’s side, the saleswoman thought that her looks probably wouldn’t interest him anyway…
Just as she was about to leave, an eerie voice suddenly rang out.
Of course, it wasn’t directed at her, but towards Lachlan standing at the entrance of the community.
“Hey? Isn’t that Lachlan? What are you doing here?”
At this moment, a BMW X6 parked next to them and four people got out of the car.
It was Lachlan’s ex-wife Claudia and her rich second-generation husband Tom.
In addition, there was also a middle-aged couple who were Claudia’s parents and Lachlan’s former in-laws Adam Carter and Maisie Carter.
Maisie spoke just now. She wore a gold necklace around her neck and a gold bracelet on her wrist. She walked over with arrogance and pride on her face.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Today she came here to look at villas, wearing all of her valuable jewelry that she could wear. It seemed like it would make her look like someone who had money, becoming an aristocrat in high society.
She looked down on Lachlan with an air of superiority as she asked teasingly, “Are you going to buy a villa here too?”
“How could this poor bastard afford to buy a villa here? He’s just a gigolo pretending to be someone else!”
Claudia walked over with Tom while looking down on Lachlan before taking out her phone to take pictures of him and Reeva.
“I never thought that you would be able to deceive women so well! Cheating behind your girlfriend’s back while trying to hook up with other women outside! If your girlfriend finds out about this, I doubt you will survive!”
Claudia shook the phone as she looked towards Reeva before cursing enviously, “I really don’t understand why these women are so stupid; how could they fall for such poor trash?”
Reeva was obviously more beautiful than Claudia herself. Seeing another stunning beauty by Lachlan’s side made Claudia feel even more unbalanced inside!
She was determined to humiliate Lachlan today, exposing his true nature in front of this beautiful woman. This poor guy, how dared he leave her and still manage to seduce so many gorgeous women?
