ine 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, ine red at Charlie as she said this sentence because she felt a little annoyed at this
time. 2
ine did not want toe here today because she had just gotten into an argument with her
daughterst 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. 1
What did they want them to check out? Weren’t they just trying to show off the fact that they were
going to purchase a house at Thompson First? 1
ine felt very ufortable at this time but she did
not dare to reject her elder brother''s invitation.
Therefore, she rushed over with Jacob as soon as she received the phone call. 6
This was also the reason why she was so upset with Charlie. If she had a capable son-inw, then
she would be able to live in Thompson First! 2
At this time, ine looked at Hannah with a ttering expression on her face as she said, "Sister-in-
Law, you''re really amazing! I cannot believe that you are buying a house in Thompson First! I''m
really very envious of you right now. You are actually buying the two hundred and forty square meter
house in Thompson First. Do you know how luxurious that is? I really don''t know if my family will
ever be able to afford to live in such a luxurious house in this lifetime!" 6
Even though she was very upset with her elder brother and his family, ine knew that she had to
tter and butter up to them.
Harold’s mother, Hannah, had a very ugly expression 0 n her face at this time. She red at ine
before she said in a cold manner, "ine, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us?"

Hannah was so furious that she felt as though she was going to explode anytime!
In fact, the reason why they had called Jacob and ine over here today was because she wanted
them t 0 witness her purchasing the first grade high rise condominium unit at Thompson First. This
way, she would be able to act smug and cocky in front of them.
However, she would never have expected ine''s son-inw to be so capable. He actually owned
the biggest vi in Thompson First! 2
ine was so envious and she was already dying of jealousy. 1
Now, ine was deliberatelyplimenting her for buying a two hundred and forty square meter
house. Was she trying to mock her? 1
Her family was moving into a vi that was worth at least one hundred million dors! How could
ine say that she was envious of her? Moreover, ine was going on and on about how she
could never afford to live in such a luxurious ce. Was she being sarcastic? 1
ine did not know what was going on. Therefore, she tried to tter Hannah as soon as she saw
her but Hannah actually thought that she was looking down 0 n her. ine felt seriously wronged at
this time. Why would she look down on them? Why would she be praising them if she really looked
down on them? 4
ine hurriedly bit the bullet as she continued ttering Hannah, "Oh! Sister-in-Law, how could I
everpare to you? It would be the same asparing a candle to the sun! Why would I ever
look down on you? You have such a good life and you will be moving into Thompson First soon!
Look at me. I''m still living i n a small and broken house. Do you know how rotten and dpidated our
house is? How can itpare to
your new home? Of course, I envy you!"
Hannah was extremely irritated at this time and she was so furious that she was at a loss for words,
s
At this time, her husband, Christopher was gritting his teeth in anger as he stood next to her.
"ine, is it really so fun for you to continue provoking and making fun of us? Aren’t you going to be
living in a vi at Thompson First? What are you trying to prove here?" 6
After that, Christopher red at his younger brother, Jacob before he said, "Jacob, do you still
regard me as your brother? Do you have any respect left for your mother? How could you keep
something like this to yourself? You own a vi here and you did not even tell us about it?" 5
Jacob was stunned at this time. "A vi? What vi are you talking about? Brother, are you going to
buy a vi instead? You''re so rich!"
