Chapter 240 Vi’s Suspicion
Vi seemed embarrassed. She was nervously rubbing her palms as she exined, “It’s the old
folks at home–she urgently needs medical treatment at a big hospital. We can’t gather that much
money quickly, so we have to sell this house. Once we have enough money in the future, we’ll buy
it back.”
Although she said this, Vi knew that once they sold the house, buying it back would be incredibly
difficult. However, they had no choice; selling the house was their only option at the moment.
Philip nced around and asked, “How many people live in your household?”
Vi didn’t understand what the number of family members had to do with selling the house, but
she answered truthfully, “Three of us now–me, my husband, and my mother–inw.”
“No children?”
“Yes, we have two–a boy and a girl. Neither of them is home. The boy dropped out early and now
earns money ying games. The girl, she …
Before she could finish, a medicine bottle tipped over with a loud bang that echoed sharply in the
silent
room.
Everyone turned to the noise’s source. Ivan quickly picked up the bottle from the floor and
apologized, “Sorry, I knocked it over by ident.”
Philip snorted in annoyance. He scolded, “So careless! What’s wrong with you?”
Ivan said nothing.
He guiltily nced at Jordan, who remained calm andposed, as if he truly knew nothing about
the situation.
Boss is impressive! Always maintaining hisposure.
After this minor interruption, Philip didn’t press for more details. He turned to Jordan and said, “This
house looks good. Buy it.”
This was the extravagance of the wealthy–not even asking for the price before deciding to buy.
????????????????????
Jordan ignored the old man and looked at Milly. He asked, “Milly, do you like this house? If you do,
we’ll buy it.”
Milly bit her lip and nced around. Although the house wasn’trge, it faced south, was well–
ventted, and looked clean and tidy despite being filled with items. It was clear that the owner took
care of it every day.
Moreover, the most important thing was …
If she guessed correctly, Vi must be Stephanie’s biological mother.
From the moment she first saw Vi, she noticed an uncanny resemnce between Vi and
Stephanie, especially in their facial features. However, there were many people in the world who
look alike; therefore, she hadn’t thought much of it.

ording to the book’s setup, Stephanie was proud and arrogant. In her previous life, when the
Buts went bankrupt, the first thing she thought of was to save herself and run away with the
money. Even in this life, knowing her biological parents, she surely wouldn’t want to give up her life
as the Buts heiress.
Moreover, now that she has been reborn, Stephanie was even more aware of her destiny and
certainly won’t sit back and wait for things to happen. From the series of events that have urred
in the past few days, it was clear that Stephanic was taking action.
However, Stephanie had emptied her savings to ask Milly for help, leaving her now penniless and
incapable of causing significant trouble.
Acquiring Stephanie’s biological parents‘ house was advantageous for Milly.
If Stephanic managed to stay with the Buts, it would be her good fortune. If she failed, having
this house would help Milly control Stephanie’s situation to some extent. It was a good
arrangement
Meanwhile, Ivan desperately signaled Milly not to agree, fearing futureplications. Milly
pretended to be unaware of the situation and informed her brother. “Jordan, I think this house is
nice. It’s in a good location and seems peaceful.”
Ivan had no words.
Ms. Milly is always sharp; why did she seem oblivious to his hints? Should I try again?
Just as Ivan took a deep breath to make another hint, Jordan spoke up, “Ivan, contact the staff to
prepare the contract.”
Ivan was puzzled. What?
Even the boss would agree?
Reluctantly, Ivan replied, “Okay, Mr. But.”
The decision was final and settled.
The house was old, remote, and in urgent need of sale. Moreover, there was an ill elderly person
living in it. The potential buyer was clearly from a wealthy family, and wealthy families are typically
most concerned about the risk of infection. Because of this, Vi hesitated and decided to ask for
90 thousand dors.
She had nned to lower the price if they didn’t agree, but to her surprise, they epted
immediately and even added an extra 15 thousand dors. This unexpected turn of events left her
overjoyed.
Since the Buts had their own legal department, the whole process was smooth. Within an hour,
all formalities werepleted, and the house deed was in Milly’s hands.
Vi was overjoyed. With this money, they could finally get proper treatment for her mother–inw,
Rita Massy.
She cautiously asked, “When do you need to move in? We can leave in a few days. If you don’t
want these things, we can take them with us.”
Milly looked around the cramped room. She couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but it felt
exactly like the room she had in her previous life when she was still a small–time actress struggling
in the entertainment industry–just as crowded and cramped.

“No, I won’t be living here. This house is for rent,” Milly replied.
Vi was momentarily stunned and asked, “For rent?”

That made sense. Their luxurious attire and distinguished demeanor clearly marked them as
members of a wealthy family. It was difficult to imagine such affluent people staying in a ce like
this.
Milly nodded, asking, “Where will you go after moving out?”
Vi answered honestly, “We’ll take Rita to the hospital first, then rent an apartment nearby. Once
she’s better, we’ll figure things out.”
Milly pursed her lips and said, “Since you need to rent a ce and we’re nning to rent this house,
why don’t you stay here and pay rent monthly? It saves you the hassle of moving, and you can keep
your things here.”

“What? This …”
Vi was clearly taken aback by such an unexpected windfall dropping into herp. For a moment,
she couldn’t react, and at the same time, she couldn’t help but be a bit more cautious.
They had bought her house, solving her urgent need for money, given her an extra 15 thousand,
and now offered to rent the house back to them. Were they really just here to buy a house?
Or did they have other motives?
