Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 20

Lionel received a call and exclaimed in shock, "THAT HIGH?! Isn't it supposed to be around sixty

million?"

"Who won the bid?"

The entire family knew that Lionel was talking about the hillside villa auction after hearing what Lionel

said. Everyone turned and looked at Lionel attentively.

"I understand."

Lionel hung up the phone and sighed.

"Dad, what's the transaction price?" Harvey asked eagerly.

"Eighty-nine million," Lionel said.

The figure stunned everyone there, with the old lady unable to keep herself calm. It exceeded the

estimated price by more than 20 million, so one could imagine how intense the auction was. Most

importantly, the actual value of the villa was simply not worth that kind of money. 89 million had all been

spent just for reputation alone.

"Vara was right. It’s a mystery buyer. No one knows who it is," Lionel continued.

Waves began forming within Vara's heart. She made that remark casually but she never expected it to

be true!

She was the subject of affection, so if the house really was bought by the mysterious Hannigan family,

things would not end up being as simple as a sudden rise in one's status.

"He should show himself as soon as possible," Yara said expectantly. Although she did not know what

the other party looked like, with that kind of luxuriance, she could accept him even if he was an ugly

monster.

"Grandma, our Sue family really does have a chance to live in Cloudridge Hill Villas. Plus, it’s the most

luxurious hillside villa too," Yara said to the old lady.

The old lady was old and her heartbeat sped up exponentially at that point. Despite the identity of the

buyer being a mystery, the betrothal gifts had already been sent to the Sue family. It was very good

news regardless of which Sue family granddaughter the man fancied.

"I hope he will come forward quickly. I haven't been able to sleep for a long time because of this," the

old lady said.

After their meal, Samuel and Yvonne went for a walk i n the back garden of the villa. They kept a

distance of one meter and respected each other mutually as a married couple.

"Are you envious?" Samuel asked Yvonne.

Yvonne knew that Samuel was talking about the betrothal gifts. She nodded and said, "I'm human too.

0 f course I'm envious, but there’s no need for that. What

I have now is good enough for me."

Yvonne's frank answer made Samuel smile softly. Samuel would have thought of her as being

hypocritical if she said she did not envy it, but Yvonne would certainly not give him that kind of answer.

"Spending eight-nine million just to buy a villa. How much money do these people even earn?" Yvonne

asked Samuel curiously.

Samuel thought about it very carefully and said," Perhaps it's just pocket money to him."

Yvonne blinked her eyes speechlessly and was faintly surprised. Might it have been too much of an

exaggeration to say that the eighty-nine million was used as pocket money?

"Do you think the person who bought the villa was the one who also sent the betrothal gift?" Yvonne

asked.

"Perhaps, after all, the gift was no small amount," Samuel said. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Looks like Yara will be the one who has the best life i n the Sue family. I wonder how it would be like to

marry such a rich man." Yvonne's expression had a dearth of envy and it was purely curiosity on her

behalf.

"Do you think it's going to be Yara?" Samuel smiled.

"Even if you don’t want to admit it, there’s no doubt that she’s the most beautiful person from our

generation. A rich person as rich as that man will only look someone like her," Yvonne said matter-of-

factly.

"You're more beautiful though," Samuel remarked.

Yvonne glared at Samuel fiercely and said. "Are you crazy? I'm already married. Why would this have

anything to do with me?"

Samuel smiled and said nothing more.

Not long later, Yvonne was called away by the old lady. There was probably something that the old lady

wanted to talk to her about.

Samuel was alone in the garden. It was early summer and the flowers were blooming.

"You haven't forgotten that you hit me, have you, Samuel?" Harvey walked behind Samuel and asked

in a somber tone.

Samuel turned around. When he saw that Harvey was alone, he said disdainfully, "If you want revenge,

you'd best be getting two more people to help you."

Harvey shook his head, "Why would I hold a grudge against you? You're the live-in son-in-law of the

Sue family. Don't you know your place? Why should I stoop to your level?"

"Then why did you come here and look for me?" Samuel asked in confusion.

Harvey said, "I just wanted to tell you this. Don't think you can exploit Yvonne's power to intimidate us

now that she's in a better position. You'll always be the Sue family's live-in son-in-law. In our eyes,

you're just a

piece of garbage."

Samuel smiled faintly. He had zero interest in a verbal demonstration of bravery.

When Harvey saw that Samuel did not turn angry or refute his words, Harvey gritted his teeth and

said," You spineless coward. Look at you. All you can do is swallow your anger when I curse at you like

this."

"Harvey, are you really trying to provoke me so I'll hit you and you can complain to Grandma? Is that

the best you can do? Can't that ball of fat inside your head be a little smarter? This little trick is useless

on me," Samuel chided.

Harvey gritted his teeth. He did not expect his scheme against Samuel to be seen through so easily.

Moreover, that piece of trash even dared to insinuate that he was incapable!

"By the way, if I wanted to hit you, I'll do it irrespective of the venue. I'll still hit you in front of Grandma,

let alone inside the Sue family villa. I'm not afraid at all. D o you want to be hospitalized?" Samuel

stepped forward.

Harvey was so frightened that he took two steps back and turned into a complete mess. 1

Samuel smiled and left the backyard garden.

Harvey was so angry that he stamped his feet on the spot. He hated himself for taking two steps back.

Why was he afraid of that trash? Even if Yvonne had a position in the company, it did not mean that the

piece of garbage had the same position too.

"Samuel, I'll definitely make you kneel and kowtow to me as an apology. My surname isn't Sue if I can't

make you do that!"

Yvonne talked to the old lady for less than half an hour and Samuel did not ask what they talked about.

However, he could roughly guess their conversation from Yvonne's expression.

The old lady once told him not to covet the Sue family's property and Yvonne was probably worried

about that too.

"Are you busy this afternoon?" Yvonne asked Samuel.

"No. Why would I be busy?" Samuel asked back.

"Come with me to do some shopping. I’ve already agreed with my sisters. Is it okay if I ask you to be a

coolie?" Yvonne said.

Samuel answered, "Of course it's okay."
