Leonard continued, “That’s not a problem. Once the payments come in and we have more cash, we can pay a bit extra and buy the villa from someone else.”
Rena’s lips twitched. She wanted to retort that who would buy a second–hand house as a marital home? Nonetheless, her husband had made his point. Considering the tight financial status of the company, she had no choice but to give in.
However, the Lakeview Villa remained a sore spot for her. She felt unsatisfied that she couldn’t buy it, but they lacked the funds to do so.
“Are you sure it’s the Lakeview Villa?” Rena asked over the phone to confirm it.
Jenny smiled. Clearly, everyone found it unbelievable that Lionel’s poor and downtrodden family actually bought a villa.
Jenny exclaimed, “I saw the property purchase agreement with my own eyes. It can’t be a mistake. Moreover, Mindy admitted it herself. She said Miranda bought it for them as a gift. Oh, how I wish I had such a capable daughter! Mimi may be a woman, but it looks like she’s even outshining Jack!”
Jack had started his own company, but even he hadn’t given his parents a villa. Rena’s tone grew coldes as she spoke, “Miranda is certainly a good daughter, but does she really have that much money?”
“Oh, I wouldn’t know about that. Rena, don’t underestimate young women these days,” Jenny answered.
Rena didn’t pursue the topic of the villa any further. She simply said, “Come over and pick up the stuff when you’re free.”
“I’ll come tomorrow. I’ll get Harold to drive over to get it.”
“Alright.” Jenny put away her phone when the call ended.
Harold frowned. “Why are you spreading the news everywhere? Are you afraid that no one will find out Lionel’s family bought a villa?”
This behavior was unlike Jenny’s.
“What do you mean by that? We’re all one family and they’re not outsiders! We need to share the great news now that Lionel bought a villa!” Jenny retorted.
“What are you really up to?” Harrold knew his wife’s behavior too well.
Jenny snorted, “I’m just letting everyone know so that they will go and congratulate Lionel. What’s wrong with that?”
Harold insisted, “You definitely have a hidden agenda.
Jenny chuckled slyly and nudged him. “I didn’t know you knew me so well…”
