Chapter 930
At Elliot’s house. He returned home and was about to head upstairs when Mrs. Scarlet called out after him.
“Master Elliot, there is something I wonder if you’ve heard about?”
Elliot turned around and looked at Mrs. Scarlet. “What is it?”
“It’s about the old mansion.” Mrs. Scarlet had a heavy expression. “Your brother is planning to sell it.”
Elliot’s gaze darkened a little. “Who did you hear it from?”
“My nephew is into real estate. He called and told me.” Mrs. Scarlet’s eyes reddened and glistened with tears, “Master Foster, your brother surely must have run out of money, which is why he is selling the mansion. Sigh! How could he bear to do it!”
“Are you trying to ask me to give him money?” Elliot put both hands in his pocket. He looked straight at Mrs. Scarlet.
She shook her head furiously, “Of course you can’t give them money! They are ungrateful people. Madam Rosalie treated them so well, yet they killed her! I thought that you might want to buy the old mansion. Even if you don’t stay there, it’s better to not let others move in too. If the old mansion were to switch owners, others will surely talk about the Fosters.”
Mrs. Scarlet was doing this for the Fosters’ reputation, so she suggested this to Elliot.
Elliot was wealthy. It was not a problem for him to buy the old mansion.
“I’ll get someone to go take a look tomorrow,” Elliot said, “Go to bed!”
“Have you had your dinner?” Mrs. Scarlet asked immediately, “I’ve made dinner, but you did not return to eat, so it’s still on the table.”
If Mrs. Scarlet did not ask him about it, he would not have realized that he had not had dinner
yet.
He went straight to the Starry River Villa after work. When he arrived at Avery’s house, they had already finished their meal.
