Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 511

“Why don’t you buy some units as well? Aren’t they giving you a discount too? Or are you buying a house from your university? I heard your university’s developing some houses and subsidizing them for its staff. But if I’m being honest, the New East houses are much better than your university ones. We’re putting much more into it. Besides, those houses don’t have deeds, right? It has no benefits beyond being cheap.” The way Ray made it sound, it was like every point he made was a good one.

Clarissa smiled. “That’s right. They don’t have deeds, and can’t be sold. They wouldn’t be so cheap otherwise. However, you must be terrific since you can buy so many units at once.”

“I’ve made quite a lot of money in the past few years thanks to Damien. Don’t underestimate your ex-husband! His judgement is sharp. He always gets the best deals. My bet is that this project in Florin will make him a few billion,” Ray said.

As expected, it was difficult to make money unless you had lots of it beforehand.

In any case, Clarissa had never underestimated Damien. His natural talent and smarts for business were aspects she had always admired. He was at the peak of her regard, so high up that she could barely see it. In her mind, he was always far beyond her and anyone else.

So when it came to the ad on the dating website, had he been the one to write about his annual salary of 100 million?

If it had been him, wasn’t he being humble? He was probably afraid of making too big of a splash.

Clarissa wanted to ask Ray to lend her some money. After all, she would miss the chance after this. However, she couldn’t say the words even though they were already on the tip of her tongue. Besides, he was buying so many units that his accounts were probably low.

Ray sent Clarissa back to Marble Garden. Due to the meeting in the afternoon, Ray went up for a visit as well. After a while, he got ready to go to Eden Investments.

Ray regarded the decorations of Clarissa’s home. They were simple, with books everywhere.

“I never expected you to become a scholar,” Ray commented.

Clarissa was stunned by this. Patrick had wanted Damien to become a scholar. In the end, he hadn’t become one. Instead, Clarissa did. Life was truly unexpected.

After cleaning up a bit, Clarissa left with Ray.

When she got downstairs, she bumped into Chanel.
