The Harper Family wanted to move from Riverdale to Bayside City Center because that was the best location in the entire Bayside City.
Their new house was in the wealthy suburb of Bayside City and close to the ancient Imperial Palace.
The best real estate in Bayside City was The Imperial, which was developed by Asco International.
The Harper Family had developed a copycat real estate near The Imperial, which was called The Luxurious 16. No, from their point of view, it could not be considered as an imitation as they had merely used The Imperial’s name for reference.
Everybody would do everything possible to search for a copycat version of The Imperial once the real deal was out of stock, which was when The Luxurious 16, developed by the Harper Family, arrived. It was a villa residential area, specifically developed for the wealthiest people in Bayside City with a total of sixteen properties and each property had a market value that exceeded 100 million.
Although it could not be compared to the original version, it was still extremely popular. Therefore, all of the properties were snapped up the moment they were offered for sale.
After all, the Harpers had been in the real estate industry for decades, so they were still competitive in the property market.
On the way to their new home, Mrs. Harper, who was sitting beside Richard, started to scold in a loud voice, “That b*tch is utterly useless. We told her to take the chance and advise Joel when they’re in bed. Just look at what she’s done now. We lost the Harpers’ ancestral home thanks to her! Pfft, she’s merely a loose woman! She will never be able to be a part of the Harper Family!”
She was obviously referring to Sophia.
Director Jenkins had claimed a day ago that he was ready to perish with the Harpers, even claiming that he would destroy them even if the emperor was on their side. However, he changed his mind the next day and explained that as long as the Harpers handed over their real estate with some money, he would be willing to settle the matter under the table. It was obvious that someone tried to mediate between both parties. From the way things looked, it seemed that Sophia had done something after all and it appeared that bedding Joel meant that she had his ear.
Nevertheless, Mrs. Harper was unsatisfied. In fact, she was furious beyond reason and acted as if the Harpers lost their house due to Sophia’s incompetence.
Richard was already feeling down and gloomy, so he couldn’t no longer endure Mrs. Harper’s complaints. “Mom, can you please drop it? Sophia did everything she could. She has tried her best!”
Mrs. Harper refuted him straight away. “We lost our ancestral home, but here you are taking the b*tch’s side? If she had been more reliable, we wouldn’t have lost our ancestral home!”
“If she had worked harder, your younger sister would have been released by now! Do you truly believe that rascal Jenkins would not listen to what Joel commands him to do? Bah! She’s nothing but a loose woman! You will not contact her again in the future!”
Richard was rendered speechless by his mother’s words, knowing in his heart that if Sophia had given it her all, nobody in Bayside City would refuse to release Kayla once Joel gave his order. Who has the courage to go against Young Master Fletcher’s command?
Right now, Sophia and Joel…
The successive blows made him look haggard, as if he was wasting away. He supported the weight of his head on his hand and stared out of the window at the passing scenery in a daze. Sophia, why didn’t you do your best? If you had done better or worked harder, we wouldn’t be in this situation now.
Suddenly, Mrs. Harper looked as if something struck her mind and she broke the silence, “No, you still need to control that girl!”
Her eyes dazzled when she grabbed Richard’s sleeve. “Your sister’s affairs were resolved quickly this time, so it proves that the girl has a certain influence on Joel.”
“You need to get her to continue staying by Joel’s side and have his ear. You have to think about Kayla and create more opportunities for her! Even if she can’t marry Joel, you need to find a way to get her married to one of the Fletchers. I heard that Joel has a younger brother and a nephew. You need to tell your girl to come up with a plan to make sure that your sister gets in touch with the Fletcher Family! Once your sister seals the deal with the Fletchers, you can toss away that loose woman! You are not a recycling center, so why would you want to take a woman who was with Joel?”
Mrs. Harper wouldn’t stop nagging, which eventually annoyed Richard. “I’ll see about that…”
