Linus directly gave his offer without any hesitation. Sophia was in shock but she quickly recovered and agreed. “Well then, we’ll sign the contract after my husband comes home.”
It’s so easy to do business with a wealthy tyrant like Linus…
After they came out of the house, they went straight to Sophia’s house and Linus had already called his men to head over with the money.
“Oh my god, Linus, it’s a lot of money. Shouldn’t you think about it a little longer? Once you sign the contract, it’ll be too late for you to regret.”
The Imperial was in the most expensive real estate of Bayside City, and every house in this residential area had its own special characteristics. For example, Michael’s house, which was Villa no. 8, had a European style. It was luxurious but low key, and it was a great contrast to Michael’s shining identity as the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actor. Villa no. 1 that Michael used for vacation was a set of courtyards, resembling an ancient dynasty palace.
There was also Villa No. 4 where Harry lived. It had a postmodern, unique industrial style that was mysterious and charming.
Villa No. 7, where Daniel lived, was an antique garden villa. Every corner of the house was filled with a rich and strict aura, and every place could constitute a perfect landscape painting. As for Villa No. 2 that Linus was interested in buying, it had a mix of retro American country house style. It emitted a low-key and restrained aura that he liked. As long as he liked it, it didn’t matter if the price was high. Linus was a man of his word and right after he agreed to get it, he immediately went over to Sophia’s house and waited for Michael’s return to sign the contract.
“Linus, since you’re going to be living in the same area with Sophie soon, I’m going to tell you the truth. The person Sophia is married to is my uncle. You know who my uncle is, right? He’s the famous Taylor Murray!” They were about to live in the same community and Linus and Michael had a similar social status, so he would find out about this sooner or later. This was why Stanley didn’t intend to hide this from him and told him directly. After Linus learned about this, he seemed stunned. “I didn’t know that Taylor Murray is your uncle!”
Then, the few of them chatted happily as they walked toward Villa No. 8. Before they got to the house, Michael’s SUV had already driven in from outside.
When the car passed by the group of people walking by the road, the tinted car window was rolled down and revealed two handsome faces with big-framed sunglasses on. One of them had a buzz cut and one of them was blonde.
Seeing this, Sophia quickly rushed over and peeped her head into the car window. Almost half of her body was in the car.
Michael took off his sunglasses and showed his handsome face that aged like fine wine. It’s been less than a day since I last met my darling wife, but it seems that she has become more adorable. Holding Sophia’s small face, he gently gave her a kiss on the lips. Then, he suddenly realized Linus was there so he got out of the car. Surprised, he looked at Linus and asked, “Mr. Linus Michel?”
Linus took two steps forward and with a smile, he replied, “Mr. Murray, I never thought that we would meet again.” They then proceeded to shake hands politely for a while.
Harry got out of the car behind him. Then, he took off his sunglasses and looked at Linus with a complicated expression on his face.
“Mr. Michel, I know that you’re in Bayside City, but because of trivial matters that I have to deal with, I didn’t have the time to meet you. I never thought that there would be such a coincidence where you will be my neighbour. Perhaps it’s fate!”
When Michael heard that Linus was in Bayside City, he had thought of multiple ways to meet him, and he also didn’t expect to meet him under such circumstances.
Linus replied, “I just came not long ago. Mr. Murray, I hope that you’ll be able to look out for me in the future.”
They came up to Villa No. 8 and Michael invited Linus to dinner at home, where they could also discuss the transfer of the house. Still chatting, they walked ahead, and when Harry found out that delicious food was about to be served, he hurriedly followed behind them.
It seems like Nathan likes to make friends.
