Chapter 26

After the tour, the wealthy man and his mistress left, saying they needed to crunch the numbers.

The agent was the last to leave. Quennel beckoned him over.

“Sir, is there something you need?”

Quennel’s voice was cold. “Don’t bring anyone else to see this house. I’m buying it.”

The agent was stunned, clearly not understanding. “Are you serious?”

Quennel tossed a credit card onto the table. “Call her. Tell her the buyer wants to meet in person.”

The agent nodded quickly, but the more he thought about it, the less sense it made.

Were this couple just passing the property from one hand to the other, letting him earn an easy commission in the middle?

He truly didn’t understand the world of the rich

“Sir, are you really buying it, or are you just using me as a messenger to get her to meet you?”

From his years of experience, the agent could tell this couple was having a fight. He didn’t want to get played and end up with nothing for his trouble.

Quennel leaned back on the sofa. “What’s the commission? How about I transfer you thirty thousand now as a deposit?”

When the call came, Stephanie had just finished her soup and the doctor was doing his

rounds.

Hearing that someone was interested in the villa, she said, “I’m not feeling well these couple of days, so it’s not a good time to meet. If the buyer is serious, tell them to consider the price carefully. If they accept it, we can meet when it’s time to sign the contract.”

After all, she didn’t want to make a trip just to listen to someone haggle. The property was already priced well below market value.

The call was on speakerphone. The agent looked at Quennel, who gave a slight nod and wrote on the table: “Schedule the meeting for three days from now.”

She would probably be back by then. They had never fought for this long before.

This time was different–he had even involved her family–but she was still holding a grudge. Nevertheless, he was confident she would come back to him.

Chapter 26

After all, Meridian Consortium was still under his control. Their relationship wasn’t something she could easily walk away from.

Stephanie, unaware that the buyer was Quennel, agreed to the arrangement.

She had planned to return to work today, but her illness meant she would have to rest for a couple more days.

She completed her discharge paperwork and sent a message to her boss, saying she would be taking the rest of her marital leave after all.

While showering back at the hotel, she received a call from Todd. “Miss, someone is inquiring about Meridian Consortium.”

Remembering her last experience, Stephanie was more cautious this time. “Have you looked into who the buyer is?”
