Chapter 64 The Scheme
Just as she spoke, Margaret dragged Josephine out of the house, giving her no chance to decline.
“Stupid girl! Do you realize that you almost handed No. 1 Villa to another girl on a silver platter?” The moment they left, Margaret tapped her knuckle angrily on Josephine’s head.
She had almost burst a vessel.
“Just let them move in. What’s the big deal about me not living there?” Josephine wasn’t bothered by it.
“Josephine, you are already in your twenties. Can you stop being so childish?” Margaret gave Josephine a look of disappointment. “When Jonathan used to be a cowardly piece of trash, no girl would even fancy him. But now that he is living in No. 1 Villa, there will be tons of girls dying to get in his bed! If you don’t take your chances, someone else will!”
“Let them have it then!” Josephine replied indifferently.
Although her impression of Jonathan had improved, she hadn’t reached the stage where she couldn’t do without him.
“Hmph! There’s no way we’re going to let some other girls take your half of the house,” Margaret scoffed as a cunning glint flashed in her eye. “Josephine, after you move in, you must get the ownership of the house transferred to your name.”
“What for?” Josephine furrowed her eyebrows.
“You’re such a fool!” Margaret glared at her. “Only by having your name on the title deed would you truly be the lady of the house. Or else, what happens if Jonathan is seduced away by a vixen and kicks you out?”
“There’s no way he would agree to that. Furthermore, I won’t do it either!” Josephine rejected Margaret’s idea outright.
There was no way she would participate in such an underhanded scheme.
Even if Jonathan had bought the house instead of borrowed it, she wouldn’t do it either.
Considering she had nothing to do with the house, she felt that she had no right to ask for its ownership to be transferred to her.
“All you need to do is to gently persuade him to do so. Isn’t it easy?” Margaret sneered. After all, she was confident of her methods when it came to someone as useless as Jonathan.
“Mom, what are you taking me for?” Josephine’s expression drastically darkened. “What’s the difference between what you’re attempting and scamming someone?”
“Stupid girl! How can you say such a thing? This isn’t a scam. You are undoubtedly the lady of No. 1 Villa. So, what’s wrong with having its ownership transferred to you?”
Margaret’s exasperation was written all over her face.
Why is my daughter so dumb?
An hour later, Margaret called a moving company and moved everything they had from the Smith residence over.
The moment they arrived at No. 1 Villa, she behaved like the lady of the house as she ordered the movers to stuff everything she brought into the mansion.
With that, the glorious No. 1 Villa was inadvertently degraded by a few rungs.
Nevertheless, she criticized the movers with her hands on her hips. “Be careful. Can you even afford the compensation if you break something? Do you know where this is? This is the No. 1 Villa of Edenic Heights. The most expensive mansion in Jadeborough! If you scratch the walls, your annual salary wouldn’t be enough to pay for it!”
