As soon as Helen heard this, she suddenly became very excited, and she blurted out, "Help me look
further into it. I want to win the bid for this mansion." 4
The old butler nodded and said, "This mansion occupies a small area and cannot be demolished in the future. So, it is considered a low-quality asset that cannot be circulated. Therefore, it should be relatively easy for us to win the bid for this mansion when the time comes." 4
"Okay." Helen replied determinedly, "We have to win the bid for this mansion no matter how much it is going to cost!"
After she was done speaking, she hurriedly asked," Uncle Walters, did you help me to speak to anyone from the judiciary? Can I go in and take a look at the mansion now?"
"Yes, yes." The old butler hurriedly said, "When I was o n the phone with them just now, they told me that they will be coming over here for the asset registration and evaluation over the next two days because they will have to collect some materials in preparation for the judicial auction. So, we can simply break the seal and lock to go inside first." 4
Helen replied anxiously, "Think of a way to break the
lock, then!"
The old butler nodded before he looked at the driver cum bodyguard beside him and said, "Lester, see if you can break the lock." 3
The bodyguard hurried forward before pulling the seal off first. After that, he took a look at the lock before he smiled and said, "Mr. Walters, the lock is already so rusty. I can break it open with just one kick.”
Helen hurriedly said, "Don't kick it! I am afraid that you will also break the gate down if you try to break the lock. See if you can pry the lock open first..."
The bodyguard took a closer look at the lock before he said, "Miss Helen, the cylinder inside the lock has already corroded. I am afraid that even if we have the key, we might not even be able to open the lock. I can only break the lock, then." 2
Helen nodded and said, "Okay, then. You can break the lock but try not to damage the iron gate. I want to keep the iron gate as it is if I can buy this mansion in the future."
"Okay." The bodyguard hurriedly agreed to her request before he took out a dagger from his waist. After that, h e placed the sharp end of the dagger into the key slot a s he tried to pry it open. 2
The gate was opened, and the lock broke because of the rust. However, fortunately, the iron gate was not damaged.
Helen could not restrain the excitement in her heart a s she pushed the iron gate open and walked in.
In the courtyard that was overgrown with weeds, there was a swing with an iron frame and iron chain. However, since the swing was really old, it was completely rusted at this time.
