How could Tom not know what the intermediary agent was thinking? But he didn't care. There were too many misunderstandings like this. He had already become numb.
The intermediary agent mumbled a few words but didn't say anything. Anyway, the customer was the most important, so he did whatever the customer said.
"In our H City, the best villa area is Dragon Bay. The average price is more than ten million dollars, and house in the best batch is more than thirty million dollars."
On the way back, the intermediary agent was introducing some basic information. The more the intermediary agent looked at Tom, the less the intermediary agent thought he was rich.
Tom's answer was simple and straightforward. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."
Dragon Bay was indeed the best villa area in H City. It was famous in H City. Its location was good and the environment and equipment in it were also brilliant. The people who could live in it were either rich or powerful.
When Tom was still the live-in son-in-law of the Scotts, the whole of the Scotts wanted to buy a house in Dragon Bay, but they couldn't afford it at all.
His mother-in-law, Elizabeth, in particular, had been nagging for a long time. She was the one who wanted to buy a house in Dragon Bay the most. At that time, Tom was blamed by her a lot. She said he was useless.
So back then, for a while, Tom was eager to buy a house in Dragon Bay.
He didn't expect himself to be able to buy a house in Dragon Bay now. Unfortunately, he had divorced Phoebe and left the Scotts. He had nothing to do with them and there was no chance to hold his head high.
Thinking of this, Tom was quite disappointed.
To be honest, after four years in the Scotts as a live-in son-in-law, Tom was extremely despised by the Scotts. Even the trash was not as cheap as him. In the past, he had no choice but to let it go. Now that he had successfully turned the table and became a big shot in H City, it was also a lie to say that he didn't want to hold his head high in the H City. After all, he was also a normal person. No matter how mature and stable he was, he still had his own emotions and desires.
As he thought about it, he was also in a daze and did not listen carefully to the intermediary agent next to him. His performance, in the eyes of the intermediary agent, became a sign of guilt, and the intermediary agent's attitude towards Tom became more and more indifferent and contemptuous.
"Dragon Bay is here. Get out of the car." The intermediary agent said unhappily.
Tom came back to his senses. With an "Oh", he got out of the car.
When he came down, he saw that Dragon Bay was indeed extraordinary. It was completely different from other residential areas. Its gate was already majestic enough. When the intermediary agent saw Tom's gaze fall on the gate, he said proudly, "The gate of Dragon Bay is carved from all-natural marble. The price of the gate has reached three million dollars. It's very expensive."
Tom nodded and said, "Three million, not bad."
The agent said in his heart that Tom was pretending to be something.
When they went in, the intermediary agent tried to ask Tom what kind of work he did, but Tom never answered the intermediary agent's question directly, which made the intermediary agent more convinced that Tom was a poor man who could not afford to buy a house in Dragon Bay. This time, Tom came here mostly for fun. Tom would take a few photos and share them in his moments to pretend to be rich. Over the past few years, the intermediary agent met such a person very often.
Tom didn't know that he had been labeled like this by the intermediary agent. He carefully observed the villas inside to see if there was one he felt satisfied with. If there was, he would buy it on the spot in full payment.
