Elizabeth had been very annoyed recently. Kenia had been showing off in front of her these days, saying that their precious daughter Grace had found a rich boyfriend who set up an Internet company and could earn twenty or thirty million dollars a year. It was more profitable than SK Lighting of the Scotts'. And he was going to buy a ten-million villa in Dragon Bay as his wedding room with Grace.
Kenia, the wife of James' younger brother Hugo, and also Grace's mother, was always in contact with Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a vain person. How could she stand it when she heard it? At least her daughter was now the chairman of SK Company. How could she be looked down on by Kenia? So when Kenia asked her to come to Dragon Bay to select the house, she immediately agreed.
And she acted first before telling Phoebe then. It was after she came to the Dragon Bay with Kenia's family that she called Phoebe and told her to come to Dragon Bay and buy a villa.
When Phoebe heard it, she was dumbfounded. What was going on? They had a nice house in H City. There was no need to go to Dragon Bay to buy a house. Besides, even the lowest villa in Dragon Bay cost was tens of millions. How could their family afford one?
So she immediately said, "Mom, what are you thinking about? We have a house to live in. Why are we going to Dragon Bay to buy a house? There are all expensive villas over there."
Elizabeth said, "You are the chairman now, and you have the most shares. It's more than enough to buy a villa in there, okay?"
She said it very loudly on purpose and was overheard by the Kenia family. Elizabeth emphasized that her daughter was also a chairman and was no worse than anyone else!
Phoebe frowned and said, "The company has just returned to the track and is not profitable yet. Even if I have more shares, I can't afford a villa."
Phoebe's words were immediately heard by the Kenia family as Elizabeth turned on the loudspeaker. Then Kenia burst out laughing and said, "Elizabeth, you're from the countryside. You don't know that there's a difference among chairmen. Although some person is a chairman, she can't make much money. But some of the chairmen can make twenty or thirty million a year, just like Glory."
When Elizabeth heard that, her face darkened and she cursed in her heart. She turned off the loudspeaker and walked aside. She said to Phoebe, "I don't care. Come over now, or I'm not your mom anymore!"
After that, she hung up the phone.
Phoebe felt rather helpless. Fortunately, she was not too busy today. Phoebe rushed over in case that her mother did something stupid.
Seeing Elizabeth coming over, Kenia said jokingly, "How's it going? Phoebe still can't afford to buy a house? But what Phoebe said is true. You have a commercial house that is less than 100 square meters in H City, which is enough for you four. After all, the villas in Dragon Bay are too expensive. One costs more than ten million dollars. Not everyone can afford it."
Grace immediately added, "Mom, that's not true. Now that Phoebe is the chairman of the SK Lighting, her status is very high! Even grandpa has to listen to her. She's so awesome. It's easy for her to buy a villa in Dragon Bay, right? Auntie, do you think so?"
