Chapter 221
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. From NôvelDrama.Org.
"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.
With his current financial strength, it was so easy for him to buy a villa worth tens of millions. It was
easier than buying a pack of cigarettes as ordinary people did.
"Take me straight to the most expensive villa in Dragon Bay."
Tom looked for a while, but found nothing satisfactory. He frowned and said to the intermediary agent.
The intermediary agent looked lazy and said, "In order to prevent some people who can't afford to buy
villas come here deliberately to see those villas they won't buy, the real estate enterprise here has
made a rule. To look at the most expensive villas in Dragon Bay, one has to pay a deposit of 200,000
dollars. If one can't, then one can't see those most expensive villas."
"Is there such a rule?" Tom frowned. He had lived in H City for so long, and he had never heard that
one had to pay a deposit first before looking at the house. And he had to pay two hundred thousand
dollars in one breath. That was too much.
Tom's reaction convinced the agent that Tom was not a rich man, at least not rich enough to buy a villa.
The corner of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a little sarcasm and sneer. "Yes, for some poor
people, they deliberately use the reason of buying a house to take photos here to pretend to be
something as they share photos of here in their moments. After all, Dragon Bay is the most luxurious
and high-end residential area in H City, and living here is a status symbol. If any poor people can come
in and visit, it will also affect the normal life of the owners here and make the Dragon Bay become
lower in its level, right?"
In fact, the agency said both the truth and the lie. Dragon Bay was the most high-end villa area, there
was indeed such a rule, but the deposit amount was much less than 200,000. 50,000 dollars was
enough.
The intermediary agent said this just because he didn't like Tom and wanted Tom to back off.
However, he did not expect Tom to say without hesitation, "Okay, where can I use my bank card?"
When the intermediary agent heard Tom say this, he was obviously stunned. His eyes widened and he
said, "Are you sure? You want to pay two hundred thousand at a time? You shall know that the Dragon
Bay doesn't support credit cards!"
How could Tom not know that the intermediary agent was deliberately making him "shrink back from
difficulties"? He was too lazy to explain this kind of thing and he said impatiently, "Who said I will use a
credit card? Take me to swipe my card. I'm in a hurry to buy a house these two days. I don't have time
to delay."
The intermediary agent was retorted by Tom, and his expression was a little unpleasant, and he felt
uncomfortable in his heart. He secretly cursed and then took Tom to the real estate agent to swipe the
bank card.
Although he didn't believe that Tom was really capable of buying a villa, as a real estate intermediary
agent, if his attitude was too bad and he was complained by customers, his career would be affected.
After a while, the agent brought Tom over to swipe the card. Before Tom could speak, intermediary
agent glanced at the front desk of the real estate enterprise and said, "Arrange for this guest to pay a
deposit of 200,000 dollars. He wants to see the 8th villa area of Dragon Bay."
The receptionist was very observant. She nodded, took out the POS machine, and swiped Tom's card.
However, just as Tom was about to swipe his card, a series of footsteps came from behind. The sound
was accompanied by a familiar voice, "Honey, I really didn't expect to come to Dragon Bay to buy a
house. It's great! It's my dream to live here. Thank you for helping me realize it!"
Then, there was another voice. "Yes, Glory. It's really her blessing that Grace knows you."
Grace?
Hearing these two words, Tom was stunned. Wasn't Grace Phoebe's cousin?
He looked back curiously. Sure enough, he saw a group of people of the Scotts coming in.
At the same time, they also saw Tom...
