Chapter 222
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?"
Grace's tone sounded sarcastic. The two people's ridiculed drove Elizabeth crazy, who gritted her
teeth, snorted heavily, and said, "Of course, Phoebe is now the chairman of the board. It's easy to take
out more than ten million dollars. On the other hand, if you come to Dragon Bay to buy a villa, wouldn't
you get a mortgage like the poor?"
The issue really stumped Grace. Originally, they really planned to get a mortgage. After all, ten million
dollars was not a small amount. Even her boyfriend Glory could not easily take it out.
However, she couldn't say that. She had to maintain her dignity.
When Phoebe first became the chairman of SK Group, the entire the Scotts was inferior to her. During
that time, Elizabeth was even more arrogant. Now, Grace found a rich boyfriend who was willing to
spend money for her. Both Grace and her mother wanted to build a better image.
So she immediately signaled Glory. After getting Glory's permission, she said loudly and disdainfully,
"Hehe, a mortgage? That's what poor people do. Glory doesn't need that. Auntie, relax. When Phoebe
comes and she can't afford to buy a villa in Dragon Bay. You'll be a laughingstock."
Elizabeth snorted and said, "You don't have to worry about it. We can definitely afford to buy a villa in
Dragon Bay."
While Kenia and his family were walking in front of them, Elizabeth deliberately walked behind. She
pinched James and scolded, "You useless trash, you wouldn't have said a word for your wife just now, Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
allowing the Kenia family to mock me. Are you still a man?"
James was pinched so hard that he bared his teeth and said quickly, "I haven't blamed you yet. Why
were you comparing with Kenia? Phoebe is right. We have a house in H City. Why are we going to
Dragon Bay to buy a villa? There're only three people in our family, we don't need a big and expensive
house."
Elizabeth poked James's head hard and scolded, "You're so useless and have no ambition at all.
You've been bullied like this, but you can still tolerate it! Besides, now that Phoebe is the chairman of
SK Company, she can get tens of millions of dividends a year and buy a villa in Dragon Bay. That's
easy for her."
James said, "That's right, but SK Company has just started its development. Phoebe can't get the
money until the end of the year. It's still more than half a year away."
"I don't care. I must buy a villa in Dragon Bay today. I need to appear rich!" Elizabeth said.
Next, they followed Kenia's family to check the house. They roughly understood that the houses in
Dragon Bay were very expensive and luxurious. Those who could live here were all high-ranking
people.
Elizabeth and Kenia all became more and more fond of Dragon Bay after hearing the flattery of the
agency. They also made up their minds that they must buy a villa in Dragon Bay!
Not long after, Phoebe arrived. When Elizabeth saw her coming, she immediately smiled excitedly and
waved hard. "Phoebe, come here. Mom is waiting for you!"
Today, Phoebe wore a dress and looked striking. With her beautiful appearance, Glory could not move
his eyes off her. In contrast, Grace was obviously no match for Phoebe.
