Chapter 225
Immediately, everyone's eyes were on him.
Phoebe, who was striding away, heard this and her body suddenly trembled slightly. Tom's voice
seemed to hit her heart directly.
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw Tom strode over with a smile on her
face. He repeated, "Who said we can't afford it? It's just a house in Dragon Bay."
Just a house in Dragon Bay?
That was too much!
Not only Kenia and Grace, but also the onlookers around them had a bad impression of Tom when they
heard this. They felt that Tom was too arrogant.
They came to Dragon Bay to buy a villa in the form of a mortgage. They definitely didn't have such a
big tone and said such big words as "Just a house in Dragon Bay!" Moreover, in their opinion, Tom was
wearing a cheeky suit and two or three hundred dollars sneaker. He was just an ordinary salaried man.
Such a person could afford a villa in Dragon Bay, and they would not believe it even if someone put a
knife against their throats.
"Hahaha, what a big tone. Someone like you, dare not to take Dragon Bay seriously? According to
what you just said, you must be a billionaire." Glory immediately said loudly.
He was getting more and more annoyed by Tom now. Among his peers, he was an absolute success.
He looked down on trash like Tom from the bottom of his heart, let alone the history between Tom and
Phoebe.
His words were echoed by many people and they began to ridicule Tom.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Yes, just a loser. What are you bragging there?"
"You really don't know who you are. How dare you say something like that about Dragon Bay?!"
"I think this guy is a clown. He's a show-off. Look at him. He's a delivery boy at best."
"You have thought too highly of him. I think he is a worker at the construction site."
Many people began to laugh at Tom and became hostile to Tom.
That was quite natural, for Tom's words just now had offended them all.
If it were someone else, they would have panicked long ago, but it didn't matter to Tom.
He had already walked up to Phoebe and said with a smile, "Phoebe, you were naughty again just now.
Didn't we agree to buy a villa in Dragon Bay? The money is in place. Why can't we afford it? Weren't
you lying to your mother and Grace?"
Phoebe opened her mouth wide and looked at Tom in a daze. She was a little confused about what
Tom was doing. She immediately asked with her eyes, "Hey!" What the hell are you doing?
The smile on Tom's face remained the same, and he said to Elizabeth, "Mom, which villa do you like?
We can buy it."
Elizabeth was a little confused. She didn't understand what Tom was doing. She looked at Phoebe,
hoping to figure something out from Phoebe's look. But now Phoebe lowered her head and looked very
complicated. She was also very confused.
Now that Grace realized it, she burst out laughing again. Holding Glory's arm, she walked over. "Oh,
my brother-in-law is so awesome. He can afford to buy a house in Dragon Bay. How awesome!"
She said so, but her face was full of disdain. She clearly didn't believe that Tom had the ability to buy a
house. At most, she thought that Tom was bluffing.
It was understandable for Tom had been a wimp since he joined the Scotts four years ago. He had
never done anything worth mentioning. He didn't know how much disgrace he had brought to the
Scotts. Especially Phoebe, his wife, because Tom, the useless husband, had always had a bad
reputation in H City.
Now that she would on no account believe that Tom could take so much money out to buy a villa in
Dragon Bay. Even if he bought it on mortgage, he would have to take out millions at a time!
Kenia immediately joined in and began to despise and disdain Tom in a strange tone.
Elizabeth swallowed and asked Tom, "Do you really have money to buy a villa in Dragon Bay?"
Tom nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, when did I lie?"
Elizabeth thought about it carefully, and it seemed he was telling the truth. Although Tom had been
useless for so many years, he was still trustworthy. Tom really didn't seem to have lied to anyone.
But even so, she still felt uncertain. After all, it was really difficult for them to buy a villa worth more than
ten million dollars.
She thought to herself that since Tom had made the statement, she had already been embarrassed
and it could not possibly get worse. At worst, she could let Tom take the blame in the end.
She understood and said, "Okay, if you can afford to buy one, mom will thank you later!"
Tom smiled and said to Phoebe, "Phoebe, you and mom can choose which villa in Dragon Bay you
like?"
Phoebe bit her lips and didn't say anything. In fact, she was a little convinced that Tom could afford to
buy a house in Dragon Bay, but they were divorced now. Even if he could afford it, it seemed that it had
nothing to do with them...
So for a moment, she lowered her head and did not answer.
How observant was Tom? He naturally saw through Phoebe's complicated mood at the moment. To be
honest, he was actually a little happy in his heart. After all these years of marriage, Phoebe had always
looked down on him, and now he finally had a chance to hold his head high in front of Phoebe!
Moreover, he felt that there was a hint of regret in Phoebe's expression now...
However, Grace and Kenia couldn't stand it any longer. They deliberately tricked Elizabeth and James
to come to Dragon Bay to look at the house today, mainly to humiliate them and avenged their
humiliation before. Now that Tom appeared and messed up their plan, how could they put up with that?
At this moment, Kenia said, "Well, since you can afford a villa, then don't talk nonsense. Pay directly!"
Grace also said, "Yes, come and pay. It's useless just talking."
Then she winked at Glory. Glory nodded and said directly to the real estate agent, "The villa that we
chose just now, arrange it for me. I'll pay now and you must deliver the house to me as soon as
possible."
The agent of Glory was so excited that his face turned red when he heard this. He nodded quickly and
said loudly, "Okay, okay, okay! Elliot, I'm going to arrange it now! Elliot, you're so generous. It's the first
time I've seen such a forthright guest in all my years as a real estate agent!"
Then Glory came over and said to Tom, "Let's pay together."
He raised his eyebrows, his expression full of provocation.
