"Okay."
Tom agreed without thinking.
Glory was stunned by his agreeing so fast, but then he sneered, thinking that Tom was just playing
tricks on him.
"Then there is no need to keep talking. Just pay." Glory also took out his bank card and was about to
start paying for the 15 million dollars villa.
Tom smiled and said to Phoebe, "Which one do you like? Let's buy it directly."
Phoebe immediately pulled Tom aside and whispered, "Tom, what the hell are you doing? We have no
intention of buying a villa in Dragon Bay!"
The smile on Tom's face didn't change a bit. "Then you can't let Grace and her mother look down on
you for nothing, can you? You're also a chairman now. It's not good for your image if words spread out,
is it?"
Phoebe bit her lips. "But I don't have the money."
"It's okay, I have." Tom smiled brightly. His smile made Phoebe feel a little special.
"Tom!" Phoebe raised her voice. "We're divorced. Why are you helping me like this?"
She stared at Tom intently, trying to get some answers from Tom's expression, but she was
disappointed. Tom was very calm, still smiling, and nothing was unusual.
"We can still be friends after divorce."
"I don't have that much money to pay you back!"
Tom didn't answer back, but said directly to Elizabeth and James, "Dad, mom, which villa do you like?
I'll buy it now."
Now that Tom behaved so naturally without a hint of guilty look, Elizabeth and James began to hesitate.
A voice appeared in their minds. Could Tom really have money to buy it?
For a moment, there was some light shedding on the darkness of their despair.
Elizabeth said, "We'll leave it to you to decide."
James also said, "Right, it's your call."
After all, now that Tom had divorced Phoebe and had nothing to do with them, it was not reansonable
for them to ask Tom to buy them such an expensive villa directly.
Seeing that they were still nagging, obviously stalling, so Grace said impatiently, "Hey, do you want to
buy it or not? Don't waste time here."
Tom walked over again and said, "Of course we do. Why don't we? But these villas are not what we
like."
Grace was suddenly amused and showed a disdainful expression. "Hehe, I knew you would say that.
But it's quite normal. A villa worth more than ten million dollars is beyond your means even if you work
for the rest of your life."
The people around them looked at Tom with disdain. For people in H City, 99 % of them could not
afford to buy a luxurious villa in Dragon Bay. This was not a very embarrassing thing, but the problem
was that Tom was a person who could not afford to buy it and still not kept his mouth shut, which was
disgraceful.
Especially compared to a successful person like Glory, he was even more belittled.
In fact, it wasn't just them, even Elizabeth and James thought so, so they unconsciously distanced
themselves from Tom.
Tom just smiled and ignored them. Instead, he said directly to the real estate salesman, "Where is your
most expensive villa district?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard him say this, including the real estate salesman. After a while,
the other party said, "It's the ninth project. The average price over there is more than 30 million dollars."
"Well, just take me there." Tom said with a smile. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Everyone thought he was crazy. He couldn't take out more than ten million dollars but wanted to see
the most high-end?
Grace and Kenia looked at each other and laughed. They thought that Tom was just trying to make a
fool of himself, so they were not nervous at all. Instead, they were happier. They would just have to wait
to see how Tom and Phoebe and her parents made a fool of themselves later.
Moreover, if this got back to the rest of the Scotts, it would be even more funny, enough to make
Phoebe and her parents be disgraceful in the Scotts!
Thinking of this, they were even happier and more excited.
Tom was planning to buy the best villa in Dragon Bay anyway, but now he just got more attention and it
didn't affect him at all.
Instead, Grace and the others' appearance made Tom feel quite interesting. He was a little looking
forward to their wonderful expressions.
After four years as a live-in son-in-law in the Scotts, Tom had always lived a "Loser" life and was
ridiculed by Grace and her family. Now that he had changed his luck, he had the opportunity to teach
Grace and her family a good lesson. Of course, he would not let go of this opportunity. Moreover, this
was also a chance to raise his position in front of Elizabeth and James.
As a result, many people followed the real estate salesman to the ninth project.
It had to be said that as the most high-end villa area in Dragon Bay, the ninth project was really the
most luxurious, and it was not the same concept as the sixth project that Grace and others just saw.
After Grace and Kenia took a look, they immediately became uninterested in the sixth project. Grace
secretly tugged at Glory's clothes and asked if he could buy one in the ninth project. On the spot, Glory
glared at her fiercely.
She must be joking. The minimum price of villas in the ninth project was 30 million. Even if he sold
everything he had, he still couldn't take out so much money. Even if he took out the mortgage, he would
still be hard to pay it back.
"How's it going? You've seen so many. Haven't you found any one you like?" Grace said in a strange
tone.
The real estate salesman also said, "Mr. Howard, which one do you like?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Tom, and they were waiting for his answer.
Tom smiled and pointed to the most luxurious villa in front of him, "This one then."
The real estate salesman said, "Mr. Howard, are you sure you want to buy this one?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"This is the most expensive villa in Dragon Bay. It covers an area of thousands of square meters and
has a complete set of facilities. The villa is also the highest level of decoration. The total price is 38.99
million dollars." The real estate salesman explained. He looked at Tom with disbelief.
There was no way he could believe it. Tom was wearing too ordinary clothes now. People would rather
believe he was a delivery man. How could he afford a house close to 40 million dollars?
As expected, so many people around them took a deep breath when they heard this number. They
were shocked for this much money could even buy a large company!
Grace and Kenia were also very shocked and looked at the big villa with incomparable envy, but they
did not dare to have any thoughts. Such an expensive villa was not something that a person of their
level could afford. They were very self-aware about this.
Tom smiled again. Instead of answering the real estate salesman, he smiled at Phoebe and asked,
"Phoebe, are you satisfied with this villa? If you are satisfied, let's buy it."
Phoebe did not answer. Her heart was beating faster for no reason.
"Stop messing around!" Phoebe said angrily in a low voice.
Tom just smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned around and said to the salesperson,
"That's the one. I'll pay now. Get the paperwork done for me."
Grace and Kenia were both disdainful. They didn't believe that Tom could afford a 40 million villa!
Suddenly, Tom thought of something and said to Grace, "By the way, Grace, you seemed to say that
you want to buy a villa next to ours? Now I've decided to buy a large villa in the ninth project. Do you
want to buy one too? A villa in the sixth project is still too small."
Grace asked Glory with her eyes. After getting Glory's permission, she said loudly, "Okay, we'll do it.
But you pay first. If you have the ability to pay in full, we will pay immediately!"
How could Tom not know what Grace was up to? He smiled faintly and said, "No problem, but you'd
better prepare the money in advance. In case you have no money to pay for it after I make the
payment."
These words angered Grace and Glory. Glory stepped forward and sneered, "Don't worry about that. If
you can pay, I promise to buy it immediately! As for you, be careful not to make a fool of yourself when
you couldn't bring out that much money!"
Tom did not refute. He spoke with his actions. Very soon, he went to pay the bill. The real estate
company was quick in their work. It was only about ten minutes, and all the procedures were ready. As
long as Tom could successfully pay, he could transfer the property ownership to him directly and Tom
could check in tonight.
For a moment, everyone was watching Tom to see if he could really pay.
Tom took out his bank card, swiped it at the POS machine, and then pressed the password. After a
while, he heard the machine announce, "Successfully pay 38.99 million dollars in full."
Immediately, the whole room was quiet, and everyone's expression became exciting.
