Chapter 85: Almost caused a catastrophe
Ellie was also a little embarrassed, and Jonathan was even more at a loss for words.
Victoria stopped paying attention to her, “Uncle, Auntie, I’ll go then.”
Ellie and Jonathan were about to head out the door to drop her off, personally dropping her off at the intersection.
Victoria thought about it, but couldn’t resist asking, “Uncle, isn’t there a big boss who wants to start a tourism development here? If the demolition really comes to you then, what are you going to do with the money?”
Housing prices in small counties were cheap, and a person could buy a very spacious four-bedroom apartment for a million or so.
A flash of excitement colored Jonathan’s face at the mention.
“Your cousin had over a hundred thousand dollars left on the loan sharks, so I’m going to pay them off and get a better house… Tori, you’re asking this out of the blue… did you get some news?”
Jonathan didn’t forget that Victoria and the boss were in the same car.
“Well, I’m just not quite sure yet, Uncle, so plan it out before you decide, you’re getting older too, don’t give Alexia’s hand to everything.”
Jonathan coughed lightly, “Alexia… is actually not bad, just a little lazy. You just should ignore her.”
Victoria knew there was no point in saying anything and said goodbye and drove off.
Jonathan’s hands clenched in excitement, his cheeks red with excitement.
“Tori asked me that, so our district is definitely going to be torn down, so let’s borrow some more money and buy the houses next door, and if they’re torn down, the money will multiply several times over.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Ellie’s face showed some hesitation. Around the area some older people were living, either their children were working outside, or a few family members were living in this bungalow. If they were to go and buy someone else’s house, then after the people know they first got the news to do so, then won’t the people hold a grudge?
“Let’s go back and discuss with Alexia. Tori rode in the car with the boss yesterday, the boss must have told her something. This is a chance to get rich. Let’s sell the car first, then sell a piece of land, and borrow some from relatives. This is a few hundred thousand dollars, enough to buy two sets, when we sell it, it’s a few million! ”
Ellie had been a little hesitant, and was heartened by his comment.
Victoria didn’t realize that her inadvertent disclosure nearly caused a major disaster.
She was just about to pull away when she suddenly realized she had left her purse at Papa Bree and had to go around.
But because the county was so crowded and there was little planning for the time being, the traveling speed was almost as fast as a turtle crawling, causing her to lose her patience.
What was supposed to be less than half an hour’s journey took an hour to drive slowly to Papa Bree.
There were several people gathered around the door, two of whom were the officials yesterday, and Nick was standing at the gate, not looking too good.
Victoria hurriedly parked her car on the side and was just about to get out when she saw Alexia driving her uncle’s car over and parked it directly a meter in front of Nick.
“Mr. Andrews, aren’t you going to be here all day today? Since your car is broken down, why don’t you take mine and I’ll give you a ride.”
Alexia had purposely put on makeup, and this car was parked around Papa Bree yesterday, so she came over much faster than Victoria.
Victoria had just gotten out of the car when she heard this, and it looked like Alexia hadn’t given up yet.
Alexia and her cousin were not divorced and she has the audacity to hook up with outside men while still being married!
She approached quickly, only to find that Nick’s car had not only had its windows smashed, but even its tires had been poked out.
The two officials were beside each other, anxious and clueless, with an expression that they didn’t know what to do.
It was not easy for a big boss to come to invest, but the result was that the car worth ten million dollars was actually smashed in the place where they stayed, perhaps in a fit of anger, he would directly change his mind.
Nick’s face was expressionless, his eyes so cool and indifferent that anyone familiar with them knew he was displeased.
But Alexia, who was standing not far from him, was very enthusiastic and pushed aside the people in her way to go up.
“Mr. Andrews, take my car, it’s not as expensive as yours. But at least it’s a BMW, and BMWs are still rare in the county, and I made a point of getting it serviced last night, it cost three thousand.”
The comment made the people around them crow and nearly laugh, if it weren’t for the fact that the situation at hand was so wrong.
But Alexia apparently didn’t realize how humiliated she was.
Victoria just couldn’t look at her anymore and stepped forward to tug on her hand.
“Alexia, that’s enough for you!”
Alexia saw her and there was a twinge of weakness in her eyes, hadn’t she left? But then she thought about how Victoria couldn’t control herself, and got her nerve back.
“What’s it to you, aren’t you all set to leave? Fuck off.”
Although Victoria didn’t turn around, she could still feel an icy gaze falling on her, watching her silently.
For no reason, Victoria suddenly felt ashamed.
