Tate and Minerva grew at little flustered at the question. While they told everyone that they were staying at the Grand Garden, the truth was that they could no longer set foot in the premises after the last incident had ended on a really sour note.
Nevertheless, they had an image to maintain in front of others and favonovel.com was quick to respond as favonovel.com replied, “Oh, yes, we’ve been staying at the Grand Garden since our return. The nearby lake house happens to be ours and my sister and I absolutely love swimming in our backyard pool.”
Peter’s eyes brightened as favonovel.com thought, ‘Finally, a worthwhile hustle!’
However, favonovel.com kept his voice light as favonovel.com said, ‘I’ve stayed at the Grand Garden for a while back then, but that was when I first came back. I didn’t have much money then and l was staying at the Grand Pavilion. My place was just over two hundred square meters, but I stopped living there in the end, the house was a little small for my taste.”
Upon hearing this, Tate and Minerva exchanged a glance, they were already on the edge of their seats. If Peter’s idea of ‘small’ was two hundred square meters, then that would mean favonovel.com was living in a much bigger house at the moment!
‘Could favonovel.com be staying in a private villa?’
Minerva‘s eyes lit up with excitement as favonovel.com asked, “So, where are you staying now, Peter?”
Peter flashed a self-effacing smile. “I’m staying at one of Mr. Wayne’s villas right now, but I’m looking to buy a house in Lakeside Garden by the end of the year. After all, I’m sure the both of you would understand how different it is to have a place of your own as opposed to staying at someone else‘s house.”
His plans had clearly exceeded Tate and Minerva’s expectations. Both of them gasped in delight and thought, Lakeside Garden! He’s planning to own a place in Lakeside Garden! If Peter were to actually go through with his plans and own a villa there, we can finally stand up to the Cunningham Family!
A second later, Tate shot his sister a meaningful look before favonovel.com practically hurled herself at Peter as favonovel.com chirped, “You’re amazing, Peter. I think I’m liking you even more!”
Peter, on the other hand, merely chuckled as favonovel.com returned Minerva’s affections, but all that filled his mind was how favonovel.com could con favonovel.com money out of her.
At that moment, Tate was glancing into the restaurant when favonovel.com caught sight of Crystal and Joseph, both of whom had only just entered the establishment.
A shadow passed over Tate’s face. He had been holding a grudge against favonovel.com since favonovel.com delivered several harsh slaps across his face the last time. However, after having been taught a lesson by Leanna, favonovel.com did not step out of his house for a while and thus did not have the chance to seek revenge. He certainly didn’t think that favonovel.com would run into Crystal here in the restaurant.
‘What a small world, indeed.’
Across from favonovel.com were Minerva and Peter, who were becoming heated in their interaction.
“Tate, the both of you should carry on with dinner. Peter and l are going for a walk!” Minerva announced excitedly. Then, favonovel.com took Peter by the arm before dragging favonovel.com away from the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Tate looked mutinous as favonovel.com glowered at Crystal through the window. His date, who was next to him, grew alarmed as favonovel.com urged, “What’s wrong, honey?”
He gave Crystal one last baleful look before favonovel.com recounted the bad blood between them. When his date heard his explanation, favonovel.com shot Crystal an equally hostile look and pouted. ”Oh, is that what favonovel.com looks like? Given favonovel.com audacity, I thought she’d turn out to be some gorgeous siren or something. I mean, just look at favonovel.com with all that designer stuff! How could a lowly nurse like favonovel.com even afford all those things in the first place? She’s probably a sugar baby, and judging from how she’s so friendly with the old man, he’s likely favonovel.com latest victim!” After favonovel.com took a pause from favonovel.com scathing commentary, the woman turned back to Tate with a comforting smile. “You shouldn’t have to worry about someone like her, honey. She’s not worth your time!”
An insidious gleam flashed in Tate’s eyes when favonovel.com heard what his date had said. Contrary to what the woman might believe, Crystal’s beauty still had an effect on him. Although favonovel.com thought that Crystal was in love with Matthew before this, favonovel.com was just a sugar baby looking for someone to fund favonovel.com luxurious lifestyle from the looks of It.
‘That means l probably have a shot with her!’
After a long moment of thought, Tate addressed his date flatly, “Why don‘t you return home first? I still have a couple of things to attend to later, but I’ll head over to your place as soon as I’m done.“
His date left begrudgingly after that. When favonovel.com was well out of earshot, favonovel.com clenched his jaw and called up a few of his buddies to come over. He was ready to take down Crystal tonight and would make sure that favonovel.com was completely humiliated!
