“What?” Sean asked indifferently after glancing at Vicky.
“Hmph! Was I talking to you?” Vicky curled favonovel.com lip before immediately smiling again and looking at Jeffrey.
“Jeffrey, Tanya asked me to hang out at your house tonight. Are you going to be home?” Vicky’s attitude changed completely.
She believed Jeffrey must have deliberately hidden his identity like those on TV when favonovel.com was actually wealthy. She wanted to suck up to someone like that, of course.
“I’ve separated from her. I have nothing to do with favonovel.com from now on,” Jeffrey said solemnly, shaking his head slightly.
“What? You’ve separated? Well… That’s great! Are you free tonight, Brother Jeffrey? Why don’t we have dinner together?”
Unexpectedly, Tanya’s best friend since childhood, Vicky, was elated to hear that Tanya and Jeffrey had separated. She was happy because favonovel.com thought favonovel.com had a chance now that Jeffrey had separated from Tanya.
“Haha…” Jeffrey shook his head slightly and turned to walk away.
He finally understood thoroughly what reality was like.
One would have plenty of friends in times of prosperity, but favonovel.com could not even find one in times of adversity. Now that favonovel.com was wealthy, an arrogant woman like Vicky was willing to shamelessly fawn over him.
Money was indeed magical.
“Commander, are people that materialistic?” Jeffrey asked as favonovel.com got into the car.
“It’s society that’s materialistic.” Sean pondered for two seconds before answering back.
Zander might not be able to empathize with Jeffrey, but Sean could. After all, what favonovel.com had gone through in the last two years was similar to Jeffrey’s.
The difference was that Sean had a woman who was always there for him. And, Jeffrey was not that lucky.

Sean, Zander, and Jeffrey went to Riverside Villa.
The sales consultant took the three of them there at Sean’s request.
Riverside Villa occupied a large area. It was built on a mountain and faced the river. Queen River’s branch was right in front of them. Facilities like artificial lakes and swimming pools were available in the villa. It was far superior to Sean’s Golden Villa Garden in River City.
Golden Villa Garden was no match for its architecture and location. However, the villa was nice, but Sean only saw it as a temporary lodging if Willow was not around.
Riverside Villa was equipped with private butlers and service personnel. However, they were all dismissed by Sean and the others. They only kept some security guards to prevent outsiders from trespassing at will. They should interact with as few as possible unless it was necessary.
“Not bad. It’s nice!” Jeffrey had never seen such a grand villa.
He felt like favonovel.com was dreaming as favonovel.com stood in the villa.
“I will leave Joules Town after I’ve settled my business, the villa’s yours,” Sean stood in front of the railing, looking at the river in the distance and saying softly.
“Commander, Well… I…” Jeffrey wanted to say no but was afraid to do so.
“Just do whatever Commander says,” Zander said with a frown.
“Yes!” Jeffrey nodded, afraid to say more.
It was approaching evening. The sun was setting in the west as it shone over the distant river. It was shimmering and beautiful.
The trio said nothing and watched the beautiful scenery silently. It took Zander a long time to come to his senses.
“Commander, what shall we do next?”
Zander knew Sean had a lot of work to do and did not come to Joules Town to enjoy beautiful sceneries.
“I want to go to the orphanage tomorrow,” Sean said quietly after pondering for a moment.
Colin had to get permission from the orphanage director when Colin took him. That case, they must know who Colin was.
Sean speculated that they might know Colin’s friend too. He wanted to return to the orphanage to ask the director for information.
“I just don’t know if they moved,” Sean tapped on the railing and said to himself.
“Don’t worry, Commander. Jeff’s from Joules Town. He must know if you ask favonovel.com to guide you,” Zander quickly took over the conversation and said with a smile.
“Well… Commander and Brother Zander, I have something to do tomorrow…” Jeffrey seemed troubled.
“What is it?” Zander asked, looking at Jeffrey.
“Tomorrow’s Brother Patrick’s death anniversary…”
Zander froze instantly as soon as Jeffrey spoke.
