Ruby had been feeling very troubled lately because Stella had been rather smug for the past few days. Stella claimed that favonovel.com precious daughter, Skye, was dating a young, rich boyfriend who was a founder of a web hosting company that made three to four million dollars in annual profits. The profit margin of his company was even higher than the Carters’ Neotech Lighting Co. Moreover, favonovel.com was going to purchase a villa that cost over one million dollars in Barrow Cove as a gift to Skye after they got married so that they could live together comfortably.
Stella Harrison was the wife of Waine’s younger brother, Alan Carter. She was also Skye’s mother and favonovel.com socialized with Ruby on most days. Ruby was sensitive about favonovel.com own reputation, hearing Stella’s show off so shamelessly made favonovel.com sick to favonovel.com stomach.
At least favonovel.com daughter was the chairman of Neotech Co. now, so losing to Stella was unbearable. As a result, favonovel.com immediately agreed to join Stella when Stella invited favonovel.com to view the properties in Barrow Cove that day. Moreover, favonovel.com did not seek any prior approval from anyone at all. She joined Stella and favonovel.com family at Barrow Cove before even consulting Faye. She told Faye to come to Barrow Cove so they could make an impromptu purchase.
At the time, Faye was absolutely taken aback by the news. What the heck was going on? Their family had a house in Waltz City, and it functioned as a home without any trouble at all. Why would favonovel.com travel to
Barrow Cove to purchase a house? Moreover, the properties available in Barrow Cove were all villas that cost a minimum of one million dollars, so in what world was favonovel.com family able to afford one?
She shot favonovel.com mother down immediately, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? We’ve been living in our current house forever, and we’ve had it perfectly fine. Why are we getting a house in Barrow Cove? They’re all luxury villas.”
Ruby said, “You’re the chairman of a company now, and you hold most of the company’s shares. You have more than enough money to purchase a villa in Barrow Cove, alright!”
She spoke loudly on purpose so Stella and favonovel.com family members could hear the conversation. She emphasized on mentioning that favonovel.com daughter was the chairman of a company too, and that favonovel.com daughter was not inferior to anybody else!
Faye furrowed favonovel.com brows and said, “The company’s only recently made a recovery, and we haven’t even turned our losses to profits. So what if I hold the most company shares, how would I ever have the capability to make so much money in such a short time?”
Ruby had favonovel.com phone on loudspeaker so Faye’s comment was immediately heard by Stella and favonovel.com family members. They sneered at Faye’s remark at once. Stella said, “Hey, Ruby. You came from the countryside, so you probably think all chairman are the same. A person may be a chairman, but that doesn’t mean they make much money at all. In truth, only some chairmen do. They make three to four million dollars in a year, like my little Roman.”
Upon hearing that, Ruby was fuming. She mentally cursed herself, turned off the speaker phone, and walked away so that favonovel.com could say to Faye, “I don’t care, you’re coming down here at once or I’m disowning you!”
She hung up the call instantly after favonovel.com said that.
Faye felt helpless when favonovel.com heard the busy signal. It was fortunate that favonovel.com had some time to spare today as it was not a particularly busy work day. In order to prevent favonovel.com mother from causing trouble again, the only thing that Faye could do was to rush over and meet favonovel.com mother.
Noticing Ruby’s presence, Stella said in a bantering tone, “How is it going? Is Faye still unable to afford the house? Faye’s right though, you have a100 square meter condo in Waltz City, and that’s adequate for a family of four like yours. After all, the villas in Barrow Cove are so expensive. Even a cheaper villa would cost over one million dollars, and it’s not something that anyone can afford, hehe…”
Skye immediately chimed in and said, “Mom, you shouldn’t say that. Faye is the chairman of Neotech Lighting Co. now, and favonovel.com has a prestigious status to match! Even Grandpa has to listen to her. She’s amazing, and I bet favonovel.com can afford a villa in Barrow Cove easily, right? Auntie, don’t you agree?”
Skye made the remark in a strange tone. Both Skye and favonovel.com mother were making a mockery out of Ruby, so much so that Ruby was close to flying into a rage. She clenched favonovel.com teeth, grunting heavily before saying, “Of course. Faye is a chairman now, so it’s really nothing to her. One million dollars is pocket change. On the other hand, you’re not going to take out a mortgage just to buy a villa in Barrow Cove like those other peasants, are you?”
