When the green Hummer left the dirty street and stopped again, it had arrived at Billion Rich Villa, one of the most expensive villa areas in Lymelathe City. The name was vulgar to the extreme, but it had an elegance to it. It told the world directly that the houses here were extremely expensive and the people who lived here were either rich or noble. When she saw Claude turning around and planning to drive into Billion Rich Villa's famous residence, Jini finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked in surprise, "Humphrey, are we in the wrong place?" Humphrey didn't know either, so he asked, "Is it here?" Cora turned around and reported, "My Lord, I bought a house here for you. I took a look before and found that this is the villa area with the best environment in Lymelathe City." Humphrey nodded slightly, "Well, sorry for the trouble." Jini whispered, "This Billion Rich villa was developed by the Mallory family who spent all their assets. If I remember correctly, the houses here are very expensive, costing more than 8000 dollars per square meter." Cora said, "That's right, 8300 dollars. A house is more than 580 square meters. Including deed taxes and miscellaneous expenses, the total cost is more than 5 million dollars." Jini secretly clicked her tongue. Five million was not worth mentioning when the Herbery family was once glorious, but for her now, it was a huge amount of money that was out of reach. She glanced at Humphrey, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Humphrey, I heard from your brother that you went north to join the army as a soldier. To train yourself, you didn't take any extra money with you except the transport fare. Being a soldier doesn't make any money, right?” The implication was that She couldn't understand where Humphrey got so much money to buy such an expensive house. Although judging from the names and attitudes of Claude and Cora, Humphrey's position in the army was not low, but he didn't earn tens of millions, right? Humphrey understood the implication of Jini's words and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, the money to buy the house is not mine. Cora bought it for me at her own discretion. Speaking of which, it cost her money." Cora smiled shyly and said, "It's my honor to serve you, my Lord. It's just some extraneous money, it's not worth mentioning." Jini secretly smacked her tongue, this Cora had a refined appearance, extraordinary skills, and was actually wealthy. Through a brief contact, she clearly realized that Cora was by no means an ordinary person. However, even an outstanding woman like Cora was submissive to Humphrey and obeyed his orders. So how could Humphrey, her brother-in-law, be so extraordinary? Although she had heard Dempsey praise her brother with a different last name countless times before when Humphrey left Lymelathe City and went north seven years ago, she and Dempsey had not yet confirmed their relationship, so they did not know each other well. But now it seemed that even when Dempsey was alive, his understanding of Humphrey was still at the level seven years ago. What exactly happened in the past seven years to turn the handsome young man into the formidable and unpredictable person he was now? Jini was secretly curious, and Selena in her arms was also quietly looking at Humphrey at this time. In fact, during the time in the car, Selena had secretly looked at Humphrey more than once. Naturally, Humphrey had already noticed that the little girl was sizing him up. Just because Selena said she hated him in the yard before, Humphrey really didn't know how to continue communicating with Selena, so he always pretended not to notice. The Hummer passed through the gate, turned a few corners in an area full of green plants, and was full of elegance. After passing a dozen single-family villas, it finally stopped. When the Billion Rich villa area was developed and constructed, it seemed that the need to maintain privacy and have appropriate neighbors was taken into consideration, so every two villas were built as one unit. There was a ten-meter-wide public area between the two villas, which not only allowed the two families to occasionally see each other without having a separate residence but also ensured independence and privacy without being disturbed. The two villas in front of them looked exactly the same from the outside. The one on the left was brightly lit, and there were all kinds of precious potted green plants in the yard. It looked like it had been occupied for a long time. The building on the right looks a lot more deserted. It was dark inside, but the yard was quite clean, and the flower beds and lawns were well-kept by the property management. Humphrey and others got out of the car, Cora led the way, Claude carried Jini's luggage behind, and the group of five people walked towards the villa on the right. At this time, in the public area between the two villas, two young and beautiful beauties were walking side by side. When the two women saw Humphrey and the others, one of them was slightly surprised and said, "The villa next to it has been sold." This woman had shawl black hair, which was smooth and straight. She had an oval face, defined eyebrows, and shaped eyes. She was wearing a white dress and a pair of sandals. She looked like every man next door's little sister's fantasy. Felicia Kersey was surprised that there were new neighbors from now on. She glanced at Humphrey and others, and when she was about to see who the new neighbors were, he was suddenly completely attracted by Humphrey alone. That man was tall and straight, with a handsome face. He was simply the most perfect man the Creator could create. Looking from a distance, that masculine aura was like a heavy hammer, hitting Felicia's heart hard. She instantly fell into despair and became fascinated. "He's so handsome! Odin, did you see, that man is so handsome!" Felicia couldn't help but admire, and touched her companion with his slender elbow. Odin Xavier, who was next to Felicia, was wearing a long blue dress, and her appearance was not worse than Felicia's. When she saw Humphrey, she opened her mouth in shock and muttered, "Why is he here?" Felicia turned her head and asked, "Why, do you know him? That's great. Can you introduce him to me?" Odin snorted, recalling the scene where she was treated coldly by the other party when she chatted with him on the cruise ship a few days ago. She became angry and pouted, "He's very stuck up, he's so annoying. It's like comparing 250,000 to 80,000. I don't know him.” Felicia couldn't help but be startled when she saw Odin's displeased expression. When she turned back, she saw Humphrey and his party had already walked into the villa. "Hey, Odin, what's going on? I've never seen you look like this in front of a man. Have you ever been embarrassed in front of him?" Felicia's eyes lit up. She had completely fallen for Humphrey. Now that she realized that her childhood best friend seemed to have a story with the other party, she immediately became excited. Odin gave her a roll of her eyes and said angrily, "Well, Felicia, you are an inhumane person when encountering the opposite sex. I have come all the way here, but I have never seen you so radiant!" Felicia pursed her lips and smiled, "This is different!" Odin rolled her eyes, raised her chin, and said, "Well, when old Mr. Xavier can invite the miracle doctor to treat my grandfather, I will tell you who that man is, including everything I know about him. How about that?" " Felicia thought about it for a moment, then nodded cheerfully and said, "No problem, it's settled! I'm going to do my homework for my grandpa and ask him to quickly invite the miracle doctor no matter what!"
