“Bob? You know Bob?” Derek’s expression changed drastically. His face was filled with both anger and embarrassment.
“Derek, who is Bob?” Tyree asked and realized that something was wrong with his son-in-law.
“Bob, he is…” Derek was annoyed and embarrassed. He didn’t know what to say.
It was impossible for him to say that Bob was the general manager of the Sea Company, right? That would be a slap on the face.
Originally, he wanted to brag about his ability, but he didn’t expect that a loser like Alberto would accidentally find out that the general manager of Sea Real Estate Company was Bob.
But on a second thought, so what if Alberto knew that?
Even if he didn’t exaggerate, he would still be a hundred times more powerful than a bumpkin like Alberto!
“Bob is my supervisor, the person in charge and the manager of the Ocean Real Estate Corporation,” Derek said.
Lillian smiled and understood what was going on. “Oh? So, when you said you were the general manager of Sea Real Estate Company, you were lying?” she said.
“I wasn’t! I’m the general manager of Sea Real Estate Company!” Derek said stubbornly, feeling very embarrassed and indignant. He explained, “I am the general manager of the Goldwich District Branch of Sea Real Estate Company.”
In fact, he was the manager of a branch of Sea Real Estate Company.
However, in order to dignify his parents-in-law, he exaggerated it to intimidate Dayanara the bumpkin.
“Yeah! Derek was right. He is the general manager of a branch company, what’s wrong?” Tyree said, “Alberto, you want to mock Derek just because somehow, you know the name of the person in charge of the head office of the company?”
“Huh, capability is the best evidence,” Tyree ridiculed, “Can Derek’s financial condition be fake? Even if he is not the manager of the head office, is he not respectable as the manager of a branch of the largest real estate company in the Goldwich District?”
“I really don’t know what’s on your mind. You will pretend to be very knowledgeable as long as you get some information,” Tyree sneered.
Lillian stopped speaking and looked coldly at Alberto.
That’s right. Even if his son-in-law boasted a little too much, he had solid financial power. He was way too much stronger than Alberto!
“I’m a little curious. You sound like you’re familiar with our general manager?” Derek came to his senses and looked at Alberto with an arrogant attitude. He asked, “How do you know President Henson? You can’t just pick up a business card somewhere and pretend that you know him, right?”
“The young people nowadays always feel that once they know some big name, then they would become one, too,” Tyree also mocked, “But it’s simply overestimation!”
“I’m not familiar with Bob,” Alberto said calmly, “Bob helped me go through the procedures when I bought a house in the Fountain Neighborhood. Only then did I get to know him.”
“I think what you want to say is that you bought a house in Fountain Neighborhood,” Tyree smiled smugly, “I almost buy it. How can a loser like you afford it? Do you know how expensive a house in the Fountain Neighborhood is? Stop bluffing”
Derek also laughed, “You bumpkin, you don’t even know how to brag? Your words are full of flaws!”
“President Henson is the person in charge of our company. Do you know who he is? Normally, even if a man with hundreds of millions of wealth goes to the head office, President Henson will only send secretaries to receive him,” Derek said with a disdainful expression, “President Henson personally went through the procedures for you? Who do you think you are?”
“Alberto! Will you die if you shut your mouth and stop boasting?” Lillian shouted angrily and felt her face turn blushed and hot.
Alberto’s bragging was full of flaws. Other people would know that he was boasting the moment he talked. How stupid was he?
“Forget it, forget it. Lillian, don’t blame your son-in-law. I can understand that young people are always competitive,” Tyree said in a sarcastic tone, “But it’s not how you should do it. You have to know your identity, don’t you? Just bragging about it will make everyone laugh at you.”
“Don’t.” Derek smiled proudly. “Perhaps he really bought a house in the Fountain Neighborhood, and President Henson indeed personally received him.”
“By the way, we are almost done eating,” Derek said with a wry expression, “Let’s go to the Fountain Neighborhood together. Broaden my horizon, Alberto, by showing me what house you bought as well as its quality.”
Tyree also laughed and said, “Derek’s suggestion is not bad. Oh, right, Cedric, Lillian, go visit my new house to widen your horizons.”
Lillian and Cedric’s faces turned ashen as they looked at Alberto with complaint.
How could they deal with it decently?
“Forget it, parents-in-law, it’s too troublesome. We won’t go.” Dayanara mediated. She didn’t look good, either.
“No, you have to,” Tyree didn’t let go and said mockingly, “Since we’ve talked about this matter to such extent, if you don’t go visit my new house, it will be a humiliation to me. Besides, what if Alberto really bought a house himself? In the future, we will become neighbors again, won’t we?”
“Then let’s go take a look,” Alberto said calmly.
“That’s more like it,” Tyree laughed and stood up to go downstairs.
Derek and Sierra also got up and went downstairs to drive the car.
“You kept man, you had no idea of who you are yet you showed off in front of me?” Derek said coldly as he walked past Alberto.
Alberto didn’t say anything and also got up and walked downstairs.
“Dayanara, why did you bring Alberto here? How can we deal with this?” Lillian said with an extremely angry face and walked out of the Deity Restaurant with Cedric, who was also wearing a long face.
Dayanara walked to Alberto’s side and asked, “Alberto, did you really buy a house in Fountain Neighborhood?”
Alberto nodded.
Dayanara was puzzled, but she did not ask any further. The family got into the car.
…
Twenty minutes later.
In the Fountain Neighborhood, rows of high-rise buildings, exquisite community facilities, and small gardens and pools were eye-catching.
Alberto sat alone at the bottom of a tall building and lit a cigarette.
After finishing the cigarette, the Maynards and the Mullens walked out from the entrance.
Tyree said proudly, “Cedric, Lillian, do you have any opinion about my new house? It was bought for 1. 2 million, and it’s quite worth it. The dilapidated house in the River Neighborhood is now estimated to be worth 3, 000 per square meter and one house is worth 300, 000 at most, isn’t it?”
Lillian and her husband’s expressions were very ugly.
“This house is pretty good. Tyree, your son-in-law is promising.” Cedric made a wooden smile.
“It’s not the case. How could my son-in-law be a match of yours? Your son-in-law said that my house is the most inferior one,” Tyree sarcastically said, “Let’s go, Cedric, broaden my horizon and show me what house your son-in-law Alberto bought.”
“Save it, Tyree, there’s no need to mess with Alberto,” Cedric said with an embarrassing expression.
Derek sneered. He looked at Alberto and said, “Come on, bumpkin, where is the house you bought? Are you guilty? You don’t dare to take us there?”
