People who lived here were either rich or having high social status.
“Vincent, this… The houses here are too expensive.”
Alannah shook her head. She didn’t want Vincent to buy such an expensive house for her.
“The environment here is good and helps my uncle to recover from his leg injury.”
Vincent opened the door for Alannah. He took her arm and walked to the lobby. Alannah kept looking at Vincent. He treated her so well as if he had been her own son.
If possible, she sincerely hoped that Vincent could be together with Ana, but only if he didn’t dislike Ana.
On the way, she thought about Vincent and Ana. Apart from his temper, Vincent was almost a perfect man. He had money and he was handsome. If he needed women, there would be endless women who would love to be with him, so how could he be willing to be Ana forever?
Or was Vincent coming back this time to take Carrie away?
“Alannah, stay in the lounge for a while and I will talk to the manager about buying a two-story duplex.”
“Yes, yes.” Alannah nodded heavily.
After Vincent left, Alannah was sitting in the lounge and looking around. The people here were all dressed in gorgeous clothes worth of tens of thousands, while she was wearing some cheap clothes, which made her feel humble.
The staff took a confused look at Alannah when he walked by. Although he was polite to Alannah, she could clearly sense his dismissive attitude while the man tried to please the other guests.
Alannah carried the glass to the corner to avoid being noticed.
“Alannah…” But a sharp cry rang out in her ears.
Alannah looked back. She turned red when she saw the two ladies coming.
It turned out to be Alannah’s old enemies.
The two ladies and Alannah were the daughters-in-law of the Graham family. When Alannah was not evicted from the family, they often fought with Alannah as she had no son, and her parents-in-law were not fond of her.
How did they come here?
Willow, wearing a mink coat and a pair of luxurious high heels and a purse that was worth of more than three hundred thousand, looked gorgeous in contrast to Alannah.”Oh, Alannah, what are you doing here?”
“I… I come to buy a house.” Alannah didn’t have the pride she used to have as a mistress of the Graham family.
Alannah was born to a normal family, and her humbleness gave full display at the moment.
“Alannah, you’re just a street hawker. The lowest prices of the house here are of the tens of millions. How could you possibly afford that?” Leah sneered, wearing the same gorgeous clothes.
Street hawker…
The abusive words sounded loud and clear during the hall, and the customers all around looked at them.
But the people here were all from the upper class, so they didn’t show any displease, just sitting on their couches reading books or playing with their phones.
They didn’t pay too much attention to this matter.
“Why can’t she afford it?”
Willow nudged Leah and laughed.
“Anyway, Alannah has a big business in the Seedling Market, but I didn’t expect to her to make so much money by selling vegetables. How about we sell vegetables some day?”
