Seeing the driver losing his temper, and knowing he was the driver for Cloud Dream Mountain villas, a few people who had been about to engage in a heated exchange quickly shut their mouths, demonstrating a proper sense of humility.
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Bruno couldn’t help but raise his voice, “Sir, we’re from the Henley family. Are you supposed to pick up the Henleys?”
The driver hesitated for a moment, mumbled a few words under his breath, then shifted gears, pressed the gas pedal, and continued driving.
This left the Henley family members confused. If the driver had indeed picked up the wrong people, he should either let them disembark or turn back. So why were they still heading toward the Cloud Dream Mountain villa area?
Half an hour later, the two luxury buses met at the entrance of the Cloud Dream Mountain villa area, then entered the area together.
Outside Villa No. 9, the two luxury buses came to a halt, and the driver signaled for everyone to disembark.
Passengers began to exit the vehicles, observing their surroundings. Their faces displayed either bewilderment or confusion, tinged with a hint of panic.
This was none other than the prestigious Cloud Dream Mountain villa area, which even the wealthiest families in Langstel could only admire from afar.
Many knew that not long ago, Villa No. 9 had been sold for an astronomical 200 hundred million. Langstel’s wealthy elite had been speculating about which tycoon had made such a purchase.
For both Jeffrey and the Henley family, entering the Cloud Dream Mountain villa area was an unimaginable event. They had aspired to live here, yet now they stood within the confines of Villa No. 9.
Fanny nervously observed everything, muttering to herself, “What’s going on? How did that bus driver bring us here?”
Bruno, standing beside Fanny, was also on edge. He knew more about the Cloud Dream Mountain villa area than the others.
Each villa in Cloud Dream Mountain came with absolute private territory, and outsiders were strictly forbidden from trespassing. The consequences for doing so were severe.
Yet now, members of the Henley family, along with some unfamiliar faces, found themselves within the boundaries of Villa No. 9.
Bruno quickly pieced things together and ground his teeth as he exclaimed, “I get it now. Sophia and her useless husband must be plotting against us!”
Upon hearing Bruno’s words, Sean also realized the situation and shouted angrily, “Sophia is playing with fire. Does she think she can stay out of this if something happens to us?”
Fanny, well-versed in the art of discretion, suggested, “Bruno, Uncle, let’s leave while we haven’t been noticed yet.”
Meanwhile, Jeffrey and his old classmates were equally shocked. Even the proud Michael had to keep a low profile here; among the residents of Cloud Dream Mountain, he was as inconspicuous as dust on the ground.
As Jeffrey and the others contemplated leaving, an Audi A8 arrived. Leo was the first to open the car door and step out.
Bruno quickly approached, his voice rising as he questioned Leo, “Leo, I can’t believe you’re this ruthless, luring us here to set us up!”
Fanny charged towards Sophia and shouted, “Sophia, if anything happens to us today, you won’t get away with it!”
Leo, facing Bruno’s anger, smirked and retorted, “Bruno, you seem pretty scared. Just hold it in and don’t wet your pants.”
Although Bruno harbored intense hatred for Leo, he knew better than to challenge him directly. He could only seethe and say, “Once the security personnel from Cloud Dream Mountain arrive, I’ll tell them the truth, Leo. Don’t think your little scheme will work.”
“Martin, what’s your family trying to do? Are you trying to get back at us?” Sean shouted loudly as he got out of the vehicle.
The other members of the Henley family couldn’t contain themselves any longer, letting out a barrage of harsh words, disregarding their image and family ties.
Martin didn’t dare to utter a word, while a seemingly oblivious Jessica was reveling in the exhilarating sensation of being within the Cloud Dream Mountain villa area.
Living in Cloud Dream Mountain had been the goal of the Henley family, and it was Jessica’s dream. Now, this dream was within her grasp.
So, despite the harsh words from the Henley family members, Jessica was immune, focusing solely on entering Villa No. 9.
Sophia scanned her relatives and shouted, “All of you, quiet down! This is my and Leo’s new home. We invited you here to take a look. There’s nothing to be afraid of!”
“New home? Sophia, are you out of your mind? Look closely; this is Cloud Dream Mountain Villa!” Fanny scornfully retorted.
Sophia couldn’t help but smirk as she observed the expressions on the faces of the Henley family members.
These relatives of hers were nothing more than a bunch of infighters, and just the mention of Cloud Dream Mountain had them trembling in fear.
“Anyone who wants to visit my new home, follow me. If you’re afraid, feel free to leave!” Sophia shot a sidelong glance at Fanny and then proceeded to lead the way toward Villa No. 9.
Staring at Sophia’s departing figure, Fanny was dumbfounded.
Could it really be that Villa No. 9 was Sophia’s new home?
After all, she had only taken on the role of the general manager of Sophia’s cosmetics company a few years ago. How could she possibly afford a villa worth 200 million?
Upon seeing Leo, Jessica, and Martin heading towards Villa No. 9, the Henley family reluctantly followed.
Standing before the entrance of Villa No. 9, Sophia produced a key from her person, and the hearts of those present raced in sync.
Jeffrey’s face turned ashen. He had thought he would mock Martin today, but reality had slapped him in the face.
Even though his son Michael had bought him a big villa, and Michael was a high-paid executive, Cloud Dream Mountain Villa had rendered them insignificant.
Jeffrey’s classmates were similarly shocked, and it took them a while to recover.
“Jeffrey, it’s terrifying. Martin actually lives in Cloud Dream Mountain!”
“Their family must have incredibly good luck. Those who live here are the cream of the crop among the wealthy!”
“It seems Martin is doing the best among all our classmates. This guy is too low-key; we didn’t even tell before today.”
As Jeffrey listened to his old classmates, he felt utterly defeated.
