“It will happen soon, I will give you and the child a stable home,” Quentin promised her firmly, his gaze unwavering.
Back at home.
Emery Pittman and Emma were already at home, as Emery had been discharged from the hospital.
Although they still didn’t hold Quentin in high regard, he wasn’t as disdainful of Quentin as before.
“Dad, Mom.” Quentin greeted them.
Emma just gave a cold snort upon seeing him.
Emery nodded slightly, after all, this time, he had been treated so well in the hospital, thanks to Quentin.
“Hmm, back already?” Emery said lightly. “How’s the new school?”
“Sloburg Kindergarten, the best kindergarten in our city, it’s not bad,” Charlotte said.
Emery was slightly surprised. Both children were able to attend Sloburg Kindergarten? Could it be because of the Pittman family?
He didn’t dwell on it.
“That’s good.”
“Dad, Mom, I feel like the environment here isn’t very good, I want…”
“Our whole family lives here, all thanks to you!” Emma retorted coldly.
Quentin looked embarrassed.
Emery said calmly, “Call me Uncle Emery, so, what do you want?”
“I want to buy you a house,” Quentin replied truthfully.
Emery’s attitude had softened considerably, which was a good sign.
“Oh-”
Emma chuckled, “Such empty boasting. Buy a house? Can you afford it? Don’t boast and then disappoint us, making us happy for nothing.”
“We don’t want a flat but a villa, or it would be embarrassing!”
“Even if it’s not a villa, it should at least be a large mansion of a few hundred square meters!”
Upon hearing Emma’s words, Quentin immediately nodded, “Okay.”
Charlotte scolded, “Mom, don’t make it difficult for Quentin.”
“Just a few days and you’re already siding with this guy? Have you forgotten the hardships we’ve endured over the years? If it weren’t for him, I’d still be the rich Mrs. Pittman of the Pittman family!” Emma’s anger surged, feeling deeply wronged.
“Aunt Emma, I will fulfill your request,” Quentin’s voice was firm. “I promise.”
Emma just sneered. Who didn’t know Quentin was just a poor guy now? She’d believe it when she saw it!
“Enough, you better leave now, or I will drive you away.”
Emma’s tone was icy.
Quentin could only bid farewell and leave.
Downstairs, Eileen saw him coming down and asked, “Sir, are we going home now?”
“Yes.” Quentin got into the car, his eyes slightly closed. “Also, find me the best villa area in Stresall, please.”
“Sure.”
In the blink of an eye, one or two days passed by.
During these two days, the atmosphere in Stresall became increasingly lively.
Because, after decades, Stresall’s largest project, the Night City, was finally ready for ribbon cutting and grand opening.
This made many people anticipate.
After all, the Night City was the newest, largest, and trendiest mega mall in Stresall.
It was bound to boost Stresall’s economic development.
In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the Night City’s opening.
In front of the Night City, which had just been completed, was decorated with lights and festoons, creating a lively atmosphere.
The attendees of the ribbon-cutting ceremony were all dressed in suits and evening gowns, all prominent figures in Stresall, making the scene exceptionally grand.
A red Cayenne parked in the Night City’s parking lot.
Charlotte, dressed in a purple gown, stepped out of the car.
“Alright, you can just drop me off here, I’ll go in first.”
She glanced at Quentin sitting in the back seat, smiling, “Wait for my good news!”
“Okay!” Quentin encouraged her, “Good luck!”
After Charlotte left, Eileen asked quietly, “What’s your plan for tonight?”
Quentin remained silent, producing an exquisite demon mask in his hand.
“It’s time to have some fun with those top four richest families…”
His eyes gleamed with a chilling light.
