Emily Bolton and the other quickly caught a bus to the county town. As soon as they got off, Emily Bolton hopped ahead, leading the way. “Brother, follow me! I know where it is!”
James Bolton saw Sister’s smile, showing her little tiger teeth, and couldn’t help but smile too, hurrying after her.
Soon, Emily Bolton entered a real estate sales office, and as soon as James Bolton walked in, a sales lady came over to greet them.
“Sir, are you looking to buy a house? If you have any requirements, please let me know. I’ll introduce you to the most suitable property.” The sales lady was very friendly. Their company’s newly built community had a great environment and excellent facilities, so the prices weren’t low. She could earn a good commission for every unit sold.
James Bolton didn’t look like someone wealthy, but nowadays, the richer people are, the more simply they dress, so judging by appearances was long outdated. Besides, ever since James Bolton mastered Iron Fist, he naturally carried an imposing aura! No one dared to underestimate him.
“Miss, we’d like to see the houses in the Cuizhu Community, is that okay?” Emily Bolton called out expectantly from the side.
The sales lady apologized, “I’m sorry, little Sister, all the houses in Cuizhu Community have been sold. The nearby Luyuan Community was also developed by our company, and the environment is nice too. There are still a few units left. What do you think?”
James Bolton glanced at Emily Bolton, who pouted, “No, the environment there is much worse! And it’s so far from our school.”
James Bolton mainly wanted to buy a house to take care of Sister, so hearing Emily Bolton say this, he waved his hand, ready to try another place.
Seeing James Bolton about to leave, the sales lady hesitated for a moment before saying, “Sir, there is actually one house left in Cuizhu Community, but…” She looked at James Bolton a bit nervously as she spoke.
“If there’s still a house, why didn’t you mention it earlier?” James Bolton frowned.
“Sir, actually, it’s a standalone villa that was originally reserved for our manager. But not long ago, our manager was transferred to work in another city, so…” Seeing James Bolton’s displeased expression, the sales lady hurried to explain, while also feeling hopeful—if she could sell that villa, her commission alone would be over ten thousand.
“Take us to see it!” James Bolton didn’t know how much a villa would cost, but considering Tao’an was just a remote county town, it probably wouldn’t be too expensive.
Seeing that James Bolton didn’t object, the sales lady happily led the way, hoping to close the deal this time; then the LV handbag she’d been eyeing would finally be within reach. The sales office wasn’t far from Cuizhu Community, just a five or six minute walk.
Passing through the regular residential area, at the very back was the villa section. To call it a “villa section” was a bit much—there were only seven or eight standalone houses. After all, this wasn’t a big city. There were plenty of people in the county who could afford it, but most had already bought homes in first- or second-tier cities. Who would want to spend millions on a house in a county town!
The sales lady led James Bolton and Siblings to the villa on the right side, stopped, and said to James Bolton, “Sorry, I still don’t know your surname, sir. This is the one—are you satisfied?”
“My surname is Zhang. Please take us inside for a look!” The sales lady opened the villa’s main door, and James Bolton and Siblings followed her in.
Once inside, James Bolton realized the house was very spacious and already fully furnished—ready to move in. The manager probably hadn’t expected to be transferred!
The house was nicely decorated, showing the original owner’s good taste—elegant and stylish, a blend of Chinese and Western styles. It was rare to find such a house in a county town; clearly, the manager had put a lot of thought into it, and now James Bolton was getting a bargain.
What’s more, there was even a small garden and a swimming pool behind the villa. Now James Bolton wasn’t sure if he had enough money!
“Hmm, the house is nice! Can you tell me how much it costs?” James Bolton went upstairs for a look, then glanced at Emily Bolton, who had been silent the whole time.
“Mr. Bolton, the house was originally decorated by our manager himself. He didn’t say how much he spent on the renovations before he left. Our new manager had someone estimate it, and the current price is 3.18 million. What do you think?” She looked at James Bolton nervously after speaking.
James Bolton thought for a moment, then asked Emily Bolton, “Little Emily, do you like it? Don’t worry about the money, Brother can earn it back in just a few days!” James Bolton wasn’t lying—if he wanted, he could go gamble on jade stones every day, and with a bit of luck, a single piece of jadeite could be worth more than that!
Emily Bolton had been stunned by the house’s décor and furnishings as soon as she entered, and was even more shocked by the price quoted by the sales lady!
When James Bolton asked her, she blurted out, “Brother, it’s too expensive! You haven’t made that much money yet! Why don’t we go look at Luyuan Community instead?” Emily Bolton looked panicked. This was the first time in her life she’d ever bought something so expensive. She’d only ever seen villas on TV before—who would have thought her own Big Brother would want to buy one!
The sales lady beside them was a bit disappointed to hear Emily Bolton say this, but she didn’t blame James Bolton for coming to look even if he couldn’t afford it. After all, not everyone could spend millions on a house in a county town.
“Is there a discount? Can I get a mortgage?” James Bolton saw that Sister only thought the price was too high and didn’t say she didn’t like it, so he stopped asking her opinion and turned to the disappointed sales lady.
