At that moment, the sales lady approached Charlie and firmly stated, “Sir, if you’re not planning to buy a house today, I kindly ask you to leave. Please do not disrupt the other customers who are here to purchase properties.”
Claire sighed deeply, tugging at Charlie’s sleeve as she urged, “Come on, Charlie. Let’s look somewhere else.”
Meanwhile, other customers began to boo Charlie, shouting, “If you can’t afford it, just leave! You’re embarrassing yourself!”
Unfazed, Charlie smiled and replied, “Do you know why none of you can afford to live in the villas here? It’s because you’re all narrow-minded, and there’s no chance any of you will ever own a villa in your lifetime!”
At this point, Harold continued to mock Charlie, laughing, “Come on, Charlie! Do you really think anyone here is poorer than you?”
Charlie raised an eyebrow, responding, “Harold, you keep insisting I’ll never afford a property in Thompson First. What will you do if I actually own one of those villas?”
Harold chuckled and pointed to the tallest building nearby, arrogantly declaring, “If you can buy a villa here, I, Harold, will jump from the top of that building!”
Many onlookers echoed his sentiments, shouting, “Yes! If you own a villa, I’ll jump off that building too!”
“Exactly! I’ll jump off if you can prove you own a villa in Thompson First! I won’t tolerate anyone pretending to be something they’re not!”
Claire felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment, exclaiming, “Charlie! Do you really want to challenge them and make a fool of yourself?”
Charlie remained composed, smiling as he responded, “My dear wife, why are you so certain that I’ll embarrass myself?”
With that, Charlie pulled out the key and access cards from his pocket, saying, “Look at this. This is the key and access card for Villa A05.”
Wendy laughed mockingly, replying, “Charlie, do you honestly think we’ll believe you just because you’re holding a random key? Do you think we’re that gullible?”
Charlie handed the key and access card to the sales lady, suggesting, “Why don’t you check if this key and access card are genuine?”
The sales lady immediately recognized the key and access card as exclusive to the villa owners in Thompson First. She was taken aback.
Could it be true? Was this man really an owner in Thompson First? If he was, she might lose her job for trying to kick him out earlier.
As this realization struck her, she took the key and access card from Charlie and scanned them on the information reader in the sales center. Suddenly, the reader announced in a robotic voice, “Hello, Mr. Wade, the esteemed owner of Villa A05. Welcome home!”
The sales lady gasped, “Wait, are you Mr. Wade?”
“Yes,” Charlie confirmed with a nod. It appeared Zeke had already transferred the villa’s ownership to him.
Flustered, the sales lady quickly returned the key and access card to Charlie, apologizing, “Mr. Wade, I sincerely apologize for my earlier behavior. I had no idea you were the esteemed owner of Villa A05. Please forgive me for what occurred.”
Everyone present was left speechless.
Charlie was the owner of one of the largest villas in this community? Was this some kind of joke? How could someone like him possibly afford such a property?
Harold’s expression darkened in disbelief. How was this happening? He couldn’t fathom that Charlie could actually buy a villa.
But the sales lady wouldn’t lie, would she? She had scanned his access card, and the machine recognized Charlie as the villa’s owner…
What on earth was going on?
