It turned out to be Charlie’s mother-inw, ine!


    Apanying ine was none other than her husband, Jacob!


    Charlie and ire exchanged nces, both slightly taken aback. What were they doing here?


    ire rushed forward and asked, “Mom! Dad! What brings you here?”


    ine responded, “Your aunt and uncle contacted us to let us know they’re interested in checking out houses at Thompson First. They invited us along to help them look around today.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As she spoke, ine shot Charlie an annoyed re, revealing her irritation.


    ine had no intention of being here today, especially after a disagreement with her daughter the night before regarding her desire to move out of their home.


    Unexpectedly, she received a call from Christopher, asking her and Jacob to join them in exploring the properties.


    What did they expect her to do? Wasn’t this just a way for them to unt their ns to buy a house at Thompson First?


    Feeling ufortable, ine didn’t dare refuse her elder brother’s invitation, so she and Jacob hurried over as soon as she got the call.


    This, in part, exined ine’s frustration with Charlie. If only she had a more capable son-inw, perhaps she could also live in Thompson First!


    At that moment, ine turned to Hannah with a ttering smile, saying, “Sister-in-Law, you’re truly impressive! I can’t believe you’re buying a house in Thompson First! I’m so envious right now! You’re actually going for the two hundred and forty square meter house! Do you realize how luxurious that is? I honestly don’t know if my family will ever be able to afford such a grand home in our lifetime!”


    Despite her irritation with her elder brother’s family, ine knew she had to tter them.


    However, Hannah, Harold’s mother, was visibly displeased. With a cold re at ine, she responded, “ine, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on us?”


    Hannah was so furious she felt like she might explode!<fn183b> This content belongs to ?ovelFind</fn183b>


    In truth, she had summoned Jacob and ine to witness her purchasing a first-rate high-rise condominium unit at Thompson First, intending to show off in front of them.


    What she hadn’t anticipated was ine’s son-inw being so sessful—he owned thergest vi in Thompson First!


    ine felt a wave of envy wash over her, her jealousy palpable.


    Now, as ineplimented Hannah on her new house, was she trying to mock her?


    Hannah’s family was moving into a vi worth at least one hundred million dors! How could ine im to be envious? And why was she going on about not being able to afford such luxury? Was this some kind of sarcasm?


    ine was confused. Trying to tter Hannah, she realized that Hannah misinterpreted her motives. Why would she look down on them? If she truly felt that way, why would she beplimenting them?


    Determined to mend things, ine quickly continued, “Oh! Sister-in-Law, how could I everpare to you? It’s likeparing a candle to the sun! I would never look down on you! You’re about to start a wonderful new chapter at Thompson First! Meanwhile, look at me—I’m still stuck in a small, dpidated house. You wouldn’t believe how rundown it is! Of course, I envy you!”


    Hannah was livid, her anger rendering her speechless.


    Meanwhile, her husband, Christopher, stood next to her, teeth clenched in frustration. “ine, do you find it amusing to provoke and mock us? Aren’t you moving into a vi at Thompson First? What’s your point here?”


    Christopher then directed his re at his younger brother, Jacob, saying, “Jacob, do you still consider me your brother? Have you lost all respect for your mother? How could you keep something like this from us? You own a vi here, and you didn’t even mention it?”


    Jacob looked taken aback. “A vi? What vi are you talking about? Brother, are you nning to buy a vi instead? You’re so wealthy!”
