Wendy and Christopher were struggling to ept the shocking reality they faced. It felt as though they had been publicly humiliated, and the urge to disappearpletely overwhelmed them.
This situation was utterly absurd!
Suddenly, an elderly man emerged from the vi.
Approaching Charlie, the old man asked respectfully, “Excuse me, are you Mr. Wade?”
Charlie nodded and responded, “Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
The old man introduced himself, saying, “Hello, Mr. Wade. I am Mr. White’s butler, responsible for the upkeep of this vi. My name is Barry Landon, but you can just call me Barry. I handle the maintenance here.”
“Barry?” Wendy gasped, her expression one of shock as if she had just received an electric shock.
Wasn’t Barry the butler for her fiancé Gerald? Why was he here?
Did this vi actually belong to the White family?
If that were true, then why was it now under Charlie’s name?
Wendy quickly inquired, “Barry, what’s happening? Does this vi really belong to the White family?”
Barry confirmed, “Yes, it used to belong to the White family, but it is now Mr. Wade’s.”
Then, turning to Charlie, Barry asked, “Mr. Wade, the renovations are still ongoing. When do you intend to move in? I can arrange for the workers to speed up the process and ensure everything is ready for you.”
Charlie replied, “We won’t be moving in just yet. Please continue overseeing the vi for me. I’ll contact you when I’m ready.”
“Understood, Mr. Wade!” Barry acknowledged, bowing slightly before stepping aside, waiting for Charlie to enter the vi.
Wendy remained stunned, and her family members were equally taken aback by the revtions.
“The White family’s butler?” Wendy eximed, still in disbelief. “Are you referring to Gerald’s family?”
Charlie looked at her and smiled, “Yes, that’s right. I’m talking about Gerald’s family. His uncle gifted me this house.”
“What?!” Wendy felt as if her mind was about to explode!
This vi had originally belonged to her fiancé’s family?
In other words, she could have been the future owner of this vi?
Why on earth would they give it to Charlie?
This was supposed to be her vi!
Wendy’s parents were equally confused and angry.
Since their daughter was set to marry into the White family, they believed the vi should have been passed down to her. Why was it given to Charlie instead? It was preposterous!
Hannah quickly turned to Wendy, asking, “Wendy, what’s going on? Did you have any idea that the White family owned this vi?”
Wendy shook her head and replied, “No, I had no idea. Gerald never mentioned it to me…”
Hannah urged, “You need to call Gerald right now! Find out what’s happening!”<fn9489> Updates are released by fin?novel</fn9489>
“Okay,” Wendy agreed.
She swiftly pulled out her cell phone and dialed Gerald’s number.
As soon as he picked up, Wendy asked, “Gerald, does your family own a vi in Thompson First?”
Gerald confirmed, “Yes, we own one of the vis there. What’s going on?”
Wendy’s tone was filled with frustration as she replied, “Why didn’t you tell me about this? Wasn’t this vi supposed to be our future home?”
“No,” Gerald responded immediately. “My uncle bought that vi for his retirement. He loves the environment at Thompson First. Why would he give it to us?”
Gerald then asked, “How did you find out about the vi?”
Feeling hurt, Wendy couldn’t hold back her tears. “Did you know that your uncle gave away his vi?”
“Gave it away?” Gerald asked in disbelief. “Who did he give it to?”
Wendy continued sobbing as she replied, “He gave it to Charlie! My ipetent brother-inw, Charlie!”
