Chapter 748

Chloe nodded. “Sure. It’s still early, so I don’t see why not. Let’s get a taxi.”

At that moment, James stopped her. “It’s fine. We have a car.”

“You have a car?” Chloe asked in disbelief. “Wow, it seems like a lot has changed over the years. Backbefore I left, only the rich guys could afford a car.”

Helen smiled. “We have two cars. Well, three actually, but one of them was totaled.”

The news shocked Chloe. “You have three cars? Helen, that’s a bit of a waste, isn’t it? At least savesome of your hard-earned money. Don’t take out a loan just because you want to keep up with theJoneses. It’ll be better if you work hard and live an honest life rather than exhausting yourself for a fakeone. Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”

Helen smiled awkwardly. “It’s fine. Let’s go.”

Then, Demi said, “Mom, we can’t. We only have two cars, but there’s ten of us. That’s not enough.”

“What? Why?” Helen was befuddled.

Demi shot her a glare. “We had some wine back there, remember? We need two drivers, so that makestwelve of us, not ten.”

Upon hearing that, realization struck Helen. “Oh, silly me. I forgot all about that. So someone has to takea taxi home. Liam, Matthew, why don’t you two take a taxi home? We’ll get a couple of drivers forourselves.”

At that moment, Minerva cut in. “Tate and I will take the taxi, Aunt Helen.”

Immediately, Helen objected to it. “But you’re the guest here. I can’t let you do that.”

Minerva waved her off dismissively. “It’s fine. Just give us the location and we’ll be right there.”

Left with no choice, Helen told them where her new place was, then the Campbell siblings left.

After they were out of sight, Tate asked, “Why are we taking the taxi, Minerva?”

Minerva pouted. “Really? That’s your question? I thought Mom and Dad told us Aunt Helen and herfamily are paupers. Even if they can afford a car, I bet it’s a hunk of junk. Those cars are small, cramped,and hard to move around. I’d rather get a taxi. At least there’s only the two of us, and there’s more spaceto move around.”

Ah, I see. “You’re smart, Minerva.”

They went to the roadside and stopped a taxi. Once they got in, the driver asked, “Where to?”

Minerva answered, “The Grand Garden or something. Know where that is? I can hit them up and getthem to tell you the exact location if you don’t.”

The driver quickly answered, “Everyone knows where the Grand Garden is, miss. That’s one of the mostaffluent areas in Eastcliff. Every driver worth their salt in Eastcliff knows where that is.”

The news caught her by surprise. “S-Sorry? It’s an affluent area? The Grand Garden is? Are you sure?”

The driver nodded. “Yeah, the one and only. Everyone in there is as rich as can be. And every house is amansion there. Almost everyone in this city knows about the Grand Garden.”

Upon hearing that, Minerva looked at Tate, confused. “Tate, are you sure they told you to head to TheGrand Garden? Or am I imagining things?”

Tate scratched his head. “I think so. I mean, you couldn’t make that name up even if you wanted to.”

Now, Minerva was truly flummoxed. “What is going on? I thought Mom said Aunt Helen used to live in arickety, leaking house, but now they’re living in a mansion? Is this some mistake?”

Tate was equally confused about the whole situation, and he wanted answers too.
