Chapter 0158

Sophia handed the documents to Miranda

Miranda skimmed through them. After confirming they were the originals, she exchanged them for her copies

Once the exchange was done, Sophia let out a sigh of relief. Im really sorry. This is my first time handling a villa sale, and I’m still getting the hang of the process. I didn’t mean to waste your time.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Miranda replied smoothly.

Jenny observed the scene unfold with her eyes wide. Although ishe understood every word, she was completely lost in the context

“What kind of agreement did you just mention? she asked while pointing to the papers in Sophia’s hand.

“The property purchase agreement, Sophia explained

“For who?”

“For Ms. Sutton, of course. This is the property she bought.”

Jenny swayed slightly and nearly lost her balance. “You meant her? Miranda? She bought a house here?

“Of course,” Sophia replied. She was puzzled by Jenny’s reaction and her barrage of silly questions.

“How is that possible? Jenny’s eyes widened as if struck by lightning “Which unit did she buy? Was it from Building 19 or 20? Which floor? What’s the layout? How big is it?

“Ma’am, you might be mistaken. Buildings 19 and 20 are regular high–rise apartments we’re selling. Ms. Sutton purchased a villa”

What?

A…. a villa? Jenny shouted, and her voice nearly cracked. “They bought a villa? Is it Lakeview Villa? How How can that be?”

How could this have happened?

Miranda sighed. “Aunt Jenny, maybe I’m just as useless as you think. Im in my 30s now and still don’t have a job, so the least I could do is buy my parents a vila to show some respect. I hope they enjoy living there, and it should ease your worries about them. Don’t you agree?

Jenny was at a loss for words.

“We still have to set up the new house, so we won’t hold you and Harold from checking out the prope

Mindy sald with a faint smile.

Just then, a sales agent rushed over to Harold and Jenny.

“Hey, didn’t you say you were going to the restroom? How did you end up here? This is the VIP lounge… You two sure know how to pick a spot…”

Harold nudged Jenny, who was still in a daze. Seeing her silence, he apologized. “Sorry, we didn’t know…”

Have you decided whose name will be on the property deed? Is it Jake Sullivan or Hannah Brooks? Once you decide, have them bring their ID so we can sign the property purchase agreement. Otherwise, we can’t proceed

The sales agent scoffed internally. Seriously? They didn’t even know this basic information and wasted her whole morning

Meanwhile, Sophia had already sold a villa, and she hadn’t closed a single deal yet! It was true- comparing yourself to others is maddening.

Her inner turmoil boiled. “Why don’t I have that kind of luck? That was a villa worth five million dollars! The commission alone would be in the tens of thousands–I’m so envious I could cry..”

Miranda and Mindy exchanged a glance. Did they hear that right?

Jake Sullivan and Hannah Brooks?

Weren’t those. Jenny’s parents‘ names?

“Oh, so you’re buying a house for Mr. and Mrs Sullivan? Mindy asked with a smile. “This development project has a great environment. It’s perfect for retirement.”

course not,” Jenny instinctively replied. “It’s just that the house will be in my parents‘ names. We’re the ones who will live there!”

“Oh, I sort that case, you should put your names on it, or maybe Quincey’s. It would be more convenient that way.”

“Exactly!” The sales agent chimed in as she was eager to close the deal.

because

“Since you’ll be living there, you should use your own names! I fought to secure this unit for you of respect for my classmate Quincey Otherwise, it would have been snatched up by other buyers

“If you wait until tomorrow or longer, I can’t guarantee it will still be available. Everyone knows our development project sells out as soon as a unit goes on the market.”

“Please, no…” Jenny panicked. “We want to buy it! We definitely want to buy it!”

“Great. Then just show me your ID, and we can sign the contract right now.”
