“Well…” Jenny’s eyes flickered slightly. “Can this wait until tomorrow? tomorrow!”

I promise il come to buy it

The sales agent’s expression dimmed. “Fine, let’s talk tomorrow. However, I’m afraid there’s nothing can do if someone else decides to buy the unit in the meantime.”

Jenny gritted her teeth. “How about I make a phone call first?”

“Sure.”

Jenny turned and walked out of the VIP lounge to replace a quiet corner. Before dialing, she deliberatel turned to check on Mindy and Miranda to make sure they couldn’t hear her. Then, Jenny pressed the call button…

“Hello, Dad. It’s me. I came to Lakeside Jewel today to check out the new apartment for you and Wom Yes, it’s that popular apartment complex. It’s really hot on the market!

“Harold and I have both seen it. The environment is excellent. Yes, it’s very sought after right now! Why don’t you two come over today and sign the agreement? Just to be on the safe side.”

Jenny had made her calculations very carefully.

The apartment she currently lived in wasn’t too bad, but it fell short in comparison to the Lakes Coincidentally, her parents wanted to move into another house.

Jenny planned to persuade them to buy a high–rise unit here. Then, she would convince them to move into her current three–bedroom apartment while she and Harold moved into the new unit.

After all, she was their only child. In the end, wouldn’t the property belong to her anyway? It was only a matter of time.

As for the name on the deed, she would put her parents‘ name first. The apartment could be transferred to her once the full payment was made. By then, they could gift the property to her, saving money even on

taxes.

Jenny continued, “So it’s settled, Dad, Mom, hurry up and take a cab here. Yes, it’s near Earnest High.”

Miranda and Mindy couldn’t care less about who was buying the apartment, who would eventually move in, and whose name was on the deed. They didn’t even have the patience to watch Jenny’s performance until the end and left early because…

Lionel had called to urge them, “Didn’t you say you’d be quick? It’s been over an hour! Mindy, the design of the front compound and backyard is simply amazing! I just took a walk around. Not only can we plant flowers, but we could even set up a vegetable garden and grow fruit trees..”

Mindy could hardly contain herself after listening to her husband’s excited voice. She hadn’t even seen the new house yet!

“We got held up by something. We’ll head over now,” Mindy answered.

After watching her parents sign the agreement and swipe their card, Jenny and Harold drove the elderly

couple back home before heading home themselves.

In the car, Jenny leaned back against her seat and sighed in relief. “It is finally settled.”

“Why were you so eager about your parents buying a house? What’s the difference between today and tomorrow? You dragged them all the way out here and how it’s already dark…”

Jenny rolled her eyes. “What do you know? That apartment needs to be snatched up quickly. We might not get another if we miss this chance! We should strike while the Iron is still hot. As for why I was so

eager…”

Jenny couldn’t stop herself from smiling. “Hey, let me ask you. Do you want to live in that house?”

Harold’s lips twitched. “What kind of question is that? Who wouldn’t want to live in a nice house? The key is whether we could afford it.”

“Great, it’s good that you want to live there. I want to live there too,” she replied.

Harold picked up on the devious and determined tone in her voice. “What do you mean?”

Jenny countered, “What do you think? Isn’t my parents‘ home going to be mine in the end? What’s wrong with enjoying it a little earlier? Besides, the place we’re living in now isn’t bad either…”

Harold gasped, “Don’t tell me, you mean to…”

“I do mean it! What’s wrong with that? Is there a problem? After all, I’m their only daughter!” she retorted. “Your parents won’t agree to this. That house is so expensive.”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.”

Indeed, that house was truly expensive. Just living in the high–rise alone would be enough to drain the wallets of a middle–class family, let alone a villa.

Where did a young woman like Miranda get that kind of money?
