Clearly, everyone found it unbelievable that Lionel’s poor and downtrodden family actually bought a villa. , Jenny exclaimed, “I saw the property purchase agreement with my own eyes. It can’t be a mistake. Moreover, Mindy admitted it herself. She said Miranda bought it for them as a gift. Oh, how I wish I had such a capable daughter! Mimi may be a woman, but it looks like she’s even outshining Jack!” , Jack had started his own company, but even he hadn’t given his parents a villa. Rena’s tone grew coldes as she spoke, “Miranda is certainly a good daughter, but does she really have that much money?” , “Oh, I wouldn’t know about that. Rena, don’t underestimate young women these days,” Jenny answered. , Rena didn’t pursue the topic of the villa any further. She simply said, “Come over pick up the stuff when you’re free.” , “I’ll come tomorrow.

We need to share the great news now that Lionel bought a villa!” Jenny retorted. , “What are you really up to?” Harrold knew his wife’s behavior too well. , , , , Jenny snorted, “I’m just letting everyone know so that they will go and congratulate Lionel. What’s wrong with that?” , Harold insisted, “You definitely have a hidden agenda. , Jenny chuckled slyly and nudged him. “I didn’t know you knew me so well…” , “What are you doing? I’m driving!” , “Well, I can’t deny that I have my reasons for doing so. If I asked Lionel or Mindy directly, they would never tell me where the money came from. So, I’m getting someone else to ask.” , Jenny didn’t believe they could withstand the pressure. Even if they didn’t spill the beans, at least they , 25 BONUS , Chapter 0162 , would be frustrated by the harassment! , Moreover, why should she be the only one feeling jealous? It would be more fun if everyone were in on it. , Harold remained indifferent. “Cynthia doesn’t like to make a fuss, and Rena tends to mind her own business. I think your plan isn’t going to work.” , Jenny scoffed, “That just shows you don’t really understand your sister or Rena.” , Indeed, Cynthia wasn’t one to meddle in others‘ affairs and only focused on maintaining her own little world. However, she loved to preach about feminism and being Independent as a woman due to the deep trauma she suffered from her divorce. , Not only did she hold herself to that standard, but she also liked to push her ideals on others.

Lionel’s family is in for some serious trouble!” , “Cynthia, what an unexpected guest! Why have you come? Please come in…” , The day after Jenny made those calls, Cynthia paid Lionel and Mindy an unexpected visit while they were packing at home. , No wonder Lionel was surprised.
