Chapter 489 - 489: The Houses in Royal Villas
After leaving the high-speed rail station, Connor, Sadie, and Candace took a taxi and rushed to Candace’s house.
Candace even asked Connor and Sadie to sit at the back.
In the beginning, the two of them might have chatted casually, but it was just some polite words.
Connor had always treated Sadie like a younger sister, while Sadie was very disdainful of Connor. In addition, the two of them had different social circles, hobbies, and so on. Naturally, there was nothing to talk about.
So later, the two of them simply stopped talking.
Connor directly turned his head to look out of the window, closed his eyes and began to meditate. He wasn’t intentionally trying to be cold, but because of Mina’s matter last night, Connor was a little tired. Now, there was nothing to talk about with Sadie, so he chose to rest.
After Sadie saw Connor closing his eyes to rest, a strange look flashed across her eyes. Then, she also looked at the scenery outside the window.
In fact, Connor gave Sadie a very good impression. However, because Sadie was a goddess pursued by countless people in school, her standards were naturally very high. When she saw that Connor did not speak, she would definitely not take the initiative to talk to Connor.
Sadie had seen many boys who liked to pretend to be cold and aloof when they were pursuing her, but Sadie did not fall for it.
Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a villa.
This villa community was actually not very far from Connor’s villa.
Although Connor did not know much about houses, to be able to buy such a villa in Porthampton would cost at least five to six million dollars.
In Connor’s impression, Candace’s family condition was not very good. At most, she was just an ordinary family, which was also the reason why Candace could not give Connor money to help Connor.
However, after so many years, Candace’s family conditions must have changed. Otherwise, Candace would never have bought such a villa in Porthampton.
Candace seemed to have noticed Connor’s confusion and explained to him, “Connor, I’ve been running my own company for the past few years, so I’ve earned some money!”
“So that’s how it is!”
Connor nodded his head lightly and didn’t say anything.
Previously, Connor was still considering whether he should give Candace some money to repay her kindness.
However, it seemed that Candace was not short of money. If Connor gave her money, it would be a little rude. Even if he gave it to Candace, she might not want it.
Most importantly, Connor was still considering whether he should tell Candace that he was a rich heir.
Candace’s villa was very good, but it was still a far cry from Connor’s mansion.
“Aunt Candace, this villa of yours should cost a lot of money, right?” Connor asked Candace with a smile.
“Yes, 1 bought this villa for six million dollars, but I was not very satisfied with this villa at that time. 1 prefer the ones in Royal Villas…” Candace replied.
After hearing Candace’s words, Connor was stunned. A trace of shock flashed across his eyes because the Royal Villas that Candace mentioned happened to be the residential area where Connor’s own villa was located.
“Royal Villas is the best villa community in Porthampton. The environment is elegant and the location is not bad. Moreover, the villas there are also very beautiful. My mother liked them very much after seeing them, but the villas there were too expensive. The cheapest one cost tens of millions, and the more expensive ones cost hundreds of millions. That’s why my mother bought a house here later…”
Sadie saw that Connor didn’t have any reaction after hearing the words “Royal Villas.” She thought that Connor might not know what Royal Villas was at all, so she took the initiative to explain this to Connor.
“Those who can buy a house in Royal Villas are all rich people in Porthampton. Although I’ve made some money over the years, I’m still far from those rich people!” Candace sighed helplessly.
“I think your house is already very good. The environment and everything else are quite good…” Connor smiled and replied to Candace. After hesitating for a moment, he continued, “Aunt Candace, if you like the house in Royal Villas, 1’11 buy one for you when I have money in the future…”
“Haha, then when you have money in the future, don’t forget about me!” Candace replied happily.
At this time, Candace only took Connor’s words as a joke. In her eyes, Connor was just an ordinary university student. It was impossible for him to have the money to buy such an expensive villa.
Connor had intended to say that he had a few villas in Royal Villas and could give them to Candace directly.
However, after thinking about it, Connor felt that if he said that, Candace would be scared silly. At that time, she would be like Mina’s friends who would doubt whether what he said was true or not. Connor was not in the mood to explain these things to these people, so he said it immediately and fooled them.
Connor felt that it was better to slowly tell Candace about his identity. This way, it might be easier for Candace to accept it.
However, Sadie couldn’t help but frown after hearing Connor’s words.
Earlier, she had also said that the villa at Royal Villas was worth at least tens of millions. It was impossible for Connor to have so much money, so he felt that Connor was obviously bragging.
“I thought that Connor was different from the boys in my school, but 1 didn’t expect them to all be like this. They all like to brag. The house in Royal Villas is so expensive. You can’t buy it just because you say you want to…”
Sadie couldn’t help but whisper in her heart. She looked at Connor indifferently and didn’t say anything, but her previously good impression of Connor had been swept away.
A few minutes later, Connor followed Candace and Sadie into a double-story villa.
The interior of the villa was luxuriously decorated in typical European-style designs. The furniture was also made of real leather.
After entering the villa, Connor found a middle-aged man wearing
gold-rimmed glasses, sitting on the sofa watching TV.
This middle-aged man was none other than Sadie’s father, Tony Colt.
Although Connor had a good impression of Candace, he didn’t have a good impression of Tony!
