Adrian burst into laughter and said, “Definitely not now; the Fords have guests over, and their family is hosting a dinner.”

Upon hearing this, Greg couldn’t help but laugh out loud too, since Spencer was known as the ‘little prince of blind dates.’

He had been on dozens of blind dates, undefeated; he always managed to infuriate the women to the point of giving up on the date altogether.

However, this time he had met his match, even meeting the parents, so it seemed this marriage was pretty much set in stone.

Greg couldn’t resist saying, “Tell me, you’ve been friends with Magnus for so many years, why do I feel like you’re taking a bit too much pleasure in his misfortune?”

Adrian winked at him and laughed, “Aren’t you doing the same?”

Before the words were fully out, both men started laughing heartily together.

After the laughter subsided, Greg said earnestly, “Actually, Tracy Miles is indeed a good person, gentle and graceful, and she handles things very appropriately.

And judging by her appearance, she has a very high destiny. Even without the Fords, she would definitely have a life full of wealth and honor.

If Magnus marries her, it’s not just about working twenty years less; he probably won’t even have the chance to strive for much in his lifetime.”

Adrian’s face was full of surprise as he asked, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true.”

Just as Greg was about to continue explaining, he saw Adrian turn on his heel and walk away, quickly asking, “Hey, where are you going?”

“I’m off to the Burleys to see if that bastard Spencer needs to call off the wedding. If he really can’t endure this hardship, then I’ll take it on for him, since we’re brothers after all.”

“Hahaha.”

Watching Adrian’s retreating figure without looking back, Greg laughed heartily because he knew Adrian was definitely going to the Burleys to hold the fort.

The goal was simple: to keep an eye on that rascal Spencer and prevent him from messing up the marriage.

He chuckled softly and couldn’t help shaking his head.

The house he bought today was truly unique, and nobody disputed that it was one of a kind in history.

The seller didn’t make a penny, the buyer hadn’t even seen the house, and the two went directly to the housing authority to transfer ownership—that’s how the house sale was concluded.

How many real brothers in the world could manage that?

He was genuinely happy, grateful to have met Adrian Wright and Spencer Burley and to have become good friends with them.

They say having one true friend in life is enough, yet he had made two; surely it’s not too much to be happy about that for a moment?

The house Greg bought was in Imperial View Community, very close to the city center, just across a street block, with the southern side of the neighborhood facing the Enchanted River formed by the confluence of five major rivers.

He drove to the Imperial View Community, and following the directions in the parking lot, he found the four parking spaces that came with the house.

Four parking spaces, all close to the elevators, which would take him directly to the top floor.

Moreover, the elevators had good privacy; Greg’s elevator card had access to any floor, whereas other residents’ cards couldn’t reach the top floor.

After all, the entire community’s property management belonged to the Wright Family, so such privileges were available.

Greg parked his car and stepped into the elevator.

Ding!

As the elevator doors opened, what came into view was a square foyer. On the left was a cloakroom dedicated to shoes, and on the right was another one for coats and outer garments.

Passing through the foyer, he directly entered the enormous living room.

The living room was vast, easily seventy to eighty square meters, larger than some small apartments.

Part of it was a normal living room, while another section was separated by a mini TV feature wall, which housed various fitness equipment.

At a glance, the fitness equipment here was even more complete than what Jophia Locke had.

Moreover, all these machines were brand new and had never been used before.

On the far left of the living room was an extensive floor-to-ceiling window that provided a perfect view of the nearby Enchanted River when standing by it.

Walking further in led to the kitchen and dining area, which combined a Western-style island with a Chinese kitchen. The side of the dining area also featured massive floor-to-ceiling windows.

The view outside was just as beautiful as that from the living room.

Greg then checked out the master bedroom and guest bedrooms and found that all the furniture was new, and even items like bed sheets and covers were brand new as well.

It was evident that Adrian Wright had indeed planned to live here for a long time, but now the house had become Greg’s.

If he wanted to live here again, it would depend on whether Greg was willing or not.

After making a round, Greg couldn’t help but wonder; he had seen the gym and the entertainment room that Adrian Wright mentioned, but he had not found the swimming pool.

Just as he was full of questions, he suddenly spotted a semi-hidden staircase next to the gym.

Climbing up the stairs, Greg was immediately stunned and cursed himself for being too young. The stairs led directly to the rooftop terrace.

While other houses had things like elevator shafts and fire water tanks on their rooftops, his own rooftop had nothing of the sort; instead, there was a huge swimming pool built on it.

Next to the pool, there were also plenty of beach chairs, clearly meant for parties.

Greg was astounded and murmured, “I wasn’t told about getting a rooftop when I bought it, did I just make a profit?”

Looking over the clean and tidy house, Greg smiled with satisfaction and then sent the address of the house to Jophia Locke, telling her to come here for classes in the future.

Two minutes later, Jophia Locke suddenly called, puzzled, “Mr. Jensen, the address you sent me…”

“Oh, that’s my newly purchased house. It happens to have a gym, so you won’t need to go to your place for classes anymore.”

“A newly purchased house?”

Jophia Locke said blankly, “You bought a house?”

“Yeah, didn’t you tell me to buy a house with a gym? I had some free time this afternoon, so I contacted a friend and bought a house from him.”

“I… I just said that when you buy a house in the future, you could consider one with a gym, I didn’t say to buy one right now.”

Jophia Locke was dumbfounded. It was just an offhand comment from her, yet the other party really went out and bought a house – and they did it between the morning and the afternoon.

Is a house like cabbage?

To be bought just like that?

Do the wealthy really see buying a house as casually as one would go shopping for groceries?

“Alright, let’s leave it at that, you can come over tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Jophia Locke rubbed her face, still finding it hard to believe.

At the same time, she suddenly started considering whether or not to offer Greg a top-tier package.

However, Greg wasn’t thinking that much. He flipped through the liquor cabinet and found quite a few good bottles of liquor, which left him overjoyed.

He poured himself a glass of whiskey and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the river scene outside, a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth:

“I’ve been fooled by this kid; how could such great decorations cost only two million?”

But what’s done was done, and Greg couldn’t really say anything more about it; he could only hope to return the favor someday.
