Chapter 1076 This House Is Not Yours at All!
Once decided, James took along these twenty people with him and entered Lakeside Garden. Among these twenty, there were Donald and Yvette as well.
There was no way for both Donald and Yvette to give up such a golden opportunity! They had always been suspicious regarding James owning a house in Lakeside Garden. Therefore, they wanted to find out whether James was lying.
In the meantime, the rest were completely mesmerized by the surrounding environment as soon as they set foot inside Lakeside Garden. As the most luxurious and top-tier villa neighborhood in Eastcliff, Lakeside Garden had a magnificent environment.
Unlike James, Donald and Yvette’s facial expressions blackened with annoyance. After strolling for a while, Yvette suggested with a hinting manner, “Mr. Cunningham, why don’t you take us to look around your house first?”
Upon hearing Yvette’s suggestion, everyone simultaneously looked at James.
As if aware that someone in his group of old friends would ask him such questions, James was well-prepared for the situation. He nodded slowly, unfazed by Yvette’s sudden ‘friendly’ suggestion. “Sure! Let’s all go and have a look. Oh, by the way… my house might be slightly messy inside since it hasn’t been renovated yet. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience.”
Everyone laughed and said, “Oh, James, no need for apologies. Don’t all houses that haven’t been renovated look that way?”
“James, you’re still the competent one out of us bunch!”
“Yeah… Never have I expected that I would be able to visit Lakeside Garden in my lifetime. It’s all thanks to you, James!”
“I’ve mentioned it before, haven’t I? James is definitely not mediocre. It turns out I was right! James is indeed the most competent one among us all!”
One after another, everyone was praising James’ capability. Seeing this, James felt ever so proud. Then, he took everyone to a villa that he had negotiated in advance.
“Everyone, this is my house. Have a look around.”
At once, Donald regained himself. He immediately wanted to run over and expose James for his lies.
Seeing this, Yvette immediately grabbed Donald and stopped him in his tracks. She then whispered, “Dad, don’t rush. I’ll check first!” As she said that, Yvette ran to one side and made a call to her friend.
Meanwhile, on James’ side, he was still indulging in the hype with a complacent look on his face with Helen next to him. In contrast with James’ current prideful demeanor, Helen breathed a sigh of relief. By the looks of things, it looked like they did not blow their own covers in front of these people. Deep down, she was also a little more grateful to Liam. This time, Liam had helped them keep some of their dignity.
All of a sudden, Yvette walked in from outside. She immediately asked, “Mr. Cunningham, when exactly did you buy this house?”
Taken aback by Yvette’s question, James was stunned for a moment. Next, his facial expression turned slightly embarrassed. “Uh… I-I can’t recall the exact date and day. Anyhow, it was a few months ago.”
Upon hearing that, Yvette guffawed. “Mr. Cunningham, you can drop your act now! This house is not yours at all!”
