The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 530 Lady Lucilla

The ride from The Sky City to The Peak was not that long. However, Lily still fell asleep in Zhou Jingren’s arms during the whole drive towards the place. When they arrived in the mansion, it was already almost eleven and the sun is really hot.

"What is that?" Lily woke up when the car halted. She looked at the people in front of their car that seemed to have a heated argument. "Why are they blocking our car?" she eyed the tall woman, wearing an all-white suit and the other woman wearing a sundress.

"Can you ask what is going on?" Zhou Jingren asked Secretary Go. In response, the latter walked out of the car and started talking to the women. "The tall woman in white is a real estate personnel that’s supposed to guide us today. I forgot her name, but Jichen should know her. He already talked to her for a couple of times about the mansion." He explained to Lily.

She nodded in response before stifling a yawn. "Summer is here. It is very hot outside. It is making me so lazy to move."

"Well... I can carry— "

"Nope." She straightened her back and shook her head. "No carrying." Her serious face prompted her husband to give a low chuckle.

"Alright. No carrying."

"President, I will park the car over there. Then we can start the tour with Miss Ye." Secretary Go said after coming back. "The woman that she was talking to is another resident in The Peak. She is living just a few houses away from the Mansion. That woman wanted to buy the mansion for her sister. But her sister will arrive next week and I have been talking to Miss Ye for two months now. Miss Ye decided to prioritize us. Moreover, we already paid half of the house while the woman only wanted to pay ten million for the reservation fee."

Secretary Go continued to inform them about the current situation. However, Lily’s eyes were already on the estate that was sitting on top of the hill. It was the mansion that she saw on the images with Jingren. However, she felt that the images doesn’t do it any justice.

"Exquisite, right?" Zhou Jingren whispered. "It fits you."

His words sent a brief smile on Lily’s face. "Such a sweet tongue." She said, her eyes were glued to the wrought-iron gates of the house. "We will not go inside the property?" She asked when she noticed that they stopped just outside of the gates.

"Miss Ye wanted to show us the view while we walk towards the mansion." Secretary Go answered. Not long after, the group was already outside of the car admiring the mansion from afar.

"This is one of the most expensive mansions in The Peak," Everyone turned towards the woman named Miss Ye. She walked towards them, a smile plastered on her face. "I am Ye Ting, it’s a pleasure to meet you." She held her hand to Zhou Jingren then towards Lily and Yang Mi. After she introduced herself, she immediately started telling them about the history of the house as well as its special features as they walked towards the mansion.

"These oaks were planted by the first owner for his beloved wife." She gestured towards the lush oaks that lined towards the driveway of the mansion. "In fact, he also named the mansion under his wife, Lady Lucilla. Everyone said that she is from the Royal Family of Europe. A woman of genuine beauty and elegance."

The group continued walking as Lily and Zhou Jingren started asking questions about the mansion. In response, the real estate agent answered them politely. However, this peaceful interaction was interrupted by a loud honk of the car that was just outside of the wrought-iron gates.

They turned their heads towards the man who went out of the car, then towards the woman that Miss Ye was talking to earlier. An apologetic smile immediately bloomed at the latter’s face. "I really apologize for the inconvenience. I guess I would have to leave you so I can ask them to leave us." She sighed.

"May I know what the problem is?" Lily asked. She wasn’t in a mood of any confrontation right now as she was honestly enjoying this tour.

"The woman, Mrs. Randolf wanted to give a fifty percent down payment of the house." Miss Ye answered. "I already informed them that this is not possible as Mr. Zhou already paid half. But she is insisting that I accept it. Now the problem is... I am only an agent, I can’t just accept checks from people. Moreover, this house is already considered sold."

"Then... let’s go talk to them first. I don’t want them to ruin my experience in this house." Lily said as she pulled Zhou Jingren and marched towards the gates. "Yang Mi prepare the documents of this house as well as the other half of the payment. Go and talk to the lawyers with Jichen. Just come back here after you are done."

Yang Mi didn’t have to ask Lily to repeat the question. She already knew that Lily liked this place. She and Go Jichen immediately run towards the parked car and left.

"Is there something that we could do for you?" Lily asked the couple who was glaring at them as if they just stole their precious child. Irritation flashed in Lily’s eyes. The agent already told them No. How could these people still dare show themselves in this place?

Then she remembered that some rich people think that the world belongs to them and they are not really used to people turning them down. Especially the rich heir and heiresses.

"This property is not for sale. My lawyer is already processing the papers of this mansion. I would advise you to leave the property before I call the police for trespassing." The man arrogantly said. He eyed Lily then Zhou Jingren before he sneered. "Leave now before I lose my temper."
