The Villain’s Wife 531 Neighborhood

"Mrs. Randolf, please let’s not create a scene here." Miss Ye calmly said. "This house is already marked sold on our website. As I said..."

"Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do in my own neighborhood?" Hearing the aggressiveness in the woman’s voice, Zhou Jingren took a step in front of Lily, hiding half of her body from the view of the couple. "Do you even know who I am?" the woman’s face was ugly as she continued, "Me and my family have been in this neighborhood for years! I should be a priority!"

"Mrs. Randolf..."

Miss Ye’s words were interrupted when Mrs. Randolf held her hand in front of the agent’s face. She then looked at her husband. "Did you call our lawyers? Is it done? I can’t wait to call the police to arrest these people."

"Mrs. Randolf, please stop being so unreasonable." Miss Ye said. "I already informed you this— "

"Shut it!" Mr. Randolf hissed as he dialed his phone and put it on a loudspeaker. "I will let you listen to our lawyer’s words."

"This is insane." Lily rolled her eyes. "I was originally thinking that this neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Who would have thought that— "

"Shut up, you fox!" Mrs. Randolf interrupted Lily. "You don’t have the right to be here."

"Jingren... is that a dog?" Lily shifted her gaze towards her husband. "I seemed to hear a dog barking." She then turned to look at Mrs. Randolf. "Oh... I thought it was a cute little dog. Turns out... it was just her."

"You — " Mrs. Randolf walked towards Lily, however, her husband was quick to stop her.

"Mr. Randolf?" The voice of the lawyer on the other line interrupted them. "Mr. Randolf, I am sorry to inform you that the place is indeed not for sale anymore. I— "

"Did you offer them money!?" Mr. Randolf’s face turned ugly. "I told you to give them extra!"

"Mr. Randolf... that’s not how it works in this country. I gave them — " the lawyer’s words was cut off when Mr. Randolf ended the call and glared at Lily and Zhou Jingren. "You bought this place?" he asked.

"Is that even a valid question?" Lily’s words almost made Zhou Jingren smack his own face. Was it really true that pregnant women tend to change their attitudes? Lily had been very vocal lately, which is quite the opposite of her previous self.

"Yes, we did." Zhou Jingren answered. "We would appreciate if you leave the place on your own before we call the cops and have you arrested for threatening us." Since Lily’s temper is flaring, Zhou Jingren decided to become the calm one. Two fires could easily make an explosion while fire and water would balance each other.

"Then... how about we buy it from you?" Mrs. Randolf was quick to suggest. She already promised her cousin and sister that they are going to stay in this place for their vacation next week. She would not want to lose some face if she goes back on her promise. "We can add five percent of the price."

In Mrs. Randolf’s mind, a normal person would easily agree to her offer. Sadly, the couple in front of her was far from normal.

"There are mansions in the neighborhood before The Peak. The view is pretty nice there too. If you want, I can have my butler accompany you for a tour. And of course, it is cheaper than this place." It was as if Mrs. Randolf’s attitude changed in a few seconds. The middle-aged woman even gave Lily a gentle smile, as if she was not threatening to have them arrested a few seconds ago.

"No." Zhou Jingren’s short answer immediately made the couple frown.

"But..."

"It’s okay, Layla. I’m sure your cousin will understand." Now that Mr. Randolf realized that the couple in front of him actually had the money to purchase this house on their first viewing, he decided to become more cautious.

As someone who had been staying abroad most of the time, both Mr. And Mrs. Randolf does not have any idea who their neighbors were. To them, such a thing is not really important. After all, they don’t really stay in this place and are spending most of their time in the US. They only visit this place once they are going to attend an important event or have a business meeting in China or Hong Kong.

Mr. Randolf was aware that people who stay in this place were not to be taken lightly. In fact, this was the initial reason he bought a house in this part of the world. He was planning to retire at a young age and create a beneficial relationship with the billionaires living in this area for his sons and daughters.

"But..."

"It’s alright. We are here to attend Old Man Yu’s birthday next week. We are not here for trouble." He tightened his hand around his spoiled wife’s arms. He wanted to send her a warning to tread carefully. These people bought a three hundred million house. He was sure that these two are somehow influential and are part of the elites in Hong Kong.

Mrs. Randolf pursed her lips. She understood her husband’s thoughts. In fact, this was the reason why she had a sudden change in her attitude. She eyed the couple and silently nodded.

"Okay, since you won’t sell this place then... we won’t disturb you any longer. We really thought that we could buy the house before you. It was nothing but a misunderstanding." Mr. Randolf surely knows how to choose his enemies. He might be arrogant and domineering, but he is not that stupid and clumsy. He smiled before leaving with his wife in tow as he made a mental note to research more about the people living in this community.

"My apologies Mr. and Mrs. Zhou." Miss Ye quickly apologized after the couple left. "This encounter is fairly normal in a neighborhood like this." She smiled.

"Really?" Lily lifted an eyebrow. "Why is that?" They started walking towards the house.

"Well... First, most people here are rich. They think that they can use their money on everything. This place is very expensive, so it made some people think that they are entitled to boss around anyone who is not living in this neighborhood just like agents. Some people would even scare off buyers by trying to intimidate them." She smiled. "Of course, there are those people who are very kind and welcoming too. An example is the Yu family living a few houses away. Those are decent people."

"Every time someone new bought a house in this area, they never fail to send them a welcoming gift! Moreover, Madam Yu is a very kind person who likes to involve herself in the society too." Miss Yu added, a smile plastered on her face.

"Of course, most of them does not really mind their neighbors at all. After all, they were busy and most only stays for a few days before flying out of the country for their businesses.
