Chapter 1014: 020 Win Back Face_2

"The old Graham family, you really know how to let things slide. You don’t even know..."

"Auntie Wu, Auntie Sun, have you been holding a meeting here since early morning?" Avery found a spot to park her car and saw her mother sitting among a group of old ladies with a gloomy face. She knew those old ladies must have said something not pleasant, which agitated her mother, so she walked over with Giselle before Auntie Wu could finish speaking and took over the conversation.

"Oh, Avery and Giselle are back?" Auntie Wu looked at Avery and Giselle, both holding full bags in their hands. Were they coming back to celebrate the festival?

But was the Tomb Sweeping Festival really a time for such a grand celebration?

Auntie Wu pursed her lips. They really must be rich, to buy two boxes of such expensive crabs.

Comparing the daughters and nieces of the Graham family to her two sons who gave her headaches, who would only come to see her during the New Year and were otherwise wrapped around their wives’ little fingers, following wherever their wives and kids went, she couldn’t help feeling envious.

Sometimes, she truly envied the Graham family for having such a filial and capable daughter. Except for getting married late, there really wasn’t any other major flaw.

"Yes, Auntie Wu. Oh, Auntie Wu, you always have the most information in the Residential Area. I want to ask you, how much do you think a square meter would sell for in our neighborhood if we wanted to sell our house now?" Avery was doing this on purpose because her mother had just been insulted here, so she needed to help her mother regain the lost face.

Elderly people don’t really ask for much; they just want their children to stand up for them.

"You’re going to sell your house? The Grahams, how come I didn’t know about this?" Auntie Wu asked Mrs. Graham in surprise.

Actually, Mrs. Graham was also confused, not knowing when they decided to sell the house. If it weren’t for Avery suddenly mentioning it, she really hadn’t thought about moving.

But since her daughter had brought it up, no matter what her daughter was thinking, she had to support her, "Oh, we hadn’t decided before, so we didn’t mention it to you all."

"..." Hearing Mrs. Graham’s response, Avery mentally gave her mother a thumbs-up. The old lady was quite cooperative.

"That house of yours could probably sell for at least two million, with the current property prices. And once it’s listed, it would sell quickly with people fighting over it." Now that Mrs. Graham had said this, Auntie Wu spoke frankly, "Not to pry, but Avery, is there a problem with your Cake Shop that you need to sell the house for some urgent cash?"

That would be the best scenario. It would give them even more to talk about in the future.

"Look at what you’re saying, Auntie Wu. My sister has even opened a branch. How could there be any problems with the Cake Shop? Since the Cake Shop got a very wealthy investor, my sister made a good sum of money. So, she wants to get a villa for my great-aunt and the others. See, it’s the very popular Eshopia Manor that’s hot right now. You must know how much they charged per square meter at the opening, Auntie Wu—you’re always so well-informed, aren’t you?" Giselle explained with a bright smile. The one thing she couldn’t stand when she lived here was Auntie Wu, who always bombarded her with gossipy questions every day, digging into other people’s privacy. She wondered how someone could be like that. Today, without coordinating with Avery, they teamed up to take down the nosy old woman.

Avery didn’t intervene, and the two sisters watched as Auntie Wu and the group of old women behind her, all fond of gossiping about others, inhaled sharply in surprise.

They exchanged glances and then smiled with pursed lips.

What neither of them saw was that Mrs. Graham also inhaled sharply. She actually knew about Eshopia Manor too, having heard many people talk about how wonderful those villas were. If you had the money, you would go for one. But each would cost at least five million, so where would Avery get that much money to buy one?

Even if they sold their current house and added what little money Avery had, it still wouldn’t be enough for one, not to mention the renovation costs. With renovations, it would easily be six or seven million.

Naturally, if you buy a villa, you can’t decorate it as casually as you would a commodity house.

"Avery, you really have something up your sleeve." It took a while for Auntie Wu to gather herself.
