Independence

Chapter 0156

Jenny flashed a brigh

le as she walked up to Mindy. She linked her arm with Harold’s and said, “Well, look who it is! Fancy running into you here, Mindy.”

Mindy returned the smile. “Hey, Jenny.”

“So, what brings you and Miranda to the sales office? You’re not thinking about buying a place, are you?

“No.” They already bought one yesterday.

“Oh, I see…” Jenny gave her a once–over, but she quickly covered it with a bigger smile. “We’re just here to check out Lakeside Jewel.

“It’s the hottest property around! I heard the high–rise apartments are almost impossible to get–people are even bribing the sales

agents

to snag one!”

“Thankfully, Quincey has connections with a property consultant here, so we managed to secure a unit. We just signed the contract and sealed the deal.”

Jenny’s eyebrows shot up with pride, and her smile widened even more as she caught the surprise on Indy’s face.

Mindy sneered inwardly, “Didn’t expect that, did you? Jealous, right? Too bad you’re not in our league.”

Mindy was indeed surprised, but more because Harold and Jenny were changing homes again. She remembered they’d moved into a new place just three years ago. Why did they want to move again? “Oh. It’s just that the old place felt too small,” Jenny said, almost reading her thoughts. “And the amenities here are on a whole different level.”

Mindy nooded. “So, what are you planning to do with your current place–sell it or rent it out?”

Harold started to answer, “We’re thinking about-”

But Jenny cut him off by pulling him back by the sleeve. She smiled. “We’re not selling or renting it out. We’re not strapped for cash, so why bother? We’ll just keep it as an investment and let it appreciate.”

The Sullivan family had money, and Jenny was used to getting her way. She had the luxury to be this confident.

“Mindy, have you seen the high–rise units here yet?”

Mindy shook her head. “No, I haven’t.”

When Miranda visited the previous day, she was set on looking at the villas, so they didn’t get around to checking out the high–rises before making a decision.

“You’re missing out–they’re gorgeous! All the appliances, like range hoods and heaters, are top–of–the- line, and the layout is lovely. I heard they brought in an international designer just for this project.

“And the landscaping! You should check it out yourself–perfectly manicured lawns, high–quality tracks, dedicated basketball and badminton courts…”

Jenny listed off every detail with pride. “I’m not exaggerating when I say living here will add ten years to your life!”

Harold couldn’t help by winch or that of a shatter

“Not at all You sew it just now Everything paying was agh the front of

self to in us.”

Harold sighed inwardly He didn’t think it was right to go out all this thon of sedyre and Lionel had lived in the same old start averters for decades

They had never once moved. So, talking about their ne punshine familia nuthing salt in the wound

But that was exactly what Jenny wanted Her eyes gleered Windy you guys have been in that traff quarters for over 20 years now, haven’t you? Ever thought about moving?

“You should really consider buying this development project. We could be neighbors–word that be great?”

Jenny paused, feigning thoughtfulness. “But about the price. It might be a bit over your budger, but I’m sure you can make it work.

“Lionel’s a teacher at a prestigious high school, right? He could take on some entrs tutoring gigs and sam a little on the side. The money will come in somehow, it shouldnt be a problemi

Well

Mindy shook her head. The education department is dracking down on ears tutoring Lionel always followed the rules. He never strayed from what’s allowed”

Jenny rolled her eyes. He turned down easy money? How ridiculous!!

“Well, if Lionel can’t pick up extra work, you could! I’ve seen writers make millions from just one book You’ve been writing for years, Mindy. Im sure you’re doing well too.”
