Chapter 116
Calista used to be suspicious of Oliver’s ability to earn money, but now she basically had no doubt.
She believed that Oliver could earn a few million dollars at a time. Recently, Fabian managed the company in an orderly manner. Calista and her family also went to visit and check on the company almost every day.
As it was Oliver’s company, she was one of the most important people inside. Thus, everyone respected her very much.
Fabian had already informed her all about the company details. She knew that Oliver had directly bought the property right for a few million dollars. Her family owned such a big company, and they also owned the house. Thus, it was impossible for her to be unhappy.
Now that Oliver had come back, she agreed with what Fabian had said about the business. After all, she was worried because such a huge company needed to spend a lot of money every day. Moreover, she heard that Oliver could earn millions of dollars just from a trip. Thus, she would not stop him from going to the place. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
While she was talking, her phone rang. She answered the call after glancing at it. After talking to the person on the phone for a short while, she hung up and said to Oliver, “Oliver, your Aunt Candice is here. Follow me to pick them up.”
Oliver was slightly disgusted when he heard that his aunt was coming. He frowned, but at the sight of Calista’s excited expression, he stopped himself from saying anything.
They chatted as they walked out. Calista smoothed her hair and reminded Oliver, “Don’t make that grim face when your Aunt Candice is here later. After all, she’s still your aunt and my sister. Also, don’t
mention the past anymore. After all, your father is well now. Moreover, our family is in good condition. Even though she is not close to you, we’re still a family.”
Oliver frowned again.
After they walked out of the entrance of the mansion, Calista looked outside as she stood on the walkway. When she did not see anyone, she beckoned Oliver to walk with her toward the entrance of the residential area as she made a call.
Even though they had not arrived at the gate of the residential area, Oliver already saw several people looking around from a distance.
Upon seeing their actions, he recognized them immediately. They were his aunt, Candice Clark, and Candice’s husband, Tony Clark. Moreover, his cousin, Joseph Clark was there as well.
Calista waved and shouted, “Here. We’re here.”
Upon seeing her, Candice hurriedly came over. When she was almost in front of Calista, Candice gasped and said, “Calista, when did you move to this residential area? Why have I never heard you mention it? You didn’t even inform me about it…”
When they got closer, Tony also lowered his voice and asked Calista, “Calista, I heard that the houses here are not cheap. Did you rent it?”
At the same time, Joseph also tutted as he looked around. “The environment here is really good. One will feel that they are important people once they come in. Oliver, are you renting a house at the high- rise building over there? Where did you get the money to rent this type of house? Isn’t the rent over 2,000 dollars a month?”
Calista said with a smile, “We didn’t rent the house. It was bought by Oliver, and it’s not situated in the high-rise building over there. It’s a stand-alone mansion here.”
As Calista spoke, she pointed to the mansion in front of them and said, “Come, let’s go there.”
“Did Oliver buy it himself? Is it a mansion?” Candice and her family were so surprised that their mouth was wide open.
Then, Tony stared at Oliver and asked, “Oliver, do you know how much the house here costs per square foot? The mansion is even more expensive You can’t get one if you don’t have money over 2 million dollars. Are you bragging?”
Oliver wanted to downplay it, so he said, “Well, you can just think that I’m bragging!”
Tony was stumped and could not speak.
Meanwhile, Calista took Candice to the mansion excitedly. When they approached it, they entered through the main courtyard gate of the mansion.
Candice and her family were wide-eyed and bewildered. When they looked around, they were more shocked.
Tony glanced at several Rolls-Royces and a Mercedes-Benz in the courtyard. Then, he asked Oliver in an envious whisper, “Oliver, have you really associated yourselves with a big boss? Just one glance at the cars, and I know that they are high-end cars. Are they expensive? Is there a big boss coming to visit you?”
After that, Tony smiled and whispered, “Oliver, I have much more experience in doing business than you do. If you know such a big boss, let me know so that I can be the first one to deal with him. I’m the
most experienced when dealing with such a big boss, and I guarantee I won’t make you embarrassed…”
Oliver said lightly, “There are no big bosses as guests here, only a few subordinates of my company. These cars are not owned by others as well. They are all mine.”
Tony chuckled and said, “You are, after all, someone who cares about your reputation. Do you think I don’t know your background? Moreover, did you pay a lot to rent the company I saw in the plaza that day? Was it a lie to trick the bosses coming from other cities?”
Oliver smiled without answering his question.
Thus, Tony added, “This Mercedes-Benz is so cool. Doesn’t it cost 100 thousand dollars or so? And these cars, each one costs around 60 thousand dollars or so, right?”
Oliver could not help laughing. “This Mercedes-Benz is worth more than 600 thousand dollars. Meanwhile, the other cars are called Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Each costs nearly 2 million dollars. Did you say it costs around 60 thousand dollars or so each? No one will even allow you to touch it.”
“Does it cost nearly 2 million dollars?” Tony was startled. Then, he mused to himself, “There are three identical cars here. Wouldn’t that be 6 million dollars?”
“Oliver, I’m sure these cars cost over 2,000 dollars to rent for a day. Thus, you need me even more now. Take me to meet those big bosses. If you continue to rent the cars for another day, you will lose even more money. Besides, you need a lot of money to rent this huge mansion, right?”
“The huge mansion is probably rented for one entire month,” he added inwardly.
Oliver smiled again and did not answer Tony.
Thus, Tony was even more confident. He believed that Oliver just rented the cars and the mansion to make himself look good and to trick the big bosses who came from other cities.
As Tony had found such an opportunity, he would definitely not let it go. After all, he wanted to earn a profit from it.
Calista pulled Candice to walk ahead of them. Then, the former asked Candice to sit on the couch in the living room.
Candice and her family were completely shocked when they entered the living room.
After that, Calista beckoned Joanna to pour coffee. Although Joanna’s expression was cold, she still brought some beverages
for them.
It so happened that Tony glanced at Fabian, Wayne, and Simon. Tony then hurriedly stepped forward to introduce himself enthusiastically. “Hello, gentlemen. I’m Oliver’s uncle, and we’re a family. I’m also a businessman. I hope I can cooperate with you.”
Fabian was stunned. “Do you want to cooperate with us? But we’re not the bosses. He’s our boss.”
Then, Fabian pointed at Oliver and spoke to Tony politely. Tony was Oliver’s uncle, so Fabian understood that he should be polite.
Tony was also stunned. “Is Oliver your boss? So… the bosses who drive those luxury cars haven’t arrived yet?”
Fabian said confusedly, “The big bosses who drive those luxury cars outside? Are there such big bosses? The cars outside are all owned by Mr. Eastwood. No other people’s car is there.”
Thus, Tony immediately nodded and acted as if he understood it. “I understand. Since you’re invited by Oliver to pretend as well, we are on the same side. The cars and house are rented. Of course, this matter must be kept confidential.”
Upon hearing his remark, Fabian felt strange and confused. “What’s the matter with Mr. Eastwood’s relatives?” he wondered.
Joanna, who was at the side, interrupted coldly, “We’re not as vain as you are. Thus, we don’t need to rent a house or cars just to keep up appearances. Oliver bought this house and the cars. Do you want me to show you the property deed and vehicle ownership certificates?”
