The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 45

Chapter 45

At this moment, Halle was also shocked. Her sexy lips opened wide, and she asked Joseph again in

disbelief, “Mr. Dawson, is… is this for real?” Right away, Chloe took the black bank card from Joseph

and handed it to Halle. “Daddy is telling the truth. This morning, Grandma drove away Mommy’s car.

So, you should go and bring the contract now…” Even so, Halle still stared at the black bank card with

doubts. Seeing that, Joseph smiled, “It’s true. You may go and prepare the contract. After this, I can

take Chloe out on a fun trip too…” “Alright. Thank you, Mr. Dawson.” Halle immediately thanked him

and excitedly went to prepare the contract with his bank card. Following that, the two snobbish

saleswomen hurried over and looked at Joseph with a complicated look. “Mr. Dawson… Didn’t you say

you didn’t want to buy a

car?”

Hearing that, Joseph sneered, “Yep, that’s true, but I’ve changed my mind. Any problem with that?”

“Are you kidding us? We served you first!” another snobbish saleswoman complained. At the sight of

Halle swiping the card over there, the saleswoman began to feel blue. With a nod, Joseph replied,

(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) “I know both of you served me first, but did you

pour me a glass of water? Haha… When I said I was not going to buy a car, both of you

ignored me. But when I bought a car, both of you approached me again. How ridiculous! Who do you

think customers are? A bunch of fools? Your cash machine? Get out of my sight!” In the end, he

cursed. Initially, he had no intention to deal with this kind of snobbish behavior. But sometimes, the

more he ignored these snobbish people, the more they would try to get close to him. Hence, even

though he had a good temper, he flipped out… Moreover, the more he didn’t want something to

happen, the more likely it would occur. Just as he went to the car with the car key in a bad mood, he

unexpectedly ran into Lily again. The moment he saw her, he was dumbfounded. After all, he saw her

in this 4S outlet yesterday. Oh my god, was she a virus or something? Having no interest in talking to

her, he walked past her and was about to leave. However, Lily stood in front of him, looked at him, and

sneered, “What’s wrong, rich kid? Are you here to buy a car? I thought you bought it yesterday. Why

are you here again?” When Joseph heard this, he looked at her as if he was looking at a fool. The

next second, Lily pretended to realize something and insulted, “Oh… I forgot. I heard that this morning

Aunt Estella took the car you bought yesterday. Hehe, so I assume you are here to return the car. Well,

don’t even think about it. It’s impossible… Haha… Come on, drop the act. Where is the car? Huh?”

“Are you a moron?” Joseph was pissed off, so despite his self-restraint, he cussed. Upon hearing his

words, Lily got bent out of shape and pointed at him. “How dare you call me a moron? You…” Just

then, the outlet manager personally drove Joseph’s new car—a brand-new Mercedes-Benz S-class-to

the front of Joseph and said respectfully to him, “Mr. Dawson, your new car is ready. Please check it

out. Also, since you’ve bought cars in our outlet for the consecutive two days, you have become our

most honorable customer. If you need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to approach us…”

Joseph looked at Lily and sneered. Then, he pointed at her and responded to the manager, “I don’t

need anything else, but Aunt Lily wants to buy a car. (This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com) So, I will leave her to you…” Upon saying that, he snorted coldly and got in the car

with Chloe. After fastening their seatbelts, he stepped on the accelerator and sped off. When Lily—who

remained where she was-saw him drive away on another new car and recalled him calling her Aunt This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Lily, she immediately flew off the handle. In a fit of anger, she picked up a small flower pot next to her

and threw it at his car. Nevertheless, she missed as he drove fast. “Madam, please don’t make a scene

here, or I will call the security!” when the manager saw Lily go ballistic, he got anxious and shouted.

However, this intensified Lily’s anger, and she yelled at the manager, “Call the security? Go ahead

then! I’m here to buy a car, so that makes me a customer too! Is this how your outlet treats your

customers? Believe it or not, I’ll sit on your car bonnet, protest for my rights, and ask the reporters to

expose your bad doings!!” “Security! Security! Throw this crazy woman out!” the manager directly

instructed. When Lily and Joseph came yesterday, the manager also saw them, and he knew that Lily

was nothing but a fool who relied on her rich boyfriend. As he couldn’t be bothered to deal with this kind

of silly woman, he turned and walked into the shop after calling the security guards. In disbelief, Lily

watched as the two security guards walked toward her and chased her out fiercely. At that moment,

she was about to go crazy from fury. Meanwhile, in Yahir’s house, Yahir was quarreling with Estella—

who had returned after taking Paige’s car. On the other hand, Serena was sitting in a corner. In the

face of her furious father, she dared not interrupt. “Estella, don’t you feel ashamed? How can you

snatch Paige’s car?! Huh?!” Yahir roared at Estella. At this moment, Estella also got enraged and

retorted, “How dare you yell at me? That’s my daughter’s car, so why can’t I drive it? Even that wastrel

said it’s mine, so why the hell are you fussing?” When Yahir heard Estella’s words, he trembled with

rage and slapped her hard on the face, making her stunned. Seeing this, Serena rushed over to stop

him. It took a while for Estella to come to her senses, and she stared at Yahir in disbelief. “Yahir

Mooney… Did you just hit me? How dare you! I’ve been working hard all my life, giving birth to your

children and raising them, and yet, you hit me because of that d*mn car?” “For more than 20 years, I’ve

always wanted a house in Paragon Villa. You also promised me you would buy it, but where is it? Huh?

I guess I was blind enough to believe in you, to let you cheat me for more than 20 years! 20 years! Now

that you’ve slapped me, what’s next? A divorce? I’m so going to kill you…” Instantaneously, Estella

rolled up her sleeves and fought with Yahir. Panicked, Serena hurried to them and tried to stop the

fight. However, in the end, Estella fought with Yahir for more than an hour. After that, Yahir went to the

balcony for a smoke while Estella ran out in tears… “Dad! Why did you hit Mom? I know she was in the

wrong, and her temper was getting worse over the years, but why did you hit her? Why aren’t you

chasing her back? Hurry up and get her! Are you really planning on divorcing her? Huh, Dad?!!” Serena

stomped her feet in fury as she looked at Yahir. When Yahir heard this, his eyes trembled, and his

expression became complicated. After a long time, he let out a deep sigh. “It’s all because I am

useless. Estella has always liked the houses in Paragon Villa. Even if there are better villas out there,

her heart never changes. I know I’ve promised her for years, but I have no money to buy it for her. As

for the car incident, I’m afraid that Joseph will ill-treat Paige in the future because of this. After all the

suffering Paige has gone through, her life is finally becoming better. So, I’m afraid Estella would cause

her trouble. Alas, in the end, it’s all because I’m useless…” At this moment, Serena also felt helpless,

so she could only stamp her feet anxiously. After pondering for a while, she quickly went out to find

Estella. Later, while looking for Estella, she called Joseph and told him what had happened at home.

On the other side, as soon as Joseph hung up Serena’s call, he looked at Chloe and asked, “Do you

think Grandma is a bad person?”

Looking back at Joseph with her big eyes, Chloe responded, “Why did you ask this? Grandma is not a

bad person. She also likes me very much. Last night, she even visited me and gave me a toy she

found on the road. But Daddy, that toy looks very new. Why did Grandma insist that she picked that

up?” “What?” When Joseph heard this, he subconsciously frowned. Estella came to their house last

night! And she even gave Chloe a toy! Here was the thing. When Chloe was born, Joseph was not

there. Besides, Paige didn’t tell her family who Chloe’s father was, so Chloe took the surname Mooney.

In addition, Chloe was also used to treat Estella and Yahir as her paternal grandparents. As the

Dawson family had long kicked Joseph out, he didn’t mind. To him, as long as Chloe could grow up

happily, he would be satisfied. “What’s wrong, Daddy? What did Aunt Serena say just now?” Chloe saw

Joseph frown in silence, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) so she raised her little

head and asked. With a smile, Joseph spoke, “Chloe, since you think that Grandma is good to you,

shall we buy her a house? Aunt Serena just told me that Grandma has always wanted a big house.”

Excitedly, Chloe nodded. “Yes, yes, yes! If Grandma has a big house, she won’t be mad again. So, let’s

go to buy her a house! A big one…” “Sure.” Joseph agreed joyfully. Then, he drove Chloe to Paragon

Villa that Serena inadvertently mentioned. Paragon Villa was a ten-year-old estate. In fact, there were

more high-end villas and housing areas out there. Even so, ten years ago, Paragon Villa was the most

famous estate in Oplen. As it was built on the edge of the river, the scenery there was breathtaking,

and the air was fresh. So, in those days, prominent local families and figures would compete for the

houses there. Now, although Oplen was more developed, many elderly people with high social status

were still living there. Besides, they never thought of moving somewhere else. In short, having a house

here was Estella’s obsession. At 3 p.m. in Paragon Villa, Estella was sitting alone in the pavilion,

staring blankly at her dream houses. On her face, there were traces of tears. Now, the house price here

had increased significantly to millions of dollars, which was more expensive than some other villas.

Knowing about that, Estella thought she might not be able to live here in her whole life, and her wish

would probably become a lifelong regret… And yes, she came here alone after fighting with Yahir this

morning. It seemed that only here could give her peace of mind… Just as she was in a daze, a woman

in her 40s with heavy makeup suddenly came to her side and exclaimed, “Hey, you’re here again!

What’s the matter? Are you here to see the house?”

Hearing this, Estella glanced at that woman, and a trace of disgust emanated from the depth of her

eyes. Estella knew this woman. Her name was Willow Palmer, and she used to live in the same old

neighborhood as Estella. However, after Willow’s son-in-law took out a loan to buy a house here—

which was also the cheapest house in D Zone-Willow moved here. Moreover, she kept boasting around

for the past two years, especially in front of Estella after knowing her thoughts. Every time, Willow

would say, “Oh, it’s nice to stay in Paragon Villa, but it is too quiet here. After all, the people who live

here are people with high status, and I usually don’t have anyone to talk to…” And so on, which was

annoying. At this moment, even though Estella didn’t want to talk to Willow, Willow took the initiative to

start a conversation, “Oh, by the way, I heard your daughter came back with her husband and their

child. What does your son-in-law do? Where are they planning to buy a house? Have they bought a

house? Listen to me. You should ask them to buy a bigger house. The house I’m living in is so small

that it suffocates me. You see, my son-in-law…” As Estella was already in a bad mood, her blood

boiled upon hearing Willow showing off. At once, she turned to Willow and snapped, “Why would you

care whether my daughter buys a house or not? If you think your son-in-law’s house is small, you can

just leave. No one will stop you. Why bother to show off every day?” Hearing that, Willow also got

infuriated and sneered, “How about you? You can’t even afford a house here, and yet you keep

coming. Why don’t you ask your son in-law to buy you one instead? It’s annoying to see you here every

day, pretending to be rich. People who have no idea might think you live in our community. Pooh…”

Furious, Estella’s face went ashen, and her entire body quivered. Pointing at Willow with a trembling

finger, she wanted to retort, but she was wordless with rage. Looking at Estella, Willow scoffed. Just as

she wanted to continue mocking Estella and reached out her hand to put Estella’s finger down, a figure

with a child appeared. They were Joseph and Chloe.(This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com) With a faint smile, Joseph said, “Well, sorry to say this, Madam, but I bought her a

house in A Zone, which is the house in front of you. It’s 130 square feet with three rooms and two halls.

Do you want to go and have a look?” Before this, Joseph and Chloe viewed around the neighborhood

for a long time before they finally chose the best house with the most high-end renovation. Fortunately,

the house was urgently on sale too. Upon seeing Joseph and Chloe, Estella was also surprised. Then,

Chloe waved the property ownership certificate in her hand and chirped, “Grandma, grandma! We’ve

bought you a big house. Take a look at it!” Following that, she handed the certificate to Estella. D In a

trance, Estella stared at the property ownership certificate with her name written on it. Instantly, her

eyes widened in wonder.
