“I wonder which celebrity Mr. Norton is bringing home this time,” the guard murmured to himself.
The car came to a gentle halt, and an elaborately built villa lay in front of Helen. She was astounded by its grandeur and the power of money.
The chauffeur then opened the door, and two of them stepped out of the car.
Helen followed Fabian as he walked into the villa. Wow! She was blown away by the decor, design, and expansive space. It was poles apart from her house.
“This will be your home from now on,” Fabian spoke calmly as he passed Helen the keys.
Oh dear, how much would it cost if this were a hotel…
“Wait a sec.” Helen finally came back to her senses. “Are you saying that I’ll be staying here, this humongous house, alone for the night?”
He said that I’ll be staying here from now on. What does that mean? Is he giving me the house?
“Why? Are you scared to be alone?” Fabian gave out a smirk
“Hmph! It’s not a big deal.” Helen took the keys and added, “Once Hannah’s fully recovered, I’ll return them to you.”
“Just keep them. You can stay here when you visit Hannah. It’s not too far from her place.”
What!
He’s really giving this villa to me? But Dellmoore’s like a super expensive area, and this place is deceivingly palatial! It must’ve cost a few tens of millions at least, I supposed.
“I think it’s okay. I’d get a good scolding from Hannah if she knew about this,” Helen rejected his kind offer. At the back of her head, she thought that Fabian was too much of a spendthrift. She understood that she was his sister-in-law, but giving her a car and a villa on their first meeting was definitely a little unexpected.
She knew that he was a money-making machine, but little did she know that his spendings knew no bounds. She assumed that he rose to the position of CEO simply because his father owned the company.
“Alright. I’ve had the rooms cleaned. Let’s go get you some clothes,” Fabian said.
Helen paid no heed to his words and went frolicking through all three floors. She had a good time trying out the furniture.
When she came to a bed on the second floor, her eyes glimmered. She took a massive leap and dunk! She started swimming in those soft pink sheets. This is where I’m gonna sleep tonight!
Helen could tell that Fabian had changed the room’s decor and color tone to suit her liking.
Only after she had inspected every single room, she got into the car with Fabian and headed to the mall.
“Oh my, isn’t this Helen?” Helen and Fabian heard a cackle before stepping into the mall.
Fabian located the source of the voice and started to check the person out.
The woman looked somewhat of Helen’s age. She was in a short black dress with lace trimmings that showed off her beguiling silhouette, and her silver heels accentuated her womanly grace. What turned Fabian off was her stagy make-up.
Helen’s face was as dark as coal, and her fingers unconsciously curled into a tight fist.
She knew her perfectly well. That woman was the one scoffing at her over the phone just now.
She was Howard’s new girlfriend, Shania Wandrie.
“Let’s go.” Helen didn’t want to quarrel with her in front of Fabian, thinking it might affect how he would think of Hannah.
She had no clue that Hannah’s strong and tough character was exactly what drew Fabian to her.
“Hey, Helen. You’ve just got here, and you’re leaving now? Before you even start shopping? What’s the rush?” Shania found pleasure in the fact that Helen was trying to evade her. But this evil woman wanted to crush her dignity.
