Knowing that the offer price would at least drop by half without Fabian's offer, the resident said languidly, “Just name your price!”
After all, losing a fortune distressed her.
“Hmph!” Looking at the resident, Xavier snorted and walked away as anger welled up in his chest.
He was so arrogant that he would not accept such a voluntary giving from Fabian.
Knowing that anger rose in Xavier like a tide, his assistant, who was standing behind him, cautiously asked, “Mr. Jackson, what about...”
He was afraid that he would offend his boss and have to bear the consequences.
Surprisingly, Xavier turned and gave him a faint
smile. “Yes? I guess Fabian hasn't bought the units above and below Hannah's unit. Help me get these two units. We shall see where else he can stay!”
His assistant responded in a worried tone, “What if... I mean—what if Mr. Norton stays opposite Ms. Young's house? Then, we'll be on the losing side!”
“Oh, that's impossible! He won't buy that house. After all, people with such a status like us won't simply go back on our word, or else we will suffer a loss of credibility. So, I'm sure that he won't stay opposite Hannah's house. Alright, you do as I say!” Xavier said confidently.
He finally realized the reason why Fabian always defeated him. Xavier cared too much about the outcome and failed to suppress his anger, whereas Fabian was completely different and always kept calm.
After he understood that, his anger vanished.
