Simon had never been someone good at arguing. He had found Mrs. Levin very noisy when she came in, so he had turned up the TV's volume and made it very loud.
The financial news channel was currently reporting the latest news:"... new regulations have been announced... to control housing prices... inelastic housing prices..."
These phrases made their way faintly into the few people's ears.
Everyone's heads turned as one toward the TV and they watched the news report seriously. However, all they caught was just the last few words:"... brought to you by this channel."
Mrs. Levin was dumbfounded. "What did they say just now?"
Although Melissa had already known about it a long time ago, she was nevertheless still a little surprised when she actually heard the announcement.
Why had the policy been announced so quickly?
By right, word would always vaguely get out prior to any announcements. However, they hadn't heard anything at all this time.
As expected of the man at the top of the world, indeed. To think Justin had actually received the news so early!
However, this was no time for her to be shocked. Melissa looked at Mrs. Levin and smiled. "Didn't you hear just now? They are going to control housing prices now! The real estate industry is not going to be lucrative anymore..."
Mrs. Levin's eyes widened in horror.
Melissa's lip corners curled upward.
"Sigh, Nora is such a lucky star. If she hadn't kicked up a fuss and stopped us from investing, I might have just invested $3,000,000 into it! Speaking of which, it's also thanks to the fuss that Nora kicked up, that my elder brother didn't invest in real estate!"
She put on a show of gratitude and held Nora's hand.
She said, "Nora, come to think of it, it's rather strange but the Andersons have really received a new lease of life and been revitalized ever since you came! No matter what we encounter, everything always turned out fine in the end. You're really a lucky star! It's your future husband's honor to be able to marry you!"
Mrs. Levin felt like she had been given a tight slap across the cheek when she thought of how she had called Nora a jinx just now.
Although wealthy families weren't superstitious, they did believe in destiny. For example, some people brought luck to their husbands, some people brought luck to their wives; some people were lucky, and some people were unlucky...
Because of Miranda, everyone in the circle now knew about the incident. Originally, everyone had been calling Nora a jinx who brought chaos to the family the moment she came, but Melissa's statement had completely reversed the situation now.
After deliberately saying that, Melissa raised her chin and looked at Mrs. Levin. She feigned surprise and
exclaimed, "Eh? Why are you still here, Mrs. Levin?"
Mrs. Levin,"!"
Her visit to propose marriage today was actually a deliberate move by Jon and herself.
Otherwise, with the way she had gone about it, what was the difference between that and asking for a fight?
Jon's intention was to have her utterly demean Nora so that the Andersons would take the initiative to offer the Carefree Pill as a wedding gift when they got married later.
Although he had envisioned a lot of different scenarios, he hadn't seen this coming at all!
Mrs. Levin left with her tail in between her legs, following which she called Jon and explained the situation. After thinking about it carefully, Jon actually felt that Melissa was right.
Wasn't it exactly after she had returned that the Andersons produced the Carefree Pill?
The Andersons had originally already been completely suppressed in the pharmaceutical industry, but thanks to the Carefree Pill, they were gradually expanding now!
If they could get Ms. Smith to marry into the Myerses, they might just prosper, too!
With that in mind, he looked at Winston and said to Mrs. Levin over the phone, "How about this? Pay them another visit and..."
At the Andersons.
