Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 20

Lionel received a call and exclaimed in shock, "THAT HIGH?! Isn't it supposed to be around sixty million?"

"Who won the bid?"

The entire family knew that Lionel was talking about the hillside villa auction after hearing what Lionel said. Everyone turned and looked at Lionel attentively.

"I understand."

Lionel hung up the phone and sighed.

"Dad, what's the transaction price?" Harvey asked eagerly.

"Eighty-nine million," Lionel said.

The figure stunned everyone there, with the old lady unable to keep herself calm. It exceeded the estimated price by more than 20 million, so one could imagine how intense the auction was. Most importantly, the actual value of the villa was simply not worth that kind of money. 89 million had all been spent just for reputation alone.

"Vara was right. It’s a mystery buyer. No one knows who it is," Lionel continued.

Waves began forming within Vara's heart. She made that remark casually but she never expected it to be true!

She was the subject of affection, so if the house really was bought by the mysterious Hannigan family, things would not end up being as simple as a sudden rise in one's status.

"He should show himself as soon as possible," Yara said expectantly. Although she did not know what the other party looked like, with that kind of luxuriance, she could accept him even if he was an ugly monster.

"Grandma, our Sue family really does have a chance to live in Cloudridge Hill Villas. Plus, it’s the most luxurious hillside villa too," Yara said to the old lady.

The old lady was old and her heartbeat sped up exponentially at that point. Despite the identity of the buyer being a mystery, the betrothal gifts had already been sent to the Sue family. It was very good news regardless of which Sue family granddaughter the man fancied.

"I hope he will come forward quickly. I haven't been able to sleep for a long time because of this," the old lady said.

After their meal, Samuel and Yvonne went for a walk i n the back garden of the villa. They kept a distance of one meter and respected each other mutually as a married couple.

"Are you envious?" Samuel asked Yvonne.

Yvonne knew that Samuel was talking about the betrothal gifts. She nodded and said, "I'm human too. 0 f course I'm envious, but there’s no need for that. What

I have now is good enough for me."

Yvonne's frank answer made Samuel smile softly. Samuel would have thought of her as being hypocritical if she said she did not envy it, but Yvonne would certainly not give him that kind of answer.

"Spending eight-nine million just to buy a villa. How much money do these people even earn?" Yvonne asked Samuel curiously.

Samuel thought about it very carefully and said," Perhaps it's just pocket money to him."

Yvonne blinked her eyes speechlessly and was faintly surprised. Might it have been too much of an exaggeration to say that the eighty-nine million was used as pocket money?

"Do you think the person who bought the villa was the one who also sent the betrothal gift?" Yvonne asked.

"Perhaps, after all, the gift was no small amount," Samuel said.

"Looks like Yara will be the one who has the best life i n the Sue family. I wonder how it would be like to marry such a rich man." Yvonne's expression had a dearth of envy and it was purely curiosity on her behalf.

"Do you think it's going to be Yara?" Samuel smiled.
