The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 137

Next, Evelyn and Astrid took over the documents and had a careful look. Seeing their names on it, they were surprised and delighted. It took them a few minutes to snap out of it.

Then Thalassa was the first one to cool down. She stuffed the file bag and keys into the young man's hands. "What's going on here? Why did you guys turn our old house into a villa? What's your game? This villa isn't our doing, so we're not living here. Give us back our old house."

There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If it was not theirs, they were not taking it. Thalassa had always been a stickler for fairness; she was not one to accept handouts without a reason.

The young man explained with a pre-prepared speech, "This is a project our boss is developing in the countryside. He plans to build a villa for people to test and live in, if they're satisfied, he'll develop throughout the village."

Thalassa asked in surprise, "So our family was the chosen one?"

The young man nodded his head repeatedly.

"Why choose our family?" Thalassa found this a bit unusual.

The young man replied, "Because your house is the most rundown, easiest to tear down." That was what his boss had instructed him.

Thalassa fell silent. She turned to look at Evelyn and Astrid who were equally shocked and disbelieving.

Though it was a bitter pill to swallow, it was the truth. In the whole village, their house was indeed the most rundown. Everyone else had built modern houses, using sturdy and comfortable materials, while their house was an old adobe house,so tearing it down was indeed the simplest.
