The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67 A Competition

"What a promising young man!" Sharon replied politely.

"Thank you," Jaylee said as she looked up at the building behind them.

"Sharon, isn't this place becoming dangerous? You should consider getting a new house. You can always get a mortgage if you don't have the money. It's not that expensive." Jaylee suggested.

"Yea," Sharon took a deep breath.

Jaylee glanced over at Billy who was playing with Tasha and asked, "Who's he?"

"He's my dad..." Tasha shouted.

"Oh, Harleen's husband?" Jaylee asked Sharon. "Well then, why don't you ask him to pay for your new house? Young people these days can work hard and save up for a down payment."

Without waiting for Fletcher and his family to respond, she continued, "Alright Sharon, let's go. The villa community isn't far from here, we'll be there in no time."

"Jaylee, we have something else to do today. Why don't you guys go check it out yourselves?" Sharon took another deep breath before responding.

"No way! I came here specifically to ask for your help with this matter, you must come with me." Jaylee insisted.

"Oh yeah! We came in Philip's BMW, I'm guessing you guys don't have a car, right? How about taking a taxi? I'll reimburse the fare later." Jaylee turned her head towards the young man beside her and said, "Philip, hurry up and bring your BMW over here."

"Alright!" The man glanced at Harleen and her sister with a smug expression.

"Don't worry about it, Mrs We have a car," Billy said with a faint smile.

"A car?" Jaylee was slightly taken aback. "Is it a van? I'm in a bit of a hurry and I'm worried you won't be able to keep up. Why don't you just take a taxi?"

"Don't worry about us, Mrs Norman. We're not driving a van, you can just lead the way." Felicia said sarcastically. Then she turned to her mother and said, "Mom, let's go together!"

While talking, Philip had already driven his BMW 5 Series over.

"Okay then," Jaylee said as she opened the door to get in the car with them all piled inside. "Just make sure you keep up, Philip's car is pretty fast. Oh, by the way, what kind of car are you driving?"

Billy smiled again as he picked up Tasha and pressed his key twice before a top-of-the-line extended Land Rover sounded off twice from where it was parked nearby.

"That's our ride right there." Felicia cooperatively replied after hearing Jaylee's question earlier on.

"What kind of car is that? I've never seen one like that before, is it some sort of knockoff?" Jaylee asked while looking at their vehicle with scepticism written all over her face.

"Mom! Stop talking now and let's get going!" Phoebe Norman, Jaylee's daughter, pulled her by the arm towards their vehicle while explaining along the way, "That's an extended Land Rover Range Rover, worth five or six BMWs!"

Jaylee remained silent for several seconds before finally blurting out three words, "You rented this?"

Half an hour later they arrived at Royal View Villas, an upscale villa community. After parking the car, the group walked towards the sales office.

"Mr Hayward, you're here!"

As they entered the lobby, a heavily made-up and seductive woman approached them, her eyes conveying suggestive messages to Philip as if she wanted everyone to know that she had something going on with him.

"Madge, hello, my girlfriend, Phoebe and her parents." Philip shuddered at the woman's expression and hurriedly spoke up.
