Chapter 102 Could it really be James?
Leonard never expected that Laura would choose to give up this villa.
He hurriedly caught up with her and said helplessly, "Miss Hall, I really can't tell you who bought this villa because I promised the client before, and I must strictly adhere to that!"
"If you don't tell me, then I won't sign this contract!" Laura said calmly.
"Don't you want this villa?" He asked quickly.
"Yeah, I don't even know who gave it to me. Of course, I can't accept it unless you tell me who bought this villa. Otherwise, I won't casually accept things from others!"
Although Laura really wanted to buy this villa now, it didn't mean she could casually accept things from others.
This was what set Laura apart from other girls.
If it were other girls, not to mention a villa, even if it were a car, they would definitely sign the contract without asking anything.
What was more, this was a villa worth fifty million dollars. Even if sold casually, it could fetch thirty or forty million dollars, which was enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime.
But even in the face of such a huge temptation, she still maintained her rationality.
She knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The more expensive the thing, the greater the price to be paid.
So, without knowing who the other party was and why he wanted to give her the villa, Laura would never accept it.
"Miss Hall, I'm just fulfilling the customer's request. Could you please help by signing the contract?"
Leonard looked at her in front of him and pleaded bitterly.
"I've already made it very clear to you. If you don't tell me who gave me this villa, I won't sign it!"
Laura replied calmly, then turned and shouted to Nancy, "Nancy, let's go!"
"Laura, don't be in such a hurry!"
At this moment, Nancy didn't want to leave but instead looked greedily at the contract on the table.
"Nancy, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and come with me!"
She saw Nancy's hesitant look and scolded her with a frown.
"Laura, this is a villa worth fifty million dollars. If you just sign the contract, it will be yours. Are you really planning to leave just like that?" Nancy shouted excitedly at Laura.
"That is impossible, Nancy. Come on, let's go!" Laura said helplessly.
"Laura, I really don't understand what you're thinking. Even if there's no such thing as a free lunch, you can't just say no to a fifty-million-dollar villa!"
Nancy complained, then turned to Leonard and smiled, "Mr. Reed, I'm her cousin. If she doesn't want it, can I have it?"
"No, the person who bought this villa said it could only be given to Miss Hall!"
Leonard shook his head helplessly.
"Nancy, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and come with me!"
Her face turned red with anger when she heard Nancy's words. She quickly pulled Nancy towards the sales office's exit.
"Miss Hall, do you really not want this villa?"
Leonard shouted excitedly.
"Tell the person who bought this villa to contact me directly!" Laura replied calmly, then walked out of the sales office in her high heels.
Nancy followed behind her, looking very helpless, not knowing what to say.
The salesgirls in the sales office all looked at Laura with strange eyes.
They couldn't understand why someone would refuse a free villa worth fifty million dollars. This woman must be out of her mind!
Leonard watched Laura leave and could only sigh helplessly.
Then, he took out his phone and dialed James's number, but it showed that his phone was off!
On the other side, after Laura and Nancy left the sales office, Nancy asked her gloomily, "Laura, why didn't you want that villa? That's fifty million dollars!"
"Nancy, you're still too young. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and no one would give me a villa for no reason!" Laura replied expressionlessly after getting into the car.
Back when Laura's father's company had financial problems, someone said they would help her father, but the price was for Laura to become James's wife.
After that incident, she understood that the easier something was to get, the greater the price to be paid.
"I wonder who bought this villa for you, Laura, and why they don't want their identity revealed. It's really strange!" Nancy said helplessly after seeing that she was determined not to take the villa.
"I don't know either!"
Laura shook her head gently. Actually, she had already gone through all the rich men she knew in her mind. Although many wealthy people pursued her, none of them were so generous.
After all, the guys pursuing Laura were just ordinary rich men. They weren't rich enough to buy a fifty-million-dollar villa for someone, especially for a woman!
"Laura, could it really be James?"
Nancy's eyes widened in surprise.
"Impossible."
She smiled bitterly and didn't believe James could buy this villa.
"Laura, why don't you call James and ask? Maybe he won the lottery and that's why he could buy this villa." Nancy suggested softly.
"This villa is worth fifty million dollars. The lottery jackpot is only five million. James would need to win ten times to buy this villa. Do you think that's possible?" Laura replied coldly.
"Well, maybe he bought ten tickets at once. Just ask him. Besides James, no one else would buy you a villa," Nancy continued.
She hesitated for a moment, then remembered her previous promise to James, so she took out her phone and dialed James's number.
"His phone is off!" A few seconds later, Laura turned to Nancy and said.
"Laura, why don't I ask my friends to find out where James lives? We can go directly to his house and ask him."
Nancy took out her phone and started contacting her friends at the University of Lumina.
After all, James was quite a well-known figure at the University of Lumina, so finding out where he lived wasn't difficult.
Laura saw Nancy trying to find James's address and hesitated for a moment but didn't stop her because Laura was also very curious now whether it was James who bought the villa for her.
