Chapter 206 Rear-Ended.
Grandma Johnson was about to get into the car when she saw those five people running over. She stopped, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She asked impatiently, "Why are you all here?"
Karen hurriedly stepped forward and responded, "Mom. You promised to let us attend the housewarming banquet, so we came over."
Grandma Johnson frowned. "I did agree to let you attend the housewarming banquet, but you should go directly to the Platan Heights Villa and wait at the entrance for us. After we finish touring the city, we can all go in together."
The underlying meaning of this statement was obvious - she didn't want Karen and the others to show off by riding in the Rolls-Royces and parading around the city.
Karen felt surprised when she heard that.
You see, she had been dreaming of enjoying the limelight at the housewarming banquet for the past few days.
She planned to take pictures and post them on social media so her poor relatives from the countryside would envy her.
After all, the incident of Ernest's "affair" a few days ago had caused her reputation to suffer a great deal.
She desperately needed an opportunity to rebuild her reputation.
Therefore, Karen gathered her courage and tried to negotiate. "Mom. Since we’re already here, it would be boring to just wait at the Platan Heights Villa. Why don't you let us go with you? Besides, I promised to help you with that other thing."
Grandma Johnson narrowed her eyes slightly and calmly said, "You have a point. However, Andy only hired three Rolls-Royces today, and there are no extra seats available. If you really want to take a turn around the city, you can drive your own car and follow behind us."
Karen was shocked.
Everyone else would be riding in the front in the Rolls-Royces, but they were being asked to drive their own car and follow behind them.
She planned to continue negotiating, but Grandma Johnson spoke first and said, "If you don't want to do that, just go straight to the Platan Heights villa. This is a good day, you’d better not give me any trouble."
After saying that, Grandma Johnson, assisted by Matthew, got into the forward Rolls Royce.
The other core members of the Johnson family all got into the other two Rolls Royce cars.
Matthew's wife, Macy, rolled down the car window and sarcastically said to Karen, "Oh, look at that. This really is a Rolls Royce. It's so comfortable to sit in. When Ernest is driving later, you should sit in the passenger seat so you can have a clearer view of the back of the Rolls Royce."
Matthew's wife, Aurora, mocked Karen along with her. "What do you know? She’s just being modest and humble. She's overly modest in everything she does, after all. Look, just a few days ago, she was being so modest that she started investigating infidelity at a hotel."
They closed the car window after laughing.
The three Rolls Royce cars slowly started and left from the entrance of the Johnson family's old house.
At that moment, Karen was very angry.
She cursed Grandma Johnson in her heart. ‘Why doesn't that old jerk just die? She uses us and doesn't care about is.’
But what else could she do? After all, the initiative was in their hands.
She had to endure this humiliation in order to enjoy a meal at the Platan Heights villa,.
Turning around, she scolded Ernest, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring the car over; follow the main group."
"Oh," Ernest responded and quickly went to get the car.
Dominic looked disappointed and asked Karen, "Why aren't we allowed to ride in the Rolls Royce? The old lady had three sons. Why are those other two families riding with her? Could it be that you and your husband have a special position in the Johnson family?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Karen interrupted him. "What do you know? Ernest has to set an example for everyone as the eldest son of the Johnson family. This trivial matter don't matter to the two younger brothers. When it comes to really important business, the Johnson family still relies on me and him to have the final say. You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it, but if you just follow along, you'll definitely have a good meal."
Dominic seemed to understand and nodded.
When his son Marlon heard that they would have a good meal, saliva began to flow uncontrollably down his mouth.
With a silly smile on his face, he said to Karen, "Hey Aunt, I want to eat some chicken; I can eat ten pieces."
Three Rolls-Royces decorated with flowers and ribbons were driving slowly down a main road in the city area of Houston.
There was a camera car in front of the Rolls-Royces.
It was recording everything on the road.
Grandma Johnson, Matthew, and Andy were sitting in the first Rolls-Royce.
Grandma Johnson enjoyed the soft car seat and squinted her eyes slightly, saying, "The Johnson family is moving into the Platan Heights villa. After a while, we should also upgrade our means of transportation. In my opinion, this Rolls-Royce is not bad."
Matthew smiled and said, "You have a point, Mom. A luxury car matches a prestigious family. Although this Rolls-Royce is not the top of the line, it costs at least one million. It's not a small amount."
Andy proudly said, "You can rest assured, Dad. The publicity for our housewarming banquet was amazingly done. I think 50 tables won’t be enough for the banquet today. We might have to add more tables. The total gift money we receive could easily reach 4 million. It’ll be more than enough to buy a Rolls-Royce."
Grandma Johnson pulled Andy's hand and doted on him, saying, "You’re becoming more and more outstanding. Watch my words. After this successful housewarming banquet, you’ll probably be in control of the Johnson family in the future. After all, I'm getting old and can't handle all the stress."
"Thank you, Grandma," Andy said excitedly.
A touch of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
He started thinking that he would have his revenge against Ryder and Sarah when he took control of the Johnson family.
He wanted to make them understand the consequences of challenging him.
At this time, Dominic's Volkswagen sedan was trailing behind the three Rolls-Royces.
Dominic was sitting in the driver's seat.
Dominic was driving because he wanted to experience the difference between a Volkswagen sedan and the tractor from his hometown, so he wanted to try it out.
And Karen had promised Dominic that if he successfully got Sarah and Ryder divorced, she would buy him a car.
He wanted to experience driving a car in advance.
At first, Ernest disagreed, worried that something might happen to Dominic.
But Dominic reassured him of his driving skills, boasting confidently, and since Karen was backing him up, Ernest had no choice but to keep quiet.
Dominic drove with a satisfied smile on his face, showing off to Ernest. "My driving skills are pretty good, right? I told you there was nothing to worry about, but you just didn't believe me."
Ernest didn't reply.
His wife, Ruth Reed, praised him, "You're really good; when we finally buy a car, you can take me out for a drive every day."
"Absolutely," Dominic replied proudly. "Watch me demonstrate the feeling of acceleration to you."
He stepped on the gas pedal.
The car suddenly accelerated.
Just then, the traffic light at the intersection ahead turned red.
The Rolls-Royce came to a stop.
Ernest's face changed drastically when he saw the traffic light, and he quickly shouted, "Hit the brakes! Don't crash into them!"
"Oh, shit... where's the brake? I..."
Dominic immediately panicked.
It was too late when he finally found the brake.
