Chapter 242: The Mistress of the Villa
"Lisa has become so powerful now!" George was shocked. "Even real estate developers want to give her gifts to please her!"
"She only took on a multi-billion project, so all the real estate developers are trying to get close to her," Daniel laughed.
"Multi-billion..." George and Jasmine gasped in disbelief. They couldn't imagine what this multi-billion project meant.
Seeing their expression, Daniel smiled even more.
Today, apart from Noah embarrassing him in front of his relatives, Daniel felt quite proud of himself.
"Lisa, just a few years older than me, I didn't expect her to be so outstanding," Jasmine murmured in shock, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Then she shook her head and said, "God is fair. While she is successful in her career, she has such a failed marriage, marrying someone like Noah! Maybe there is a trade-off after all!"
Now that he had gained face in front of his relatives, Daniel changed the topic.
"George, I heard that you came this time to send Jasmine to the city to work, right?"
"Yes!" George nodded. "The wages in our county are too low, only two to three thousand. So our family discussed it and decided to send Jasmine to the city."
"The wages in the county are not only low, but also there are very few rich people. It's not like Oceanbridge City. On my way here, I saw many luxury cars, BMWs, Audis," Jasmine also spoke up. In her world view, luxury cars were only BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes-Benz.
"There are so many wealthy people in Oceanbridge City. I believe that with my looks and abilities, I can meet my Prince Charming and get married here, settling down in this first-tier city," she said with anticipation in her eyes.
"It's good to have that ambition. But just remember, when looking for a partner, don't choose someone like my son-in-law, Noah," Daniel chuckled.
"By the way, Daniel, there's something I want to ask for your help with," George suddenly said.
"What is it? You can ask. As a guest from far away, I'll definitely help if I can," Daniel generously replied.
George and Jasmine had just arrived in Oceanbridge City and didn't have a place to stay or much money. They couldn't afford to rent a house. George put on a smile and cautiously said, "Daniel, can you fulfill this request?"
"I thought it was a big deal, George. We have such a good relationship, so what's a small request like this?" Daniel waved his hand and said, "Starting from today, you can live here! You don't need to move out and rent a place. You can stay for as long as you want! I still have the final say in this house! Chloe, arrange a room for our guests!"
"Ah! Thank you!"
"Thank you, Daniel!"
Both George and Jasmine were delighted by Daniel's generosity.
"Daniel, you are the most generous!"
George gave Daniel a thumbs up.
Jasmine, full of excitement, walked around the mansion, observing every corner. It was her first time in a mansion, so she naturally felt curious.
Just the thought of living in this multi-million dollar mansion made her tremble with excitement. She couldn't help but take out her phone and take photos of the living room, garden, and swimming pool, posting them on her social media.
"New life, new beginning, Oceanbridge City, here I come."
Jasmine posted a sentence and attached the photos of the mansion.
Soon, there were comments.
"Wow, Jasmine, living in a mansion!"
"Such a rich person, who would have known!"
"What a beautiful mansion!"
"This mansion must cost five to six million!"
Jasmine replied to the comments with a smile, "Oh no, it's not my mansion. It belongs to my relative."
"Your relative's? How long can you stay there?"
"My relative said I can stay for as long as I want, it's just like my own home."
"Envious! You've suddenly become the mistress of a mansion!"
More comments quickly appeared in response to Jasmine's replies:
"I'll come visit you in Oceanbridge City one day. Show me what it's like to live in a mansion!"
"Sure! You're my best friend. You can stay for as long as you want too. There are plenty of empty rooms in this mansion! We can swim and sunbathe on the rooftop."
Jasmine also replied quickly with excitement.
At this moment, her face was filled with a smile, and her vanity was greatly satisfied. She felt like she had become the mistress of the mansion.
During the day, Lisa was not around, only Daniel, the housekeeper, and a useless son-in-law who just happened to be staying in the mansion. What else could she be if not the mistress?
Jasmine replied to each comment, feeling triumphant as she showed off on her social media. It felt as sweet as honey in her heart.
She walked to the rooftop and leaned against the railing, admiring the view of Oceanbridge City.
"It's so beautiful! Standing here, you can almost overlook the entire Oceanbridge City," she exclaimed.
Her gaze flickered and she noticed a young boy lying on a recliner not far away, sunbathing.
It was Noah.
"Noah, what are you doing?" Jasmine walked over and asked.
"Sunbathing," replied Noah, taking a glance at her before looking away, clearly uninterested in talking to her.
Jasmine frowned, "You don't work or make money, you just waste your life away, relying on Lisa to support you. Doesn't your conscience bother you?"
"None of your business," Noah replied bluntly.
"You..." Jasmine's expression changed and anger burned in her eyes as she scorned him, "You are so rude! Daniel was right, I shouldn't consider someone like you as a boyfriend!"
"Being unemployed and lazy is bad enough, but you don't even have basic manners!"
"And what kind of person do you want to find?" Noah smirked.
"With my looks and abilities, of course I would choose a man in Oceanbridge City who has a house, a car, and earns a monthly income of over ten thousand dollars. In any case, someone like you, I would pass on at first sight!" Jasmine huffed, her eyes filled with arrogance.
Noah gazed into the distance and calmly said, "In terms of looks, you're really average. Look in the mirror, see how many acne scars you have on your face. Then step on the weighing scale and see how much you weigh, I'm guessing around 150 pounds."
"At your height of around 5'3" and weighing 150 pounds, I find it hard to understand why a man with a house, a car, and a high income in Oceanbridge City would choose someone like you. There are plenty of girls to choose from! Why you?"
"Noah..." Jasmine grew furious but didn't know how to counter his words.
Noah was right. She did weigh around 150 pounds and her face was filled with acne scars. She wasn't particularly attractive.
"And as for abilities..." Noah continued, scoffing, "What abilities do you have? Did you graduate from college? What's your major?
