Chapter 114 Birthday Party
There were about twenty or thirty classmates, all looking bewildered.
Unbelievable!
"Oh my God, this is the Number One Garden Villa. With the housing prices here, this place must be worth ten million dollars."
"With this scale and decoration, I think it's worth even more!"
"Ms. Lewis, are you sure this villa is yours? My dad brought me to see the seaside villa community when it first opened. I heard that Villa Number One was bought by a guy named Mr. Thomas. He's like thirty-four, right?"
Jessica hadn't spoken yet when a girl dressed in flashy, name-brand clothes and sporting an arrogant expression casually revealed all this information.
Her name was Lilianna Rogers, head of the student council's publicity department. She competed with Jessica for the vice president position half a year ago.
Since then, she held a grudge against Jessica for losing by one vote.
The student council was also a battlefield. Where there were people, there was competition.
She came to Jessica's birthday party just to cause trouble. Judging by her attire, it wasn't hard to see that she liked to show off too.
Often, not only men liked to show off, but women did too!
What she just said was extremely malicious. She actually pointed out in front of everyone that this villa belonged to Mr. Thomas, who was almost forty years old?
Wasn't that the same as telling everyone that Jessica was being kept by a forty-year-old man?
"You...?"
"Lilianna, what do you mean by that? Do you think I would lie to you?" Sarah looked furious.
Jessica's expression also looked a bit unpleasant.
"Lilianna is right, my dad also knows this Mr. Thomas. When Mr. Thomas celebrated his daughter's birthday here, I was lucky enough to attend. His daughter is twelve years old now, right?" said Craig White, Lilianna's boyfriend, whose family also had some money, standing next to Lilianna with a smirk on his face.
He had pursued Jessica for six months, but Jessica never paid much attention to him. Craig then gave up and turned to pursue Lilianna. Although he succeeded, he still liked Jessica, but with a bit of resentment.
This was love turning into hate! Since he couldn't have her, he wanted to destroy her!
Craig's words made all the classmates look at Jessica differently, especially the boys who almost had a crush on Jessica, feeling heartbroken.
Now they found out that their goddess was being kept by a forty-year-old man? And this man had a twelve-year-old daughter? Unacceptable!
With Jessica's qualities, she could find any boyfriend she wanted, why would she stoop so low?
The dignified vice president of the student council, the second-ranked Prom Queen of Lacus Magnus University, was also a woman who loved vanity?
At this moment, Sarah stormed into the villa and came back with a property deed.
"Take a look for yourselves. See whose name is on this property deed!" She threw the deed open on the table.
The room fell silent!
When everyone saw the name on the deed, their faces stiffened, especially Lilianna, who felt humiliated.
"This really is Jessica's villa, and it only has her name on it. My God, Jessica actually bought a ten-million-dollar villa?"
A younger girl exclaimed, "I know Mr. Thomas. Due to the poor market conditions recently and significant business losses, he sold this villa. Any more questions?"
Jessica smiled slightly, admitting the villa used to belong to Mr. Thomas but explaining it had been sold.
"Impressive, Ms. Lewis! You haven't even graduated from college and you bought a villa in a seaside community. That's amazing!"
"I heard Jessica's family is already wealthy, and she also does live streaming. She has millions of followers, and among them are two super-rich fans, Mr. Smoke and TomatoCharmoisseur. Together, they've given her millions in gifts!"
"I've heard of Mr. Smoke, but who is this TomatoCharmoisseur?"
"TomatoCharmoisseur is also an Ultra-rich Patron. Last night, he gave Jessica five million dollars in gifts!" the younger girl squealed excitedly.
The younger girl seemed to be a fan of Jessica, having watched her live stream last night. This was something Jessica hadn't expected. After all, she had never promoted her live streaming among her classmates and friends.
"Jessica also streams on TikTok? It seems the live streaming industry is really booming lately!"
"Aren't you guys getting off-topic? Today is Jessica's birthday, let's not talk about all this other stuff. Have you all prepared your gifts?"
"Of course, we have, but they're just small gifts. I hope Jessica doesn't mind!"
A group of boys and girls surrounded Jessica, starting to flatter and please her.
Lilianna's expression turned dark. Craig's expression didn't look too pleasant either. Unknowingly, they had been ostracized by the group. Seeing Jessica in the limelight, Lilianna was exploding with anger.
At this birthday party, Jessica had invited not only her college classmates but also her high school classmates and some childhood friends. Most of the attendees were girls. Jessica had a wide social circle. It was only a little after four o'clock, and more than thirty classmates had already arrived, with many more yet to come.
Besides the people Jessica invited, some people came uninvited, including Jessica's admirers!
Around 4:50, Charles drove into the seaside villa community. He parked by the roadside, walking with a teddy bear from the car towards the Number One Garden Villa. The reason he didn't drive into the Number One Villa area was that there were too many classmates from Lacus Magnus University today. It was better to keep a low profile.
As he was walking with the teddy bear into the Number One Villa area, a familiar Ferrari 488 drove up, parking in the Number One Villa's parking spot.
"Wow! It's a Ferrari 488!"
"I heard this series of luxury cars costs up to six hundred thousand dollars. Only truly wealthy people can afford it!"
"Isn't that Mr. Mike? Two years ago, Mr. Mike was a prominent figure at our school. I heard he took over the family business after graduation. Now, at just twenty-five, he's already the general manager of a big company!"
"Even if I worked hard for twenty years, I still wouldn't become a general manager. As soon as Mike graduated, he immediately surpassed my twenty years of effort. Why isn't my dad Mr. Smoke?"
Charles was so shocked by what a boy with glasses said in front of him that he fell to the ground.
