Chapter 038 This Villa is for Jessica
After they finished the tour, Jessica grew more and more astonished.
Although her family was well-off and ran a restaurant, her parents had started from nothing and worked their way up.
So they were quite frugal, and never extravagant.
Their house was 1,900 square feet, but it was just a regular home.
But this beachfront villa was truly luxurious.
It completely overturned her previous perceptions on wealth.
Even an ordinary walk-in closet was larger than the girls' dormitory at school.
It could be a clothing store!
Among other things, there was also a wall for shoes, a watch cabinet, a belt cabinet, a tie cabinet, a private jewelry cabinet, another wall dedicated to bags, a safe, and much more.
Additionally, the third floor had not only a stargazing room but also an incredibly luxurious study, a 750-square-foot large balcony, and an art studio.
The basement even had a dance studio, a piano room, and a private gym.
If she lived here every day, she would wake up with a smile every morning while enjoying the distant view of the waves, which was utterly refreshing.
"Mr. Smoke, what do you think of this house?"
After introducing all the places, Lena asked with a smile.
"It's just okay. Actually, I'm not very satisfied. This villa is still a bit too small. But for the sake of Mr. Thomas and I being in the same group, ask him to give me a fair price!"
Charles was actually quite satisfied, but he certainly wouldn't say that.
If the seller knew you were very satisfied, they might raise the price.
Buying a villa is just like buying clothes, isn't it?
"Alright, I'll report to Mr. Thomas now!"
Lena walked into the elevator in her high heels.
Even though this villa had only three or four stories, it still had an elevator.
Charles and Jessica stayed on the balcony, enjoying the view.
"Charles, are you really going to buy this villa?"
Jessica said with an astonished face.
"Do you like it? What do you think of the environment here?"
Charles smiled, seemingly not caring about Jessica's surprise.
He just asked if she liked it.
"Of course I like it. Who wouldn't want such a big, beautiful house? But..."
"Then there's nothing more to say. If you like it, I'll buy it!"
Charles interrupted Jessica waving his hand.
He was just worried he had nowhere to spend the Special Funds.
This was a rare opportunity for a large expenditure, how could he pass it up?
'You woman, don't even think about stopping me from spending the Special Funds!'
Jessica: Favorability +5
Jessica: Favorability +5
Jessica: Favorability +5
Charles' words hit Jessica right in the heart.
Just because she liked it, this man was willing to spend millions of dollars to buy the villa.
Although it sounded a bit cliché.
But when it actually happened to her, Jessica was incredibly moved!
And from Charles' words, it seemed he was planning to live together with her after buying the villa.
Was he already building their love nest?
'But, I'm not ready yet, and I haven't agreed to be his girlfriend. How can he be so domineering without asking for my opinion?' Jessica thought shyly.
Although she found Charles domineering, she kinda liked this kind of domineering.

On the other side.
"Lena, is Mr. Smoke satisfied with the villa?" Peter asked with great concern.
"Mr. Smoke seems... not very satisfied. He said the villa is too small!"
Lena reported truthfully.
"Is this small? But thinking about it, it's understandable. Someone of Mr. Smoke's status must be from a top-tier wealthy family. It's normal for him to look down on my small villa!"
"But Mr. Smoke also said, considering you and he are in the same group, he asked you to give him a fair price!"
After a while, Peter came to the third-floor balcony himself.
"Mr. Smoke, what do you think of the view here?" Peter lit a cigarette and offered one to Charles.
"It's not bad. You can just see the ocean!" Charles took the cigarette and lit it.
"By the way, Mr. Smoke, I still don't know your real name!"
"My name is Charles!"
"Charles, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this year's market is really bad, with the entire hotel and tourism industry operating at a loss, and hundreds of employees in the company waiting for me to pay their salaries, I would never sell this villa. But now, if you're willing to take it, I can offer you a fair price, $8.9 million. When I bought this villa, it cost me $8 million. Later, I spent $800,000 on renovations and design. Even without considering the appreciation potential, the market price is over $9 million. $8.9 million is definitely a fair price!"
Peter said almost sincerely.
Of course, Charles could tell there were some exaggeration in his words, but not too far off, given the market price.
You could check it online.
The price fluctuation wouldn't be too big.
"One price, $8.6 million, full payment upfront. Mr. Thomas, if you're willing, I can transfer the money anytime!"
Charles didn't haggle much.
Because real estate has appreciation potential, not like clothes that depreciate and can be bargained down.
Its value is relatively stable.
"Charles, this price is exactly my bottom line. If you can really pay in full at once, then at this price, we can sign the property transfer agreement and handle the transfer procedures anytime!"
Peter nodded and didn't continue to bargain.
"No problem!"
Charles snapped his fingers.
"By the way, this villa will not be transferred to me, but to her. The property deed should have Jessica's name on it!" Charles said calmly.
No way around it.
If the property deed had his name, the Special Funds couldn't be spent.
But if it had Jessica's name, it would be different!
As soon as Charles said this, Jessica was stunned!
She was completely dumbfounded!
She looked at Charles in disbelief.
Feeling a bit breathless!
Peter was also stunned!
Lena was also stunned!
This was... a beachfront villa worth $9 million!
Was Charles actually going to give it to her?
