In the living room, Christopher Easton and others were discussing the upcoming 15th with Michael Easton.They were eager to see the new house for themselves.If the house turned out to be lavish, they'd have another reason to speak ill of Daphne Easton in front of the matriarch. If it was mediocre, they could use the opportunity to mock her.Margaret Easton's biggest worry was the Easton family finding out about the house.Her plan involved renting a place to fool Jasper Morrow, hoping to barely get by and then minimize contact to avoid being exposed.But if the Eastons knew, the scheme would become more complicated, and being exposed was only a matter of time.Then, the embarrassment of pretending to be more affluent than she was would be unbearable.The news hadn't leaked from Isaiah Lowell, but somehow, everything seemed to stem from him, making Margaret wish she could kick him out right then."Michael, you're not seriously planning to leav

On the 15th, all of Jasper Morrow's classmates gathered downstairs at his new place."What's Michael Easton up to, making us all wait here for nothing?""Could his new place be in the same complex as Jasper's?""It's very likely. Why else would he ask us to come here?"Jasper Morrow was grinding his teeth in frustration. Of all places, why did Michael Easton have to buy a house in his complex? This was like a direct blow to his pride.If he said anything bad about his own house, wouldn't that be demeaning himself as well?However, the truth was still unclear, and Morrow didn't think Michael Easton could afford a house here.The Easton Family might be wealthy, but Michael was known as the family's least useful member, just like his useless son-in-law, with no real standing in the company. How could he possibly afford a house here?"Maybe he's just bluffing. How could he afford a house here?" Jasper said coldly.David Morrow was there, arm

Margaret Easton's mood was soaring, her smugness barely containable. She didn't care how this hillside villa came to be; all that mattered was gaining prestige in front of the Easton family relatives and Jasper Morrow's old classmates.Seeing the expressions on Michael Easton, Jasper Morrow, and others, Margaret's smile deepened, enjoying the moment thoroughly."What are you all waiting for? Come on in and check out my new home," Margaret said, emphasizing "my" and adding a boastful tone to her invitation.Jasper Morrow, though reluctant, was curious about what an eighty-million-dollar villa looked like. Despite knowing it would be embarrassing, he was eager to take a look inside.The Easton family relatives felt similarly. A hillside villa was a dream beyond reach, and now they had the chance to see one up close. Who would want to miss such an opportunity?Thomas Easton and Amelia Easton were the last to enter."Thomas, what's going on? How could Daphn

Reaching the hillside, the matriarch instructed Isaiah Lowell to set her down. She looked at the luxurious villa before her with excited eyes. Cresthaven City's hillside represented status and position, and she had always thought she would only ever get as far as the foot of the hill with the Easton family. Yet here she was, qualifying for the hillside."The patriarch, I don't know whether to blame you or thank you. Without you, I would never have made it here, but why did you leave the money to Michael Easton?" Even in Daphne Easton's presence, the matriarch didn't hesitate to express her disdain, making it clear that Michael's family held no status in her heart.Daphne, clearly upset, glanced at Isaiah Lowell, her expression a mix of defiance and resignation.Upon the matriarch's entry into the villa, the noisy chatter in the living room fell silent, and all the Easton family relatives stood up from the sofa.Thomas Easton was the quickest to approach, expressi
