LittleNovelChapter 75
Matthew and Isabelle booked a cab beforehand. | sat in the front seat while the others were paired up in the
back. Matthew was next to Isabelle, while Lucas was beside Charlotte.
| felt so left out. | couldn't help but curse Matthew in my head.
Suddenly, Charlotte said happily, "That felt so satisfying! Lucas, thank you for standing up for me. I'm grateful
for you."
She leaned against Lucas lovingly, which madequestion if what Matthew had toldearlier was true.
It didn't seem like she didn't like Lucas. There was no way she would be this affectionate if she didn't like him.
Either she lied to the others in the dorm, or she was just good at acting.
Lucas said cheerfully, "That was nothing. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell them you're my girlfriend. | can
guarantee that nobody will dare lay a hand on you."

Pfft. What a show-off. | rolled my eyes and opened the window for sair. | couldn't be bothered to listen to
him brag.
Charlotte replied, "That's why it's important to be cautious when dating. If | ever end up like Lina, dating a guy
who only acts rich, it would be so embarrassing!" What? Why draginto the conversation? I acted like I didn't
hear anything.
Isabelle seemed scared | would get angry, so she quickly stepped in to ease the tension. "You can't entirely
blWilliam for what happened between him and Lina. She cheated on him!"
Charlotte sided with Lina and said, "Her cheating on him and him lying are two different things! If he didn't lie,
she wouldn't have cheated on him!"
No wonder Charlotte and Lina were friends. They were so suited for each other.
Matthew coughed awkwardly. "How about we talk about something else? Have you guys heard that Ed Sheeran
is going to have a concert here? Do you want to go?"
Finally, the topic changed, but I still couldn't be bothered to join the conversation, so | just looked out the
window.
Suddenly, | saw the Pelagos Estates, and it remindedof the talent. | wondered how the conversation between
the HR department and the talent went. If the talent cto work for me, my company would be saved.
"Oh my! Is that the Pelagos Estates?" Charlotte exclaimed. "I heard that it's selling out really quickly."
Lucas replied, "Yeah. The Estates has a good location, great facilities, and a pleasant environment. The only
downside is that it's really expensive, but there are still so many rich people out there to buy them. Apparently,
the most expensive villa was sold today."
Charlotte asked curiously, "The most expensive one? How much is that?"
"20 million dollars."
Everyone in the car gasped at his answer.

"20 million dollars? I'll probably never see that much money in my lifetime!"
"20 million dollars is ridiculous. How luxurious must it be to be this expensive?"
"Charlotte, your family owns a villa too, right? How does it compare with the ones in Pelagos Estates?"
Charlotte boasted in response, "My family doesn't own a villa, but my aunt has one, and so does my cousin! |
always stay over during holidays."
At that moment, the usually quiet driver suddenly spoke up, "Do you know who bought the 20-million-dollar
villa?"
| couldn't help but turn to look at him. "You know?"
The driver looked atand said, "Of course | do! Today | picked up a customer from this area who saw
everything and toldabout it.
"The person who bought the villa didn't even look like a wealthy businessman. In fact, he seemed like a
university student around your age."
"A university student?"
