Chapter 56: House Price
Only by trying to bring David and her daughter together could she maximize the benefits the Holtons could enjoy.
Jude’s mother read her sister’s messages, and after mulling it over for a while, she understood her sister’s reasoning.
In truth, their son Jude was the only person in their family who enjoyed any benefits.
If they managed to get their niece and David together, their relationship with David would grow closer and the Holtons could truly live off David’s wealth.
By then, the Holtons could each drive a luxury car back to Shu City with pride.
At this thought, she asked Diana, “Diana! How old is David?”
“Twenty-one, turning twenty-two soon. He’ll be graduating from university next year! My ... my, time sure flies,” Diana replied.
“Does he have a girlfriend?” Jude’s mom asked.
“I’m not too sure about this, though. Ever since he started university, he’s been working part-time during the holidays, so he doesn’t come and visit too often. Even when we call, he doesn’t tell us much about his love life.”
“You know, Diana, my niece and David are around the same age. She’s rather pretty too, and she’s also smart and polite. I can promise you that she’s a good girl, so what do you think about getting them together? That way we’ll be even closer!” Jude’s mom pointed at her niece and said.
Diana was stunned and she looked at the shy girl. For a moment, she did not know how to reply.
“Well ... I think it’s best we let the youths decide things like this themselves. I don’t think this is something we should interfere in. They’ve already met each other, so if they do like each other, I’m sure they won’t need us to step in either,” Diana said after some hesitation.
“How is this interfering, Diana? We’re just seeing if they’re compatible or not! David listens to you, right? Just tell him and let them try it out themselves. If it doesn’t work out, then we won’t force them either. How’s that?” Jude’s mom insisted.
“Uh ... I’ll find a time and tell David about it, then. Whether it works out or not will depend on them, okay?”
Diana had no choice but to agree with her in-laws since it did not seem too good to reject her daughter’s mother-in-law.
“Yes, yes, of course! Just tell David and ask them to exchange contacts. We won’t interfere if it doesn’t work out since this is a matter between the two of them anyway,” Jude’s mother said happily.
Seeing that Diana agreed, Jude’s aunt happily gave her daughter a look that told her not to waste such a great opportunity.
At the same time, Judy and Jude were walking around their new house.
They took pictures of the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, the view outside the window, and the luxurious decoration within the house and posted it on Instagram.
Along with the images was the caption: “Our new home. It feels like a dream,” and the location of South River International Residence.
This stunned the couple’s friends on Instagram. The comment boxes were filled with envy, but there was also an abundance of compliments and people asking if they could come and visit.
Leslie’s family immediately asked Cedric to find out where this South River International Residence was after they saw the post and learned how much the houses there cost. They were all too shocked to say anything after they found out the prices.
South River International Residence was the most expensive housing estate in South River Province.
The units were personally designed by a renowned master overseas while the houses came with luxurious interior decorations.
The cheapest house had a starting price of fifty million.
Leslie’s chest felt like it had been harshly hammered after he saw the price.
His expression was pale, and he did not say a single word. After this, the man locked himself in his room for three days.
Most likely because he could not accept the difference in the ways David treated him and Diana.
He was also David’s uncle. In fact, his DNA might even be closer to David’s than Diana’s DNA was. However, now that David had become wealthy, the treatment he received was also drastically different. All because he decided to turn a blind eye to David back then. He could not regret his past actions more.
...
David felt a little tired when he returned home, so he decided to have a nap. It was already night when he woke up but there had yet to be any updates from Pearl.
David gave it some thought before he directly dialed Pearl’s number. She was spending money too slowly, and it took her too long to discuss the details of an investment.
He needed to rush her a little. He only had a hundred and two luxury points now. That was too far from the amount he needed. The call connected very quickly, and Pearl’s happy voice was heard from the other end.
“Hello, Mr. Lidell!”
“Miss Pearl! How’s it going?” David asked.
“Mr. Lidell, we’re currently negotiating the details of two companies that require our investment. The team is currently investigating the companies’ backgrounds, and the situation seems pretty optimistic right now. I’ll report again once the investigation is over,” Pearl replied.
“How’s it going over at Andy’s side? Have you been in contact yet?”
“We’ve already contacted Mr. Lewis, and we’ll go there once the investigation of the two companies is complete.”
“Progress is a little slow, Miss Pearl. If the team has already been built, then finalize a few investments as soon as possible. As long as the companies are suitable, it doesn’t matter if they’re only offering to sell premium shares. Try to choose companies that have already produced some form of result, and don’t waste time on insignificant companies.”
“If that’s the case, Mr. Lidell, then we might not be able to achieve the biggest profit. I think it would be better to invest in small companies with good potential,” Pearl replied.
David felt slightly despondent when he heard Pearl’s reply. He did not want the biggest profit, he wanted to spend more money.
It was because he had not built his own powers and was not strong enough yet that he was afraid of garnering the attention of powerful people and stirring up trouble by suddenly spending too much money and acquiring too many companies. What he wanted was to purchase and acquire more. He did not care if the company was among the top five hundred or one thousand companies in the world, he just wanted to buy shares. If the company refused to sell shares, then he would just acquire the company.
He needed strength! Strength was what decided the victor. Without strength, he would have to watch his back even when he spent money, and he did not like that feeling.
Moreover, he still did not even know if his system was upgradable.
His current Body and Mind stats had already been maxed out and could not be further upgraded, yet he still did not have enough power.
This is why he needed to confirm if his system could be upgraded as soon as possible, or he would not be able to plan his next step.
His current goal was to save up to one thousand Luxury points and see if the system would give him any pop up notifications, and if his Body and Mind stats could be further enhanced. If they could not, then he would have to change his plans and hide somewhere to develop his powers.
If he could not raise his own strength, then he would have to rely on external forces. If he could further enhance those stats, then his primary goal would be to make himself invincible before worrying about anything else.
Then he would no longer need to fear anything or anyone.
“Miss Pearl! What I need the most right now is results, not frugality! It’s going to take too long to wait for the small company to grow and make a profit. I don’t care how, but you must spend at least fifty billion by the end of this month while keeping a low profile,” David said.
“Huh? Mr. Lidell, I don’t think I heard you. Could you repeat that?” Pearl said after a moment.
Pearl actually heard him, but she just could not believe her ears and wanted to double-check.
“I said spend at least fifty billion by the end of this month on investments, though it would be much better if you could spend a hundred billion. Just keep a low profile and don’t act too conspicuously, understood?” Pearl was dazed on the other end of the line.
She could not believe David asked her to spend at least fifty billion this month. She wondered if David had gone mad. She had never heard of a boss who wanted his employees to spend his money like this.
Most people wanted to earn the biggest profit with the smallest costs-to spend the least amount of money on things with great potential.
She wondered if David just had too much money that he needed to spend, or if the man just disliked money as a whole.
She did not understand the minds of sons of wealthy families. She wondered if there was a different reason behind David’s actions.
“Are you sure, Mr. Lidell? You want me to spend fifty billion? Not five billion? Or five hundred thousand?” Pearl asked again.
