“Rich?”
“How rich is he?”
Emery thought Jacob didn’t seem like a particularly wealthy person. Moreover, his daughter and her child were in the same kindergarten; if he were really a big tycoon, how could his child attend such an ordinary kindergarten?
“Do you know Mimia Bay?”
“Of course I do!”
Emery nodded: “It’s the top luxury residence in Coastville. I heard the cheapest houses there cost around twenty million!”
“Mr. Deby has a 688-square-meter house in Mimia Bay.”
“So, is he considered rich??” Josie retorted.
“Ah????”
“Mimia Bay, 688 square meters!!”
Emery was directly shocked, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. Then she said seriously: “Josie, being a stepmother isn’t so bad!”
Emery was someone who had been through it all, and she no longer held any illusions about love and romance.
When you’re young, it’s easy to be infatuated, to experience the pain that love can bring.
But if you still have that infatuation at her age, you can only describe it in two words: foolish.
When you’re young, you think love is the most important thing, that money will come eventually!
But as you grow older, you realize that love can easily fade away, while making money is truly difficult! All the initial beauty gets worn down by the trivialities of life. Therefore, economic foundation determines the superstructure! Relationships that don’t discuss money are just castles in the air.
No matter how passionate a love may be, it will eventually settle down, returning to the mundane realities of life.
So, is money important or is love important? Actually, both are quite important! But if Emery had to choose one, she would choose money!
Because love can’t be eaten, and it’s not truly lasting.
Today’s young people understand this more and more, which is why many are focused solely on making money. They can have partners, but they don’t talk about feelings! That stuff is too ephemeral!
From Emery’s perspective, if her sister-in-law could really hook up with a wealthy man living in Mimia Bay, perhaps their family would benefit quite a bit.
If it weren’t for her own limited circumstances, she would want to give it a shot.
On the other side.
Jacob took Lara and Macy to a barbecue restaurant for lunch.
But since Jacob was on a fat-reduction diet, he only had a small piece of grilled steak, while Macy, the little foodie, was showing off with grease all over her mouth. Lara also ate quite a bit, but she was more reserved and ate elegantly.
After the meal, Macy insisted on going to her aunt’s house to play, and since Jacob had to fix the range hood, he handed Macy over to Lara.
After dropping them off at Zoko Community, Jacob asked for Vienna’s latest address and then drove over.
It was a community called Hoston Ville, not too far from Smartday Holdings. The environments of the two communities were similar, both considered mid to high-end in Coastville.
“Vienna, open the door.”
“I’m here to fix the range hood!”
At the door, Jacob knocked while speaking.
The next moment, the door opened.
As soon as Jacob entered, Vienna quickly closed the door behind him and locked it.
This beautiful young woman was wearing the light cream-colored bodycon dress she had worn before. The dress was made of wool, providing some warmth, but the chest area was hollowed out, a clever design.
The dress was very fitted; although this beautiful young woman had a slight bulge in her lower abdomen, her waist was slender, and most of the fat had settled where it should. A moment of wisdom.
Jacob took a look around Vienna’s new home.
It was a small three-bedroom apartment, about 110 square meters.
“Vienna, you didn’t need to rent a three-bedroom apartment, did you?” Jacob asked with some suspicion.
“One of the rooms is for my sister. She’s my uncle’s child, studying in another city. She just got accepted into Coastville University’s graduate program and will come to Coastville in September. She can occasionally stay here to help tutor Selena,” Vienna explained.
“Oh, I see!”
“Coastville University graduate program, impressive!”
Jacob exclaimed, then asked, “What about your previous apartment? Not planning to live there anymore?”
“Mm.”
Vienna nodded: “Rick has already signed the divorce agreement, so legally we are no longer a couple. But I can only get the divorce certificate after the cooling-off period. At that time, I’ll sell the apartment at Smartday Holdings.”
“That’s good.”
Jacob didn’t say much more. As fellow wanderers in life, he understood Vienna’s thoughts. There were too many sad memories in that apartment, so it was better not to live there.
“What are your plans for the future?” Jacob asked, as he still had 100 million in NPC-exclusive spending money in his account.
Since this beautiful young woman had already drawn a line with Rick, he could spend that money on her.
Although he bore the title of a wealthy man, Jacob had never experienced the feeling of spending money like water.
Those rich people casually spend hundreds of millions or even billions.
He had only spent tens of thousands or a little over a hundred thousand before, which wasn’t satisfying at all! Damn it, I want to spend money! Don’t stop me!!
Jacob silently shouted in his heart.
“I want to open a flower shop or a coffee shop. That way, I’ll have more free time and it won’t affect my picking up and dropping off Selena from school.”
