Chapter 200
Almost done with breakfast, Dorian remembered a call he got from Dawson yesterday.
“Oh, right, there’s something I need to tell you guys” He continued. “We’re moving house today. We’re
moving to a villa in Jade Garden Residences”
“Mr. Hawthorn, you bought a house?” Vivienne frowned
The prices in Jade Garden Residences were even higher than in Tranquil Estates. If it was a villa, it
would cost millions.
“No, but I might in the future” Dorian couldn’t help but grin at the thought of this unexpected good
fortune
“See, Jade Garden Residences is a real estate development by our company, and their planning
department wants to use real–life experiences as a promotional strategy for the villas Somehow, they
chose our family”
“My boss, Dawson, told me yesterday that as long as our entire family lives in their model house for a
month, not only would they give me a bonus, but they would also sell me the villa we’re living in for a
much lower price than market value. I thought it was a great opportunity, so I agreed
After hearing that it was Dawson’s scheme, Vivienne decided not to interfere
“You handle it I have no objections.”
Percival, on the other hand, was looking skeptical. He felt that there was something odd about it
“Dorian, Cordelia, I’ve been looking for a place to stay lately. You wouldn’t mind if I joined you for this
experience, would you? I’m also considering buying a villa in Jade Garden Residences
Dorian was about to refuse, but Cordelia shot him a look, and he relented.
With Vivienne and Percival getting along so well, it would be good to give the couple some space to
nurture their relationship
So he reluctantly nodded
“Dad, will we get to live in a big house from now on?” Thaddeus asked, his eyes sparkling with
excitement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes” Dorian answered as he patted Thaddeus‘ hair affectionately.
Upon seeing his son’s expectant eyes, he decided that he had to buy the villa Besides, he might not
get another chance to take advantage of such a
bargain
“Since we re only going to be staying there for a month, we’ll just take some essentials. You don’t have
to worry about the moving.”
“Alright Vivienne agreed. She had other things on her mind, and after finishing her breakfast and
cleaning up her dishes, she said, I’m off to school”
“I’ll come with you” Percival offered.
“What are you going to do at school? There’s no PE class this week, and you’re a PE teacher. Vivienne
teased.
I’m also looking for the person you’re looking for, so why not go together?” Percival replied simply.
Vivienne’s gaze flickered. She was indeed going to school to look for someone.
Anna
She had noticed the girl’s skills on the basketball court, and after witnessing her defusing a bomb, she
was sure that Anna was the child she had been looking for
When Vivienne and Percival arrived at Cloudcrest High School, they learned from Lysander that Anna
had transferred to Rivenwood overnight.
The kidnapping must have scared her That’s probably why she decided to transfer suddenly” Lysander
said with a frown. He couldn’t understand why Anna would choose to transfer to Riverwood a week
before the college entrance exams
But then. Anna had scored sixth in the whole grade in the last exam Even if she transferred to
Rivenwood, she should be able to get into a good university
Vivienne stayed silent. She and Percival had been looking for Anna for so long, hoping to learn the
truth about her mother’s last mission and the potion incident. And now, she had just disappeared like
that
Just then, her phone buzzed. She took it out and saw a message from an unknown number [Ms.
Vivienne, I know you have many questions Come find me at Riverwood | be waiting
Annal
Percival saw it too. They exchanged a glance, both wondering about Anna’s intentions
Was her sudden transfer a way to escape someone, or was she using herself as bait to lure Vivienne to
Ravenwood?
Meanwhile Dorian and Cordelia had hired a moving company for their big move to Jade Garden
Residences
Dawson had told them that all the furniture, appliances, and household items in the villa were already
prepared, so they only needed to bring their clothes
and necessities
When they were led to the designated model villa by the property management, Dorian thought they
had made a mistake
The villa was not only located in the best part of Jade Garden Residences, but it was also the biggest
Which real estate company would use the best house as a model home?
However, the property management confirmed that there was no mistake and handed them the keys.
Dorian and Cordelia moved their belongings into the vika, both astonished and puzzled
As soon as they stepped inside, they were stunned by the luxurious European–style interior

Chapter
Custom–made crystal chandeliers from Veloria, handcrafted leather sofas, dining tables, and coffee
tables with surfaces made from large pieces of jade. Even the carpet was a handwoven piece from an
international luxury brand
The total value of the interior design and furniture could easily buy another villa of the same size
‘Does your company always go all out on these model homes? Cordelia was flabbergasted. She felt
cautious about where to step, afraid she might break something and have to pay for it.
“Did Mr. Dawson really say he’d give us all this furniture and decoration?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Uh–huh, that’s what he said Dorian was just as stunned
Is Mr. Dawson some kind of rich idiot? Cordelia expressed her perplexity
Before they could recover from their shock at the opulence of the villa, the doorbell rang unexpectedly
“It must be the real estate agents. They must have given us the wrong house.” Dorian hurried to
answer the door, mumbling. I knew it couldn’t be this
one
But as soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by Dawson’s smiling face.
“M: Dawson?”
When he looked past Dawson, he saw eight handsome men, each with their own unique charm,
standing in line. He instantly had an inkling of what was
going on
“Mr Dawson, this is your house, isn’t it? I’m so sorry, the property management must have made a
mistake and led us here. We’ll move our stuff out immediately
“No, no, no, there’s no mistake” Dawson immediately intervened I’m not here to kick you out. Your
daughter, Vivienne, has some disciples from the Emerald Monastery who came to visit her in
Havenwood. But since they couldn’t reach her, they contacted our company, and I helped bring them
over
Disciples?” Cordelia came over, looking at the eight men standing behind Dawson. They looked old
enough to be Vivienne’s uncles, so how could they be her disciples?
“Hello” Jerry, as the eldest among them, naturally stepped forward to represent the group. “We joined
the Emerald Monastery later than the Mystic Mistress. so technically, we are her juniors”
Cordelia nodded in understanding, although the strong aura the man exuded made her feel a bit
uncomfortable
She and Dorian exchanged glances, guessing that Dawson wouldn’t bring eight bad guys to their
house. Since they claimed to be Vivienne’s disciples. they let them in.
The couple was also curious about Vivienne’s life at the monastery during the past decade since she
always glossed over it and refused to go into detai And so Dawson and the eight men, with reluctant
Leopold in tow, made their entrance into the house.
