Lynn's face flushed when she heard Adele's words.
Adele was clearly making fun of her, implying that she wasn't qualified to enter Southland.
"I..Can't I have something on here?" Lynn retorted indignantly.
To that, Adele simply laughed.
"You mean here, in Southland? This is a high-end residential area with only Eastshire's wealthiest
families, and you said you have something on here? Either you live here, or do you know any of the
residents here?’ That stumped Lynn.
"I- I..."
Adele had always been an arrogant and conceited person.
Looking at Lynn's embarrassed manner, she was immensely proud of what she had said.
However, she pretended to be concerned and said, "Lynn, we're classmates.You don't need to pretend
to be someone else to impress me.You're from a small town, and I'm well aware of your family's
condition.In fact, whether you are wealthy or not is unimportant at all.The most important thing is to
know who you are and be realistic.Do you understand?"
Though she appeared to be educating Lynn, she was actually mocking her.
After hearing Adele's words, Lynn was so enraged that she began trembling and couldn't think of
anything to say.
At the same time, Helen, who was standing nearby, was furious as well.She treated Lynn as her junior,
so she couldn't stand the younger woman being humiliated in front of her.
In fact, she wanted to head straight to them and defend Lynn.
However, she hesitated.
Matthew saw through her intentions.
Hence, he said softly, "Mom, this entire building belongs to you and Dad now.This is my way of
compensating you both.You are free to deal with it however you want; you don't need to seek my
permission."
Helen was surprised with what he said.
With such an assurance, she walked right up to Lynn.
Reaching Lynn's side, she said loudly, "Who is pretending? Of course Lynn can be in Southland; she
lives here!"
However, Lynn was shocked to hear that.
Since when did I start living here? Adele was stunned as well.
Looking dubiously at Helen, she asked, "Who are you?"
To that, Helen replied arrogantly.
"You are not qualified to know who I am.Lynn is now a property owner in Southland, so she will be
coming in and out here often.You'd better not be surprised!"
Upon hearing that, Adele furrowed her brows and stared at Helen.
"You said she is the one of the property owners here? Well, which unit is she living in?"
She then sneered coldly and continued, "If you can't answer my question, it means you're sneaking into
Southland.I'll have you know that the security here is very strict.Do you know what would happen if I
informed the security guards?"
Helen, on the other hand, only gave her a mocking smile.
"Why? Are you treating us as if we're thieves? Don't be concerned! I have a lot of properties here and I
don't need to sneak in!"
Adele laughed when she heard that.
"You certainly are conceited, Madam! You said you have a lot of units here? Well, do you know that the
purchase of the properties in Eastshire is limited, with people fighting for just one unit? And you said
you have a lot? How many do you actually have? Just two or three? You're hilarious!"
But Helen remained unmoved.
Arrogantly, she replied, "You know nothing! Two or three is insignificant.I have an entire building here!"
Adele burst out laughing when she heard what Helen said.
"Oh my goodness, you're hilarious! An entire building? Madam, are you in your right mind or have you
just escaped from an asylum? Your condition is serious!"
"Adele, don't speak nonsense.Whatever Mrs.Cunningham is saying is true"
Lynn anxiously cut in.
In response, Adele simply laughed again.
"Why are you going crazy with her, Lynn? Oh my, that was amusing! Come on, tell me—which building
is yours?"
