Dragon Bay was developed by the Langdon family, the richest family in Nuthana. It was over eighty acres huge.
The distance from the entrance to the mansion area alone was over three hundred meters.
“Finn, have we not reached the house you bought yet?”
The further Rhiannon walked, the greater her astonishment grew. She was aware that the houses deeper within Dragon Bay and closer to the sea were more expensive. The cost was nearly one hundred and fifty thousand or more.
There was no small unit.
Desmond and his wife grew uneasy. “Finny, what kind of house did the Miles family give you?”
They were still far away, but Finnegan could sense his family's anxiety.
He realized he shouldn't speak up, or they might stop proceeding any further.
“Mom, Dad, we'll head to the house later. Let's walk around the residential area and check out the environment.”
Desmond and Quiana nodded distractedly. Rhiannon inched closer to Finnegan and asked softly, “Finn, the Miles family's house should be a mansion, right?”
Rhiannon had guessed it right.
Finnegan replied in a low voice, “Why do you think it's a mansion?”
“It's Mr. Miles we're talking about!” Rhiannon's face lit up with admiration. “He's worth hundreds of billions. Why would he buy a condominium? You're being so secretive about it, so I'm guessing it must be a mansion. Otherwise, you wouldn't have kept Mom and Dad in suspense.”
“You're still as quick-witted as ever,” Finnegan remarked with a smile as he flicked Rhiannon's forehead.
His words confirmed her speculation. Rhiannon excitedly embraced Finnegan's arm. “So, my guess was right! Is it truly a mansion, Finn? How spacious is it? Does it include a swimming pool and other facilities?”
After giving his parents a quick look and confirming that they weren't focused on them, Finnegan said in a hushed tone, “I haven't visited it myself, so we'll uncover those details together later. But for now, let's keep this from Mom and Dad. Otherwise, they might get too apprehensive to even step into the mansion area.”
“Okay!”
Under Finnegan's lead, the family soon arrived at the entrance of the mansion area.
This section was distinct from the rest of the condominium complex and had its own set of security guards. The residents living outside looked like security guards for those living in the mansion area.
Despite knowing that, the residents still loved the houses here.
Rhiannon's eyes sparkled with excitement as she gazed at the mansions beyond the fence. “People often say that the true essence of Dragon Bay lies within these mansions, while the outer residential area is just borrowing its name. Having witnessed it firsthand, I believe it now!”
Desmond sighed. “I heard that when Dragon Bay was first put up for sale two years ago, the least expensive mansion went for one hundred and fifty million, while the priciest one fetched six hundred million. The prices should have at least doubled by now.”
“What are you guys doing here?”
Suddenly, Qahira's sharp and angry voice rang out.
Desmond's and Quiana's expressions suddenly shifted. They swiftly turned around to find Qahira and her family nearby.
Quiana panicked immediately. “Raymond, Qahira, what are you guys doing here?”
“If people as destitute as you can afford to be here, then why can't we?” Qahira's eyes blazed with indignation as she clenched her teeth. “We're here to purchase a home, unlike you, who are here merely to revel in the ambiance.”
Ximena's gaze was filled with menace. “How unlucky!”
She was about to get engaged to Yosef and become the wife of a rich man.
However, Finnegan had stirred up a commotion at the engagement celebration. Just yesterday, Yosef's family had requested to cancel the engagement, shattering her aspirations of joining a prestigious family.
She and Qahira had joined hands to beat Quiana up to vent their anger, but that didn't dispel any.
