Chapter 16

The next day. Yvonne had the habit of going for a morning run. She got up at six o'clock every day. After changing her clothes, Yvonne walked to Samuel's floor mattress and asked, "Are you still pretending to be asleep?" Samuel sat up awkwardly. While he did not expect Yvonne to know that he watched her whenever she got off work, he was equally as surprised to find out that she knew he followed her for the morning run every day. The two went out together. For the past three years, Yvonne had taken the same route in her daily morning run. She would definitely pass by the Cloudridge Hill villa area. After arriving at the road to the villa area of Cloudridge Hill, Samuel asked Yvonne, "Why do you stop here every day to look?" "The air quality is definitely much better if you jog on this hilly road in the morning," Yvonne explained with a yearning look. No one except the residents of the villa could pass through the gates as they pleased. Yvonne knew that it was a place she could not hope to get, so she was content to just take a look at it every day. "Grandma has always wanted to live here, because living here is the only way she can truly enter upper-class society. This collaboration with Weakriver Real Estate will likely give the Sue family that opportunity, which is why she was so adamant that she wanted Harvey to come to me." Samuel looked at the villa on the mountainside and said, "I heard that the hillside villa is going to be auctioned. The former owner went abroad many years ago, so he probably doesn't plan to return any more." "What are you thinking?" Yvonne looked at Samuel helplessly before saying, "The hillside villa is the most expensive property in the entire Cloudridge Hill area. It’s also the one that reflects the status best. There will definitely be a ton of rich people making their move in this auction. I heard that the selling price is estimated at sixty million. Do you know how much money that is?" Sixty million was no small number indeed, but...it was not that high a sum either. "Let's go," Samuel said with a smile. The two of them ate breakfast together before going home. For the first time in three years, Samuel found an excuse to leave the house shortly after returning home. Weakriver Real Estate.  The boss’ office on the top floor. Samuel stood in front of the French windows with his hands behind his back. Liam stood respectfully behind Samuel. "Get someone to bid in the auction for Cloudridge Hill’s villa," Samuel said.   Liam seemed to be in a dilemma when he said, "Young Master, you can only use the Hannigan family's money to develop the company, this... " Samuel sneered coldly and tossed a bank card on the desk, saying, "Ever since I was twelve, I’ve always known that the Hannigan family belongs to him. So, I used my connections with the Hannigan family to help me earn my own money, and I’ve had my own company ever since I was sixteen years old. Were you in charge of collaborating with the Tagliare Company when you were in the Hannigan family?" Liam suddenly became short of breath when he heard those words. "I’ve been good friends with Tagliare Company’s chairman, Leroy Quinn, for many years," Liam said. "Chairman?" A wicked smile curled up the corner of Samuel’s mouth. "He’s just a puppet." Deep down, Liam's heart was shocked and he looked incredulously at Samuel. Leroy turned out to be the puppet of the Hannigan family’s young master. Samuel had been controlling Leonard for so many years. Was he the real boss of the Tagliare Company? "Do you know why it’s called Tagliare?" Samuel asked. Liam was so scared that he did not know what to say. "It’s a sword hanging over the Hannigan family’s head." Liam's forehead was cold and sweaty. He could not believe that Samuel had been forging his own path ever since the tender age of 12. Was that not the time to be young and worry-free? The Hannigan family’s eldest young master could not compare to Samuel’s scheming mind, not by a long shot. Who could have imagined that the young man in front of him had already hung a sword on the Hannigan family’s head when the family’s Eldest Young Master spent his time drinking and enjoying himself? With a cool breeze creeping up his back, Liam said, "Don't worry, Young Master. I won’t ever tell anyone about that." "Spare no effort to win the bid for this villa. She wants to go for her morning run on the hillside road every morning." ‘I—Samuel Hannigan—will find a way to give you whatever you want, even if you desire the entire world.’
