I Inherited Billions

Chapter 96

I had to admit that Rue was quite pretty.

She was slender and had an attractive face. Unlike Macy’s foxiness, Rue had an intellect about her. She had to be highly educated.

However, I was not moved by her seduction.

That was because compared to Layla, who was about to arrive, Rue was nothing.

I looked at her and sneered as I said, “I’m afraid you’re not qualified to sleep with me.”

“Me? Not qualified?”

A look of surprise appeared on Rue’s face. “Mr. Lang, I’m afraid you’re only saying that because you don’t know me well. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rue Bale, and I graduated with a Master’s degree in Finance from Princeton University. I am 5-foot-8 and 110 pounds. My measurements are 34, 23, and 36. Considering all that, how am I not qualified to be with you?”

Rue shared her background with confidence, even telling me something as intimate as her measurements.

To be honest, she had a great body. However, her boobs could not be compared to Montana’s and her legs were not as long as Nadia’s.

However, her body’s proportions conformed to the golden ratio for an hourglass figure.

Moreover, she was a Master’s degree graduate from Princeton University.

“Ho, so what? What has it got to do with me if you’re pretty? I’m married,” I said coldly, trying to put a stop to Rue’s advances.

This woman had no idea how to respect herself.

With such great qualifications, she could have married well, yet she chose such an unorthodox path.

“You’re married?” Rue looked surprised. However, afterward, she said, “That’s fine. I can be your lover. I’m qualified to be your lover, aren’t I?”

Rue was adamant, which I found surprising.

However, I quickly figured out her thoughts.

She wanted to use her exceptional beauty to try to marry into a rich family. I knew very well that this woman was wildly ambitious and quite intelligent.

Every decision she made must have been carefully calculated.

“You should leave. You’re not even qualified to be my lover. Besides, my wife will be here soon.”

She hesitated but did not leave. “I’d like to see how wonderful and beautiful she is to be able to make you reject me.”

She was not giving up.

“Whatever suits you.”

With that, I left the room and went to another floor.

…

It was not long before I received Layla’s call.

“Where are you, Freddie? Why did you ask me to meet you here?”

“Where are you, Wifey?” I asked, instead of answering her.

“I’m at the front door of Scenic Villa.”

“Wait where you are. I’ll come get you.” I ran down the stairs immediately.

I immediately spotted Layla leaning against her car when I arrived at the villa’s door.

It could have been because I had not seen her for a long time, but now that I was seeing her again, I felt she looked even more beautiful and alluring than ever before.

She was standing next to her car. A sexy car and a beauty next to it, all posed against an azure background of the sky and sea…

It was like a beautiful oil painting.

“What exactly is going on, Freddie? Why did you ask me to come here?” Layla looked at me with slight anger.

She was beautiful even when she was angry.

I looked at her and chuckled. “Don’t get mad. Come with me. I have a surprise for you.”

With that, I pulled her to villa number 8.

However, Layla stopped walking when she arrived in front of the villa. “What are you doing? Isn’t this someone else’s home? Why did you bring me here? Did you find a job here? Are you working as a nanny? Or as a security guard?”

She asked me a series of questions, firing them off. She even thought I might be working as a security guard here, which I had no idea how to react to.

“Wifey, can’t you think more positively? Maybe I bought this villa,” I said with a chuckle as I looked at Layla.

“You bought this villa? That’s impossible!!!” Layla did not think twice as she immediately doubted my answer. “Why exactly did you drag me all the way here?”

“Urm…” I had no idea what else to say, so I continued. “Don’t ask so many questions. Let me show you around.”

With that, I held her hand as I prepared to take her for a tour floor-by-floor.

However, the moment Layla and I stepped into the living room, Rue came walking toward us.

I knew that Rue had specially come out here to take a look at my wife.

I smiled and introduced Layla. “Let me introduce you, Wifey. This is Rue Bale. She’s the saleswoman for Scenic Villa.”

Next, I introduced Layla to Rue. “Rue, this is my wife. As for who she is, I believe there’s no need for introductions.” I looked proud as I said this to Rue.

I noticed Rue’s eyes widen when she saw Layla.

Her jaw fell so wide open that I could fit an entire egg inside.

It was obvious that she was shocked upon realizing who Layla was…

She extended her hand in a fluster after she heard my words. “How do you do, Miss Owens? Welcome to Scenic Villa. I'm the property consultant, Rue Bale. Feel free to let me know if you need help with anything.”

Rue tried her best to keep calm, but I realized she was trembling as she shook hands with Layla.

Layla’s identity must have given her quite a shock.

A smile appeared on my face as I said, “Miss Bale, thank you for taking the time to entertain our questions. I have already familiarized myself with the villa.”

“Alright. I’ll take my leave, then.”

Rue gave me a bow and left with relief.

It was clear that Layla’s appearance had put great pressure on her.

She had been confident before about wanting to be my lover, but she must have felt ashamed after meeting Layla and no longer harbored any thoughts of becoming my mistress!

Layla turned to look at me after Rue left. She was puzzled. “What’s going on, Freddie? Why did she welcome me here? Did you bring me here to pay for the villa because you have set your eyes on it?”

She said this hesitatingly.

“Hehe, you don’t need to worry about anything. Just tell me if you like it.”

“Of course I do. I noticed a huge beach with golden sand in front of the villa. It’d be quite nice to have a walk there in the evenings.” Layla looked at her surroundings and nodded with satisfaction. “I can’t comment on anything else, but you do have a good eye. I wonder if this villa is expensive?”

I felt a little sad but also found it slightly funny when I saw how careful Layla was.

She was a superstar, yet she was still concerned about money.

Who would ever believe that?

However, I knew it was the truth…

It was because she had a mother who constantly spent her money. Everything she earned had been lost to her mother, and she was not really as rich as people thought.

“Wifey, you don’t need to worry about the price. I’ve already bought this villa.”

With that, I took out a set of keys from my pocket and dangled it in front of her. “Take it. This will be our home from now onward.”

Layla did not take the keys. She simply looked at me in shock. “You’re not messing with me, are you, Freddie? You’ve really bought it?”

“I really did. The villa is under your name. If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you the contract later.”

“So my mum was telling the truth? Did you really buy the villa? You’re not putting on a show? Did you really, truly buy a villa?”

“Of course. Why would I joke about something like that? Just take it.” With that, I pressed the villa keys into Layla’s hands.

Layla took a look at the keys in her hand and took another look at her surroundings. Her eyes were filled with delight.

I could not help but feel happy when I saw the expression on her face.

It was once said that the smile of a beauty was difficult to buy even with a thousand gold pieces. However, if Layla would always be this happy, I would be more than willing to buy the entire world for her.

“You should stop being so astonished. Let me take you around. There’s a lot within this villa that you’ll enjoy.”

With that, I pulled Layla along to tour the place.

Layla must have liked the villa a lot. She was reserved in the beginning, but after a while, she could no longer hold herself back and began to discuss with me how every room could be used.

After we were done touring the villa, Layla kept staring at me.

I felt self-conscious from the staring and chuckled. “What are you looking at me for, Wifey?”

“Freddie, isn’t it time for you to tell me honestly who you really are?” Layla looked at me with determination in her eyes.
