Wendy shook her head and said, “Such mansions are priceless and unattainable. Even if you can afford it, you can’t find a place to buy it. Only families like The Big Eight can have this. Not to mention this is in the prime location of Belfard. Just in this area, let alone this mansion, even ordinary two or three-bedroom apartments won’t go for less than eight figures.”

“As for the price of this mansion, with such a large area, even I wouldn’t dare say it.”

Christy Xenos muttered, “No wonder so many people want to get into the ultra-rich families, they have so much money!”

“Ultra-rich families?” Wendy snickered, “The Zhekova Family isn’t just an ordinary ultra-rich family. Those ultra-rich families may have the money to buy this mansion, but where can they buy it? Otherwise, with so many ultra-rich families, how many do you see actually living in mansions like this?”

As Wendy spoke, her heart was filled with shock and envy.

“Cindy Clarke mingles with families like this every day, eating and living here, laughing and talking,” Wendy said enviously. “Mom and Dad, can you imagine?”

This made Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos utterly speechless.

They couldn’t imagine it.

“Cindy has really become a phoenix, going in and out of mansions like this every day,” Wendy sneered sarcastically, “What we find so shocking is just ordinary for Cindy. She probably doesn’t even think much about it anymore, not even lingering at the door or taking an extra glance at the mansion’s splendor. This is the gap; this is her daily life.”

“She lives this way but doesn’t tell us, enjoying the wealth and luxury in this family mansion. Did she even think of us for a moment? Today, we are like hillbillies, astonished at the sight of this mansion.”

Wendy’s words pierced the hearts of both Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos.

Before on the road, Joshua could still occasionally speak up for Cindy.

But now, Joshua thought Wendy was right.

He once thought his life in Nork City was good enough, but now, looking at the Zhekova Residence, he felt impossibly poor.

One couldn’t imagine the life of the rich.

Joshua moved his mouth, looking at the plaque on the mansion’s gate, “These two words, ‘Zhekova Residence’, seem extraordinary, the handwriting is beautiful.”

Wendy chuckled, “This plaque looks quite old, I wonder which ancient master’s handiwork it is.”

Joshua couldn’t help but reveal an awed expression. Those seemingly distant and untouchable characters from books seemed to come to life, as if they had connections to him.

It was such a marvelous feeling.

Wendy reminded, “Let’s go in first. After we have a good talk with the Zhekova Family, perhaps we can come here more often. And once our family settles down in Belfard and joins the circle of famous and rich people, even if we can’t buy a mansion this big, we can still get a large courtyard.”

Christy had always longed for a big villa, but the choices in Nork City were limited.

When she watched TV or news, she admired the large and beautiful villas of the rich, which were also very modern and simply but grandly designed.

There was a mansion on Harbour Island owned by an ultra-rich family that resembled a castle, and Christy was extremely envious.

She had always thought that once they moved to Belfard, they must buy a villa as grand as that, like living in a manor.

The kind where you need to walk for half an hour on the lawn inside the courtyard.

In a city as large as Belfard, there must be such grand houses.

However, now that she saw the family mansion, she felt that her previous desires were not grand enough, and they didn’t have the grandeur that the family mansion had.

Although the family mansion wasn’t as big as the castle manors, it was clear that it had a long history and didn’t look like a newly-rich place.

This made Christy extremely happy, and she quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, yes, in the future, we will live in a place with culture.”

Wendy didn’t know about Christy’s lovely aspirations.

However, despite her seemingly knowledgeable explanation to Joshua and Christy, Wendy was also meeting a legendary family for the first time.

She had to be cautious around Edward Lopez, let alone the Zhekova Family’s elders.

Wendy’s heart was pounding as well.

She took a deep breath and prepared to press the doorbell.

Christy promptly grabbed Wendy’s arm.

Wendy heard Christy’s obvious deep breath.

Turning her head, she saw Christy swallow and awkwardly say, “I’m just a little nervous, give me a moment to prepare.”

Not just Christy, Joshua was also panting heavily.

Wendy waited for over a minute before saying, “I’m pressing it now.”

Joshua nodded, “No matter if you stick your neck out or not, it’s the same knife, go ahead and press.”

Christy stiffened her neck and said, “What do you mean ‘the same knife’? The Zhekova Family is our in-laws, not strangers. Don’t make it seem like we’re entering a dragon’s den or tiger’s lair.”

Unbeknownst to the three of them, their every move and word had been watched and listened to by the bodyguards since they got out of the car.

In the security room inside the large mansion, there were real-time video feeds.

The reactions of the three were clearly visible, and even their conversations could be heard clearly.

These monitors also transmitted the information in real-time to the Elders in the Zhekova Family.

The Old Master coldly said, “What a bunch of lowlifes!”

Aunt Evans sympathetically said, “I thought at least Cindy’s father would be good; even though he’s weak, he has a heart for Cindy. It’s rare in the Clarke Family to see such warmth.”

Aunt Evans wasn’t saying Joshua was good, but compared to Christy and Wendy, he seemed passable.

At least he showed some affection for Cindy, which, even if he didn’t have the ability, the heartfelt intent offered some comfort.

But looking at Joshua now, he wasn’t much better than Christy and Wendy, and perhaps even more hypocritical than Christy.

At least Christy was openly calculating and disliked Cindy.

But what about Joshua? On one hand, he claimed to care for Cindy, but on the other hand, he did nothing to help her.

Aunt Evans could discern all these things, and of course, the elders couldn’t be fooled.

From the very beginning when they heard of Cindy’s situation, the two elders had already seen through Joshua.

They didn’t hold much hope for him.

Now that they saw the monitored scene, it simply validated their initial thoughts.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Although the Main Hall was quite far from the gate, the doorbell sound could still be transmitted in real-time.

“It’s the three from the Clarke Family,” Butler Howard said.
