Chapter 197
Just as Comelia was hesitating. Abigail suddenly thought of a critical issue, âOh, wait a minute, we havenât even made our cabinets yet, should we hold off from buying the sofa?â
Thatâs right. Maybe we should really get a grip on the process of home renovation?â Cornelia realized, they were both novices at this. They were clueless about the renovation steps, let
alone the details
Abigail suggested, âWhy donât we go online and look up some renovation tips first?â
Cornelia nodded in agreement
Abigail continued, âOur sales rep told us that banks usually disburse loans faster at the beginning of the year. If weâre lucky, our loan may be disbursed tomorrow or after tomorrow Once we get the loan, we can take possession of the apartment and start the renovation. Then we wont have to rent anymore.â
The thought of owning their own cozy nest in Riverton brought a smile to Corneliaâs face, âYeah, we will soon have a place of our own.
However, a voice spoiled their good mood. âMs. Stewart, I didnât expect to see you here. You didnât buy a place in Riverton, did you?â
It was Natalia from behind them, with a fashionably dressed woman by her side.
Cornelia smiled. Is it so strange that I bought a place in Riverton?â
Natalia still looked envious, âStrange or not, you know best. Youâve been in Riverton for so many years without being able to afford a house. Yet, you managed to buy one within a year with Marc Just how much have you taken advantage of him?â
âJust because you think a woman needs a man to buy a house, doesnât mean all women are like you,â Cornelia shot back, leaving Natalia speechless.
âAnd stop calling Marc like youâre buddies Does President Hartley even know who you are? Heâs a married man, and youâre throwing yourself at him. Iâm embarrassed for youâ
When it came to quarrels, Cornelia thought that few people could win her. True enough, her words infuriated Natalia, who turned red with anger, Lucia, donât do business with this woman. Her money is dirtyâ
Lucia replied, âYes, if you say not to sell, we wonât.â
Natalia was still not satisfied, Inform all the businesses here not to deal with her.â
Cornelia then remembered that this mall was owned by the Reese family. Luckily, she hadnât paid a deposit yet, or sheâd be in trouble
Cornelia pulled Abigail towards the exit, âAbby, letâs shop somewhere else.â
Abigail purposely said loudly, âWho is that, so uncivilized, not putting their dog on a leash, and it barks at anyone. Such bad luck!â
Cornelia laughed. âWhy bother arguing with a dog?â
Outside, Natalia couldnât be bullied like this. With an idea, she shouted to the security guard at the door, âStop those two women! My diamond necklace is missing, I suspect they stole itâ
The Reese familyâs shopping mall, there must be no one who doesnât know Natalia. The security guard immediately stopped Cornelia and Abigail, âLadies, please wait!â
The guard said âplease,â but his attitude was very firm, as if he had already decided that Cornelia and Abigail were thieves.
