Chapter 838

“Really? You don’t know it yet, but one of the people, whom I intend to give James’ cemetery lots to, is Patrick.”

“Hahaha! Patrick will surely kill you for insulting him!”

After a short while, a man decked in a formal suit and leather shoes arrived.

He appeared to be in his twenties, but his eyes reflected a maturity far beyond his age.

That man was Patrick.

At the sight of him, Serena leapt forward and hugged his arm while complaining, “Patrick, you must stand up for me. Someone bullied me.”

“What happened?” Patrick asked worriedly.

Serene related everything, albeit in an exaggerated manner, that had happened to him.

Patrick furrowed his brows.

This man is no ordinary person if he could fork out ten billion. There’s no need to offend him for the sake of a woman. But I really can’t allow him to buy all the villas here. These villas are meant to be gifted to the officials so I can build relationships with them! There will be nothing left for me to give them if Zeke buys all of them!

Serene continued, “Oh yes, Patrick. This fellow said he wanted to gift a cemetery lot to you just now.

He was so disrespectful to you.”

“Oh?” Patrick looked at Zeke in astonishment.

Why does this guy seem vaguely familiar?

He could not recall where he had seen Zeke before.

“Patrick, please don’t sell the villas to him. He has stolen the money he used to buy the villas. You must stand up for me today. In return, I... I will do the thing for you,” Serena pleaded.

At that, Patrick smiled evilly.

I didn’t plan to sell all the villas to Zeke anyway, but Serena has offered to do that thing for me. Only a fool would reject her.

Patrick gathered himself before walking towards Zeke. “What is your last name?”

“Williams.”

“Mr. Williams, could we sit down for a chat?”

“Sure!”

Both men sat down.

“Mr. Williams, to be honest with you, I am not planning to sell all the villas here, so... I’m sorry.”

Zeke slammed his palms on the table and replied, “What if I insist on buying all of them?”

“If you really like the villas here, why don’t I give one of them to you for free?”

Patrick understood the logic of making more friends rather than enemies. Furthermore, the man before him was wealthy; there was no need for him to take a hard line on him.

Zeke retorted, “Maybe you have mistaken my words. I said I want all of them!”

Zeke retorted, “Maybe you have mistaken my words. I said I want all of them!”

Patrick smiled bitterly upon hearing Zeke’s words.

This man is indeed foolish. How dare he act like a thug before me! He doesn’t know what’s good for him!

Patrick stood up to leave. “Manager, refund him money and see him out.”

Zeke had also stood up. “I want all the villas, and I won’t be paying a single cent for them. The ten billion is to pay for your life, so you need not refund it to me.”

Huh?

Patrick sensed danger.

He said he wanted to give a cemetery lot to me just now, but I did not pay much attention to his words.

But now, he claims that the money is meant to pay for my life. This guy has come here with ill intentions.

Serena lashed out at Zeke in rage, “You asshole. How dare a beggar like you insult Patrick! You are too much! Patrick, you must teach him a lesson.”

Patrick put his hand behind his back, where he had hidden a gun.

“What do you mean?”

“Let me remind you. Do you still remember Frederick?”

Frederick!

Patrick was in a real fluster now.
