The Man’s Decree

Chapter 177 House ViewingProperty © NôvelDrama.Org.

Early the following morning, Jared went to his mansion at Dragon Bay with the meat reishi mushroom in hand after informing his parents that he was going out.

At that very moment, Zayne, Maria, and Lydia were arguing with the security guard at the entrance of Dragon Bay.

“Why are you forbidding us from entering? We’re here to buy a house! Is this how you treat your clients?” Maria bellowed at the security guard.

She was initially in a good mood when she came to take a look at the houses in Dragon Bay. When the commission was approved, she would have enough for the down payment for a place there. While she couldn’t afford a mansion on the hill, she could apply for a loan and purchase one at the foot of the hill.

Unexpectedly, the security guard refused to let them in when they arrived. That had her flipping her lid.

“If you want to buy a house, you can go to the sales gallery next door. Entry is prohibited before you’re a property owner,” the security guard replied indifferently.

“How are we to buy a house if we don’t go in and view the property?” Maria continued contending.

“If you want to have a viewing, you can have a sales representative bring you in. You can’t enter alone. That’s our policy here.”

The security guard remained rooted at the entrance, blocking them from entering the neighborhood.

“Forget about it, Maria. Let’s go to the sales gallery first and have the sales representative bring us in,” Zayne urged as he tugged at Maria.

Although he was likewise miffed, he didn’t dare kick up a fuss there, since they were in Dragon Bay, the best neighborhood in the whole of Horington. All who lived there were big shots, so he dared not make a scene when he was just an insignificant department manager.

Following that, Maria could only shoot the security guard a glare and threaten, “Just you wait! When I’ve become a property owner here, I’ll have the management sack you!”

They then left and went to the sales gallery. Meanwhile, the security guard sneered, “How ridiculous! She really thinks that she’s some bigwig!”

Mere moments after they had left, Jared arrived in his car, the second-hand Ford.

When the security guards spotted the car from afar, one of them immediately waved and signaled Jared to stop.

They had been working at Dragon Bay for quite some time, but they had never seen any of the property owners there driving a Ford.

Jared brought the car to a stop, and a security guard trotted over to ask him about the purpose of his visit.

The moment Jared rolled down his car window, however, the security guard fell into a trance upon catching a glimpse of Jared.

A long while passed before the guard gathered his wits about him. “Oh, it’s you, Mr. Chance! I’m really sorry about this.”

Jared had been living at the mansion at the top of the mountain back then, and that was the most expensive mansion in the whole of Dragon Bay. For that reason, all the security guards recognized him.

“It’s okay.” Jared flashed him a faint smile.

In no time, the security guard waved a hand. “Hurry up and open the gate! It’s Mr. Chance!”

Upon hearing that it was Jared, the security guard at the entrance hurriedly opened the gate. When Jared drove past, all the guards promptly saluted him.

But just when he was about to enter the gate, a red Maserati darted in front of his car, wanting to cut him off and get into the neighborhood ahead of him.

Having insufficient time to brake, he rear-ended the Maserati. That turn of events rendered the few security guards dumbfounded. Never had they expected a car to zip over all of a sudden and cause an accident.

As the accident happened at the entrance of the neighborhood, they were also considered partially responsible. Therefore, they all glowered at the red Maserati.

“Do you even know how to drive? How dare you ram into my car when you’re just driving a shabby Ford? Do you know how much my car costs?”

A woman with sunglasses and a fashionable straw hat on her head started cursing at Jared after getting out of the car. She was infuriated when she saw that her beloved car took a hit.
