264. Woman in Fur
"What do you think, Mr. Herwen?" said a gentle smile to the woman in her fur coat.
Herwin took Hora's hand and looked at the ornate mansion that was four stories high, with elegant reliefs on pillars and roofs, gardens, fountains, sculptures.
Although this is the suburban part of Wharton, it is also a suburb of the western city, and it is not easy to have such a large annex estate.
For the wealthy, owning such a manor should be a face-saving person, but the capitalists are generally reluctant to spend so much money on such a place, and the vast majority of the nobles cannot afford to waste money, and the vast majority of them will only live in ancestral mansions.
For the aristocracy, inheritance is far more important than comfort and face, and if someone abandons the place inherited by the family and finds a place with no historical background to live, they will be teased and looked down upon by other nobles.
"Ms. Joy, I'd like to look at it a little longer, by the way, why are you selling this place?"
The woman pretended to smile charmingly:
"Mainly because this manor is useless to keep it, I wondered if I could make it work as it should, so that people who like this place can live here. ”
Of course, because the old guy is dead, she has to sell this place quickly, and then get real money to use it in all kinds of needs, such as paving the way for her husband's career, and buying expensive jewelry to show off in front of her friends.
Hervin says:
"But if I had such a beautiful estate, I would never sell it unless I needed money, it was beautiful and I could feel the care of its previous owner. ”
A hint of embarrassment flashed across the woman's face:
"Yes, it's a beautiful place, but it's more ...... to spend money on it every day."
Hewen waved his hand:
"Let's go inside and have a look. ”
The woman immediately stopped, then smiled again:
"Mr. Hervin come with me. ”
Joey took out the key and opened the door, then looked at Herwin expectantly.
Herwin could tell that Joey was eager to sell the house, as if if she couldn't sell it today, she probably wouldn't have a chance in the future.
As Herwin thought, Joey did cherish this guest.
Because almost no one in Wharton wants to buy the place except him.
Even though Joey has repeatedly lowered the price, their friends will persuade them to give up whenever someone wants to buy the place.
They just have to say one word.
The last person to live here was Old Jerry.
Herwin looked around at the interior of the house, in the style of the sixteenth century, and unlike the mere retro and parody of other decorations.
The moment he stepped through the door, he even felt like he had stepped back four hundred years.
It's as if the man who furnished the house lived in the sixteenth century, just like him.
Herwin looked at the wall above the hall where a two-meter-tall painting hung from it.
There are four people in the painting.
On the far left is a beautiful woman with a gentle smile, and in the middle is a handsome man with blond hair who is holding a small baby in his arm.
On the far right was a gloomy man in gray, who seemed to be much darker than the other two, but when he stood beside the man, there was a strange atmosphere between them.
Joey followed Hervin's eyes to the portrait.
When she saw the man and woman on her left and the baby in their arms, all the complicated emotions in her eyes dissipated, leaving only pure tenderness.
But when she looked at the man on her far right, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Joey stood beside Hervin:
"My parents and I, if you mind, I'll find someone to dispose of it right away. ”
Herwin asked in surprise:
"Don't you want this painting? ”
Joey didn't want Herwin to feel like a ruthless person, so he quickly smiled:
"I still have a lot of portraits of my father in my house, but I don't like this one. ”
Hervin looked at the gloomy man on the far right:
"Is it because of that person?"
Joey snorted:
"Mr. Herwen, he's not human. ”
Hewen was curious:
"Not human?"
Joy explains:
"I mean he's not a real person, he's a figure in my father's hallucinations, I've never seen this person when I've grown up to be so big, even my mother told me he doesn't exist at all.
"This guy is completely my father's imagination, that old guy has already lost his mind and gone crazy, what kind of ...... of the underground kingdom"
Joey paused, and suddenly realized that he had said too much:
"Sorry, nothing, anyway I don't like this painting very much, if you want to keep it, you can do it, if you don't, I can find someone to dispose of it for you. ”
Hewen nodded slightly:
"I'll handle it myself. ”
Joey Yixi:
"Mr. Herwen, you mean you're going to buy this place?"
Hervin says:
"It's too expensive. ”
Joey's face changed:
"Five million pounds is a bargain, you must know that this is the Wharton, the political center of the country, and it is very close to the West End, and Mr. Herwin knows that the inhabitants of the West End are rich people, nobles, and councillors, and there are always a large number of members of the Knights patrolling the vicinity......"
Hewen interrupted:
"You're right, but you can't sell this place to someone else, can you?"
Joey was silent for a moment.
She took two steps forward, allowing herself to be almost close to Hervin.
Mrs. Joy inherited her parents' beautiful looks and seductive figures, and she has always been confident in herself.
If it was to sell this place, she was willing to make some sacrifices, not to mention, this Mr. Herwin was actually very handsome.
Joey looked up at Hervin with a charming gaze and licked his lips:
"Mr. Herwin, I really need this money......"
Before she could finish speaking, she realized that she was pushed away by a pair of soft but strong hands.
A blonde girl was looking at her menacingly.
Mrs. Joy thought that the maiden was Hervin's mistress or something, which was not uncommon in Wharton, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"It's fine. Herwin patted Hara on the shoulder.
"Madam Joy, I can only pay nine hundred thousand pounds. ”
Joey shouted at the top of his voice:
"No way! This place is worth at least four million. ”
Although this place can't really be worth five million, she just opened her mouth first, if Hewen can agree, of course, it would be the best, but even if she doesn't agree, she can bargain slowly.
But 900,000 is too little, even if the price has been reduced continuously in the past few days, her reserve price has been bitten at two million
Hervin says:
"A million, a hundred thousand, more than 100,000 to pay for Ms. Joy's journey. ”
Joey was alarmed:
"What's the fare?"
Hervin says:
"The cost of getting to the casino here, and the time is running out, isn't Ms. Joy going to pay it back?"
If Ms. Joy had been telling the truth on some issues, Hervin would not have done so.
Joey bit her lip and looked at Herwin with watery aggrieved eyes:
"Mr. Herwin......"
Hervin says:
"How about the last price, one and a half million, so that your husband won't notice how much money you threw at the casino?"
Mrs. Joy agreed:
"Good!"
