Chapter 122: Promise

Kensington Garden Street, which is a street outside the garden on the east side of Kensington Palace, will be called the most expensive street in London and even the world in the future.

At present, the two more houses listed for sale are very high, and the title of the most expensive street has begun to emerge.

The real estate agent first took three people to one of them, with a total area of more than 1,500 square meters, and the building is a small building with a total of four floors, each floor is more than 260 square meters, and the yard also has a swimming pool and an exquisite small garden.

As soon as she entered the house, Peggy smelled the paint and casually asked, "Has this place just been renovated?" ”

"That's right, the landlord commissioned us to clean everything up when he moved out, the floor was freshly waxed, and the windows were replaced with new ......"

Locke turned around, with some frowns: "I always feel a little awkward, I don't like the decoration style here, I feel that there is some Indian flavor, who is the owner of this house?" ”

"You're right, the owner is a billionaire from India." Seeing that Locke didn't seem to be very happy with the house, the real estate agent went on to say, "If you're not happy with the renovation, we can contact the best designer......

"Don't worry." Locke waved his hand: "Let's go and see the next house first." ”

Because of historical reasons, there are still a lot of economic exchanges between India and the UK, and many rich Indians have invested large sums of money in the UK.

Just like Rajesh in the Big Bang Theory, he also chose Cambridge University to go to college.

The surrounding environment is indeed much better than the riverside villas I saw before, next to Kensington Gardens, and Hyde Park is also next to it, and not far from Buckingham Palace.

The other house is not far away, and the total area is larger, almost 3,000 square meters.

According to the real estate agent, the owner of the house is a British nobleman who mortgaged the house to the Bank of England for investment.

As a result, the investment fails, and if the house is not sold, it will be taken away by the bank, otherwise such a sought-after property will not be willing to sell unless it is absolutely necessary.

There is also a pool in the yard with an awning and loungers next to it, and several stone lions are placed next to the pool.

The garden at the entrance is exquisitely furnished, shaded by trees, and you can't see the inside from the outside.

Locke was very satisfied with the layout of the outside, and then went into the house to visit, the decoration was very gorgeous, the ground was made of camphor wood with a golden texture, with dark furniture, and the whole was more harmonious.

Seeing that Locke seemed to be satisfied, the real estate agent began to gush about the introduction:

"There are a total of 16 guest rooms, as well as an indoor swimming pool, a private cinema for 12 people, an independent gym, and an underground wine cellar of more than 300 square meters......"

Eventually, Locke got the real estate agent to contact the owner, an English nobleman in his fifties and sixties, meticulously dressed, and the title of viscount.

The two sides sat on the leather sofa in the living room and discussed, and the other party quoted twenty-three million pounds.

This price is actually on the high side now, and Locke wanted to lower the price, but after talking for a long time, the other party was only willing to be cheaper by two million pounds, so he never let go.

The property here is really in demand, and there are already buyers who have called out a price of 20 million pounds, and the old viscount has a little bit of a meaning to sit firmly in the Diaoyu Tai.

In the end, the two sides made a deal for 21 million pounds, which is more than 37 million US dollars at the current exchange rate, which is not much different from the 3,600 acres of farm that Locke bought.

In the end, Locke chose to take out a loan, with a down payment of 30 percent and the remaining ten years to be paid off.

At the beginning, in order to invest, the old viscount can be said to have hollowed out his family's funds, and made a big gamble with the family heirloom ranch and the mortgage of this house.

It's a pity that he was unlucky and failed in the end, but now with this money, the old viscount can pay off the arrears of the failed investment and go back comfortably to retire.

The bank did not lose money, and successfully recovered the loan to the old viscount, and once Locke could not repay the mortgage, the house would still be repossessed, and perhaps the house price would be much more expensive at that time.

Locke didn't expect that he would have to be a house slave again after he was reborn, but the funds on hand were all used, and the loss from withdrawal was not just a little interest, so he could only choose a loan.

With the cooperation of the bank, all the formalities were completed in four days, and Locke successfully became the owner of this property.

After the handover, Locke moved in that day to get ready to experience it, along with Peggy and Vanessa.

That night, Locke cooked by himself, and the three of them had dinner together, and Locke said, "Peggy and I will return to New York in two days, do you want to go back together?" ”

Vanessa knew that it was Locke asking if he would agree to work as an instructor at a security company.

I have to say that the price offered by Locke is quite good, not much different from her income as a model.

The point is that she doesn't actually like to be a model, being pointed at like a commodity by a group of people.

It's just that she was born in a slum, and if she wants to have a better life, it is most suitable to follow the path of modeling, and it is not surprising that she can use a gun as for her driving skills and guns.

has lived in the slums since she was a child, and she will be more or less exposed to some gang relationships, especially since she is still so beautiful, and she has been swallowed up without any skills and means.

went to New York to rob the bank, and it was Dorat who took the initiative to contact, and it happened that she was also worried about money, and the huge temptation made her finally decide to take the risk of cooperating.

After the last success, she was already determined to wash her hands, and although she spent a lot of money at the beginning, the rest was enough for her to enjoy life after she retired.

At first, she suspects that Locke has another purpose, or that Locke intends to recruit her to do something dangerous and make her die for Locke.

But these days of contact, Locke also succeeded in dispelling Vanessa's suspicions, because Locke is too rich.

Even if she goes to help Locke rob the bank every day, the money she can get in the end may not be as much as what Locke earns casually.

Locke also explained to his security company that there would be nothing dangerous in normal times, mainly responsible for protecting him and the people around him.

Because girls are more likely to be protected, there is a higher proportion of female bodyguards in security companies.

Vanessa is very fond of racing, and her driving skills are also very high, and the income promised by Locke is not much worse than being a model, and all kinds of benefits are guaranteed, and the work is longer than that of a model who eats youth.

After all things considered, Vanessa finally nodded and agreed to Locke's invitation.

As for whether Vanessa will be targeted by the police in New York, Locke has already investigated in advance.

In the original robbery, the police did not list the four long legs as suspects at all, and always thought that the robbers were four tall men in suits.

Even when the hapless policeman woke up and kept claiming that the four long-legged robbers were robbers, Vanessa and the others had already left, and there was not enough evidence to corroborate it, and no one believed his words as a small policeman.

Coupled with the fact that no one was caught in the robbery, the unlucky cop became a typical example, and he was fired directly, and now he has left New York and gone to his local town to become a town policeman.

So Vanessa won't have the slightest problem going to New York.

In order to celebrate, Locke opened a special bottle of red wine, and before they knew it, both of them drank a lot.

Feeling almost finished, Locke delivered Vanessa to the door of the room she had chosen.

Standing at the door, Locke looked at Vanessa's eyes and slowly moved forward, Vanessa leaned half of her body on the threshold, did not dodge, raised her head slightly, and the two quickly hugged each other.

Locke hugged Vanessa into the room and kicked it against the door, which slammed shut.

Vanessa faded from her body and showed a passion that seemed to melt everything, which brought Locke a very wonderful feeling.
