Chapter 612: Endure the Rain
To be honest, this didn't fit Cheyenne's aloof and cool demeanor at all, but Benson insisted that she should wear more for the baby's sake, so she had to comply.
As they exited the elevator, approaching the rotating glass door in the lobby, the two handsome security guards who had been holding umbrellas immediately put on white gloves and warmly stepped forward to hold the door open for them.
"Mr. Gibbs, watch your step, it's slippery," one of the guards said.
"Alright, thank you," Benson replied.
With one hand supporting Cheyenne's arm and the other guarding her side, fearing that the glass door might suddenly close and hurt her, Benson's considerate and gentle manner drew a wave of bitter jealousy from the other women in the lobby.
They secretly thought, "What a waste, what a waste. How could such a handsome and gentle man be with a woman who's so fat, short, and plain?"
Is it just because she's younger?
But Cheyenne didn't have the time to pay attention to their looks of disdain or envy. She sat openly next to Benson, lifted her footsteps and walked out of the door. "Cheyenne, I'm over here," Yvonne waved at her.
"And I'm here too," Jay poked his round bald head out from under his raincoat. A raindrop hit him, sending a chill through his body, and he quickly shrunk back into the raincoat. Benson hadn't expected anyone from Wind Hall to come and pick her up, especially not on a small electric scooter.
He smiled lightly and instructed her, "Cheyenne, wait here for me. It's better to drive there instead."
"Okay."
Cheyenne knew Wind Hall was poor, but she hadn't expected them to be so poor that they didn't even have a small car for getting around.
In contrast, Leah from Almond Hall drove a Bentley while even Kyson, who didn't have a driver's license, got himself an extended Lincoln.
Not to mention Moon Hall, the richest of the four halls, where even the apprentices reportedly earned tens of thousands of dollars a month.
Her grandfather, Layne, who could sell a painting for millions, but was still so poor that he didn't wear socks with his sandals in the summer because he was afraid of using them up. Cheyenne was actually curious where her grandfather's money went... she hadn't seen him with any kind of lavish lifestyle outside that would require it.
Before long, Benson drove his luxury car out of the garage and parked in front of Cheyenne. His discreet yet luxurious car struck a blow to the self-esteem of the three of them. Jay bit his finger and looked at it several times, trembling as he spoke, "Yvonne, I also want to ride in a car."
As soon as he said that, Yvonne promptly knocked him on his bald head, "What car are you talking about? Isn't my electric scooter nice?" Jay tearfully replied, "Yes."
"Since it's nice, you can ride it. I'll take the car."
"Do you have the heart to watch me being damaged by the wind and rain?"
"Silly child, you should take advantage of the rainy day to water them more and absorb some nitrogen from the air, so you can grow taller!"
In fact, there was absolutely no problem with Benson's car fitting the three of them, but the electric scooter couldn't be placed in the trunk, so Jay had to ride alone behind them.
Wind Hall.
Upon arrival, Cheyenne was stunned
by the luxurious buildings before her, her small mouth agape in astonishment. Even Benson, who had seen a lot, raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly. "I wanted to buy a mansion in Onistead at first, but
then I found out the price was too high, so I gave up." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
If even Benson found it expensive, then it must be truly extravagant.
Listening to the two talk about the price of the Onistead courtyard, Connor proudly patted his chest and exclaimed, "Master, you don't know about this place? This is the ancestral home of the Edwards family!"
"In the past, our ancestor served as
the imperial physician in the court, and the emperor personally bestowed this mansion upon him Originally, it was a prince's mansion, but it was reclaimed when he got into trouble and was confined to the imperial prison. The mansion was then turned into a medical office."
"This mansion covers more than 800 square meters, with pavilions, towers, waterside pavilions, and rockeries, It is divided into five courtyards: East, West, South, North, and Central. There are over 500
rooms in total. The front yar@is now used as a hospital, while the back yard is for residence and training of students."
Cheyenne looked bewildered. "I had no idea; my grandfather never told me about this."
"How is that possible?" Yvonne gasped in surprise, covering her mouth. "The courtyard wasn't originally over 800 square meters; it was just a little less than 600. Later, Layne bought over 200 square meters to expand the area, and its owner is you."
"He said you're his only granddaughter, and at that time, your grades were poor, and you weren't attractive. He was afraid that your future wouldn't be good, so he bought this property for you as a precautionary measure."
"If ever something happened to him, you would still have a place to live."
Benson suddenly added, "Old Mr. Edwards is really good to you. Over 200 square meters of this area cost at least fifty million according to the current house prices in Onistead. Historical old houses of this type are even more expensive, basically priceless."
