Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Manor of River Hills Changes Hands, Grandpa Si’s Support
When everyone had delivered their gifts, all eyes turned to one particular man.
Feeling the attention on him, Julian Sia raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke nonchalantly.
"Claire, I’ve already had Charles Jordan transfer this mansion to your name."
The words fell.
Apart from Mason Quinn and George Xyler who already knew, the others were dumbfounded.
This is the historically rich and priceless Manor of River Hills, and he just gave it away?
Even Claire Green couldn’t help but be stunned, her eyes slightly absent-minded.
After a while.
She finally smiled lazily and said, "Brother is generous indeed."
Who would’ve thought.
Julian Sia suddenly leaned closer to her ear and whispered softly, in a voice only two people could hear.
"How could I not be willing if it earns me a smile from you, but Claire, you’ve taken both the deed and the manor, when will you consider me?"
Hearing this, Claire Green suddenly felt a bit flustered and her gaze awkwardly shifted away from him.
This man’s flirting skills are getting better and better.
Seeing the girl’s blushing ears, Julian Sia’s Adam’s apple moved as he chuckled happily.
"Julian, you two should tone it down a bit," George Xyler said with a few amused glances at the two, "We don’t mind, but the elders are watching."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Several amused voices immediately rang out.
"It’s all right, keep going, if you’re shy we’ll step out."
"We’re all open-minded people."
"That’s right, don’t listen to little George, he’s just a single guy who’s jealous."
George Xyler’s mouth twitched twice when he heard this; you really are my grandfather.
To call your grandson a single guy while praising Julian, you’re indeed the first.
"Brother, you should find a girlfriend sooner, or else Grandpa keeps calling you a single guy, you’re really losing face."
Isabella Xyler nudged George Xyler and offered a suggestion with a soft voice as if it’s for his own good.
As her brother, George Xyler easily saw through her thoughts, poked her forehead, and coldly chuckled.
"Don’t worry, even if I have a girlfriend I’ll still have time to keep an eye on you."
So you might as well drop your delusions.
Isabella’s face instantly fell, and she pinched him ruthlessly, then swiftly moved away.
Ouch.
George Xyler rubbed the pinched area, frowning slightly, this girl really pinched hard.
"What’s with your brother’s expression, he looks like he wants to eat you up."
John Sinclair looked at the girl who darted to his side, curiously speaking.
Isabella Xyler pouted, "Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s because he’s constipated."
Her voice wasn’t quiet, and the atmosphere in the lounge instantly turned odd, with everyone’s gaze shifting to George Xyler’s unhappy face.
Sure enough, there was a hint of truth in it.
At this moment, George Xyler wished he could hang the culprit up and give her a beating.
Pinching him is one thing, but she even spread rumors that he’s constipated.
"Hey George, maybe you should have Zeke Tuner come take a look at you."
Mason Quinn held his hand near his lips, trying not to laugh as he looked at him.
"No need, I’m fine."
George Xyler glanced at him coolly, gritting his teeth as he spoke word by word.
Seeing his expression, Isabella shivered, calculating the safe distance between them.
She hadn’t expected everyone to hear her casual remark.
Seeing through her little scheme at a glance, George Xyler quickly stepped forward and pulled her over, speaking lightly and freely, "You dare to say I’m constipated."
"Brother, I was wrong, I swear you’re not constipated, it’s me."
Isabella was quick to admit fault, slandering herself without blinking an eye.
George Xyler coldly chuckled, just about to speak when someone interrupted.
The belated Caleb Green arrived, holding Benjamin Green’s hand, with an elderly lady standing beside them.
Seeing the scene in the lounge, slightly puzzled, "What’s going on here?"
"Ask this girl yourself." George Xyler replied irritably, giving Isabella a tap on the head.
After Isabella quietly explained, Caleb Green was amused.
Benjamin Green’s gaze hadn’t left a certain person since they came in, and shortly, he freed his hand and dashed towards the girl like a firecracker.
"Olivia, did you miss me?"
Claire Green looked at the little attachment hanging on her leg, and her thoughts instantly returned to when she first met the little guy, he clung to her like an accessory.
She reached out to touch his soft hair and casually said, "No."
Hearing this, Benjamin Green sighed with a little adult demeanor, "I knew it. Next time you have to remember to miss me, this time I won’t be mad."
Listening to his innocent words, Claire Green nodded with amusement and responded lightly.
"Claire, happy birthday." Caleb Green handed over a gift, speaking with a smile.
Claire Green looked up at the man before her pretending to be calm and slowly accepted it.
"The gift is nice, thanks."
Seeing her accept it, Caleb Green’s inner tension immediately dissipated, his eyes filled with happiness.
Suddenly.
A loud bang drew everyone’s attention.
The elderly person standing at the door saw the girl’s face and their expression changed immediately, the cane in their hand falling to the ground in fright.
How is it possible.
"Grandma, are you alright?"
Caleb Green saw her like this, his brows furrowing, speaking with concern.
Before they left, he had advised Grandma not to come, but she insisted on seeing what kind of girl could make Julian bloom like a flower.
Unable to persuade her, he could only bring her along.
The elderly woman trembled as she gripped Caleb Green’s hand, "Caleb, who is she?"
Claire Green squinted slightly, observing the elderly person whose expression changed drastically upon seeing her, mulling it over inwardly.
Interesting.
This person’s eyes revealed fear as soon as they saw her, tsk, it seems there’s more to the original body’s disappearance.
"Let me introduce myself, Claire Green."
The girl’s eye corner lifted, the curve of her lips barely visible.
As soon as her words fell.
Everyone saw the elderly person take two steps back, their expression somewhat flustered.
With the surname Green, and looking so much like that person.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
No, it can’t be.
That person had said they followed instructions and discarded the baby, never to appear again.
The elderly person constantly reassured themselves mentally, but the fear in their heart refused to dissipate.
If that matter is exposed, no one at Green Estate would forgive her.
She absolutely cannot let this girl enter Capital City.
After taking a deep breath, the elderly woman directly bypassed the girl to look at Julian Sia, speaking with apparent goodwill, "Julian, how can such an unknown girl be worthy of you? Let Grandma Green introduce you to an accomplished lady."
Everyone present isn’t foolish; her reaction was extremely abnormal just now, and now she’s uttering such words, as if she’s afraid of something.
Claire Green chuckled lightly, speaking playfully, "I’m not worthy, then what exactly are you."
Trying to steal from her right in front of her, indeed, she could never let go of Green Estate.
Hearing this, the elderly woman scolded, "Didn’t your mother teach you not to interrupt when people are talking? Indeed, those from small places lack manners."
For a moment.
The atmosphere turned silent.
Old Master Sia looked at the elderly woman who had come to disrupt Olivia’s event, his face cold. Disregarding the reputations of the families, he directly shot back.
"I didn’t know when Sia’s matters turned to you to handle, let alone Olivia interrupting, even if Olivia throws you out in the next second, it’s perfectly justified."
"Old Sia, I didn’t mean it like that, it’s just that Julian is someone I’ve watched grow up too, I naturally hope his other half is the best."
Julian Sia smiled coldly, "Many have watched me grow up, what are you, to dare meddle in my affairs."
