Chapter 80
Ms. Cooper shot a cold glance.
The young girl looked flustered.
"What are you standing there for? Forgot the capital verification process?"
"Let the wrong person in, and can you handle the responsibility?"
"They said during training... if the card is fine, it's not my fault."
"Naive."
"This line of work relies on judgment."
"You need a sense of who can afford it and who can't."
"Don't waste your effort."
The girl pressed her lips together.
"Thank you, Ms. Cooper. But I'm still learning. It doesn't hurt to check."
She turned to Sophia Sullivan.
"Following procedure, we need to verify your funds."
"If everything is in order, you can view the property."
She politely gestured to David and Isabella Sullivan.
"Sir, Ma'am, please have a seat."
"Have some tea. It won't take long."
David quickly waved his hand.
"Please, don't trouble yourselves..."
His palms were sweating.
Was his daughter serious?
Wouldn't the fund check expose them?
Maybe they should just leave now.
Isabella appeared calm.
She sat down and picked up a teacup.
But her fingers trembled slightly.
"This way, please—"
Sophia nodded and entered the office.
"Putting on an act..." the woman sneered, arms crossed.
Ten minutes later.
They emerged from the office.
The woman immediately blocked their path.
"Fake card, right?"
No one paid her any attention.
"Miss, are you sure you don't want to reconsider?" the young girl, Gigi, asked carefully.
"Yes."
"Perhaps you'd like to see the actual site? The environment and location are clearer in person..."
"I saw the model."
"But..."
How could a model compare to the real thing?
It's a multi-million dollar house!
"Quite the performance," the woman laughed mockingly. "Gigi, consider this a lesson. Remember it for next time."
Gigi looked down, embarrassed.
"Ms. Cooper, you've misunderstood..."
"Misunderstood? Was the card real?"
"It was real!"
"Dreaming?" The woman rolled her eyes.
Gigi felt helpless.
How could she make her believe?
"Miss, are you absolutely sure?" Gigi confirmed again.
"Just prepare the contract."
Sophia's tone was even.
She had done her research beforehand.
She knew the layout, orientation, hardware, and software.
No need to see more.
Gigi's eyes lit up.
"Payment method?"
"Full payment."
David was stunned.
Was his daughter really buying?
He opened his mouth to speak.
Isabella pinched his side.
"Don't say a word."
Gigi took the bank card with both hands.
She prepared the contract.
"If everything looks correct, we can process the payment now."
Sophia nodded.
"Go ahead."
Gigi processed the payment in a daze.
The contract was signed.
Finance confirmed the receipt of five million.
She finally snapped back to reality.
Oh my god!
She sold the crown jewel property on her second day?
Five million, full payment!
A commission of several hundred thousand!
She couldn't help but grin foolishly.
She composed herself after seeing the woman's livid face.
The woman's eyes widened in shock.
"She actually bought it?"
"The contract is signed."
Sophia walked straight past.
"Mom, Dad, shall we go pack?"
David was bewildered.
"Pack what?"
"Clothes and daily necessities for the move."
David nodded numbly.
"Right... should pack..."
But what new home?
Even after leaving the sales office, David felt dizzy.
Back home.
He sat down, rubbing his hands.
"Clara, you bought a house?"
Sophia nodded.
"A villa?"
She nodded again.
"Full payment?"
Another nod.
David was silent for a long time.
"Such a big decision... why didn't you discuss it?"
Sophia explained softly.
"The old house has needed repairs for years. It's normal to get a new one."
"I wanted to surprise you."
David frowned deeply.
"How much?"
Sophia held up five fingers.
"Five million?"
His heart trembled.
"Where did you get that much money? From credit cards? Or..."
