815 Chapter 814
Amy's thoughts were a mystery to Keira and the rest.
Keira, on the other hand, believed she had finally cald the little one down and let out a small sigh of relief.
Soon, the group arrived at Sean Church's place.
Calling it a "place" felt like an understatent—it was part of an exclusive vacation villa complex.
Sean greeted them at the entrance. As the cars pulled into the parking lot and everyone got out, Sean began explaining.
"I don't own a house in Clance. When I heard you were staying here, I couldn't find a decent property on short notice. So, I bought one of these villas to settle in."
Jenkins glanced around curiously before comnting, "Wait, I thought these vacation villas weren't for sale. How'd you manage to get one?"
These villas were essentially part of a luxury resort—a place reserved for the elite. Each villa operated like a high-end hotel room and wasn't ant for private ownership.
Sean responded casually, "Oh, I bought the entire complex. Now, you can all stay here for free anyti you want."
Jenkins was montarily speechless.
Buy the entire complex? Who even does that?
This was Clance, after all—one of the most expensive cities in the country.
Unable to hold back her curiosity, she asked, "How much did that set you back?"
Sean waved her off like it was nothing and held up five fingers.
"Five million?" Jenkins guessed.
Sean nodded.
His assistant, who was standing nearby, added, "In dollars."
Jenkins nearly tripped over her own feet.
Five hundred million dollars. And he called that "not much"?
Just how much money did this guy's family even have?
Well, she reasoned, considering he paid hundreds of millions in taxes back in Country A, maybe this kind of spending really wasn't a big deal for him.
Letting out an exaggerated sigh, Jenkins walked over to Erin and muttered, "It's ridiculous how people like him even exist. Makes the rest of us look pathetic."
Erin, sucking on a lollipop, tilted her head. "What's up?"
Jenkins grumbled, "Five hundred million dollars. For a vacation complex in the suburbs."
Erin's eyes widened. "That cheap? What a steal!"
Jenkins gawked at her. "Aren't you supposed to be broke? Stop pretending!"
With that, she let out a huff and walked ahead.
Erin was left standing there, looking a bit perplexed. "I an, I don't know exactly how much money I have, but I'm definitely not broke."
As the person overseeing an entire dical system, she couldn't possibly be short on funds. She simply had no concept of her own wealth.
Popping the lollipop back in her mouth, Erin trailed behind the group.
Sean, now leading the way, started explaining to Keira, Lewis, and Uncle Olsen, "This complex has twenty villas, all enclosed in a private area. I didn't like the noise, so I bought out the whole thing. Right now, I'm the only one living here, so it feels a bit empty. But if I decide to settle here permanently, I'll probably bring over more people."
His assistant nodded in agreent. "Yes, at least a few hundred staff mbers will need to move here to take care of Mr. Church. It's a sha, though. The estate we just finished building in Oceanion will go to waste now that you've decided to relocate, Ms. Olsen."
Keira paused mid-step.
So, wherever she went, Sean would just… follow?
The group continued chatting as they entered Sean's villa, which was clearly the crown jewel of the entire complex.
The space was massive, with luxurious furnishings and top-tier decor. Everything was fully equipped, right down to the smallest details.
Jenkins wandered around, taking it all in, while Erin headed straight to the kitchen to scope out the food situation.
Amy, having slipped out of Keira's arms, explored the villa on her own, her curious little steps darting here and there.
Lewis stuck close to Amy, ready to catch her if she stumbled.
As everyone busied themselves exploring, the sound of cars pulling up outside broke the calm.
Sean glanced toward the door. "That should be King Monbatten arriving."
Amy's head whipped around at the ntion of "king," her eyes glued to the doorway.
Sean stepped out to greet their guest.
Keira and the others, being guests themselves, stayed in the living room. Jenkins quickly made her way over to Keira and nudged her. "Look, when Monbatten cos in, you need to step up your ga. Be friendly, make an impression. Last ti, he couldn't even bother looking in my direction. But he looked at you a couple of tis, so you're already ahead of the rest of us."
Keira pursed her lips, feeling more than a little out of her depth. She was terrible at small talk and had no idea how to charm soone like that.
While she hesitated, Sean walked back in with Monbatten in tow.
Sean's deanor was noticeably more relaxed than when dealing with Keira. Even so, he remained polite as he introduced everyone in the room.
Keira stepped forward to shake hands with Monbatten.
"It's good to see you again, Ms. Olsen," Monbatten greeted with a warm smile.
Keira returned a polite smile. "Likewise."
Jenkins wasted no ti and jumped into the conversation. "King Monbatten, how have you been these days?"
Monbatten sighed. "I'm here seeking dical help. It's been a rough ti trying to find the right person."
Jenkins discreetly nudged Keira, urging her to take the lead.
Keira, now thoroughly out of ideas, was saved by a sudden interruption.
A small figure darted across the room and latched onto Monbatten's leg.
Keira turned in shock to see Amy hugging the king's leg, her face beaming with excitent.
"Daddy!" she exclaid.
