Chapter 1076
Chapter 1076 This House Is Not Yours at All!
Once decided, James took along these twenty people with him and entered Lakeside Garden. Among these
twenty, there were Donald and Yvette as well.
There was no way for both Donald and Yvette to give up such a golden opportunity! They had always been
suspicious regarding James owning a house in Lakeside Garden. Therefore, they wanted to find out whether
James was lying.
In the meantime, the rest were completely mesmerized by the surrounding environment as soon as they set foot
inside Lakeside Garden. As the most luxurious and top-tier villa neighborhood in Eastcliff, Lakeside Garden had a
magnificent environment.
Unlike James, Donald and Yvette's facial expressions blackened with annoyance. After strolling for a while, Yvette
suggested with a hinting manner, "Mr. Cunningham, why don't you take us to look around your house first?"
Upon hearing Yvette's suggestion, everyone simultaneously looked at James.

As if aware that someone in his group of old friends would ask him such questions, James was well-prepared for
the situation. He nodded slowly, unfazed by Yvette's sudden ‘friendly’ suggestion. "Sure! Let's all go and have a
look. Oh, by the way... my house might be slightly messy inside since it hasn't been renovated yet. | apologize in
advance for any inconvenience."
Everyone laughed and said, "Oh, James, no need for apologies. Don't all houses that haven't been renovated
look that way?"
"James, you're still the competent one out of us bunch!"
"Yeah... Never have | expected that | would be able to visit Lakeside Garden in my lifetime. It's all thanks to you,
James!"
"I've mentioned it before, haven't I? James is definitely not mediocre. It turns out | was right! James is indeed the
most competent one among us all!"
One after another, everyone was praising James' capability. Seeing this, James felt ever so proud. Then, he took
everyone to a villa that he had negotiated in advance. "Everyone, this is my house. Have a look around."
It was a relatively ordinary villa, and it could only be classified as average compared to all the other villas in
Lakeside Garden. The highest selling price could only be fetched somewhere below the 100 million mark even if
the property was up for sale within the housing market. But of course, one must be qualified enough to be able
to afford a house here.
Price was never the key factor for one to purchase a house in Lakeside Garden. To reside in Lakeside Garden, one
had to have a prestigious social standing. Whether or not these houses were up for purchase, they must undergo
the approval of Billy Newman! And in the entire Eastcliff, not many could get Billy's affirmation.
Sure enough, although this villa looked ordinary, it was much better than The Grand Garden, where Matthew and
the rest of James' family currently lived. Anyone would feel delighted once they had seen every corner of this
house. Large gardens at both front and back of the house, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a balcony with a
view, and a river-viewing balcony....
Looking around the house, everyone could not help but start imagining the full face of the house once it had
finished renovation. Everyone even praised James with admiration written all over their faces. Only Donald and
Yvette kept silent. Their facial expressions were full of utter dissatisfaction.

"I can't believe that this guy is actually capable enough to buy a house in Lakeside Garden. | must be imagining
things!" Donald muttered under his breath. Trailing beside him, Yvette frowned. Then, she suddenly spoke. "Dad,
the renovation work hasn't even started yet. Who knows if this house is really his?"
Upon hearing that, Donald widened his eyes. "You mean... this house may not belong to him? He's simply
pretending?"
At once, Donald regained himself. He immediately wanted to run over and expose James for his lies.
Seeing this, Yvette immediately grabbed Donald and stopped him in his tracks. She then whispered, "Dad, don't
rush. I'll check first!" As she said that, Yvette ran to one side and made a call to her friend. Meanwhile, on James’
side, he was still indulging in the hype with a complacent look on his face with Helen next to him. In contrast
with James" current prideful demeanor, Helen breathed a sigh of relief. By the looks of things, it looked like they
did not blow their own covers in front of these people. Deep down, she was also a little more grateful to Liam.
This time, Liam had helped them keep sof their dignity. All of a sudden, Yvette walked in from outside. She
immediately asked, "Mr. Cunningham, when exactly did you buy this house?"
Taken aback by Yvette's question, James was stunned for a moment. Next, his facial expression turned slightly
embarrassed. "Uh... I-l can't recall the exact date and day. Anyhow, it was a few months ago." Upon hearing that,
Yvette guffawed. "Mr. Cunningham, you can drop your act now! This house is not yours at all!"
