Chapter 47 Have you ever had another woman in the car?

As soon as Adam spoke, Claudia and Maisie looked at Tom with questioning eyes. They saw him as a rich son-in-law and wondered why he had reacted so quickly to remind Reeva not to be fooled by Lachlan. Tom felt guilty because he knew he was just as calculating. He brought Claudia and her family here today just to impress them with the villa He knew they were all vain and wanted to show off.

If it weren't for Lachlan, Tom could have easily convinced them that they didn't need such an expensive villa. But now, after being stimulated by Lachlan's words, Claudia's family was not so easily fooled. The saleswoman showed them around all afternoon but did not give in to Tom's demands or show any respect for his status as a wealthy second-generation heir. Tom felt like he had been outsmarted and embarrassed himself.

"What stringing along? Let's go back home and think about which one we want, then come back another day!" Tom said with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

As soon as the words fell, the saleswoman sneered, "Why don't you put down a deposit first, sir? Then tell me which one you're interested in and I'll reserve it for you."

Tom's face immediately darkened at her words. "Didn't I say we need to think about it?" he replied.

"Pfft! I bet you can't even afford it! You poor people come here pretending to be something you're not just to make yourselves feel good," the saleswoman said disdainfully.

Claudia was instantly furious upon hearing this, while Maisie and Adam felt their faces flush with embarrassment. They were all very concerned about their image and being mocked like this made them want to craw! into a hole.

"Tom! Are you just trying to placate me today? Lachlan can afford to live here, why can't we? I don't care what anyone says; we have to buy today! You're worse than that poor guy!” Claudia yelled in frustration before finally starting a tantrum.

"Smack!"

As the words fell, there was a loud slap.

Tom, with a large palm, fiercely struck Claudia's face.
