I’m Someone Else

Moreover, they even explicitly prohibited Thomas from even bringing up money into this. The moment Thomas elaborated on his idea of purchasing an estate using his own money, they would reprimand him without hesitation.

“Enough with the money talk. Is it possible that you look down on the Elliott Family? Either way, our family owns numerous estates, and most, if not all, are unoccupied. So, we can give you one.”

“Thomas, I will see it as you not considering me your friend if you keep insisting on this matter!” William added.

“Thomas, are you planning to insult the Morton Family with money as well? For your information, our family has decided to befriend you because we value your character. It has nothing to do with monetary value!”

Thomas was rendered speechless. He had only heard of hard selling before, but it was truly his first time encountering someone forcibly giving away their estate. Still, a sense of warmth rushed through his heart after hearing what these three gentlemen from the three families had said. It was impossible that Thomas wouldn’t feel touched by the kindness the Elliott Family, the Peralta Family, and the Morton Family had shown him.

Suddenly, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret for mentioning to Quincy that he wanted an estate. Initially, he thought of letting Quincy contact the three families and inquire about the average price of the estates in Irieson. Afterward, he would borrow some money from Olivia to purchase one within his budget. However, he could even save himself the hassle of borrowing money from Olivia now that the three families were keen to give him one for free.

As for Quincy, he was also powerless against these three old men as well. Although he held a rather substantial amount of liquidity, he couldn’t deny that he didn’t own any estates. After all, he had been developing his business in Capitalis in his early years. Even after his return to Irieson later, considering that it was only him and his son, Quincy figured it was enough for them to live in a decent-sized villa. Thus, he had no choice but to ask the three families if they had any vacant estates. Not once did he mention Thomas’ name, for he intended to purchase the estate with his own money and then give it to Thomas as a gift.

Alas, he had overlooked one particular detail—the three families knew Thomas wanted to establish the Clifford Family. So, when they heard that Quincy was looking for an estate that wasn’t for him, the three families swiftly came to a realization that Quincy was asking around on behalf of Thomas. Hence, the three families offered Thomas the estates almost the very second they heard that he was interested in one. Suffice it to say, they had spent a long time picking one estate out of their many assets. Frankly, he hadn’t even needed to ask to purchase one from them as they were more than willing to serve those estates to him on a silver platter.

In the end, Thomas made his choice and picked the estate the Morton Family had prepared for the occasion. Furthermore, he called John and sincerely expressed his gratitude toward him and informed the man that he would move in tomorrow. After that, he called Chloe, telling her to pack up her things and prepare for moving day. Once he did all that, he came to Olivia’s bedroom and knocked on the door. Knock! Knock! Knock!
