CHAPTER 699 HOMESCHOOLING

As the car moved away from the Henderson’s, Lydia sat on the passenger side, looking out at the

rapidly receding landscape and wondering. holds © this.

"Still thinking about Marie?"

Leo said with a smile as he drove smoothly.

Lydia's eyes were slightly red: "From now on she will be Henderson’s only princess, and with all the

pressure from all sides, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."

Marie said she wanted to become a woman like her.

But how easy is it?

Only she knows how she has come through these five years, and how hard it has been for her.

Born in the Henderson family, Marie may not have had the pressure of starting a business from

scratch, but more than that, she had to face all kinds of internal family battles.

This is more treacherous than starting with nothing.

"And, I'm afraid she's being used."

Lydia said, "That woman just sees Marie as a tool for her to secure her position, and doesn't think

about Marie at all."

Leo smiled, "Actually, I think it would be better to let her face difficulties."

"What did you say?"

Lydia's eyebrows raised and she sat straight up, looking at him with some irritation.

With such a big reaction, Leo was startled, and then smiled, "Is it still called life if you don't experience

twists and turns?"

"You can't be protective of her, sometimes it's the fall and the pain that tells you how good you are, isn't

it?"

Hearing Leo's words, Lydia leaned back again and was silent.

Fearing that Lydia would think too much, Leo added with a smile, "Don't worry, I have my eyes on

Maisy---- if she is really using Marie, I will be the first to not let her go."

Marie wants to sharpen himself, and Leo is all for it.

But Maisy used Marie to consolidate her position in the Henderson family, and then Leo would not have

gotten what she wanted.

After all, Valenham has JWCC, but it's right there under his name.

Commerce Maestro also sits in Valenham, and Leo has the final say on investment matters.

When Leo said this, Lydia felt much better.

She peeked at Leo's face and stared for a long time.

It is indeed much more reassuring to be married to a man like this.

"Again, I actually don't think there's anything wrong with my father-in-law training Marie, and I support

her."

Leo said with a smile.

Lydia froze for a moment, "Why?"

Leo suddenly let out a bad smile, his eyes fell on Lydia's voluptuous and mature body: "A married

daughter is like water that has been spilled, how can you take it back?"

"......"

Stunned, Lydia suddenly blushed and said with a face full of annoyance, "Who wants to marry you?"

"Well now, I don't have anything to do with the Henderson family, and you can't rely on me anymore!"

Lydia said angrily.

Leo, however, looked at her with a soft gaze, "It doesn't matter, as long as you want, I can make you

the princess of all of Pompeii."

Lydia hurriedly averted her gaze, not daring to meet Leo's eyes again.

She found that the more time she spent with Leo, the more often he would say things that made her

body tingle.

Especially since the last line of defence had been breached long ago, Lydia was quite reserved, but

was all but secretly holding back.

"Honey, since we are going to be in Valenham for a long time, we have to find a place to live."

Lydia suddenly thought of something and said to Leo.

Leo nodded, "It's time to buy a house."

Originally they had planned to go back to live at Henderson’s, but Henderson’s was now headed by

Maisy, and that she had discovered Lydia's true origins, and although Lydia had not really been kicked

out, given her nature, she would never live at Henderson’s again.

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Lydia asked.

Leo was about to reply and he suddenly saw a huge billboard not far away with the words 'From

JWCC, Dongcheng Hutong' written in big golden letters.

Noticing Leo's gaze, Lydia also looked over with him.

When she saw the words 'Dongcheng Hutong', her face changed slightly and her head shook: "A villa?

We can't afford to buy it."

This is Valenham, a super tier one city in the world, where villas are a speciality, not to mention that the

price of a square metre has soared to sky-high prices, and more importantly, there is no market for it!

Only those business tycoons of JWCC are eligible to purchase one.

In Valenham, living in a villa is a symbol.

The royal family of Valenham, for example, lived basically in villas.

Construction and decoration is one aspect, they are more concerned with feng shui.

Good courtyards, built in good feng shui locations, sell for a couple of hundred million in total.

"Why can't we afford it?"

Leo was puzzled.

Since we are buying a house, we definitely want to buy the best.

JWCC produced the building, Dongcheng Hutong, which happens to be the ideal housing in Leo's

mind.

Fresh in air, away from the strife of the city.

Lydia sighed, "Our L Group will soon be entering the Valenham market, we have to build distribution

here, we also have to see the market situation here, if it is suitable, Pearl's headquarters will have to be

moved to Valenham. All these have to be counted in the investment and daily expenses, how can we

have spare money to buy a villa? It's too extravagant."

Lydia plans to buy a 100-odd sq ft home in Valenham and that will be enough.

Seeing that Lydia was so insistent, Leo said nothing more and smiled, "All yours."

Lydia was still a bit dissatisfied with Leo spending money so lavishly, after thinking about it, she added:

"You have to change this habit in the future, especially in front of Emilia, she is only five years old. You

can't spend money freely."

Seeing that Lydia had started homeschooling again, Leo begged for mercy.

"Okay, I get it."

Since she decided to go for a house, Lydia booked her preferred property ---- in a neighbourhood

called 'Spring River City' on the third ring road.

The price is 80,000 per square foot, a price that in other cities, even in the Pearl, would be enough to

catch up with a villa, but in Valenham it is only the price of a light luxury listing.

Leo and Lydia arrived at the sales office of Spring River City and prepared to walk in.

Suddenly, a supercar stopped in front of the two men.

An unruly young man with sunglasses and an Armani suit shirt walked out with his arm around twin

sisters who were perfect in both figure and looks.

Leo and Lydia frowned and made way for him.

The unruly young man, however, walked in without even a word of thanks, without even giving them a

proper look.

Lydia didn't mind, and looked at the listings with Leo.

"Let's have this set, full payment."

Lydia was quick to finalise and intended to pay.

"Are you ...... Lydia Henderson?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind.

Looking back, it was the unruly young man with his arms around his two twin sisters who was looking

at Lydia with a surprised look.

Lydia frowned slightly, "You are?"

"It's me, Quinn Mills, the one who used to chase you and was rejected by you."

The youth said half-jokingly.
