Chapter 175
Gina was certainly astounded.
Skywater Bay! The mansion district with mansions that money could not buy, and the
developer was none other than Stan Quill!
Bigwigs who were either rich or important from across the land lived there…
Still, Gina soon realized something–Chris‘ company was just worth 1.2 billion dollars. What allowed him to get a mansion there?
“Did you buy one of the mansions?” she asked.
Chris shook his head. “Nope. My partner gave it to me.”
“Whoa…” Gina gaped. “Gave it to you?”
How important was Chris or his partner that he would be given such a glamorous residence?!
“Yeah.” Chris nodded and extended another invitation. “I can see that you’re tired, Mrs. Lane. Why don’t you stay the night at my place?”
“Oh, for sure!” Gina nodded repeatedly–living in that place was a status symbol, and she had always dreamed of it!
She was not about to say no when Chris invited her!
Taking Helen by the hand, she said eagerly, “Come on, Helen. We’ll stay the night at Skywater Bay.”
Helen shot her a look, speechless. “There’s still work waiting at the office. I’ll head home instead.”
“Oh, it can wait for a night,” Gina reasoned. “We’ll be back tomorrow morning anyway!”
Peter’s eyes were burning with enthusiasm beside them. “Yeah, we’re only staying one night anyway.”
“You have nothing to worry about, Helen,” Chris added just then. “I’m just being neighborly, since it’s inconvenient for you and your family. I live near here, so we can come back quickly if anything happens.”
“Yeah! See? Chris is obviously offering help for our sake. How could you be so ungrateful?” Gina snapped.
Helen was speechless. “I’m not being ungrateful—we have a house! Why would we spend the night at someone else’s place instead?”
“What’s wrong with spending the night at a friend’s house?” Gina retorted righteously. “Chris is your classmate, too—that makes him more than your average friend.”
Before Helen could refuse again, she turned toward Peter and said, “Bring the car over. We’re all going to Skywayter Bay.”
“Alright!”
Helen was totally speechless, while Chris chuckled beside them. “It’s alright, Helen. I’m living

in the mansion alone anyway, so you and your family would liven up the place.”
Helen naturally could not argue against that point and muttered guiltily, “Thank you, Chris.‘ She did not know that Chris had his own plan in mind.
He was really worried that Helen’s ex–husband would come to the hospital. If a confrontation ensued, his lies would be exposed right then.
As such, his priority was to get Helen away from here.
Soon, Peter drove them to the gates of Skywater Bay, with Chris flashing his card from the seat next to him.
The security guards respectfully made their way, and Peter was in a great mood as he drove up the hill.
The place was a hidden natural paradise!
They soon arrived at Chris‘ mansion, which was halfway up the hill.
It was renovated and furnished grandly like a palace!
