Once everyone got out of the car, they eagerly asked Alaric, "Is your taxi broken?"
Alaric shook his head. "No, we've arrived at my neighborhood."
They had already noticed the prominent engravings of "Mid-Level Mountain Garden" and were astonished. "You live here?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Alaric rubbed his neck. "We only moved here a couple of months ago. The scenery is nice, and there's plenty of shade. Let's go in."
He pulled out his resident card, swiped it to open the gate, and led the way.
As they walked through the entrance, everyone was struck by the beautiful surroundings and the villas.
Someone thought, 'Only very wealthy families could live here, right? How could the Donovan family, rumored to be poor, afford such a place? Was Alaric bringing us to a relative's house and pretending it was his?'
Of course, they weren't foolish enough to ask such a sensitive question, so they chatted about the scenery instead.
Daisy's brows furrowed tightly.
Daisy thought, 'If Alaric's family is truly struggling, why would he make such an outrageous claim in public? Wasn't he afraid that the lie would be exposed, leading to even greater embarrassment?'
This side of Alaric left her unimpressed.
After about ten minutes, Alaric stopped in front of the electronic gate at his home, swiped his face to unlock it, and cheerfully said, "This is my house. No one's home, so feel free to look around."
Everyone stood in shock, taking in the exquisite, spacious villa before them. They hesitated to move.
"Wait, is this really your home?" one of the guys asked cautiously. "I'm not doubting you/ I just haven't seen such a big villa before and feel a bit overwhelmed."
Alaric smiled, recalling his own initial surprise when they bought the villa. "When we first got it, I couldn't believe it either.
"But many people say this place has bad location and won't live here, so we got it at a very low price. Don't worry. You're here to have fun. Nothing will affect you."
"Oh, that makes sense," they replied.
A boy feigned curiosity and asked, "Is this villa haunted?"
Alaric shook his head. "No, it's just that they say officials who live here end up in jail, and businesspeople go bankrupt, but we don't believe in that stuff."
A girl asked, "How much did your family pay for it?"
Alaric thought for a moment and said, "I think around 6 million dollars."
Everyone went silent and thought, '6 million dollars wasn't a small amount. Is that something a poor person could afford?'
As they walked, Alaric explained, "This is the annex where my sisters live. You probably shouldn't go inside.
"And this is the garage with my makeshift basketball hoop. Pretty cool, right?"
Daisy couldn't help but ask, "Does your family have a car?"
Alaric replied, "My dad has one, my brother has two, and my sister has one, four in total. I don't have one."
Daisy was stunned and thought, 'Four cars? Surely he was joking.'
Unable to resist, she pressed on. "Where are those cars now?"
Alaric answered, "My family members took them out for work and won't be back until tonight."
While speaking, he had already pushed open the entrance door to the main building. "Come in and have a seat."
As they stepped inside, everyone was once again taken aback.
The decor, furnishings, and appliances in the house weren't just luxurious. They were of high quality.
With crystal chandeliers, solid wood floors, and brand-name appliances, nothing was lacking.
This was far beyond what a poor person could afford.
One of the guys punched Alaric on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Dude, your family is loaded! A house, cars, and such expensive furniture and appliances... It must cost a fortune!"
"That's not it." Alaric quickly clarified. "The previous owner threw in all the furniture and appliances when we bought the house, so we didn't spend much."
"Come on, you're too humble," the guy said.
Alaric smiled and didn't elaborate further. "Have a relax. I'll go get some food from the kitchen."
Alaric said, "Just a reminder, don't go into my family's rooms. I can show you my room later."
Alaric shook his head. "No, we've arrived at my neighborhood."
