She Stuns the World - Chapter 754: Chapter 754

Jaden did not even bat an eyelid as he calmly said, "This piece of land belongs to the entire family. Athena shouldn't have to pay for the land and construction alone.
"Therefore, everyone has to split it equally. If you have more money, pay more. If you don't have much money, pay less. There's no need to feel pressured."
Brandon chimed in, "I agree. Although the cost of starting a new house is quite high, we will be able to gather enough one day. Before that, let Athena pay for it first."
Zayn said, "Jaden, Brandon, and I earn more, so we'll mostly cover the costs. Everyone else can contribute whatever they can. Don't make yourselves go through hardships just to save money."
Claire chuckled. "The restaurant's doing well, so I can contribute a little more."
Maria raised her hand and said, "I'll work hard to earn and save money."
Josie also raised her hand. "I've saved up a lot of money too. I'll give it to Mommy. I'll take care of Dolli's share."
Zayn laughed at the mention of this. "Then I'll cover Bello's share," he said.
Alaric was silent.
He could not help but feel that his earnings seemed insignificant in the family.
Wesley smiled and said, "I'm old and don't earn as much as you guys, so I won't snatch the limelight from you guys."
Athena raised her hand and said, "We're building this house to improve and enjoy our lives, not to get stuck in debt.
"In my opinion, no matter how much anyone earns, we should set aside one-third of our income each year to pay for the land and house costs, and the rest can be used for personal expenses.
"In my estimation, if we all work together, we'll pay it off in three to five years."
'Three to five years?' A few of the younger ones thought to themselves, 'Athena really thinks highly of us.'
Jaden and the other older members did not mind. "Alright, let's go with this. The three of us will contribute half of our income to the family, and everyone else can contribute a third."
Alaric and the others were speechless.
They felt somewhat belittled, and they had the evidence to back it up.
However, they were not big shots, so it was best not to reject this decision.
Athena smiled. "Does anyone have any objections to the location and design? If you don't like it, we can change again."
Everyone quickly shook their heads. "No, no, no. The location is very good. Let's follow this design."
At least a house like this would be worthy of Athena's status as a big shot.
Athena smiled. "This design is only a preliminary design. It still needs to be adjusted according to everyone's needs and preferences."
She pulled up her tablet and said, "Everyone, take a look at this real-time satellite map. You can view the entire mountain and its surroundings from all angles. Feel free to pick any spot you like to build your own house, and you can design it however you see fit..."
Luna was really curious and wanted to stay and listen to how the Donovan family would plan their new house, but she did not think that was a good idea.
Hence, she stood up and bade farewell to everyone. "I have a drama performance tomorrow night. I have to revise my script tonight, so I'll go back first."
Jaden and Zayn stood up and sent her out together.
Jaden did it out of personal feelings.
Zayn did it out of respect. After all, Luna was considered his mentor.
However, Zayn only sent Luna to the door.
Jaden sat in Luna's car and sent her out of the neighborhood.
In the car, Jaden was silent for a moment before he said, "About the new house we're building... I'm not sure how to design my own building. Could you give me some advice?"
Luna blushed again and said in a low voice, "Yes, sure."
At the entrance of the Donovan family's villa, Zayn watched Luna's car drive away. Afterward, he nonchalantly glanced at the slightly rustling bushes across the street and then turned to enter the gate.
