The Cloud Peak Mountain Villa was located in Cloud Peak Mountain, the prime location of Midsea, with an altitude of 900 meters, with excellent geomancy.
It once had the opportunity to become the top wealthy area in Midsea.
Many years ago, Quinn was one of the developers of this villa. Unfortunately, a certain incident cut off the project's capital chain and halted construction.
The Cloud Peak Mountain Villa eventually became an unfinished building.
Although it was difficult for the Thrussell family to start the Cloud Peak Mountain Villa again this life, everyone knew that the Thrussell family had been thinking about it.
That was the Thrussell family's opportunity to become one of the first-class families in Midsea.
It had also become a thorn in the heart of the Thrussell family.
So Freya used it to attack Murray.
After Freya put forward the conditions, the Thrussell family dispersed. When they left, they all had playful smiles.
The Thrussell family spent their entire life but unable to realize the wish. What could Murray, the live-in son-in-law, do to fulfill this?
Murray cooked himself some noodles, and after eating, he went to the small garden on the rooftop to relax.
Freya was tired of living with him, so Murray took the initiative to get divorced.
This was not because he was defending his dignity, but because he wanted to preserve the reputation of the Thrussell family.
No matter how much Freya disliked him or despised him, Murray didn't want her to be criticized as discarding the helper.
But he didn't expect that the Thrussell family didn't realize his good intentions, but instead kept making harsh demands because of pride.
In the past, the words "Cloud Peak Mountain Villa" would have made Murray despair, but at this moment, they couldn't make him be in any undulating moods.
"Just wait, I will definitely rebuild the Cloud Peak Mountain Villa," Murray's eyes flashed with light.
He stayed on the rooftop for an hour, then adjusted his emotions and went downstairs.
When Murray walked into the small hall after taking a shower, Freya in the back room suddenly raised her voice, "Charlotte, Abigail, we are going to meet at the Sunshine Club tomorrow, right?
"No problem, I will make time to go there.
"But you need to bring a few more handsome guys over. I've been exhausted from work these past few months.
"Meeting a few handsome guys to entertain our eyes, or some young stars are fine…" The woman joking with her best friends smiled sweetly, and her words clearly sounded in Murray's ears, stimulating his nerves somewhat intentionally.
Freya glanced at Murray entering the hall, so she closed the door with her backhand, and with a bang, the inner wooden door slammed shut.
The two were isolated.
Murray narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little irritated for no reason, but he quickly suppressed it… This night, the two of them seemed to be in peace with each other, but they didn't sleep well all night.
So when Chole's shouting sounded in the morning, the young couple climbed out of bed almost at the same time.
Murray and Freya came to the door and saw Chole and Quinn who had gotten up early, opening the Rolex that Murray had brought back to check.
They couldn't stop tutting.
"Ah, whose Rolex is this?
"Why just put it on the porch?" Chole stared at the Rolex, "The color is so new, it looks like someone just bought it. Whose watch is it?"
Although the three members of the Thrussell family earned millions of dollars every year, Quinn and Chole had always been reluctant to spend money on consumables.
Apart from buying a house, buying antiques, saving money, and expanding the scale of Spring Breeze Clinic, they hardly spent any money on eating, drinking, and having fun.
Therefore, the four cars in the garage were all mid-to-low level, and Freya's BMW only cost over 60,000 dollars.
So when she saw a Rolex worth several thousand dollars placed in the entrance hall, Chole felt inexplicably a little more excited.
Murray hesitated and said, "Mom, this watch…" Chole looked at Freya with intense eyes, "Freya, did you buy this watch for your father?"
Freya smiled bitterly, "Mom, this watch seems to cost thousands of dollars. My salary card is at your place. You don't know whether there is a large amount of capital flow?"
"That's right. Apart from giving the ungrateful man 1,500 dollars every month, you basically don't have other major expenses," Chole withdrew her gaze, and then her eyes lit up, "You didn't buy it, and it wasn't your dad or me. It must have been your brother-in-law.
"Your brother-in-law bought it. If he wore it himself, he would have put it on directly. There is no need to put it in a watch box and leave it in the entrance hall.
"It must be your brother-in-law who bought it for your dad," She looked happy, "Paddy is such a good boy."
Quinn's eyes also lit up, he took it and put it on his wrist, and said with a cheerful smile, "Yeah, it's just fit. It's really bought it for me."
Murray's scalp was numb and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Paddy, Paddy," At this time, Chole shouted to the second floor at the top of her lungs, "Did you buy this Rolex for your father?"
While she was shouting, Paddy and Mabel yawned, opened the door and walked out.
They drank a lot last night and stayed at the Thrussell family.
Mabel rubbed the eyes, "Mom, what watch?"
"What watch?" Chole deliberately made a serious face, "You want to give your father a surprise, don't you?"
"Rolex," Quinn raised his wrist and said in a swaying tone, "You bought so many supplements and also bought a Rolex,"
"Thousands of dollars, it's a bit extravagant," He seemed to be complaining, but in fact he was delighted, "Don't do this next time."
Murray opened his mouth, but in the end no sound came out.
Freya glanced at Murray, her pretty face was a little down. When would Murray be able to buy watch worth thousands of dollars for father and mother?
"Rolex?" Paddy trembled, looked at Mabel and rushed up. He was stunned when he looked at the Rolex on Quinn's wrist.
He didn't buy this watch.
Yesterday he presented supplements worth more than 7,500 dollars, how could he be willing to give a Rolex worth thousands of dollars?
"Paddy, are you pretending not knowing it again?
"You can win the Best Actor award." Chole also smiled brightly, "No need to pretend not to know. This watch was not bought by us, nor by you. Did it appear itself?
"We can guess that you want to surprise your father.
"You kid, you just like to play with such things." Her tone was indescribably doting, and compared to her bad attitude towards Murray, it was completely different.
Freya looked at Murray again, sighing secretly that if Murray bought this watch, how good it would be.
It's a pity that Murray even has to ask her to pay for the medical expenses.
In the past two days, he even took the initiative to divorce to defend his poor dignity.
"Father and mother, you are wise," Hearing what Chole said, Paddy's eyes rolled, and then he laughed loudly, "I knew I couldn't lie to you.
"I originally wanted to tell you later and give you a nice surprise, but I didn't expect you to find out so quickly.
"Dad, I was wrong at the birthday party, so this Rolex shows my intention to apologize," Paddy winked at Mabel, "I hope you like it, Dad."
Mabel immediately agreed and said with a smile, "Yes, after the birthday party, Paddy has been blaming himself. Dad, please accept it, otherwise Paddy will feel upset."
"We never blamed Paddy. He was also deceived," Chole patted Quinn on the shoulder, "Quinn, Paddy is full of filial piety, just accept it."
"I'll take it, I'll take it," Quinn laughed loudly and shook his wrist, the golden light shining, "Paddy, you are very good, very good."
Murray was about to turn around and leave to avoid everyone being embarrassed.
"Paddy is of course good," Chole glanced at Murray, "Compared to some ungrateful, small man intoxicated by success, he is ten times, even a hundred times better.
"They are both sons-in-law, so why is there such a big gap?
"One has never been filial to parents and is complacent about small achievements. The other is full of filial piety and spends money to make parents happy.
"Why are leaving? Learn it and see what your brother-in-law did.
"When are you going to buy a watch for us too?" Chole stopped Murray, "If you can't afford thousands of dollars, hundreds of dollars will do."
"Mom, how could Murray afford it?" Freya frowned slightly, "Besides, Murray also got back 300,000 dollars and signed a contract worth 1,500,000 dollars…"
"That's what he should do, otherwise the Thrussell family will be feeding a waste?" Chole did not give Murray a good look at all, "As for filial piety, what did he buy us?
"He finally got lucky and got the ginseng fruit, but ended up eating it all by himself.
"If he is filial, buy me a watch worth 15,000 dollars, and don't talk too much other nonsense," She looked at Murray with contempt, "Murray, can you afford it?"
Freya wanted to say something more, but seeing Murray's expression of silence, she became angry.
Didn't he want a divorce last night?
Why had he turned into a coward again now?
Didn't he dare commit to buying a watch worth 15,000 dollars?
"Stop talking about him, it's boring," Quinn raised his Rolex and said, "Here, take a look at this watch."
Chole and the others left Murray behind and leaned over to admire it with smiles on their faces.
"Ah, why don't the watch hands move?" Quinn suddenly discovered that the watch hands stayed at the time when it's more than seven o'clock last night, which was the time Murray came back, "Is it not wound up?"
Paddy frowned, "It shouldn't be this?"
Several people struggled, but Rolex still didn't move.
Chole frowned, "Is it broken?"
Quinn shook his head, "How is that possible?
"This is a Rolex, the latest model, and it costs thousands of dollars. How can it break easily?"
The four of them studied the Rolex hard, and Paddy even found a foreign language manual to see how to start it.
No matter how hard the four of them tried, Rolex remained motionless.
Quinn was so angry. He originally wanted to wear it to show off today, but Rolex didn't work.
Paddy was even more angry, "I'm gonna complain about it. How dare they sell me a broken watch."
Murray couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked up and picked up the Rolex.
Chole and the others were startled, "You ungrateful man, put it down quickly. This is the watch your brother-in-law bought."
"Let go, let go. If this watch worth thousands of dollars is damaged, can you afford to pay for it?"
Freya was also preparing to pull Murray. Father and mother were angry and it was easy for them to take the opportunity to vent their anger.
Murray didn't say anything, he just picked up the Rolex and pressed it lightly with his thumb on the fingerprint sensing area of the base.
"Beep, beep, beep..." Rolex started to turn.
Quinn was shocked when he saw this, "How can you activate it?"
"This watch is mine."
The atmosphere suddenly became silent…
