Chapter 176
Gina was utterly envious–Chris‘ mansion overlooked a portion of the entire mansion district too!
She promptly whipped out her phone and posted it on social media, with Peter following suit, althoughhe took photos of other mansions as well.
Chris watched as they did so, his vanity highly satisfied.
He even brought a pot of tea. “Have a drink, Mrs. Lane. You can take the photos whenever you want–you’re always welcome here.”
“Really?!” Gina and Peter were overjoyed, almost unable to believe it!
Chris nodded. “Of course. You can come over whenever I’m home.”
“Oh, that’s wonderful!” Gina exclaimed, not forgetting to extend an invite in return. “You can come visitour manor whenever as well, and teach Helen how to make more money.”
Helen folded her arms before her chest. “Teach? We’re working in different businesses.”
Gina frowned right then. “What do you mean, different?! Chris started out with nothing too, and heowns a billion dollar company now!”
Helen turned in surprise toward Chris–he was that successful in just three years?
“What’s your business? It sounds lucrative,” she said.
“Oh, just a little apothecary stuff. Interested?” he asked, staring fixedly at her.
“Nope…” Helen shook her head. “But you weren’t studying medicine. Why would you suddenly work inthat field?”
Caught by surprise, Chris scratched his head and stammered, “Oh, uh… My partner is in the business,so…”
Helen was going to press him further but Gina cut her short, pointing at the hilltop mansion as sheasked, “Who owns that mansion on top of the hill, Chris? Could it be Governor Quill?”
Chris promptly walked over to the window. “Actually, no, even though his family developed the entiremansion district. You see, they offer these mansions as gifts, and I’m sure you can also tell by now thatthe higher the mansion is built, the more important the owner would be. That’s why the hilltop mansionhasn’t been given off. Whoever gets it must be hugely important to the Quills… and since they are veryimportant people themselves, they wouldn’t be interested in some paltry gains.”
Gina nodded repeatedly—it was obvious even from the size of the hilltop mansion, which was at leasttwice the size of Chris‘ mansion.
Still, after a moment, she murmured in confusion, “Hold on… I just saw a light from over there.”
“A light? No way,” Chris snorted skeptically.
“No, I saw it too!” Peter quickly said.
Chris was left perplexed. “Huh… Maybe Governor Quill gave it away recently? I wonder who

it’d be, though…”novelbin
Both Gina and Peter quickly nodded, with Gina adding, “Yeah, well, you’d eventually make theiracquaintance since you’re neighbors.”
“That’s for sure.” Chris nodded, not forgetting to flex for Gina’s benefit. “There are a lot of freerecreational facilities around here. We can check them out if you like.”
“Really? i have to see!” Gina exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as she turned to Helen. “Come on. Let’sgo together.”
“I’ll pass–I’m tired,” Helen said wearily.
Seeing that, Gina quickly turned back to Chris. “Lead the way, Chris.”
“Of course.” Chris nodded without hesitation–he was not about to miss a chance to show off!
Meanwhile, in the hilltop mansion, Frank had just changed his clothes.
He called Jimmy and asked which hospital Helen had been taken to before heading out, planning tocheck on her.
