Chapter 608:
Four hundred million dollars? Lindy, another onlooker, snorted in disbelief.
She'd done her research on Allison—once a nobody, an orphan, to be precise—over a decade ago. The thought
of her son still trapped in Muisvedo, buried under hundreds of millions in debt, while Allison stood here
pretending to be wealthy, made Lindy’s blood boil. The very idea that Allison could own Sunset Hill only fueled
her irritation. Her temples throbbed.
“Four hundred million is conservative,” she muttered bitterly. “Sunset Hill's value has only gone up over the past
ten years since it was bought. But it’s nice to dream!”
Lindy’s voice dripped with sarcasm as she cast a scornful glance at Allison.
“Ten years ago, sorphaned girl suddenly had four hundred million to buy this entire mountain? Who are you
kidding?” She simply couldn't wrap her mind around the idea of Allison having that kind of financial clout.
And she wasn’t alone—doubt rippled through the crowd of onlookers.
Over the past decade, rapid technological advancements and inflation had sent property values soaring.

claims, skepticism lingered thick in the air.
“Darrel, seriously, look at her! There's no way she has that kind of money. Don’t let her fool you!” Santino
protested, his voice laced with disbelief.

comprehension. Not even he, with his family’s wealth, had ever seen that kind of money.

Santino noticed the flicker of anger on Darrel’s face and felt a surge of humiliation. He doubled down, “Uncle, are
you defending her just because you're taken in by her looks?”
Though his cheek still stung from the earlier slap, the pain only spurred him on. He adopted an even more
wounded expression, trying to appeal to his uncle's loyalty. Spoiled since birth and rarely facing consequences,
he couldn’t accept this humiliation, even though he was afraid of his uncle.
“Sure, she’s pretty, but don’t forget I'm your nephew. Shouldn't you side with me? If you're into women like her, |
can find you dozens...”
Smack! Another slap silenced him, cutting off his sentence mid-air.
Santino staggered backward with a howl of pain, only to get an additional hard kick from Darrel that sent him
sprawling to the ground.
“Shut your mouth! How did | end up with such an idiot for a nephew?”
The implication that he was interested in Allison for her looks only fueled Darrel’s rage.
His aura turned dangerously cold, enough to make everyone around feel a chill.
