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, although he 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 visit our 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.”

too, and he owns 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 in that 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 she asked, “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 entire mansion district. You see, they offer these mansions as gifts, and I’m sure you
can also tell by now that the higher the mansion is built, the more important the owner
would be. That’s why the hilltop mansion hasn’t been given off. Whoever gets it must be
hugely important to the Quills… and since they are very important 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 least twice 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

it’d be, though…”
Both Gina and Peter quickly nodded, with Gina adding, “Yeah, well, you’d eventually make
their acquaintance since you’re neighbors.”
“That’s for sure.” Chris nodded, not forgetting to flex for Gina’s benefit. “There are a lot of
free recreational 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’s go 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 to check on her.
