Chapter 717

Then, a man in a suit greeted them and helped them park the car. After that, James, Helen, and Sasha
were also brought into the villa.

The villa’s courtyard was bright and luxurious, and the facilities were impressive. In fact, it looked like a
large party was going on. In the swimming pool, many girls in bikinis were swimming in it. Next to them,
waiters in formal wear walked among the crowd with drinks. Many people stood there chatting, and
everything appeared just like a high-end party. Seeing all this in front of them, James and Helen were
shocked. While they were still surprised, they noticed their old friends who gathered around them and
exclaimed, “Hey, James, you guys are really rich! You guys have really made a lot of money in these two
years to be able to afford a house in Lakeside Garden.”

“Mrs. Cunningham, I’ve already told you that James is no ordinary man. See, he has soared so high up
in the sky!”

“Mrs. Cunningham, last time you said you liked my coat, right? I have asked my daughter to send it back
from abroad, so come over to my house to give it a try, alright?”

“Oh, James, I’ll have someone send my ivory chess set to you later.”

Everyone was currying favor with them and not even hesitating to send precious things to them. Full of
smugness, James and Helen responded with smiles, their hearts simply overflowing with joy. Tonight,
their vanity and egos were greatly satisfied.

Not long after, they saw Eric and the others standing around in a group. Eric and the others, too, were
shocked by the scene here. Charlie and Lily were wearing formalwear, but when they stood in the middle
of this crowd, they did not look conspicuous at all. After all, the guests who came here had much more
family fortune than them.



Seeing them, James had his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over. “Dad, you all are here! Oh,
come in and sit down. It’s not appropriate to stand outside. Come on, Dad, I’ll help you in. Let’s go next
door and look at my house. Do help me with some ideas on how to renovate it!” James almost dragged
Eric into the house.

As Sasha walked behind, she was full of confusion. “Mom, what’s going on next door? Y-You guys
bought a house in Lakeside Garden?”

Helen laughed lightly. “Soon, you will know. Come on, Sasha, come and have a seat in the house first!”
Helen, too, pulled Sasha into the house. At this time, the house was filled with many big shots of
Eastcliff. Gordon was among them, and when he saw James enter, he immediately welcomed the latter
with a smile.



“Oh, Mr. Cunningham, you guys are finally here. You are the main characters tonight, so if you don’t
come, it will be meaningless. Come, come, come. Take a seat.”

Several other men also warmly welcomed them, as if they knew James very well. Eric saw with his own
eyes that all of these people were on the same level as Gordon. In fact, he could not even get
acquainted with Gordon. Yet, these people were now so polite to James, so he was truly shocked. Does
it mean that James has changed from the past?

James was extremely pleased because his ego was completely satisfied. He happily went over and sat
in the main seat, talking and laughing with the people as if he knew them very well. Sasha, on the other
hand, was puzzled. It did not seem like a business meeting tonight, no matter how she looked at it.

After Eric sat for a while, he really couldn’t help it anymore and said, “James, you said you bought a
house in Lakeside Garden? Will you take us to see the house first?”



He still doubted James’ words, so he wanted to see the house before commenting on anything.

At this moment, a voice came from upstairs. “Of course, that’s no problem. Mr. Cunningham’s house is
right next door to ours, so it’s all right to go over and see it now!”

Everyone looked up, only to see President White smilingly coming out with his wife.
