Chapter 845

She’s Probably a Sugar Baby

Tate and Minerva grew a little flustered at the question. While they told everyone that they were staying
at the Grand Garden, the truth was that they could no longer set foot in the premises after the last
incident had ended on a really sour note.

Nevertheless, they had an image to maintain in front of others and he was quick to respond as he
replied, “Oh, yes, we’ve been staying at the Grand Garden since our return. The nearby lake house
happens to be ours and my sister and I absolutely love swimming in our backyard pool.”

Peter’s eyes brightened as he thought, Finally, a worthwhile hustle!

However, he kept his voice light as he said, “I’ve stayed at the Grand Garden for a while back then, but
that was when I first came back. I didn’t have much money then and I was staying at the Grand
Pavilion. My place was just over two hundred square meters, but I stopped living there in the end; the
house was a little small for my taste.”

Upon hearing this, Tate and Minerva exchanged a glance; they were already on the edge of their seats. If
Peter’s idea of ‘small’ was two hundred square meters, then that would mean he was living in a much
bigger house at the moment! Could he be staying in a private villa?

Minerva’s eyes lit up with excitement as she asked, “So, where are you staying now, Peter?”

Peter flashed a self-effacing smile. “I’m staying at one of Mr. Wayne’s villas right now, but I’m looking to
buy a house in Lakeside Garden by the end of the year. After all, I’m sure the both of you would
understand how different it is to have a place of your own as opposed to staying at someone else’s
house.”

His plans had clearly exceeded Tate and Minerva’s expectations. Both of them gasped in delight and
thought, Lakeside Garden! He’s planning to own a place in Lakeside Garden! If Peter were to actually go



through with his plans and own a villa there, we can finally stand up to the Cunningham Family!

A second later, Tate shot his sister a meaningful look before she practically hurled herself at Peter as she
chirped, “You’re amazing, Peter. I think I’m liking you even more!”



Peter, on the other hand, merely chuckled as he returned Minerva’s affections, but all that filled his mind
was how he could con her money out of her.

At that moment, Tate was glancing into the restaurant when he caught sight of Crystal and Joseph, both
of whom had only just entered the establishment.

A shadow passed over Tate’s face. He had been holding a grudge against her since she delivered
several harsh slaps across his face the last time.

However, after having been taught a lesson by Leanna, he did not step out of his house for a while and
thus did not have the chance to seek revenge. He certainly didn’t think that he would run into Crystal
here in the restaurant. What a small world, indeed.

Across from him were Minerva and Peter, who were becoming heated in their interaction.

“Tate, the both of you should carry on with dinner. Peter and I are going for a walk!” Minerva announced
excitedly. Then, she took Peter by the arm before dragging him away from the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Tate looked mutinous as he glowered at Crystal through the window. His date, who was next
to him, grew alarmed as she urged, “What’s wrong, honey?”

He gave Crystal one last baleful look before he recounted the bad blood between them. When his date
heard his explanation, she shot Crystal an equally hostile look and pouted. “Oh, is that what she looks
like? Given her audacity, I thought she’d turn out to be some gorgeous siren or something. I mean, just



look at her with all that designer stuff! How could a lowly nurse like her even afford all those things in the
first place? She’s probably a sugar baby, and judging from how she’s so friendly with the old man, he’s
likely her latest victim!” After she took a pause from her scathing commentary, the woman turned back to
Tate with a comforting smile. “You shouldn’t have to worry about someone like her, honey. She’s not
worth your time!”

An insidious gleam flashed in Tate’s eyes when he heard what his date had said. Contrary to what the
woman might believe, Crystal’s beauty still had an effect on him. Although he thought that Crystal was in
love with Matthew before this, she was just a sugar baby looking for someone to fund her luxurious
lifestyle from the looks of it. That means I probably have a shot with her!

After a long moment of thought, Tate addressed his date flatly, “Why don’t you return home first? I still
have a couple of things to attend to later, but I’ll head over to your place as soon as I’m done.”

His date left begrudgingly after that. When she was well out of earshot, he clenched his jaw and called
up a few of his buddies to come over. He was ready to take down Crystal tonight and would make sure
that she was completely humiliated!
