It was almost unbelievable—the woman might have been joking about willing her house to him, but she wasn't actually joking about him having the place to himself. While doing the laundry, they had even settled that she was going to rent out a part of the house to Lucien because the house was divided into two sections.
Two different families could live there without any issues, except that they'd be sharing the same yard. But the roof was also generous with space, so they could renovate however they wanted.
Lucien wanted to pay the whole million dollars to her, but she berated him and called him a fool. She said he was probably going to be scammers' favorite target because he was so naive.
Those were harsh words that not only sliced through Lucien's ego like a hot knife, but no one had ever spoken such words to him.
