Hannah said, “Sister Linda, let me introduce the both of you. This is the friend that I mentioned to you before. Her name is
Elaine. She enjoys playing mahjong, just like you, and she always has a very good hand in mahjong! She’s always been willing
to bet, and she is not a sore loser either.”
Elaine hurriedly said, “Hello, Sister Linda!”
Linda nodded lightly before she smiled and said, “It just so happens that I have always been missing another permanent
mahjong friend. If you’re interested, you can come here often to play mahjong with me and Hannah in the future.”
Elaine hurriedly replied, “Oh, that’s really great! This is such a coincidence! I have a friend who I have been regularly playing
mahjong with, but she is already going to the United States soon. I was afraid that I would not be able to find a friend to play
mahjong with anymore!”
Linda took the initiative to stretch out her hand and said to Elaine politely and respectfully, “Hello, Elaine. I am Linda. Welcome to
my house!”
Elaine quickly shook hands with her.
After that, Linda said, “Oh, you see, my villa has basically been sitting idle after the renovation was done. So, I thought of using it
as a venue for my sisters to play mahjong with me.”
Elaine could not help but feel a little envious of Linda. She could simply use such a big and luxurious villa to play mahjong. This
meant that she was probably even richer than Summer.
After that, Elaine quickly looked around the Thompson First villa.
The renovation and interior design of the villa were indeed very luxurious, but this villa was not as big as the one that Zeke had
given to Charlie.
The villa that Zeke had given to Charlie was the largest villa unit in the entire Thompson First. Moreover, the villa supposedly
owned by Linda was the smallest villa amongst all the villas in Thompson First.
However, even the smallest villa was already very big and luxurious for most people.
Elaine could not help but ask, “Sister Linda, how much did you spend to buy this villa?”
Linda was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly replied, “Oh, it did not cost me too much. I paid about eighty million dollars
for it.”
In fact, this villa did not belong to Linda at all. This villa was the property of a film and television company.
After buying the villa, the film and television company had renovated it and turned it into an indoor filming location. Not too long
ago, a television series called, ‘New Love Apartment’ was actually filmed and completed here. However, the television series
was still in post-production, and it had not been officially broadcasted yet.
The villa happened to be vacant after the television series was completed, and the film and television company would not be
filming for another month. Therefore, they decided to temporarily rent out the villa to cover some of their cost.
To set up this trap for Elaine, Hannah had rented this villa for five thousand dollars a day. She was prepared to cheat Elaine of all
her money here because she wanted to take revenge on Elaine for humiliating and insulting her and Christopher the other day.
It would be best if she could also cheat Charlie’s villa out of Elaine. That way, she would be able to turn her life around
immediately!
Elaine did not know that all of this was simply a trap that had been laid out for her. She thought that she was really lucky to have
met an acquaintance who would eventually develop into a long-term cash-making machine for her.
Therefore, Elaine looked at Linda with a flattering expression on her face as she said, “Oh! Sister Linda, it would be really
convenient for us to play mahjong together in the future! My family and I will be moving into my son-in-law’s villa, which is Villa
A05 at Thompson First next month!”
Linda had already long known that Elaine had a villa at Thompson First. If it weren’t because of that villa, she would not have
agreed to work together with Hannah just to cheat Elaine of her savings.
Linda was in her fifties, and she had been a croupier at a casino in Macau for more than thirty years. She was definitely good at
all sorts of cards and gambling games, including poker and mahjong, which she was superb in.
This time, Hannah promised Linda that she would provide her the technical support in the game, and that both of them would
split the profits equally between them.
Therefore, Elaine regarded Linda as her ATM, while Linda regarded her as a big fat pig that she could not wait to split into half!
After that, she would be able to share the profits equally with Hannah!
