The Amazing son in law Chapter 582
Hannah introduced her friend to Sister Linda, saying, “Sister Linda, I’d like you to meet Elaine, the friend I mentioned earlier. She loves playing mahjong just like you do, and she always has a fantastic hand! Elaine is quite the gambler but is never a sore loser.”
“Hello, Sister Linda!” Elaine exclaimed, eager to make a good impression.
Linda smiled warmly and replied, “What a coincidence! I’ve been looking for another mahjong companion. If you’re interested, you’re more than welcome to join Hannah and me for games here in the future.”
Elaine’s eyes lit up. “That sounds wonderful! I have a friend I usually play with, but she’s heading to the United States soon. I was worried I wouldn’t find anyone else to play with!”
Linda extended her hand in a polite gesture. “Hello, Elaine. I’m Linda. Welcome to my home!”
Elaine quickly shook her hand, feeling a sense of camaraderie forming.
Linda continued, “You know, my villa has been sitting empty since the renovations were completed. I thought it would be a perfect spot for my sisters and me to enjoy some mahjong together.”
Elaine felt a tinge of envy. Linda’s luxurious villa was a fantastic venue for their games, suggesting she was quite affluent, maybe even more so than Summer. For more chapters visit Find✶Novel.net
As Elaine admired the Thompson First villa, she noted its elegance. While it was indeed luxurious, it wasn’t as expansive as the villa Zeke had gifted to Charlie. That villa was the largest in Thompson First, whereas Linda’s was the smallest. Yet, even the smallest villa was still impressive by most standards.
Curiosity got the better of Elaine. “Sister Linda, how much did you spend on this villa?”
Linda paused, then quickly responded, “Oh, it wasn’t too expensive. I paid around eighty million dollars for it.”
In reality, this villa didn’t belong to Linda at all; it was owned by a film and television company. After renovation, it had been converted into an indoor filming location. Recently, a television series titled ‘New Love Apartment’ was filmed here, but it was still in post-production and hadn’t aired yet.
Now that filming had wrapped and the villa was vacant, the company decided to temporarily rent it out to offset costs until the next project began in a month.
Unknown to Elaine, Hannah had orchestrated this trap by renting the villa for five thousand dollars a day, aiming to reclaim her dignity and finances after being humiliated by Elaine and Christopher previously.
Hannah hoped to not only win back her money but also take advantage of Charlie’s villa, which would dramatically change her circumstances.
Unaware of the scheme, Elaine thought she had struck gold by reconnecting with an acquaintance who could become a reliable source of income for her. With a bright smile, she said to Linda, “Sister Linda, it’ll be so convenient for us to play mahjong together! My family and I are moving into my son-in-law’s villa, Villa A05 at Thompson First, next month!”
Linda was already aware of Elaine’s villa at Thompson First. Without that knowledge, she wouldn’t have teamed up with Hannah to deceive Elaine out of her money.
In her fifties and a seasoned croupier with over thirty years of experience in Macau, Linda was skilled in various card games, especially mahjong.
Hannah had promised Linda technical support during their games, and they planned to split any profits they made. Thus, Elaine viewed Linda as a source of financial gain, while Linda saw Elaine as an easy target to exploit—ready to divide the spoils with Hannah!
