End of the world crisis

Recalling this, I couldn't help but tighten my grip on the phone and said, "Deon, of course, I'd welcome Taryn and your family to stay. After all, we'll be one family when we get married. It's just that…"

"What is it?"

I pretended to be hesitant and continued, "It's just that I haven't bought the villa yet. Although I've agreed with the landlord, I'm still 150 thousand dollars short.

"Do you have any way to help me gather this amount of money? I even plan to add your name to the deed. But the landlord won't budge until I have the full amount…"

Deon's voice was filled with uncontrollable joy. "That's easy! I can sell the apartment in the city! After all, we'll be living together after marriage, so we don't need so many houses."

I said worriedly, "But didn't you say that your parents worked so hard to save up for the down payment for that apartment? It wouldn't be right to sell it, would it?"

"It's fine. I'll discuss it with them. Don't worry. I'll transfer the money to your card in a couple of days."

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but smile coldly.

In my previous life, with the continuous rainfall, Deon's apartment, located closer to the city center, was found by the rescue team a week earlier than my villa. Moreover, the villa was at a lower level, making it more susceptible to flooding.

Since they liked the villa so much, let them stay there. However, I wondered if they could last as long without me this time around.

As expected, Deon posted the apartment for sale online the same day.

I asked an agent to buy that apartment, and Deon immediately transferred the money to my card.

I made grand promises to Deon, saying that once his parents moved in, I would go through procedures to add his name to the deed.

I also told him to ask his parents and Taryn to bring more belongings since they could stay for a long time.

Deon was ecstatic, thinking I was so gullible just like I used to be in my past life. At that time, I couldn't even notice even after being deceived.
