Rich People Problems-Kwan 2017 (WWT)

you all now. I can see that I’ve frayed a few nerves. The offer’s on the table, and I look
forward to hearing your response.”
As soon as Oliver had left the room, Victoria spoke up. “You know, I’ve been thinking…
there is something to all this that’s just been so serendipitous, so impossible to believe,
this has to be a sign. Nicky, this incredible offer from the Bings, I think part of it is
because they are atoning for what happened to Rachel. I think this is all Mummy’s work.
She is looking out for us from heaven.”
Nick rolled his eyes in frustration.
“It is hard to believe that anyone would pay this much over the market value for
Tyersall Park—” Alix began.
“Mummy had it planned all along. She knew we wouldn’t be getting any money from
the Shang Trust, and so she wanted us all to get the most money possible out of Tyersall
Park. That’s why she split it up like she did, and now she’s working a miracle for us.”
Victoria’s voice brimmed with conviction.
Nick suddenly stood up and looked at his aunties. “Look, you can tell yourself any story
you want if it helps you to sleep at night. Personally, I can’t stand the idea of this house
going to the family that almost killed my wife! I don’t think we can trust them to keep
their word about preserving the house—I can tell that Kitty’s just waiting to get her claws
into redesigning it from top to bottom. But if I can match Jack’s offer, will you sell it to
me?”
Rachel looked at him in surprise, while Alix answered, “Nicky, don’t be silly. It would be
absurd for you to buy this house at that price! We couldn’t let you do that!”
“You didn’t answer my question. If I can get us ten billion, do we have a deal?”
The aunties looked at one another.
“Okay, we will give you one month,” Felicity finally relented.
