Chapter 133 If He Married Julia (2)_1
Marcel Horne stood in the same spot, pursing his lips in silence, without looking at her.
It was not until after she descended the stairs that Emma Wright’s face fell. The close childhood bond between Marcel Horne and Ruby Bluen had dealt a heavy blow to her. Just now, she had merely put on a brave face, unwilling to show her sadness in front of Marcel.
Looking up toward the top floor, then at Ruby Bluen’s room, Emma Wright bit her lower lip. A resolute look sparkled in her eyes. I won’t admit defeat until the very end, she told herself.
Next to Golden Kirin Garden was an apartment complex called Coastal District, filled with high-class apartments. The environment throughout the district was relatively serene. Each building was fronted by a small communal garden, and an artificial river meandered past the gardens, running through the entire area. Many people strolled along the river for leisure.
As it was an apartment area, it lacked the extreme wealth and prestige found in Golden Kirin Garden, where any villa owner was an elite of the shopping mall scene. Residents of Coastal District were mostly white-collar workers and independent business owners. Of course, there were also some residents who were neither; these were mistresses supported by certain tycoons, colloquially known as "second wives."
The vehicles entering and exiting here were mostly valued from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand yuan; those costing over a million were very rare.
The residence of James Horne’s mother, Pheobe Rogers, was on the first floor of A Building.
Gian Horne was quite generous. Being wealthy, he didn’t simply keep a mistress in an apartment; he had bought an entire floor for her.
In Coastal District, Pheobe Rogers lived in one of the most spacious residences. Though she drove a Crown, which couldn’t compare to the luxury cars of the Horne family’s elite, it far surpassed the vehicles of most other residents in the area.
Even though she was a mistress, a fact well known to everyone, she didn’t feel there was anything improper about it. She still drove her car ostentatiously around Coastal District. Aside from being Gian Horne’s mistress, she was also the mother of the General Manager of James Kitchenware Company. She believed she had every right to be flamboyant.
