"Rich? Hardly."
Rhode completely ignored Jimmy's sarcasm, taking two steps back to examine the structure of the house before saying, "Two million to buy your house."
Two million?
The fat on Jimmy's face trembled, his eyes wide as he looked at Rhode. "You're willing to pay two million for this house?!"
His house wasn't worth that much!
"You little brat, trying to make a fool of me? Get out, get out!"
Jimmy's expression grew angrier, assuming Rhode was just joking.
Rhode directly pulled out a check. "Three million, move out immediately."
Three million?!
Not just Jimmy, but even the group of children behind Rhode stared blankly, unable to believe their ears and eyes.
Just how rich was this guy named Rhode?
Three million, just like that.
As if he were casually rattling off a string of numbers…
Frank watched from behind, scoffing as he stepped forward and yelled directly at Jimmy, "Three million isn't bad! Hurry up and get lost! No one else would give you such a big advantage!"
He wouldn't reveal that he had already received five million from Rhode.
Anyway, they would be the ones living in the house after it was bought.
Who else would he help but Rhode?
"If you're not willing, return the check, and we'll buy another neighbor's house."
Saying that, Frank unceremoniously reached for the check in Rhode's hand.
Jimmy finally reacted, quickly snatching the check, sizing Rhode up and down several times. "I'm warning you, I still have some influence on this street. If you dare to cheat me, I'll cut off your head, shove it up your ass, and kick you off this street!"
With Frank nearby, Jimmy wasn't afraid of Rhode running away.
Even if Rhode could escape, could Frank's family escape this street?
"You don't even need to move your things. Leave my house now, and my lawyer will contact you about the rest."
Rhode said indifferently.
Jimmy didn't react at all, holding the check and looking at it back and forth several times, until he met Rhode's impatient gaze. Only then did he walk out with a bewildered expression, clutching the check and looking back every few steps.
What the hell.
Bread was actually falling from the sky for no reason.
And it seemed to be aimed at Frank's family…
Jimmy rubbed his eyes hard, sucking in a cold breath.
Frank's family had struck it rich?
"Alright, this is your home now."
Rhode turned around, faced the children who were still stunned in place, pushed open the door, and signaled for them to go inside.
The children present couldn't react at all.
Each of them stared in astonishment at the open door, rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
In the past, they had only come once or twice to steal food, always sneaking in through the back door or window, always sneaking in and then being kicked out.
Entering so openly was something they never dared to imagine.
And what did Rhode just say?
This was their new home?
Arthur rubbed his eyes, glanced at his younger siblings behind him, and saw the astonishment in their expressions as well. Each of them was like a mute; it was difficult to get even a word or two out of them.
Originally, Rhode should have already chosen a place to settle her or her family, but now he had to spend so much money again to buy this house that wasn't worth it at all.
Did she really deserve Rhode's trouble?
Her expression was extremely ashamed, and she nervously clenched her hands, not daring to touch Rhode, only looking at him with pleading eyes, her charming face full of shame.
Rhode was quite satisfied with Louisa's reaction.
Although dollars were just a number to him, he still wanted to hear a sound when he threw them out.
He was just about to speak.
Frank, who was on the side, approached, standing happily in front of the two of them, smiling and saying, "What you said is wrong. What's there to be embarrassed about? Since Mr. Rhode is willing to help, that means he values you, doesn't he?"
After Frank finished speaking, he still felt too embarrassed to continue being a bastard in front of so many children, so he could only cough twice, lower his voice, and say to Rhode.
"That thing you mentioned before, that mistress thing, I agree."
He coughed awkwardly twice.
"But, we need to make things clear first. Being a mistress is okay, but you can't hurt Louisa!"
In fact, Frank was also very clear that even as a mistress, being Rhode's mistress was better than being an ordinary person's wife.
The divorce in their family back then couldn't be said to have nothing to do with money.
Moreover, Rhode was willing to do so much for Louisa; even if he really grew tired of Louisa in the future and didn't want to continue dating her, he wouldn't treat Louisa poorly.
Thinking of this, Frank swallowed, looked at Rhode again, and chuckled mischievously.
"Now that things are pretty much settled, even if we don't get married, we can still go out for a meal or a drink. What do you think, Mr. Rhode?"
Louisa was amused by Frank's shameless appearance.
Rhode must have made things clear with Frank when they went out just now. Now that Frank had received so many benefits, he still dared to make demands.
She originally wanted to reject this shameless father of hers for Rhode.
But when she saw the expectant looks on her younger siblings' faces, she couldn't say anything.
Their family hadn't had a good meal out in a long time.
Although they owned a restaurant, they ate leftovers and scraps from the restaurant to save money.
Now that they finally had a chance…
"I remember there's a hotel at the intersection when we came. Why don't we go to that one?"
Rhode didn't care about Frank's words at all.
He directly made the arrangements.
"Can we go too?!"
At this moment, Arthur no longer had that rebellious attitude towards Rhode from before, looking at Rhode with shining eyes.
Each child looked expectant.
"Of course."
Rhode wasn't planning to do anything with Louisa at the hotel, so there was no need to avoid others.
"Can we order anything on the menu?!"
Lip also exclaimed, only to be elbowed by Arthur. "Of course! Didn't you see how he was throwing money around just now? Three million! Not three hundred, not thirty thousand, but three million!"
"What's the little bit of money you'll spend on ordering food?"
Arthur looked at Rhode with admiration.
The other children also nodded one after another, afraid that they would nod too slowly, and Rhode would dislike them, and they wouldn't even get to eat.
"Alright, then follow me."
There were too many people at the moment, and Rhode's sports car couldn't fit so many people, so he simply led the group towards the intersection in a grand manner.
Frank's family was quite well-known on this street.
Although it wasn't a good reputation, they were known by everyone.
At this moment, a stranger leading Frank's family towards the upscale hotel at the intersection immediately attracted the attention of the entire street.
The security guards at the entrance of the Fali Hotel had already received the news and stood in front of the entrance in advance.
They were determined that no matter what, they wouldn't let Rhode bring Frank's family in.
On the other hand, Louisa looked uneasy from beginning to end.
This Fali Hotel…
Although it was indeed the most upscale hotel on this street, it wasn't that simple to have stood on this street for so long.
The people inside were a mixed bag; there was everything.
Even the foreign women used for service were quite numerous.
She was just worried that Rhode would bring their family and be taught a lesson by the thugs in the Fali Hotel.
Rhode might still have the strength to deal with guys like Sheldon.
But the people in the Fali Hotel were all professional thugs.
It would be terrible if there was a conflict…
Chapter 280: Arranging the Best Service Staff
Outside the Fali Hotel, several security guards were smoking cigarettes, holding sticks in their hands, and whispering together.
"Do you think this is strange today? Even poor people dare to come and spend money!"
They clearly saw Frank's family, who were about to walk to the gate, their voices laced with sarcasm.
If it were someone else, even if they were dressed a little shabbily, they would still treat them well, no matter how reluctant they were.
After all, no one knew if they would inadvertently offend some big shot.
But Frank's family?
Get real.
They couldn't even afford to eat, not even as good as their group of security guards.
And they dared to come to the store to spend money!
Otherwise, the manager in the store wouldn't have asked them to come out and stop them.
Along with the discussions of several people, Rhode and Frank's family also walked to the entrance of the Fali Hotel.
Rhode took the lead, and before he could walk in, a stick blocked his path.
The security guard grinned maliciously. "Sorry, our store doesn't offer clown services. We don't welcome poor people to come in and perform clown shows."
"Alright, we're all from this street. We don't want to make things too difficult. You guys leave on your own."
The remaining security guards weren't so impolite, but they weren't very polite either, raising their hands and waving their arms as if shooing away flies.
Frank was fine. Over the years, his skin had been hardened, and he hadn't been affected at all.
But the group of children behind him blushed red.
Especially when they felt the gazes cast by the residents on the street, the children's fragile self-esteem instantly exploded, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Arthur clenched his fists, vaguely wanting to get angry.
"Trust Mr. Rhode."
Louisa suddenly reached out and placed her hand on her younger brother's fist. Her eyes curved up, and she looked at Arthur with a smile, slowly saying, "Mr. Rhode is a miracle. This kind of thing is not worth his attention at all. He can definitely solve it immediately."
