Chapter 398

For a moment, Janet thought she had entered Downtown Abbey. The place looked too posh and
elegant for her.

“Are you sure this is the place Mr. Larson mentioned?” Janet asked the man who was escorting her into
the community. And then she carefully examined the luxurious, exquisite villas on both sides.

Janet knew she wouldn’t feel comfortable living in such an opulent community.

“Yes, Miss Lind. The entire neighborhood is the real estate project Mr. Larson has recently undertaken.
He said you can move into any villa of your choice. We will help you pick the right one if you can’t
decide,” the man replied politely.

Janet was stunned.

She thought Brandon would probably find a studio apartment for her but never thought a villa would be
allocated to her. The community was located in the heart of the city, and the environment looked
serene. Janet felt she couldn’t even afford a room here with her ten years’ salary put together.

Besides, the man had revealed that the entire neighborhood belonged to Brandon. It looked like
Brandon had endless wealth — what people saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

The more Janet wandered around the villa community with the man, the more uneasy she felt.

She quickly took her phone out and sent a message to Brandon.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Larson. The residence you’ve recommended looks very expensive. I can’t live there.
Besides, with my current salary, I can’t afford the rent.”

Brandon was prepared for such a situation. He quickly replied, “This is, by far, the smallest group of
houses on my property. They are vacant now, so I decided to offer one to you. This way, I wouldn’t



have to waste my time looking for other houses for you. The neighborhood is a new project. Can you
do me a favor? I would like you to live there for a while and experience the service and comfort of living
there. I want you to experience everything and offer feedback and suggestions for improvement. If you
offer this help, I’ll allow you to live there rent-free.”

Although it seemed like a good offer, Janet didn’t dare accept it. She returned to the hotel where she
and Ethan were staying for the time being and discussed the situation with him.

“Mr. Larson’s house looks great,” she admitted honestly. It was a villa she could never afford in her life.

“Well, since it is good, why do you seem upset?” Ethan could tell Janet was lost in thought. He couldn’t
understand why she was upset even after they had found a house to live in.

“But the house is too good for us. It’s too opulent and cozy. I can’t live there at ease.”

Ethan pursed his lips and thought for a while. Then he said, “But he is asking you a favor. Besides, the
hotel room is expensive as well. We can’t afford to stay here all the time. Why don’t we move into
Brandon’s house first, and then continue looking for other houses? Once we find a comfortable place
we can afford, we can vacate the villa.”

Ethan could understand Janet’s concern. She was hesitant to accept Brandon’s help because she
didn’t want to be indebted to him all her life.

Janet seemed reluctant regardless of what Ethan said. But knowing that his wife needed a nudge,
Ethan took her to the villa that night.

The villa was equipped with furniture of various kinds and daily necessities. They didn’t have to buy
anything apart from personal belongings.



Janet was frightened and uncomfortable about the extravagance, so she sent a message to Brandon
that night.

“Mr. Larson, thank you for your timely help. I will find another house and move out as soon as
possible.”

However, Brandon didn’t reply.

Seeing Janet’s message, Ethan turned and glanced at her. He could tell she was fighting a battle in her
mind. Janet’s innocence made him fall in love with her all over again.

They were in the downtown area of Seacisco. She could never find an affordable house here.
