Chapter 0164 125 BONUS Cynthia spoke earnestly as she advised Miranda, "What I'm trying to say is simple. As women, we should never take shortcuts no matter how tough it gets. We need to work hard and atay grounded. We should not rely on luck and stay away from unscrupulous ways of making money!" Miranda nodded in agreement. "That's true," "You agree, don't you?" Cynthia was relieved that Miranda was not beyond saving yet.

"Of course," Cynthia nodded. "Good, then I'm relieved. You should return the villa as soon as possible. You might lose out on the fees, but it's worth it for peace of mind." Miranda couldn't believe her ears.

"What's the matter? Are you feeling reluctant? Cynthia's expression darkened. Was everything she had just said been in vain? Miranda finally smiled after realizing why Cynthia had paid them a visit. She said, "Firstly, I completely agree with what you just said. Women should indeed be independent and self-reliant. However..." Miranda's tone turned sharp, "I didn't rely on anyone. So, I'll take what you just said carller as kindly advice from your experiences. I won't take it personally." Miranda thought she had made her point very clear. Anyone who could hear and think logically should understand her implied meaning.

She continued, "Moreover, I bought the villa for my parents to live in. The agreement has already been signed, so there's no way it's getting returned.

"Finally, I suggest you should be more tactful when sharing your life experiences in the future. You can offer advice, but issuing orders is completely unnecessary." What Cynthia said earlier was essentially making a decision on their behalf. She might have good intentions, but to put it bluntly, she was meddling in others' affairs.

Miranda wasn't going to let her have her way.

As expected, Cynthia stormed off in a huff, leaving behind a final remark, “What a sharp-tongued and stubborn girl!" Lionel frowned deeply at the comment while Mindy said, "Mimi, pay no attention to her. She doesn't know anything, and yet she chere to lecture us." Her words implied that Miranda must have got the money through questionable means. Cynthia clearly showed no respect for Mindy, Miranda's mother! However, Miranda didn't take this to heart. What she was more concerned about was that if Cynthia knew about the villa, did that mean the other relatives knew as well? She could handle it if they cto visit one after another, but it would still be quite annoying.

Unexpectedly, the following week was peaceful and quiet. No one else cby, and the move was Chapar proceeding smoothly Lionel couldn't bear to leave his beloved plants behind Move the potted plants went too difficult, but the trees that had been growing in the yard for over a decade arquired more tand effort to transplant In comparison, Mindy had it much easier. Her most treasured possessions were the two bookshelves full of books in her study. She was content as long as she could bring her book along By the tthey finished everything it was already close to New Year's Eve.

The garden, which was filled with greenery and freshly transplanted magnolia trees, added a touch of charm to the minimalist design of the villa

Lionel had even cleared a plot in the backyard, where the cottage seeds he had sown recently had already sprouted into tiny seedlings. In another two more weeks, they would be ready to harvest Furthermore, Miranda's swing, Mindy's lounge chair, and the wisters from their old house had all been moved over. The new villa was filled with familiar touches of home.

The front and backyards were still mostly barren for now, but the dry soil would give wayxo@lush green lawn when spring came. The transplanted flowers would bloom all over the garden At that thought, Miranda felt that all the physical labor they had endured was well worth it.

During the move, something interesting happened as well. Their neighbor, Karen, had noticed Udnèl's family constantly moving things in and out of the house. She assured that Lionel finally had enough a was moving out. This would mean not only the space between the two houses would fully belong to her, but she might even be able to claim part of their yard as well.
