The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 45
At this moment, Halle was also shocked. Her sexy lips opened wide, and she asked Joseph again in disbelief, “Mr. Dawson, is...
is this for real?” Right away, Chloe took the black bank card from Joseph and handed it to Halle. “Daddy is telling the truth. This
morning, Grandma drove away Mommy’s car. So, you should go and bring the contract now...” Even so, Halle still stared at the
black bank card with doubts. Seeing that, Joseph smiled, “It’s true. You may go and prepare the contract. After this, I can take
Chloe out on a fun trip too...” “Alright. Thank you, Mr. Dawson.” Halle immediately thanked him and excitedly went to prepare the
contract with his bank card. Following that, the two snobbish saleswomen hurried over and looked at Joseph with a complicated
look. “Mr. Dawson... Didn’t you say you didn’t want to buy a
car?”
Hearing that, Joseph sneered, “Yep, that’s true, but I’ve changed my mind. Any problem with that?” “Are you kidding us? We
served you first!” another snobbish saleswoman complained. At the sight of Halle swiping the card over there, the saleswoman
began to feel blue. With a nod, Joseph replied, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) “I know both of you served
me first, but did you pour me a glass of water? Haha... When I said I was not going to buy a car, both of you
ignored me. But when I bought a car, both of you approached me again. How ridiculous! Who do you think customers are? A
bunch of fools? Your cash machine? Get out of my sight!” In the end, he cursed. Initially, he had no intention to deal with this kind
of snobbish behavior. But sometimes, the more he ignored these snobbish people, the more they would try to get close to him.
Hence, even though he had a good temper, he flipped out... Moreover, the more he didn’t want something to happen, the more
likely it would occur. Just as he went to the car with the car key in a bad mood, he unexpectedly ran into Lily again. The moment
he saw her, he was dumbfounded. After all, he saw her in this 4S outlet yesterday. Oh my god, was she a virus or something?
Having no interest in talking to her, he walked past her and was about to leave. However, Lily stood in front of him, looked at him,
and sneered, “What’s wrong, rich kid? Are you here to buy a car? I thought you bought it yesterday. Why are you here again?”
When Joseph heard this, he looked at her as if he was looking at a fool. The next second, Lily pretended to realize something
and insulted, “Oh... I forgot. I heard that this morning Aunt Estella took the car you bought yesterday. Hehe, so I assume you are
here to return the car. Well, don’t even think about it. It’s impossible... Haha... Come on, drop the act. Where is the car? Huh?”
“Are you a moron?” Joseph was pissed off, so despite his self-restraint, he cussed. Upon hearing his words, Lily got bent out of
shape and pointed at him. “How dare you call me a moron? You...” Just then, the outlet manager personally drove Joseph’s new
car—a brand-new Mercedes-Benz S-class-to the front of Joseph and said respectfully to him, “Mr. Dawson, your new car is
ready. Please check it out. Also, since you’ve bought cars in our outlet for the consecutive two days, you have become our most
honorable customer. If you need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to approach us...” Joseph looked at Lily and

sneered. Then, he pointed at her and responded to the manager, “I don’t need anything else, but Aunt Lily wants to buy a car.
(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) So, I will leave her to you...” Upon saying that, he snorted coldly and got
in the car with Chloe. After fastening their seatbelts, he stepped on the accelerator and sped off. When Lily—who remained
where she was-saw him drive away on another new car and recalled him calling her Aunt Lily, she immediately flew off the
handle. In a fit of anger, she picked up a small flower pot next to her and threw it at his car. Nevertheless, she missed as he
drove fast. “Madam, please don’t make a scene here, or I will call the security!” when the manager saw Lily go ballistic, he got
anxious and shouted. However, this intensified Lily’s anger, and she yelled at the manager, “Call the security? Go ahead then!
I’m here to buy a car, so that makes me a customer too! Is this how your outlet treats your customers? Believe it or not, I’ll sit on
your car bonnet, protest for my rights, and ask the reporters to expose your bad doings!!” “Security! Security! Throw this crazy
woman out!” the manager directly instructed. When Lily and Joseph came yesterday, the manager also saw them, and he knew
that Lily was nothing but a fool who relied on her rich boyfriend. As he couldn’t be bothered to deal with this kind of silly woman,
he turned and walked into the shop after calling the security guards. In disbelief, Lily watched as the two security guards walked
toward her and chased her out fiercely. At that moment, she was about to go crazy from fury. Meanwhile, in Yahir’s house, Yahir
was quarreling with Estella—who had returned after taking Paige’s car. On the other hand, Serena was sitting in a corner. In the
face of her furious father, she dared not interrupt. “Estella, don’t you feel ashamed? How can you snatch Paige’s car?! Huh?!”
Yahir roared at Estella. At this moment, Estella also got enraged and retorted, “How dare you yell at me? That’s my daughter’s
car, so why can’t I drive it? Even that wastrel said it’s mine, so why the hell are you fussing?” When Yahir heard Estella’s words,
he trembled with rage and slapped her hard on the face, making her stunned. Seeing this, Serena rushed over to stop him. It
took a while for Estella to come to her senses, and she stared at Yahir in disbelief. “Yahir Mooney... Did you just hit me? How
dare you! I’ve been working hard all my life, giving birth to your children and raising them, and yet, you hit me because of that
d*mn car?” “For more than 20 years, I’ve always wanted a house in Paragon Villa. You also promised me you would buy it, but
where is it? Huh? I guess I was blind enough to believe in you, to let you cheat me for more than 20 years! 20 years! Now that
you’ve slapped me, what’s next? A divorce? I’m so going to kill you...” Instantaneously, Estella rolled up her sleeves and fought
with Yahir. Panicked, Serena hurried to them and tried to stop the fight. However, in the end, Estella fought with Yahir for more
than an hour. After that, Yahir went to the balcony for a smoke while Estella ran out in tears... “Dad! Why did you hit Mom? I
know she was in the wrong, and her temper was getting worse over the years, but why did you hit her? Why aren’t you chasing
her back? Hurry up and get her! Are you really planning on divorcing her? Huh, Dad?!!” Serena stomped her feet in fury as she
looked at Yahir. When Yahir heard this, his eyes trembled, and his expression became complicated. After a long time, he let out a
deep sigh. “It’s all because I am useless. Estella has always liked the houses in Paragon Villa. Even if there are better villas out
there, her heart never changes. I know I’ve promised her for years, but I have no money to buy it for her. As for the car incident,
I’m afraid that Joseph will ill-treat Paige in the future because of this. After all the suffering Paige has gone through, her life is
finally becoming better. So, I’m afraid Estella would cause her trouble. Alas, in the end, it’s all because I’m useless...” At this

moment, Serena also felt helpless, so she could only stamp her feet anxiously. After pondering for a while, she quickly went out
to find Estella. Later, while looking for Estella, she called Joseph and told him what had happened at home. On the other side, as
soon as Joseph hung up Serena’s call, he looked at Chloe and asked, “Do you think Grandma is a bad person?”
Looking back at Joseph with her big eyes, Chloe responded, “Why did you ask this? Grandma is not a bad person. She also
likes me very much. Last night, she even visited me and gave me a toy she found on the road. But Daddy, that toy looks very
new. Why did Grandma insist that she picked that up?” “What?” When Joseph heard this, he subconsciously frowned. Estella
came to their house last night! And she even gave Chloe a toy! Here was the thing. When Chloe was born, Joseph was not
there. Besides, Paige didn’t tell her family who Chloe’s father was, so Chloe took the surname Mooney. In addition, Chloe was
also used to treat Estella and Yahir as her paternal grandparents. As the Dawson family had long kicked Joseph out, he didn’t
mind. To him, as long as Chloe could grow up happily, he would be satisfied. “What’s wrong, Daddy? What did Aunt Serena say
just now?” Chloe saw Joseph frown in silence, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) so she raised her little
head and asked. With a smile, Joseph spoke, “Chloe, since you think that Grandma is good to you, shall we buy her a house?
Aunt Serena just told me that Grandma has always wanted a big house.” Excitedly, Chloe nodded. “Yes, yes, yes! If Grandma
has a big house, she won’t be mad again. So, let’s go to buy her a house! A big one...” “Sure.” Joseph agreed joyfully. Then, he
drove Chloe to Paragon Villa that Serena inadvertently mentioned. Paragon Villa was a ten-year-old estate. In fact, there were
more high-end villas and housing areas out there. Even so, ten years ago, Paragon Villa was the most famous estate in Oplen.
As it was built on the edge of the river, the scenery there was breathtaking, and the air was fresh. So, in those days, prominent
local families and figures would compete for the houses there. Now, although Oplen was more developed, many elderly people
with high social status were still living there. Besides, they never thought of moving somewhere else. In short, having a house
here was Estella’s obsession. At 3 p.m. in Paragon Villa, Estella was sitting alone in the pavilion, staring blankly at her dream
houses. On her face, there were traces of tears. Now, the house price here had increased significantly to millions of dollars,
which was more expensive than some other villas. Knowing about that, Estella thought she might not be able to live here in her
whole life, and her wish would probably become a lifelong regret... And yes, she came here alone after fighting with Yahir this
morning. It seemed that only here could give her peace of mind... Just as she was in a daze, a woman in her 40s with heavy
makeup suddenly came to her side and exclaimed, “Hey, you’re here again! What’s the matter? Are you here to see the house?”
Hearing this, Estella glanced at that woman, and a trace of disgust emanated from the depth of her eyes. Estella knew this
woman. Her name was Willow Palmer, and she used to live in the same old neighborhood as Estella. However, after Willow’s
son-in-law took out a loan to buy a house here—which was also the cheapest house in D Zone-Willow moved here. Moreover,
she kept boasting around for the past two years, especially in front of Estella after knowing her thoughts. Every time, Willow
would say, “Oh, it’s nice to stay in Paragon Villa, but it is too quiet here. After all, the people who live here are people with high
status, and I usually don’t have anyone to talk to...” And so on, which was annoying. At this moment, even though Estella didn’t

want to talk to Willow, Willow took the initiative to start a conversation, “Oh, by the way, I heard your daughter came back with
her husband and their child. What does your son-in-law do? Where are they planning to buy a house? Have they bought a
house? Listen to me. You should ask them to buy a bigger house. The house I’m living in is so small that it suffocates me. You
see, my son-in-law...” As Estella was already in a bad mood, her blood boiled upon hearing Willow showing off. At once, she
turned to Willow and snapped, “Why would you care whether my daughter buys a house or not? If you think your son-in-law’s
house is small, you can just leave. No one will stop you. Why bother to show off every day?” Hearing that, Willow also got
infuriated and sneered, “How about you? You can’t even afford a house here, and yet you keep coming. Why don’t you ask your
son in-law to buy you one instead? It’s annoying to see you here every day, pretending to be rich. People who have no idea
might think you live in our community. Pooh...” Furious, Estella’s face went ashen, and her entire body quivered. Pointing at
Willow with a trembling finger, she wanted to retort, but she was wordless with rage. Looking at Estella, Willow scoffed. Just as
she wanted to continue mocking Estella and reached out her hand to put Estella’s finger down, a figure with a child appeared.
They were Joseph and Chloe.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) With a faint smile, Joseph said, “Well, sorry
to say this, Madam, but I bought her a house in A Zone, which is the house in front of you. It’s 130 square feet with three rooms
and two halls. Do you want to go and have a look?” Before this, Joseph and Chloe viewed around the neighborhood for a long
time before they finally chose the best house with the most high-end renovation. Fortunately, the house was urgently on sale too.
Upon seeing Joseph and Chloe, Estella was also surprised. Then, Chloe waved the property ownership certificate in her hand
and chirped, “Grandma, grandma! We’ve bought you a big house. Take a look at it!” Following that, she handed the certificate to
Estella. D In a trance, Estella stared at the property ownership certificate with her name written on it. Instantly, her eyes widened
in wonder.
