In the car, Lara took out her phone and called Hori, her butler. "Hori, Jon and I are going to look at the estate now. Bring the previous materials and meet us there."
"Where shall we meet?" Hori asked.
"That estate valued at eighteen million."
Half an hour later, their car stopped outside the gates of a beautiful estate. Hori was already waiting nearby, holding a thick folder in his hands.
"Hori, you got here fast," Jiang Hao greeted him.
"Hello, Mr. Jon. Crawford Manor is about a fifteen-minute drive from here," Hori said.
Jiang Hao paused slightly and looked at Lara. Could she have chosen this place on purpose? Lara answered him with a sweet smile, took his arm, and said, "Let's go look at the house."
The staff stationed there had already received notice and opened the wrought-iron gates. The two cars drove into the estate, passed down a garden road about two hundred meters long, and arrived before a three-story villa. Jiang Hao got out and looked it over. The villa's overall design was simple, grand, and elegant. He liked that very much.
When they pushed open the front door, they saw a spacious hall furnished with sofas and other furniture. The living room was divided into two sections: a large reception room for guests and a smaller sitting room beside it. The smaller room felt cozier, with a wood-burning fireplace against the wall and a row of soft, broad fabric sofas nearby.
"Britain's winters are damp and cold. Lighting the fireplace here and lying on the sofa to read would surely be very comfortable," Lara said.
They continued farther inside and came to another spacious hall. Lara smiled and said, "Jon, this is my favorite design." As she spoke, she pressed a button on the wall.
