Chapter 24 Through The Good Times, Not The Bad

• The rest of the people in the room stood frozen, mouths agape, as if they had been struck by lightning. Did Jeff Froll really just offer Lucian Gray ten villas in Maple Garden worth almost $500 million? Who would have thought that Lucian Gray had the ability to bring Jeff Froll to his doorstep and offer him ten villas for free? No one in Sioux had that kind of influence. Who exactly was Lucian Gray?
• Lucian could only smile sheepishly. Jeff had gone overboard with his theatrics this time. Lucian had only requested one small villa, not ten of varying sizes and styles. However, since Jeff had already made the offer, Lucian decided to let Freya choose one that she liked. He turned to his wife and said, "Fay, pick a villa you like. We'll move out right away."
• "Lucian, what's happening?" Freya looked up at her husband, still confused about the situation. Annie and Frank were equally flabbergasted by everything that had just happened.
