Cornelia, with clothes she bought for her two grannies, joined the passengers who were alighting the train, waiting to get off one by one after the train reached the station. After leaving the station, she hailed a cab and went straight to Southern Summer Garden.
Once she reached her destination and saw the villa towering in front of her, Cornelia slowly realized that Jeremy's family might be a lot wealthier than she had thought.
Although the house prices in Southern Peak couldn't compete with Riverton, owning a villa in Southern Peak still required a pretty penny. Coupled with the fact that Jeremy had a house in Riverton, his family's financial situation shouldn't be too shabby.
Cornelia did a quick tally of her own assets. She didn't have much cash in her bank account, but she had a decent income from her job at the Hartley Group each month. Add that to the earnings from her studio's comics and the value of her house, she wasn't exactly broke.
After doing the math, Cornelia concluded that from a wealth perspective, she felt she was pretty much on par with Jeremy.
Her two grannies were anxiously waiting by the door, and when they saw Cornelia, they were overjoyed, "You must be tired, come inside first."
"Hi, grannies!" Cornelia put down her shopping bags and excitedly embraced her granny, "Granny, did you miss me?"
"Of course we did." Granny Rebecca ruffled her hair, revealing a brilliant smile that Cornelia hadn't seen in a while, "Come, I cooked your favorite dishes today."
When Cornelia was in school, she would come home every week, and no matter how busy or what the weather was like, granny would always personally cook her favorite dishes. After all these years, granny's first thought upon seeing her was still to cook for her.
