I Made $900 Trillion In 24 Hours novel Chapter 17

Barry had finished watering the flowers in his garden and was now attending to his koi fish.

He caught a whiff of something delicious coming from the kitchen which told him Snow was cooking.

Snow was a wonderful cook. It's been five days since they moved into their new home, and it's been nothing but bliss.

At first, Snow was afraid of the luxury in the mansion but after a day or two, she got used to it.

It was amazing how quickly she adapted and could even give ZEUS voice commands to adjust the lighting, operate the coffee maker and do the cleaning.

Since he moved in, five days ago, Barry enjoyed nothing but peace. For the first time in years, he slept like a baby every night.

Suddenly, ZEUS called out to him. “Sir, I have detected two individuals standing outside the gates.”

Barry glanced at the smart hi-tech wristwatch which was connected to ZEUS.

“Who are they, ZEUS?” Barry asked, swiping the screen of his watch. “We haven't had any visitors since we moved in.”

“My analysis states they are Laura Raven and Ingrid Raven,” ZEUS responded. “I have uploaded a footage on your screen.”

Barry watched with a deadpan expression as the gate footage was played, displaying his ex-wife and his ex-mother-in-law on his smart wristwatch.

“What the hell are they doing here?” Barry whispered. Then he remembered the White mansion was built in Diamond estate.

The White mansion was just two streets away from his new home.

It was possible they spotted him while he was watering the garden on their way there.

“I better go see what they want,” Barry said, rising to his feet and leaving the koi pond.

When he reached the gates, he met Laura and Ingrid standing outside, watching him with looks of surprise on their faces.

“Well, well, well,” Ingrid said, folding her arms with a slight smile. “If it isn't my runaway Son-in-law.”

Barry stopped before the gates, but he didn't open it. “What a surprise. I didn't know you guys were stopping by.”

Laura watched Barry closely. She found it strange how well Barry was living.

He had regained his skin colour back, his eyes were full of life and his lean body frame were developing muscles.

Barry has been taking care of his skin, eating well and working out.

“What are you doing over there?” Laura asked. “We saw you Watering the garden while driving through.”

Barry planted his hands on his hips. “Well, it's just as you said. I'm watering the garden. Nothing else.”

Laura frowned. “That doesn't answer my question. I haven't seen you for two weeks and now all of a sudden, you're in a fancy house?”

“Actually, I live here now,” Barry said.

Ingrid's jaws dropped. “For real? You mean this house? It looks like it costs a fortune. Do you live here with your sister? Is it yours?”
