The scene was enveloped in a heavy silence as the news of Ethan's house ownership settled in.
Some of the students continued to exchange wide-eyed glances, their mouths hanging open in disbelief. Some of them were still struggling to comprehend that Ethan, the scholarship boy they had always looked down upon, could actually own a property in such a prestigious estate.
At that moment Old master Benjamin, with his brow furrowed and lips pressed tightly together, finally shattered the silence.
He cleared his throat, with skepticism lacing his voice along with a touch of condescension.
"I find it hard to believe that this information is accurate,"
he stated, his gaze fixed on Ethan, searching for any hint of dishonesty.
"I will personally investigate this matter and confirm the true owner of the property. Because I know It's possible there's someone else with the same name as Ethan that owns the house, and he somehow got wind of it."
