She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 378

While the couple was packing their luggage, Joel also received a call and then announced ecstatically.

“The boss from the power supply station notified me that my application for the electrician position has been successful. I need to report to the station within three days. It’s a formal position with a monthly salary of 3,000 to 4,000 dollars.”

His wife was equally excited. “A formal position is great! Electricians with a formal position are no worse off than civil servants. You don’t need to run around construction sites or home renovations, dealing with small jobs and picky clients anymore.”

“Of course, having a formal position is good,” Joel said, but after a moment of relief, his brow furrowed. “But if I report to work, I won’t be able to live in the relocated house, nor will I be eligible to receive one.”

His wife replied, “Getting the relocated house would definitely be more beneficial…”

At this moment, Joel received a call from Arthur. After taking the call, he nodded. “Alright, I’ll go now.”

He then told his wife, “Arthur and Brandon are back in Kitmore City. They said they wanted to treat me to a meal and have good news for me. I’m going to eat with them now.”

His wife said, “Quickly go. Call me immediately if there’s good news.”

Joel had indeed received great news. The good news was, “Eldest cousin has done something wrong and is too ashamed to stay in Kitmore City. He’s preparing to return to Hartselle. The relocated house is now yours.

“We’ll transfer it to your name as soon as the new deed is signed

Joel smiled from ear to ear and quickly toasted them. “Thank you. It’s been hard on both of you. Come, let me toast you.”

Brandon said, “However, the compensation for the relocated house is not on an individual basis. Instead, it is based on
