Living in exclusive villages in the metro carries with prestige and a certain reputation for residents. However, not all exclusive villages are of the same rank, as others are deemed to be more prestigious due to its location, history, and residents. Therefore, to live in one of those villages, one has to abide by rules and regard the importance of neighbors.

Usually, residents of the most prestigious villages come from old rich families who follow the rules of being part of the elite. In other words, to belong to the social circle, money comes second to lineage and connections. However, as times are changing, people who have made their fortune are slowly buying their way into these villages by purchasing residences.

When Trendy Celebrity (TC) decided to live in an exclusive village, the neighbors were not exactly too excited for TC to be in their locale. Given that TC has so much money, buying a home was as easy as eating pie for him. As the neighbors could not do anything to prevent TC from moving in, they had to bear the burden of having TC live in their midst.

The presence of TC and his family broke the tranquility of the village. Although residences can occupy a big lot, activities within residences can disturb the neighborhood. Given his popularity, TC would always have people coming in and out of his home. His guests coming from different sectors could be numerous such that their entry would be easily noticed. Of course, entering that village means one should be in a car, as walking is not a good idea in the area. More cars in the village create traffic as well as noise pollution, which the village has to suffer.

With guests come entertaining, and every day becomes one big gathering and/or party at the residence of TC. The guests talk on top of their voices and sometimes sound as though they are fighting, but they’re just really loud. Such behavior is a no-no in such an elite village, whose residents comprise ambassadors and diplomats of various states, business executives, wealthy politicians, and the old rich. On top of his guests are his numerous bodyguards who number more than a dozen. With their serenity of the village disturbed, homeowners decided to take action. After gathering evidence and talking about the effect of TC living in their village, the residents allegedly filed a petition to make TC leave their village. If they do succeed, then TC would learn that try as he might with his money and his popularity, he can never be part of high society even if he could wave more money than any of the residents of that exclusive village. Cash cannot buy breeding and the acceptance of high society.
