Chapter 333:
“Yes.” Kailey checked her phone. It was exactly 8:30. Kyson had sent a message earlier: “Away on business for two days.” She replied with a simple “Okay” and got out of bed.
After breakfast, a car horn sounded outside.
She stepped out and froze when she saw Devin.
“Isn’t Kyson traveling?” she asked. “Aren’t you supposed to be with him p>
“I am. I’ll take a later flight.” Devin grinned and motioned toward the car behind him. “He asked me to deliver something for you p>

Kailey’s eyes landed on the vehicle. A berry-red Ferrari, sleek and unmistakably luxurious, its curves radiating bold confidence. She stared for a moment. “This is for me p>
“Of course p>
Devin would have loved to keep it himself, but that was never an option. The car had been ordered from overseas months ago, and even finalizing the custom color had been a process.
Kailey let out a slow breath. “Alright. Please thank Kyson. I really like it.” She meant it — the color, the design, everything appealed to her. Still, valuing subtlety, she drove her usual car to work.
At ten-thirty, a visitor arrived.
The man wore a sharp suit, carried a briefcase, and exuded quiet professionalism. He introduced himself as the attorney representing her late mother.
“Ms. Evans, your mother placed her assets under my management. At present, the only property she retained direct control over was the mountain to the west p>
Kailey was surprised that Lionel had followed through. She steadied herself. “Thank you p>
The lawyer smiled politely and removed documents from his briefcase. “According to your mother’s will and supplementary agreements, the mountain was transferred to you as a gift on your twentieth birthday. Mr. Lionel Ward no longer holds any rights to its use. Naturally, if you wish to continue granting him access, we can formalize such terms p>
Kailey listened carefully, though doubt flickered briefly in her mind.
Lionel had held control for more than ten years, yet he had never cut down the trees or exploited the land. Clearly, profit wasn’t his goal.
Then why had he gone to such lengths to secure it?
Was there truly something hidden within that mountain?
The paperwork wrapped up in less than thirty minutes.
The lawyer handed Kailey a card before leaving. “Ms. Evans, if anything comes up, you can contact me p>
Kailey looked down at the name printed on it. Doyle Graham. She had heard of him — he specialized in financial law and had built a solid reputation.
After seeing him out, she remained by the window for a moment, thinking. Soon after, Lionel called. “Kailey, is everything settled p>
“It’s done. Thank you for arranging it, Uncle p>
“Why are you being so formal with me?” Lionel laughed lightly. “After thinking about it last night, I realized you’re right. Your mother didn’t leave much. There’s no need to develop the mountain. Let it stay as it is. But it’s not a safe place — don’t go there by yourself, alright? If you want to visit, tell me first. Otherwise I’ll worry p>
Kailey didn’t see anything wrong with his advice. “I understand, Uncle p>
