Vengeful

Sarah immediately looked at William, her tone urgent. “Dad, this house is obviously. yours, right? Tell Audrey!”

Audrey watched William’s face grow darker and found it quite amusing. She thought, ‘If William had known that the deeds to the mountain and the house were with me, he would have taken them long ago.”

Rebecca noticed William’s silence and felt a wave of fear. She often boasted to her friends about living on the Greencloud Mountain, and many envied her. If this house really belonged to Audrey, how could she maintain her superior image?

“William, say something! Sarah is asking you! Rebecca’s voice trembled.

William, under everyone’s gaze, coldly looked at Audrey. “This house is mine, Audrey. Stop causing trouble!”

He didn’t believe Audrey could prove the house was hers. “When Damarion died, Audrey was so young. There was no way Damarion would have given the house directly to her. The deed must have Vivienne’s name on it. Since Vivienne was my wife, our property was shared, meaning the house was still mine. With this thought, William felt more confident.

Hearing William’s words, Rebecca and Sarah both sighed in relief. Sarah smirked. “Audrey, did you hear that? This house is Dad’s!”

Audrey, unfazed by William’s words, looked at him calmly. “My lawyer will be here soon, and then you’ll see whose house this really is.”

As soon as Audrey finished speaking, two cars pulled up and parked nearby. A group of people got out, led by a young man in a black suit. He had a handsome, serious face with gold–rimmed glasses and sharp eyes that scanned the crowd. He walked over to Audrey and shook her hand. “It’s nice to meet you. I’m Simon Evans from Starglow Law

Firm.”

Audrey shook his hand and said, “Nice to meet you, too. I’m Audrey Hernandez.”

Simon nodded to Audrey and then led his team toward William and the others.

Upon hearing the name, William’s face turned pale. He had heard of Simon, a legendary lawyer known as the best in Chritonia. Simon and his team were undefeated in court. William was shocked that Audrey had managed to hire such a top lawyer.

Even though Rebecca and Sarah didn’t know much about the legal world, they had

heard of Simon Evans‘ reputation. Hearing that Audrey had hired him, their expressions grew uneasy.

Simon stepped forward and stood in front of William, pulling a sealed envelope from his briefcase. His tone was cold. “Mr. Hernandez, on behalf of my client, I demand that you vacate my client’s property immediately. If you do not comply, I will call the authorities and take legal action.”

He took out a document from the envelope and handed it to William. “This is the original deed with my client’s name on it, along with the newly registered land and property certificates. The Greencloud Mountain and this house were gifts from Damarion Holland to my client for her first birthday.”

William’s hands trembled as he took the deed. To his shock, the name on the deed was Audrey’s, not Vivienne’s.

William couldn’t believe it, and neither could Rebecca and Sarah, who stood there pale and stunned.

Audrey’s claim that the entire mountain was hers turned out to be true. Sarah’s jealousy flared, her eyes green with anger. She thought, ‘Why? Why are the mountain and the house Audrey’s? How could they be hers?”

Rebecca’s face twisted with rage. ‘If the mountain and the house truly belonged to Audrey, then legally, William had severed ties with Audrey seven years ago, and we had no right to stay here. The thought made Rebecca feel sick.

William opened his mouth to argue, but with the land and property certificates as evidence, he had no arguments left.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Simon, ignoring the looks on their faces, collected the documents and put them back in the envelope. “Since it’s been proven that this house belongs to my client, please move out immediately. Otherwise, we’ll have to involve the authorities.”

Simon’s words struck them like a bolt of lightning. ‘Move out today? How could we possibly move everything out in one day?‘ They all thought.

Before they could protest, Simon added, “Oh, and the valuable antiques and paintings Damarion Holland bought are also inherited by my client. So, during your move, I will need to inventory those items. If any are missing, you will need to return them or pay

their value.”

She anger. What? Those antiques and paintings belong to her? Why?” Sarah erupted in had given one of the family’s antique vases, valued at over 12 million dollars, to a TV show’s investor to secure a lead role. She couldn’t afford to pay Audrey back.
