Ryan was stunned too. He looked directly at Selena Horton and asked, "Did you leave the house with the property ownership certificate today?"
He suddenly remembered seeing that shady person talking to Selena earlier...
Ryan furrowed his brows, sizing up Selena with suspicion. "Today, you weren't asking that person for directions at all, were you? You were trying to mortgage the house, weren't you?"
Selena swallowed nervously. "I-I… This… This property ownership certificate… I'm not..."
"Not what?" Gavin Cobb sneered and slowly turned his gaze to Selena. "The Cobb family may keep a low profile, but in Clance, there aren't many who would dare cross us. You mortgaged the property today, and I've already received the news!"
Gavin wasn't lying. Without any help from Lewis Horton, the person who mortgaged the property was quick to report to the Cobb family as soon as they saw the property on the certificate.
