Gavin looked completely thrown off as he turned to Selena. "Did you take the house deed with you today?"
He suddenly remembered seeing someone earlier, sneaking around and talking to her.
His brows furrowed in suspicion. "That guy you were talking to—he wasn't asking for directions, was he? Were you trying to mortgage the house?"
Selena swallowed nervously. "I... I wasn't..."
"Wasn't what?" Ryan let out a cold laugh, his gaze cutting toward her. "Our family might stay under the radar, but here in Clance, not many people are brave enough to cross us. You tried to mortgage the house, and I found out within hours."
Ryan wasn't exaggerating. The second someone sees the Cobb name on a property deed, he would be informed.
That house belonged to Gavin, and if anyone tried to mortgage or sell it without him personally handling the deal, they'd definitely inform the Cobbs first.
