Before she reached her destination, she went to the city's law court.
She asked one of the woman passing by who seemed to be a lawyer " Do you happen to know where Attorney Tyson is ?"
" Oh !! He is in his private office upstairs,talking with one of his client." She replied.
"Well!! Thank y..."
"Your welcome " before she could even finish her words the woman bolted away in hurry.
When she got in front of the room, Attorney Tyson had just finished talking with his client and was managing his documents.
* Knock knock *
" Who is it ?" The question came from inside the room.
"It's me ." The answer came.
When Attorney Tyson heard the voice, he stopped whatever he was doing and rushed towards the door and opened it.
There he saw a girl standing in front of him with a smile on her face.
"Lori" he sounded surprised.
"Good morning, uncle" she said.
" What.., what are you doing here ?" He asked with surprised look still on his face.
" I've come to meet you. Can I come inside?"She said.
"Yeah, come inside." He opened the door even more while saying that.
She came inside sat on the sofa and looked at her surrounding.
" This place hasn't changed even a bit at all." She spoke.
(Jim Tyson was her family lawyer back then. He and her mother, Laura they were best friends who grew up together.Her mother used to bring her here all the time.
But after her mother's death, all of this stopped and she was finally seeing him again after so many years.)
"Is that so." "Would you like something to drink tea , coffee, anything?" He asked.
"No, thank you. " She replied.
" Compare to tea and coffee, I'm pretty sure you're more interested in this." He rummaged through a neatly stacked files and brought out a blue covered file.
She looked at the file and smirked and asked "how did you know? "
" What do you take me for ? I've been doing this job for years till now." He replied with a huff.
( The file she was holding was no ordinary file, it contained her mother's Will,all the important documents,and all her mother's inheritance,each and every one of it.
Be it companies, properties, assets everything her mother ever owned.)
" Your mother asked me to give it to you when you're capable of shouldering all the burden that comes with it. And from what I see, you're ready for it now." He said with a small smile in his face.
" Yes, I think I'm ready to face whatever challenges there is. I won't back down from anything ever again." She said with a confident look on her face.
After some conversation about this and that, she finally stood up and head towards the door to leave.
" Almost forgot. Are you still investigating on my mother's death." She turned around and asked.
He froze when he heard that. He looked down on the ground and replied." What do you think ?"
She took a long sad sigh and head out of the door.
As she was coming down, she thought " seems like he still hasn't come out of my mother's death yet. I guess It must've been extremely painful for him to lose the woman he secretly loved."
She took another cab and reached her destination.
She stood in front of the gate of the massive mansion and rang the door bell.
A servant immediately rushed out and asked the reason for her visit.
She crossed her arms and said in a clear and confident voice "TELL THE HEAD BUTLER THAT THE TRUE OWNER OF THE HOUSE HAS RETURNED."
The servant was clearly confused but still did as she was told. She went to the old head butler (probably in his sixties) and conveyed the news.
When the butler heard it, he ran as fast as he could and came out of the mansion. There he saw a girl crossing her arms and confidently standing outside the gate.
"Quickly, open the gate." He ordered the servants that came along with him who were wondering what came on to him for him run like crazy in his old age.
The servants still couldn't understand what's going on but they still followed the command and opened the gate.
She entered with confidence, not caring about the confused gazes of the servants.
"Welcome home,M'lady." The head butler bowed with his old back.
" I'm back, Stefan." She replied.
