The man remained calm and unfazed, pulling out a business card and speaking clearly.
“My name is Thomas Gray, and I represent Miller Holdings as legal counsel.”
Susan frowned in confusion, while Kayla exchanged a nervous glance with her.
“Miller what,” Susan asked with irritation.
The woman with the briefcase stepped forward and opened it, revealing a stack of official documents.
“We are here to inspect the property located at 118 Oakridge Avenue,” Thomas said while reading from the papers in a steady voice.
Kayla laughed nervously and stepped beside her mother, trying to assert control again.
“You must have the wrong place because this is our home,” she insisted. “We live here and we take care of everything.”
Thomas briefly glanced at his colleague before lifting his gaze and looking directly at Paige instead of them.
“Actually, this property legally belongs to Ms. Paige Miller,” he stated calmly.
A heavy silence followed, broken only by distant sounds from the neighborhood as Susan struggled to process what she had just heard.
“That is ridiculous,” Susan snapped while her voice began to shake slightly. “What nonsense are you saying right now.”
