Chapter 121 Targeting Her
It was Tess who snapped herself out of it first. “All of this… Everything in this room has been left to me?” she asked.
“Yes,” the staff member replied.
“Then what about those two rows of bookshelves?”
Tess couldn’t help but ask. Her eyes didn’t linger on the dazzling jewelry or the property deeds in front of her. Instead, they drifted toward the shelves.
The staff member hesitated for a second.
After all, he’d been in this line of work for years and was used to seeing people get overwhelmed with excitement or frozen in shock after suddenly inheriting a fortune. Usually, no one even asked about anything else.
But this young woman in front of him had already calmed down as if none of this enormous wealth mattered at all.
The staff member was quietly surprised. His attitude toward Tess shifted, and his tone became noticeably more respectful.
“Those are some rare documents Mrs. Larson left for you. Most of them are incomplete manuscripts,” he explained.
“Rare documents?” Tess repeated, a little confused, but her feet were already moving toward the shelves.
As she scanned the shelves, her eyes widened.
She had always known that Gillian wasn’t just a wealthy socialite; she was also a world- renowned pianist.
And now, here in front of her, were the handwritten scores and lyrics of many of history’s greatest musicians.
Tess couldn’t believe it. Her fingers itched to start flipping through them.
She was raised by Gillian, who taught her everything from a young age.
Most people only knew about her achievements in law, but few realized she was also well- versed in music and medicine.
She slowly moved past the first bookshelf, then stopped at the second.
Just as she suspected, the second shelf wasn’t about music. It was filled with case files from Lock Group’s most notorious cases, rare paintings from across the world, and ancient medical texts that were nearly impossible to find anymore.
By the time she finished looking through both shelves, Tess’s chest was tight with emotion.
The real treasure in this room wasn’t the jewelry or the estates–it was these books and manuscripts.
Any one of them could sell for an astronomical price at auction.
Tess forced herself to steady her breathing and keep her expression calm.
“How secure is this room?” she asked, her tone serious.
The staff member was caught off guard. Hardly anyone ever asked that. But he answered with confidence, “This is protected with military–grade security. The lock on the door uses classified technology.”
He patted his chest as if to swear on it, and Tess finally let herself relax a little.
“Can you keep everything in here under your custody for now? I’ll pay the storage fees.”
The staff member was surprised but nodded. “Of course. That won’t be a problem.”
Usually, when someone inherited something like this, they couldn’t wait to take it all home right away.
