Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 348

Yale looked distinctly uneasy.

“I mean… isn’t this a bit much? What if we’re wrong? Dad would lose his mind if we brought this up and it turned out to be nothing.”

“But what if we’re right?” Lacey’s curiosity was piqued, too.

Imagine suddenly discovering an unknown uncle. If the guy was harmless, fine—but what if he had ambitions? These years, Landon had managed the Ford Group perfectly. If someone new showed up trying to snatch the inheritance, it would be bad news for both the Ford Group and the Ford family as a whole.

It’s not like high-society families haven’t seen their fair share of ugly inheritance battles. The Fords were practically the only ones left who’d managed to keep things peaceful.

Zane agreed instantly. “Good idea. The building can be part of Zinnia’s wedding dowry. Especially now that she and your clueless older brother have signed the divorce papers.”

“Exactly!” Leanna’s eyes sparkled. “And you should go in person for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.”

“Of course.”

Meanwhile, Zinnia and Landon were at the property office, transferring all the real estate out of his name.

As they signed the paperwork, Zinnia could feel the staff glancing at her, their expressions a little different now—maybe even respectful.

When they walked out, Landon turned to her, hesitating for a moment before speaking.

“Let me drive you back to campus.”
