“But it looks terrifying “Celeste felt chills at the thought of the bug.
She’s most afraid of bugs Whenever a bug flew into her house, she would be so scared that she couldn’t sleep, she would have
to wake up Liam and ask him to help catch the bug Once, after Liam caught a bug, he brought it over to show her. He
accidentally let go and the bug jumped onto her face.
That night, she screamed at Liam and didn’t let him into the bedroom for a week
This fear was always there, but after Liam’s incident, it escalated. Now, whenever she saw a bug, she got goosebumps.
If Mason had let her touch the bug on her head just now, she might we freaked out and started jumping up and down on the spot.
That would’ve been totally embarrassing
Thinking of this, she looked up at Mason, “1 didn’t do anything embarrassing just now, did?”
Mason chuckled thinking of her stiff–as–a–board reaction, “Not at all, but your reaction was quite amusing I didn’t know you
would be so afraid.”
She weakly explained. “I wasn’t always this scared. I used to be just disgusted by bugs. But then that asshole Liam put a bug on
my face once. Since then, I tremble at the sight of those things.”
Mason went silent and took a sip of his water
After a while, he said, “You wanted advice on how to claim your mother’s house?”
“Yes,” Celeste immediately became serious when they got down to business, “According to Shawn, the house my grandfather
left my mother hasn’t been transferred I remember it was mentioned in my grandfather’s will. Shawn shouldn’t have a claim over
this house. But my mom once mortgaged this house for a bank loan, which they paid off together So I’m not too sure I wanted to
know whether I can still claim this house.”
“If there was a will, then the ownership of the house would be pretty clear The loan they paid off together also benefited them
both, so this shouldn’t affect the ownership of the house. And I’ve looked over the information you sent me. It seems like the
house was self–built, with land ownership and property rights. If this is the case, Shawn can’t legally handle the sale of this land.
That’s not allowed”
Celeste was thrilled. “So you mean I have a good chance of getting the house back?”
Mason nodded, “When are you free next? I can accompany you to the housing authority to check on the ownership of the house.
It’s best if we also go see whether the house has been transferred and whether it’s occupied, like Shawn said”
7 Celeste said, “Or why don’t you arrange for one of your interns to go with me? So that I can help them improve their skills?”
Mason looked at her and suddenly asked, “Hey Celeste, did I tick you off in any way”*
