Marshall smiled and said, “Alright, then. I’ll talk on the phone.” “Okay,” Ste replied.
“Remember when I told you about the kindergarten in the backyard? Wanna guess who owns it?”
Ste immediately thought of Albert and asked, “Is it Albert?”
“No, it’s actually owned by Hylda and your Aunt Lydia. They are business partners. Hylda is the one
who provides the capital and primarily takes the profits, while Lydia manages the operations.”
‘So that’s why Aunt Lydia and her family never left.’
“ording to my findings, the kindergarten is doing very well in the local area. Greenwood Grove is
part of the old side of town. Since the city government is currently carrying out an urban renewal n,
the regtions for buildings in the area are quite strict. Apart from public preschools, the kindergarten
is the only private property there. Just imagine how popr the school is.”
The total number of students in the kindergarten exceeded 1000. With each child paying four figures for
tuition every month, the monthly ie amounted to millions of dors. Moreover, Hylda and Lydia did
not have to pay rent. Aside from necessary expenses like teachers’ sries and utility fees, they were
left with a ie of six to seven figures each month.
‘No wonder Hylda is so rxed right now. She has another source of ie,’ thought Ste. She
could not believe that Hylda had used the Spade family’snd for her business.
“But, don’t they need approvals from relevant departments to build on that piece ofnd? They would
also need a license to open a kindergarten. How did they manage to obtain those without the proper
documents? How are they allowed to operate there?” she asked.
“They must have all the necessary permits. I’m guessing some of them are fake,” Marshall said in a low
voice.
Ste fell silent. ‘Hylda must have umted quite awork after being by Albert’s side for so long.
She would’ve easily obtained the required paperwork with some help.’
“You previously mentioned that the front yard of the house belongs to your grandfather, while the
backyard belonged to his two brothers. So, I asked a friend to check the ownership of these two plots.
Even though Albert has your grandpa’snd certificate, the house itself is owned by Lydia and her
husband. They filed for it with the housing authorities. But, they couldn’t obtain the necessary
documents for the plot ofnd behind it since it doesn’t belong to Mr. Hall Sr.”
“Are you busy today? If you’re not, I can take you to the relevant department and help you secure the
land patent for the backyard. This document is crucial for you to get back that piece ofnd.”

Ste was taken aback. ’Didn’t you say that the procedures would be difficult to navigate without the
help of my grandpa’s brothers?”
“That may be true for others, but I have my ways,” Marshall chuckled.
“Tell me more.”
“These skills are my livelihood, Ste. I might lose my career if I let you in on my secrets,” Marshall
replied yfully.
Steughed and said, “I don’t think I have the talent to steal your methods. Otherwise, I wouldn’t
have lost everything after my divorce with Keegan.”
Marshall chuckled. “So. when should we go and get the license?”
Ste found that Marshall’s words were ambiguous. “Let me check with my manager to see if I have
anything going on today. I’ll call you backter.”
“Sure, I’ll be waiting,” said Marshall.
After ending the call with Marshall, Ste immediately called Keegan to exin the situation. Upon
hearing that she nned to go with Marshall to obtain thend certificate, Keegan’s face darkened.
“No, you can’t go with him. I’ll apany youter.”
