Chapter 108 

Valen POV 

Tatum and I went and dropped the vial off last nightDoc split it into samples before sending it off to the labs, and this morning I was taking Everly to the accountant, deciding after last night I didn’t want her on her own anywhere.

Everly had been nervous all morning about something, and I could tell she wanted to ask me something. She was weird when I got home last night, making me wonder if she argued with her father or something.

Glancing at her, I decided to ask her because her weird mood was freaking me out. “What’s wrong?” I asked as we pulled up at a set of traffic lights

“I am worried about the accountant,” she answers.

Why?” 

“Because I wasn’t expecting you to come with me,” my brows pinch together wondering what she meant. Itthat bad?” NoBut I did something when I inherited everything, and I was hoping it remained hidden, but now you will find out,” she says.

“What did you do?

“I got even. And also I was angry at you, so just don’t be mad. But it was a lot of money, DJ-NM %E> I had this stupid idea, but it may piss you off.” She shakes her head. “You won’t tell me?” she shakes her head. “And you told no one? And how much money did my mother leave you?”

“Zoe and Macey know. We had a good laugh about it, but I wasn’t expecting you or anyone to find out.” I was going to ask her what it was when she spoke again.

“I also wanted to ask you about the hotel. Macey said something to me last night, but I worry it may upset you also,” she says. “Why would it upset me? It’s your hotel,” I tell her. WelllegallyyesBut it was your mother‘s,” “You don’t want to continue the rebuild or sell it?” I ask, wondering what she is getting at. My mother left it to Everly. I would never interfere with the hotelMum wanted her to have it.

Therefore Everly was free to do as she pleased with itThough hoped she wouldn’t sell it off. “No. Not sell it, sell it, I will still own itbut...” my brows furrow, and I accelerate as the light turns green.

“Just say it, Everly,” I tell her, and she sighs.

“I was planning on doing it anyway before you came back into the picture. But now you are, I
