She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Maria was very put off by Isla, who intentionally emphasized that Maria was adopted by the Donovan family.

Suppressing her distaste, Maria put on a concerned expression. Joel, even though my mom is still in the hospital, she felt it's unfair after hearing about your situation. She's decided to give you that old house." "Really?" Isla's eyes widened almost in disbelief, sparkling with hope. "Is that what your adoptive mother really thinks? Can she really stand up to her husband?"

"In our family, Mom is the boss," Maria said with a smile. "Dad and my brothers always listen to her. However, there's one issue."

Joel sat up in bed, his face tense. "What issue?"

Maria explained, "The transfer requires the property deed, but the deed is with my grandfather.

"You know that we're not very close to him. If we ask him for the deed, he'll likely refuse once he realizes we want to transfer the house to you."

Joel immediately said, "That's easy to handle. We'll either steal it or convince him to give it to us."

Isla added, "Let's go see Grandpa today and find a way to get the property deed back."

"Sorry to trouble you," Maria replied. "As long as we get the deed back, we can go right away to complete the transfer paperwork."

The couple felt their pain fade away and exclaimed, "Maria, you have to tell Claire that we will definitely honor her!"

Maria smiled but didn't reply.

As Arthur met with Gavin and his group, Gavin and his wife asked, "When will your family take us to complete the transfer? We have the elderly and children to care for. This needs to be done soon so we can all rest." Arthur sincerely replied, "We can go for the transfer anytime. Do you have your ID and household registration?"

Only then did Gavin and the others remember they needed both parties' household registrations for the transfer. Before coming to Kitmore City, they hadn't anticipated this requirement.
