Isolde, with a teasing smile, said, “If I really sold the mountain, wouldn’t my mother scold me to death? That mountain was bought by her, after all. I’m just trying to scare them, but honestly, I do plan to sell it.”

Clark, confused, looked at her. “What exactly are you doing? You say you won’t sell, but you are going to- what’s really going on here?”

Isolde smiled and said nothing, letting the mystery hang in the air.

Clark, still puzzled, turned to Oliver. “Do you know what she means?”

Oliver chuckled, “Of course I do. She’s being perfectly clear.”

“Clearly?” Clark frowned, looking between the two of them. “So, are we selling it or not?”

“She’s not selling it to just anyone, but she could sell it to the Langley family,” Oliver replied with a grin.

“But they can’t afford it,” Clark retorted.

“The Langley family isn’t just those few people. Aren’t you a part of the Langley family too?” Oliver teased.

Clark was momentarily taken aback. “Me? Sell it to me? I don’t have 10 million.”

“Sell it to you for one thousand,” Isolde said with a playful smirk. “When they come, we’ll say we’re preparing to sell the mountain at the government office. We’ll get the paperwork sorted, and the deed will be transferred to your name.”

“That can’t be right. One thousand can’t buy a mountain–it’s practically giving it away. I can’t accept that,” Clark said, shaking his head.

“It’s a family matter. Don’t worry about it,” Isolde said, her voice light. “You’re my mother’s son, and when it comes to my father’s funeral, you’ve been helping out with the arrangements. You have a right to share in what they left behind. After all, you gave me the title of Marquise–if anyone’s getting a good deal here, it’s me.”

Clark rolled his eyes. “You’re making it sound like this was always yours.”

Oliver, watching them exchange polite refusals, chuckled. “Geoffrey and Prunella would probably rest easy knowing you two get along so well.”
