The Protector

“What? Someone bought the resort?”

Terence froze in his tracks.

Zoey was shocked as well.

Could this be a coincidence?

Did Levi actually buy the resort last night with that phone call?

“That’s right. The paperwork was done last night, but he only requested to see it today.”

Mr. Ziegler’s words hit Zoey like a train.

She tossed Levi a quizzical look. Was it you? She questioned with her eyes.

“M-Mr. Ziegler, w-who bought the resort?”

Terence began to stammer as the scary truth dawned upon him.

“He’s right in front of you!” Mr. Ziegler said, smiling.

Mr. Ziegler took one step forward and bowed low to Levi. “Mr. Garrison, the ownership of the Clear Sky Resort has now been transferred to you. Here is the contract for your reference.”

Boom!

It was as though a meteorite had landed upon Terence when Mr. Ziegler spoke those words.

He felt as though he had been cracked open from the head down.

It was him all along!
