Everything had already been arranged by Caitlin, and Sebastian had made the necessary connections in advance. Caitlin invited the peksan leaders into the Fragrance & Dye Studio, while Timothy wore a forced smile, inwardly seething with frustration,
He was trapped–Caitlin had maneuvered him into a corner. Now, if he refused to transfer the ownership, he would look selfish and good he
reputation. Though Timothy was extremely unwilling, the situation had progressed beyond his control; he had no choice but to go along with
- it.
Inside the largest hall of Fragrance & Dye Studio, several of the leaders discussed the matter of transferring the ownership of the studio. They spoke with unanimity about the legacy of Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio and its historical importance.
“Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio is a treasure of Departure City, V Country. If it can be revitalized, it will be a great benefit to us all
“With the return of the rightfut heir, revitalizing Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio is no longer just a dream.
“It would be a huge gain for Departure City. We’ll work together to ensure that this endeavor succeeds.”
Faced with the leaders‘ attitudes, Timothy forced a smile, trying to delay, “Well, actually, this matter isn’t something to rush into.”
But he didn’t understand the current situation. The leaders were already moving forward with the process, speaking over each other as they discussed the next steps. Caitlin took charge of the situation, “Thank you all for your attention. As the rightful heir to Fragrance & Dye Studio, I will do my utmost to revive the fragrance and dye industry. Now, let’s go over the paperwork and see what needs to be done.”
“If we can have the original land deed of Fragrance & Dye Studio, that would be ideal. But if not, as long as Timothy is willing to sign the transfer agreement and sever the ties between The Yuncey Family and Fragrance & Dye Studio, we can proceed.”
Timothy’s face turned dark as he listened to their conversation. He considered feigning a heart attack to disrupt the transfer ceremony. His hand moved to his chest, but before he could act, Caitlin spoke, “I have the deed that Eleanor left behind. Please take a look.”
Seeing Caitlin take out the land deed, Timothy almost choked on his own rage. The deed that The Yuncey Family had lost was indeed taken by Eleanor!
Caitlin presented the deed, carefully wrapped in plastic, to the leaders. She had discovered it inside the cover of the upper part of the Yun’s Aromatic Codex, which was left by her grandmother. This made her suspect that the rumored royal tomb and treasure might not even exist.
The real treasure everyone coveted was likely this deed, the ownership of Fragrance & Dye Studio.
The leaders gathered around to examine the deed. After some inspection, they confirmed that it was authentic, marked with the seal of The Yuncey Family’s legacy.
“Good, with the deed in hand, this process will be much easier.”
The leaders pushed the transfer agreement in front of Caitlin.
“Now, all that’s needed is for Caitlin to sign it!”
This meant that Caitlin could directly obtain the ownership, bypassing Timothy entirely. It was as if Timothy had spent all these years protecting Fragrance & Dye Studio on behalf of Eleanor.
“Thank you, everyone. In that case, I’ll sign the transfer agreement now.”
Caitlin signed her name on the agreement. To avoid any further complications, she made a request in front of everyone, “I’d like your agency
to also issue a document officially severing the ties between Fragrance & Dye Studio and The Yuncey Family. I plan to develop Fragrance & Dye Studio into an independent business, free from any interference. It would be best if it is fully separated from The Yuncey Family”

“Of course!” The leaders quickly agreed, and after some discussion, they drafted another document. One of them turned to Timoth said, “Timothy, we’ll need your signature here as well to finalize the separation.”
The document in front of Timothy left him with no room to maneuver. He was
prepared to sign.

Just as Timothy was about to sign, Carmen rushed in, shouting, “Don’t sign!”
Everyone turned to see Carmen storming in, now changed into fresh clothes, with Randall following behind her.
“Everyone, don’t be fooled by Caitlin! She wants Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio. Her ambition is clear. She’s after the wealth of The Yuncey Family!”
Carmen was desperate to expose Caitlin’s supposed scheme, but Caitlin wasn’t intimidated.
“Carmen! You can eat your food in any way you like, but don’t say anything out of line. Am I really after The Yuncey Family’s wealth? Let me ask you this: going back to my grandmother and her generation, who was in charge of The Yuncey Family?”
Carmen shot Caitlin a glare, but Caitlin’s icy gaze only intensified.
“It was my grandmother’s mother, Alexandra. My grandmother’s father was The Yuncey Family’s son–in–law. The family’s fortune was passed down to the daughter, so why did Timothy inherit it later? Who disrupted The Yuncey Family’s system of inheritance?”
Caitlin’s question was sharp, challenging and forcing everyone to rethink the family’s legacy.
“I don’t care about what happened in the past! What I know is that Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio is an inseparable part of The Yuncey Family. You’ve caused nothing but trouble since you returned, and now you want to take it independent? What are you really after?” Carmen said, her voice trembling with frustration.
She was young and didn’t know the full story. She believed that her family was the true heir to The Yuncey Family’s legacy, and the studio should rightfully belong to them.
Timothy, wary of delving too deep into the past, quickly cut Carmen off, “Enough, Carmen!”
“Grandfather…” Carmen wanted to argue, but Timothy’s sharp tone made her bite back her words. He was too old to let his granddaughter continue this rant.
“Enough! Caitlin is the rightful heir to Eleanor. She’s entitled to inherit Fragrance & Dye Studio. I trust that she will be able to revive it.” Timothy signed the document, and the officials from various departments signed as well. It was all legitimate and official.
With the paperwork finalized, Caitlin turned to the leaders and politely said, “Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to working with all of you to bring Fragrance & Dye Studio back to its former glory.”
“Of course, Caitlin! We all wish Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio great success!” one of the leaders responded.
With the business done, the leaders left, but Caitlin called the head of the Cultural Bureau back, “I have one more favor to ask.”
Timothy’s brow furrowed. What more could this girl be up to?
