The buyer had dealt with Dylan.<\/p>\n
He had presented an old registration card, claimed he was handling Ray\u2019s estate, and signed the sale paperwork while Kayla waited nearby for the cashier\u2019s check.<\/p>\n
Priya filed the title dispute immediately.<\/p>\n
The buyer had acted in good faith, but Dylan could not legally transfer ownership of a Corvette he had never owned. The vehicle was flagged before a new title could be issued, and the buyer agreed to return it once the documents were verified.<\/p>\n
Then the bank records arrived.<\/p>\n
The $58,000 check had been deposited into Dylan\u2019s account. Within an hour, he transferred most of it to Kayla and kept several thousand dollars for himself.<\/p>\n
When I confronted them, Kayla blamed Dylan.<\/p>\n
Dylan said he had only wanted to keep the peace.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou did not keep the peace,\u201d I told him. \u201cYou helped sell your father\u2019s car out from under me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Corvette came home two weeks later, still untouched.<\/p>\n
Kayla and Dylan were required to return the money and cover the buyer\u2019s expenses caused by the invalid sale. Their involvement was also documented for the estate proceedings.<\/p>\n
I placed the empty key fob beside Ray\u2019s photograph in the garage.<\/p>\n
Then I started the engine.<\/p>\n
They believed blood made them the real family.<\/p>\n
But Ray had already put my name on the title, and in the end, his signature said more than theirs ever could.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
