Chapter 947:
Rylie started to reach into her pocket, but Felix was already setting a sleek black card on the table and sliding it toward the director. “This is a platinum black card. All costs tied to operating the Klein Private Reserve can be charged here, under my sister’s authorization.”
Rylie’s fingers curled around a cash card loaded with fifty million. Yet compared to Felix’s limitless black card, her contribution suddenly felt insignificant.
She paused and murmured, “Felix…”
Felix cut her off gently. “Of all things, money isn’t something I run short on—especially when it concerns you… and those animals.”
A broad smile spread across the director’s face. Not even in their wildest expectations had they imagined such generosity from the Owen family, the wealthiest household in Eshea. It was a welcome contrast to donors who demanded constant publicity and praise in exchange for their charity.
Bowing low as he accepted the card, the director assured them, “This resolves the reserve’s financial worries. We will assign a dedicated supervisor to manage every expense and send quarterly reports directly to Miss Owen’s inbox.”
Rylie slipped the black card into her pocket with a quiet nod. Then, thinking of young Ella, she added, “I have one condition.”
Still brimming with admiration for the Owen family, the director looked momentarily startled by the sudden request. “Are you hoping we release a statement to the media? Please relax, we—”
“No,” Rylie interrupted softly. “The ranger position here should always be left open for Ella. She deserves to visit her friends at the reserve every weekend. And if she grows up with the same love she has now, she will serve as the guardian of the Klein Private Reserve.”
The director hesitated. “You mean the little girl who owns the lion?”
Rylie confirmed with a small nod.

The director straightened, his expression turning earnest. “Understood. I will make sure this is arranged.”
Still confined to her hospital bed, Ella never imagined that the promise made by a woman she had met only once would actually come true.
When the reserve director stepped into her room and personally handed her two ranger access badges, tears gathered in her eyes and spilled helplessly down her flushed cheeks.
Watching Rylie help his daughter with such sincerity, Samson covered his face with trembling hands, overwhelmed by guilt and regret as he quietly sobbed. “She truly is someone of remarkable kindness.”
Although Rylie never asked for recognition, the reserve director shared her accomplishments publicly anyway. Instead of relying on his usual habit of flattering powerful donors, this time he genuinely wanted the world to learn about this fearless, compassionate young woman.
As news of Rylie’s actions spread, her name quickly became linked with courage and benevolence, and the admiration for her only continued to grow.
Even aboard the private jet heading home, as the flight attendant prepared her meal, she couldn’t resist offering warm praise. “You are such a wonderful person. I hope fortune smiles on you wherever you go.”
Rylie replied with a gentle smile, already growing used to the constant stream of compliments that followed her everywhere.
