Inside were copies of letters Eleanor had exchanged with Grant eleven years earlier.

One requested that he acknowledge the trust’s ownership before occupancy began.

Another refused his proposal to transfer the property to a company he controlled.

“He wanted it moved into Calloway Consulting Holdings,” Caroline said.

“Eleanor declined.

She was concerned about liabilities from his business.”

I turned a page and found a note in Eleanor’s handwriting.

Grant has a gift for making provision sound like possession.
