The Family That Protects You
Naomi opened another envelope. My grandfather’s trust included conditional inheritances for Eleanor and Audrey—payable only if they avoided felony convictions and financial abuse against another beneficiary.
Sophia and Leo were named beneficiaries. The recorded attacks and forged transfers triggered an immediate suspension. A judge would decide the final forfeiture, but the money was already frozen.

Eleanor lunged at me, but Harris stopped her. “You planned this,” she hissed.
“No. You planned it. I documented it.”
