Chapter 10 - The Ultimate Eviction
The bright sunlight reflected off the white marble counter as Eleanor held the phone to her ear, watching her son weep on the floor.
"Send the letter," Eleanor commanded firmly into the smartphone. "The property is officially going on the market tomorrow morning. I want the immediate, legal eviction notice served to the current occupants by 5:00 PM today. If they aren't out, call the local sheriff."
She ended the call and slipped the smartphone back into her pocket.
