Chapter 3 - The True Owner
Daniel leaned closer to the open contract folder, his face draining of all color as his eyes scanned the legal lines at the bottom of the page.
"Mom... wait..." Daniel stammered, his voice rising in a panicked whisper. "That signature on the estate deed..."
Tiffany strutted up to the stage, her high heels clicking loudly against the polished wood as she tried to snatch the folder from Margaret's hands.
"Stop giving her attention, Daniel!" Tiffany snapped, her voice dripping with condescension. "She’s just trying to steal our spotlight because she knows her dead husband left her with nothing!"
Margaret didn't pull the folder away. She simply pointed her finger directly at the legal owner name stamped beneath the official estate signature line.
"You thought I owned this estate, Daniel," Margaret said, her tone resolute and dignified. "Your late father left it entirely to you."
Tiffany’s arrogant smirk instantly shattered into complete panic and confusion.
"Wait... what?!" Tiffany gasped, her hands dropping to her sides as her eyes darted frantically between Daniel and the paper. "Daniel owns the entire estate?!"
