Chapter 11 - THE ORIGINAL ELEANOR

Paige discovered Eleanor Bennett had written letters before her death.
The bank stored them with the will.
One addressed to Paige.

Eleanor had seen the pattern decades earlier.
Margaret’s favoritism.
Eric’s entitlement.
Robert’s avoidance.

It was designed to prevent the house from becoming a reward for exploitation.
The clause now mattered.
