Chapter 11 - SILAS KNEW

Silas did see my forged consent.
Emails proved it.
Robert sent:
Bennett approval attached.
Silas replied:
Is this enough for lender? Signature looks lifted.
My stomach dropped.
Robert:
Helen says Bennett approved concept. He doesn’t want paperwork drama.
Silas:
Then get him to sign fresh.
Robert:
No time.
Silas:
If he objects later we have a problem.
Robert:
He won’t.
Silas knew.
Not necessarily that I had never agreed.
But enough to question authenticity.
He proceeded anyway.
Later:
Silas to lender broker:
Beneficiary consent confirmed by family trustee.
That representation mattered.
Clara had been copied on none of those emails.
Her ignorance looked more plausible.
Not complete innocence.

She accepted rescue without asking.
Different conduct.
