Chapter 8 - HELEN’S LAPTOP
The independent forensic accountant was Rina Patel.
She had the emotional warmth of a stapler and the exact temperament needed for family financial warfare.
She obtained copies of records through court order.
Trust email.
Loan documents.
Robert’s desktop.
Helen’s laptop.
A folder appeared.
HOUSE.
Inside:
Loan proposal.
Appraisal.
Silas projections.
My scanned signature.
Then a Word document.
Title:
BENNETT POSITION.
Created by Helen.
Bullet points:
Bennett already receives future house.
Josephine only child—no need to preserve property for multiple heirs.
Clara has two children.
Bennett earns more.
Amelia insurance covered his needs.
If asked directly, Bennett may refuse.
Robert should present decision as already necessary.
Helen can remind him Clara received less from Walter.
The last line made me stare.
Clara received less.
False.
Helen knew the original numbers.
She had witnessed the estate inventory.
