Chapter 16 - GRACE’S ACCOUNT
Grace had not been passive.
That mattered.
She had made choices too.
She ignored legal aid twice because she feared Sterling attorneys.
She moved without updating some records.
She borrowed money from predatory lenders.
She hid from me after hearing I died instead of confirming independently.
Why?
“My phone calls never reached you before.”
“What do you mean?”
“I called your office.”
“When?”
“Dozens of times.”
“Who answered?”
“Usually assistant.”
My assistant at the time:
Leah Morgan.
Records showed calls forwarded to Family Management when from Grace’s number.
Who configured that?
IT request.
Authorized by:
May you like
Victoria Sterling.
My mother had literally routed Grace away from me.
