Eleanor arrived at the mansion that evening.
She asked Daniel to show her the contract.
Victoria immediately interrupted.
Those are private business documents.
Eleanor looked at her.
Then why does my dead daughters name appear on them?
Daniel froze.
Claire was not Eleanors daughter.
But Eleanor had loved Daniels late wife like family.
Daniel opened the contract again.
Eleanor pointed toward several clauses.
They transferred control of a family trust.
The trust had originally been created by Claire for Sophie.
Daniel looked confused.
Victoria told me these papers only reorganized the company.
Eleanor stared at him.
Read page twelve.
Daniel did.
His expression slowly changed.
If approved, nearly all control over Sophies trust would move into a new holding company.
The director of that company was Victoria.
Daniel looked at her.
You told me this protected Sophie.
Victoria remained calm.
It does.
Eleanor shook her head.
No.
It protects you.
Then Sophie entered the room holding her phone.
Dad.
I saw something else.
