Chapter 3 - The Reception Had Another Purpose

The wedding reception was supposed to include a family announcement.
I knew nothing about it.
Daniel represented the estate of our grandfather, Henry Whitmore.
He had died nine months earlier.
Claire and I were his only grandchildren.
Margaret was his widow.
Grandfather had owned the wedding estate, several commercial properties, and a substantial family trust.
I assumed Margaret controlled everything after his death.
Daniel corrected me.
“Not everything.”
At six o’clock, he was scheduled to read a trust memorandum in front of the immediate family.
The memorandum concerned ownership of the estate itself.
