Chapter 8 - Margaret Thought Noah Was Temporary
Margaret’s resentment went back years.
My wife, Sarah, died when Noah was three.
Before that, Margaret had never accepted her.
Sarah came from a working-class family.
Margaret believed I married “beneath” the Whitmore name.
When Noah was born, Grandfather adored him.
That made Margaret worse.
She assumed Claire would eventually inherit the estate and preserve the Whitmore social world exactly as it was.
Grandfather disagreed.
He wanted future descendants protected from any one family member’s financial decisions.
Margaret considered the trust an insult.
Not because she hated Noah personally.
Because his existence changed the line of control.
