Chapter 3 - The Building Manager Confirms The Shocking Property Registry
“Wait a minute… what did you just call her?” Lorraine stammered, her emerald green silk robe rustling as she shifted her weight.
Mr. Vance stepped past the doorway, holding a secure digital tablet displaying the official New York City property deed registry.
“The deed for Unit 12B is registered solely under the name Claire Bennett, purchased three years before her marriage,” Mr. Vance stated clearly.
“Furthermore, building management has received zero legal paperwork, title transfers, or co-ownership filings from Daniel Bennett.”
Claire didn't blink, keeping her sharp auburn hair framing her face as she looked straight at her mother-in-law.
“You heard the manager, Lorraine,” Claire said, her voice dropping an octave into a cold, metallic tone.
“You are standing in my apartment surrounded by my stolen belongings, wearing a stolen robe.”

“That’s impossible! Daniel swore to me he signed the title over to my name last Tuesday!” Lorraine shrieked hysterically.
