Chapter 4 - Sarah Claims Ownership Of The Grand Mansion
Sarah walked slowly toward the mahogany table where her abandoned gold wedding band rested upon the pristine white china plate.
She picked up the small gold ring, sliding it back onto her left hand—not as a symbol of marriage, but as a reminder of her strength.
“Mr. Harrison, does this ownership transfer take effect immediately?” Sarah asked, looking directly at the family attorney.
“Effective instantly, Mrs. Vance—or rather, Ms. Harrison, as your maiden name is restored in the corporate registry,” the lawyer confirmed.
Evelyn gasped audibly, stepping forward as if she intended to physically block Sarah from claiming her rightful property.
“You can’t just throw us out into the freezing snow on Christmas night! We have rights!” Evelyn screamed hysterically.
“The only rights you have left are the ones granted by my client,” Mr. Harrison replied, stepping firmly in Evelyn’s path.
Sarah looked down at her former mother-in-law with a gaze so cold and distant that Evelyn instinctively stepped back.
“You spent years telling me I didn't belong in this house, Evelyn,” Sarah said softly, her voice echoing in the grand hall.
