The family attorney arrived carrying a leather briefcase.
Victoria smiled confidently.
"I assume you're here to explain to your client that he can't throw me out."
The attorney calmly placed several folders on the dining table.

"The mansion is held in a family trust."
He opened the second.

The third.
"Her residence in this home depends entirely upon Mr. Bennett's written permission."
Victoria's smile disappeared.

The attorney looked at the father.
"Would you like me to continue?"
He nodded once.
"Effective immediately, that permission has been withdrawn."
