Evelyn stepped forward, holding a thick, leather-bound legal folio. “Julian Vance? I am Evelyn Reed, chief legal counsel for the Sterling Family Trust. I am here to serve you with an emergency order of immediate eviction and asset repossession.”
Victoria stepped out of the car, adjusting her sunglasses with an arrogant chuckle. “An eviction? Are you insane? This mansion belongs to Julian!”
Evelyn didn’t even glance at Victoria. She unclasped the folio, pulled out a certified deed, and read the document aloud in a crisp, echoing voice.
“The residential property located at 104 Sterling Way, along with the surrounding twelve acres, is held in exclusive, unencumbered ownership by the Sterling Family Revocable Trust—solely managed by Clara Sterling. Julian Vance holds no title, equity, or ownership stake whatsoever.”
Julian’s face went completely pale. “What? No… no! That’s impossible! We’ve lived here for six years! I’m her husband!”
