Chapter 18 - The Eviction
The bank officially seized Beatrice's historic estate.
Because Elena owned the debt, she was allowed to oversee the property transfer.
Beatrice had been released on bail, pending her criminal trial.

"You ruined our family!" Beatrice hissed, clutching a cheap purse.
"No, Beatrice," Elena corrected her calmly.
"Your pride and your greed ruined your family."
Elena handed the foreclosed keys to a local charity organization director.
"This estate will now serve as a battered women's shelter," Elena announced proudly.
