The Heir Trap
"Clara, you went to college. Help me figure this out! That house is everything we have. Can we get it back?"
I hesitated, letting it show.
"It might be difficult. The transfer is already done. Unless we can prove it was stolen or forced…" I paused, then added, "But don't worry. I know a lawyer. He might be able to help."
Nora grabbed my hand, her grip tight. "Clara, I screwed you over before. I'm sorry. If you can get the house and the money back, I'll do whatever you want!"
I smiled, calm and obedient on the surface.
