Chapter 24 - THE CHILDREN’S MONEY

The Bennett Descendants Trust audit found approximately $1.8 million in transactions requiring correction, reclassification, collateral substitution, or reimbursement across Mark’s branch and Richard-controlled projects.
Not all theft.
Some unauthorized.
Some conflicts undisclosed.
Some legitimate but poorly approved.
Richard lost management authority over Mark’s branch permanently.
A corporate fiduciary took over.
Noah and Sophie’s interests remained protected.
I had no unilateral control over millions.
Good.
The children would receive education support and staged beneficiary rights as adults.
No sudden fortune at eighteen.
Mark had been specific about that too.
Noah complained.
“Dad really didn’t trust me with a Lamborghini?”
“He met you.”

Sophie laughed.
Normality began returning in tiny pieces.
