Clarification

The next day Beth called the solicitors. Having found out about trusts and talked to her parents, obviously she wanted to go ahead with what would be a life-changing thing for Reuben and for them too. She was, however, slightly concerned about the legality and source of the funds. She wanted nothing to do with anything illegal.

The solicitor handling the matter assured her the source of the money was highly reputable and that it would be against the interests of their firm for it to be otherwise.

“Someone has to win the life lottery, Elisabeth. Reuben just did!”
