"An impostor?"
Clara repeated the word slowly, as if saying it aloud might make the accusation less absurd.
Arthur was still on the phone.
"That's what the petition claims. My father says the man at the facility has no verified identity and that the medical records proving his condition are unreliable."
Clara's grip tightened around her phone.
"Who prepared the medical report?"
"An independent physician appointed by his legal team. Apparently, the report states that Edward Delevon is suffering from severe cognitive impairment and cannot make decisions regarding his estate."
"Has the doctor examined him?"
"Not yet. But the petition requests an emergency assessment and temporary control over his legal affairs."
Clara let out a cold laugh.
"So your father wants to take control of my father's estate before anyone can establish that he's alive."
"That's exactly what it looks like."
"Don't let them near him."
"I won't."
