Chapter 4 - ELENA'S INVENTORY
Elena started as a housekeeper.
Over eleven years, she became the person who knew the Caldwell house better than anyone.
She knew which silver belonged to Catherine’s mother, which paintings were loans, which jewelry belonged to Clara and Lily, and which pieces were in off-site storage.

Blake Private Storage & Logistics.
Art transport.
Jewelry storage.
