On the 14th of September, Edmund Tate was declared dead. It was a tragic day for the Tate family and for Edmund's close friend, Pastor Alden Graves. Everyone mourned Edmund's passing, everyone except his only son, Benjamin Tate, who was already fixated on his father's property and the changes he planned to make.
Pastor Alden and Benjamin had never had a good relationship, and Edmund's death only worsened things. Benjamin's decision to change his father's property caused immediate conflict between them. The pastor tried to reason with him, reminding Benjamin of the bond he had with his father and how these changes would disrespect that memory. Benjamin didn't care. His decision was final: the church had to vacate the building.
With the pastor distracted, Renny knew it was the right time to make his move on Caleb.
