Aged Gentleman Grants All His Assets to Youthful Spouse, Endowing Only an Ancient Barn to Granddaughter – Story Of The Day
When Sharon’s grandfather passed away, he bequeathed everything to his girlfriend, leaving Sharon with only the aged barn. However, as she delved into this inheritance, something striking came to light.
“I understand you were never fond of her, Sharon. But for now, you’ll have to handle matters with Anna. The old barn and its surrounding land are now yours,” Sharon’s mother conveyed after the will reading by the lawyer at her mother’s place. Sharon would now be responsible for settling all the arrangements.
Contrary to their expectations, her grandfather left his primary residence to Anna, his young companion with whom he started a relationship after Sharon departed for college. Although Anna was often perceived as a fortune hunter, she brought happiness to his last years.
“Did you find anything interesting?” Anna inquired, feigning curiosity, but Sharon sensed she was probing for information.
At some point, Patrick divided his property into two separate parcels, bestowing the main house upon Anna and leaving the old barn by the creek to Sharon. Once home to her grandfather’s horse, the barn now served as storage.
Sharon couldn’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment, as she had always expected her Grandpa Patrick to leave her the cherished jewelry of her late grandmother. Although her grandmother had passed away before Sharon’s birth, her mother had recounted the story of a magnificent jewelry collection stored in her closet.
Eager suitors, including a wealthy man, had showered her grandmother with rings, necklaces, earrings, and more, even after she married Grandpa Patrick.
