After my father-in-law died, my lazy, jobless husband inherited $75 million—and he dumped me immediately. He smirked, kicked me out, and sneered, “I don’t need you anymore, you useless woman.” But during the will reading, the estate attorney shot him a strange look. “Did you even read the will?” he asked. That’s when my ex’s face drained of color… and the panic set in.
"I'm rich now, Joanna. Seventy-five million dollars!" Derek shouted, his face flushed with excitement. He stood in the doorway, hands on his hips, radiating arrogance. "I don't need a waitress dragging me down anymore. You're worthless. Get out!"
He threw my suitcase down the steps. The zipper burst, spilling my clothes onto the cold concrete. I stood there, stunned. Fifteen years of working double shifts, paying his debts, caring for his dying father... all erased in ten minutes. His father, Theodore, had been dead for only three days, and Derek was already discarding me to enjoy his inheritance alone.
I left with forty-three dollars in my pocket and a shattered heart.
Three days later, at the reading of the will, Derek strutted into the lawyer's office wearing a brand-new suit, loudly bragging about buying a yacht. He saw me in the corner and sneered. "What are you doing here? This is family business."
Vincent Rodriguez, the estate lawyer, stepped forward, his expression grim. "Theodore insisted she be here, Derek."
Derek scoffed, leaning back in his chair. "Fine. Just read it. I have a meeting with a real estate broker."
Vincent cleared his throat and opened the thick document.
"I, Theodore James Harrison, leave to my son Derek... the sum of five thousand dollars and my old fishing equipment."
The room went dead silent. Derek's smirk vanished. He jumped up, his face draining of color. "What? Five thousand? Where's the company? The house? The seventy-five million?"
Vincent looked at him calmly over his glasses, then turned to me. "The remainder of the estate, including the construction company and all properties... Theodore has left to the only person who truly deserved it."
