My Late Mom Became Rich Overnight Ten Years Ago, but along with Her Inheritance, I Received a Letter Saying, You Are a Thief
After my mother passed, I found myself in her room, surrounded by her belongings, when a letter arrived addressed to her. It accused her of theft, claiming she had stolen a fortune from someone named Charles. I was shocked—my mom was the most honest person I knew. The letter included an address, and despite my doubts, Neil and I went to investigate.
The house was grand but aged, and the woman who greeted us, Irene, revealed that my mother had been Charles’s caregiver. She accused my mother of manipulating him into leaving her half of everything in his will, cutting out his own children. I refused to believe it, but when I noticed Neil’s strange familiarity with the house, I began to suspect something was off.
At home, I found a letter from Charles to my mother—he wasn’t just her employer; he was her father, trying to make amends for abandoning her. The inheritance wasn’t theft—it was a father trying to right his wrongs.
Soon after, Irene and Neil arrived with paperwork to transfer the inheritance. It became clear that they had conspired together, and Neil confessed. I kicked him out, and I tore up the documents. My mother hadn’t stolen anything. She’d been given what she was owed. I would protect her legacy and ensure the truth was known. Her strength, not money, was the greatest inheritance she left me.
