After my dad’s funeral, my brother-in-law boldly declared…

My brother-in-law exploded. However, the lawyer calmly reiterated the same statement. This is absurd.

Kelly is that old woman’s biological child. My brother-in-law erupted, sweeping items off the table in anger. You can’t deceive us.

Give us the inheritance now. Chris, did you try to harm my mom? I confronted him. He shot me an irritated glare.

What? I never did such a thing, he retorted. Then why was there a mistake with her medication? I pressed further. My brother-in-law scowled in annoyance.

Who cares about that, John? It’s outrageous that we’re not getting any inheritance, my sister interjected, seemingly losing her composure. What have you done? I asked her, stunned. It seemed she hadn’t rushed over after hearing about our mother’s passing, but had been banking on the inheritance to cover her expenses.

Tell me this isn’t true. I’m getting nothing. My sister demanded of the lawyer.

Well, the lawyer began carefully explaining the legal distribution of the inheritance. However, after deducting the amount my sister had withdrawn and the items she had sold, there was almost nothing left. She scratched her head in frustration.

This outcome was reached after consulting with the lawyer in advance, I interjected. That can’t be. It can’t be this little.

My sister muttered to herself, clearly dissatisfied. Having relied on our parents without ever experiencing the hardships of work, she seemed out of touch with reality. I couldn’t contain my contempt for her.

Mom thought you’d take care of her, but you just took her money and abandoned her, you ungrateful person. I couldn’t hold back my anger. Taking care of someone costs money, you know? What are you talking about? My sister shot back.

Then show me the detailed expenses you used for mom’s living costs. I’ll cover the necessary expenses, I challenged her, extending my hand. My sister’s face paled, and her lips trembled.

I don’t have that. Without receipts, it won’t be recognized, the lawyer emphasized, leaving my sister speechless. Facing her, my brother-in-law attempted to sway me with a pleading tone.

John, your sister really needs help. Can’t you lend her a hand, even just a little? I declined firmly, feeling my frustration growing, and it seemed my brother-in-law was reaching his limit too. If everything had gone as planned, Kelly would have had the entire inheritance by now, he muttered…
