A Heartfelt Letter about a Father’s Passing

Sarah, 37, recently penned a heartfelt letter sharing her deep sadness over the passing of her father. Raised solely by her father after her mother’s tragic death, their bond was extraordinary. Her father, a renowned lawyer, was often referred to as a “wizard” or “genius” in legal circles and had amassed a net worth nearing a billion dollars. Despite their wealth, he taught Sarah the value of modesty and hard work.

Teaching the Importance of Independence

“He wouldn’t even assist me in preparing for my entrance examinations,” Sarah recalled, emphasizing how her father insisted she earn her success independently. After graduating with honors and securing a job at a small law firm, her father refused to offer her a position in his enterprises, stressing the importance of her forging her own path.

Skepticism Towards Love

Sarah’s relationship with Bradd, a fellow student, was met with skepticism by her father. “My father always told me that Bradd was a lazy, entitled man,” she remembered.

A Surprising Revelation

After her father’s death, Bradd’s true motives came to light when he immediately inquired about Sarah’s inheritance. Shocked, Sarah responded, “What inheritance? I won’t receive a dime from my dad. I’m not even mentioned in his will.”

A Well-Executed Plan

However, Sarah had a final revelation for Bradd. Her father’s will stated that if Bradd remained married to Sarah for five years, he would receive half of the inheritance; otherwise, Sarah would inherit everything. “It was immensely gratifying to witness my ex’s shocked reaction,” Sarah said, feeling that her father’s plan had been fully realized.
