This question sh0cked her, bringing back thoughts of her father’s concerns about Bradd’s actual motives and how he was only interested in her for her father’s money.
Sarah disclosed, “When he asked about my inheritance, my expression must have betrayed my surprise. I responded, ’What inheritance? I won’t receive a dime from my dad. I’m not even mentioned in his will.’”
Bradd brushed it off as a joke or a result of her distress after the funeral, assuming she was talking nonsensically. Sarah countered, “There’s no inheritance for me because I’m not my dad’s biological daughter. I was adopted a year before my mom’s death, and although my dad raised me as his own, he never intended to include me in his will. I’ve known this my entire life.”
Bradd vanished as soon as he heard the “bad news” Sarah had for him.
In Sarah’s ongoing story, she reveals that Bradd filed for divorce less than a month after she discovered she did not inherit from her father. Sarah then scheduled a meeting with Bradd, which was facilitated by a family acquaintance who had previously worked with her father’s business.
At the dinner, Sarah’s father’s partner revealed her father’s will to Bradd. It contained a stipulation indicating that if Bradd remained married to Sarah for five years after her father passed away, he would be entitled to half of the inheritance, while Sarah would receive the other half. However, in the case of a divorce, Sarah was named as the only beneficiary of her father’s entire fortune and assets.
In her concluding words, Sarah expressed her contentment, remarking, “It was immensely gratifying to witness my ex’s sh*cked reaction. His face turned pale, then red, then pale again. He was left speechless, like a fish gasping for air out of water. I felt that my father’s plan had been fully realized, and he could finally rest in peace, knowing that I was thriving without that ’lazy, spoiled kid’ in my life.”
