Ellie was shocked when a lawyer called her to inform that she was named in an inheritance. She was an orphan for her whole life and she had no known relatives. She asked that if they sure they got the right person.
The lawyer said that Mr. Greenwood ordered it, but Ellie knew no such a person named Mr. Greenwood.
The lawyer then stated that no matter what, Mr. Greenwood left her something, and that she should come to his office as soon as she can so they can talk about the details.
Ellie was only three months old when she lost her parents in a car crash. For the last 28 years, she never met with a blood relative.
When she was 18, she started to work on part-time jobs. She then went to college, and now she had a decent job to keep her life stable.
She went to the lawyer’s office on the next day to learn about that Mr. Greenwood. When she went into the office, Mr. Stevens greeted her. He then took her to a seat for he was about to explain the situation.
Then he revealed that Mr. Greenwood was the man who caused her parent’s car crash. He was responsible for their passing.
Ellie was petrified. She wasn’t expecting to learn that the man who killed her parents in a car crash and caused her to be an orphan and suffer at foster families’ identity.
After spending 15 years in jail, when he went out, his guilt was killing him as the lawyer revealed. “He worked hard for the rest of his life, and dedicated each penny to you. As a compensation, which he was aware that no amount of money can bring back your parents or your lonely childhood.”
“First, he sold his house, and with that money started a business. His business became successful and he made millions out of it, only to left it all to you.”
She was going to receive five million dollars. “I don’t think I can take it,” Ellie said, after she thought about it for a few minutes. “You don’t have to decide today,” lawyer said.
As she was about to leave, “No, I can’t,” Ellie said. “If you can, donate it to a charity.”
The lawyer nodded. Few days later, she received the news that the money was equally shared to five different charities about orphaned children.
