Lesley, George, and Wilson Farrel lost their parents in a car accident when they were still young.

Their grandparents stepped in to raise them—George was eleven, Wilson nine, and Lesley only five at the time.

The grandparents carefully used the parents’ life insurance to ensure the older boys received a good education. However, by the time Lesley was ready for college, her grandmother had fallen seriously ill.

Lesley couldn’t bear to abandon her grandparents during such a difficult time, so she chose to stay close by, enrolling at the local community college and attending classes when she could manage.

Sadly, her grandmother passed away not long after, and neither George nor Wilson attended the funeral. They sent flowers and apologies but made no effort to support the man who had raised them.

Lesley took on the responsibility of caring for her ailing grandfather. Two years later, when she met William and decided to marry him, she moved into a modest home just down the street.

As time passed, her grandfather’s health deteriorated further.

One morning, Lesley went to bring him breakfast and discovered he had peacefully passed away in his sleep. She was heartbroken.She contacted her brothers and other relatives to arrange the funeral, assuming George and Wilson wouldn’t show up. To her surprise, they did.

That afternoon, Lesley realized why: they were interested in their inheritance. Their grandfather’s lawyer had called them to the old family home for a reading of the will.

George admired the property. “This place could fetch a good price,” he remarked.

However, the lawyer informed them that their grandfather had donated the house and everything in it to the Children’s Association, which would be used as a shelter for at-risk youth.

He continued, saying that their grandfather had left each of them a small keepsake. On the table, he placed a silver pocket watch, a silver chain with an antique cross, and an old, dark green umbrella.
