Greedy Heirs Tried to Earn Favor with Grandpa to Inherit More — Their Jaws Dropped When the Lawyer Read the Will….

Even the grandchildren saw him as a means to an end, visiting only during holidays, treating him like an ATM. Mr. Lewis loved them all, but the painful truth was hard to ignore—they were only after his money.

When his doctor told him he had about a month left to live, Mr. Lewis took the news with quiet acceptance. That evening, he called his children and grandchildren to let them know.

Within hours, his mansion was filled with family members from all over, eager to show their sudden devotion. Richard arrived with his wife and three children, trying to play the role of the attentive son. Olivia showed up with her daughters, wearing a strained smile. Even his adopted children, who had been scattered across the globe, dropped everything to be there.

“Don’t worry, Dad, we’re here now,” Richard said, giving his father a half-hearted pat on the shoulder.

“We’ve got you, Grandpa,” one of the grandchildren, Willow, chimed in, barely looking up from her phone.

For weeks, they hovered around him, offering hollow words of concern. “Can I get you anything, Dad?” Olivia asked one afternoon, handing him a cup of tea she hadn’t bothered to make herself. Meanwhile, Richard’s youngest son, Derek, spent more time admiring the mansion’s artwork than paying attention to his grandfather.

Mr. Lewis watched all of this with a heavy heart, fully aware of their intentions. They weren’t there out of love—they were there for the inheritance. They tripped over themselves trying to secure their share before he passed. But Mr. Lewis was no fool.
