When Julia and Helga’s father passed away, Helga furiously fought their mother, Mrs. Hanson, over the inheritance. She made hurtful citation, but Julia and Mrs. Hanson prepared a clever plan to teach her a lesson about respect and greed.
“HOW DARE YOU?” Helga shouted at her mother over the phone, her voice echoing through the house. Even though her mother was using the living room phone without speaker, Julia could hear her from the kitchen. Helga was furious at her mother’s decision to leave 30% of the estate to her, while Julia would receive the remaining 70%.
To begin with, Mrs. Hanson had considered leaving Helga nothing because of her disrespect. But she lessened when Helga and her husband welcomed twins later in life, and she decided to allocate something for their future. Helga, however, wasn’t satisfied and felt entitled to more.
“MOTHER! You can’t just give everything to Julia!
“I DON’T CARE WHAT JULIA HAS DONE! YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU TO DI:E SO I CAN SUE FOR MY SHARE!” she said.
Months passed, and Helga continued to call, pressuring Mrs. Hanson to change her will, which took a toll on her health. Finally, Mrs. Hanson passed away, and Helga put on an extravagant display of grief at the funeral.
During a phone call, she told Helga, “I’m selling Mom’s house to move to New York. I’ll give you half the proceeds, even though it’s in my name. Is that fair?”
Helga skip-ed the offer. “Thank you, Julia! I knew you’d come around. This is for the twins’ future!”
The deal happened quickly, as the house was in a desirable area. Julia promised to deposit her “share” into a safety deposit box and share the details later. A week after Julia left, she sent Helga the information.
At the bank, Helga eagerly opened the deposit box—only to find three $1 bills and a note that read, “That’s all you deserve.” Her furious screams filled the bank. Julia had blocked her, ending their relationship for good.
