“HOW DARE YOU?”
Helga’s voice roared through the phone, loud enough for Julia to hear from the kitchen.
Her mother, Mrs. Hanson, sat stiffly in the living room, gripping the receiver. She had just finished explaining how she had divided her will—and Helga was furious.
Helga, the daughter who only called when she needed something. Helga, who never visited, never helped, never cared.
She was getting 30% of the inheritance.
Julia, who had spent years taking care of their ailing father and mother, was getting the rest.
It was only fair.
But to Helga? It was a crime.
“MOTHER! You can’t just give everything to Julia! She doesn’t even have children! Don’t you care about my twins? They deserve their share of the money!”
Mrs. Hanson sighed, rubbing her temples.
