I Wanted to Share My Inheritance with My Aunt until I Discovered Her True Colors

After my parents died when I was ten, my grandmother raised me with love, despite my Aunt Sharon’s resentment. Sharon called me “the charity case” and made it clear I was a burden. When Grandma passed last fall, her will left me everything—her house, savings, jewelry, and $500,000—while Sharon got only an old trailer.
Stunned but guilty, I decided to share the inheritance. I had a lawyer draft a document giving Sharon $100,000 and monthly support, planning to present it on her birthday with cake and flowers. But when I handed her the envelope, Sharon’s face twisted with fury. She mocked my gesture, tore up the papers, and vowed to contest the will, claiming she deserved everything.
Heartbroken, I realized she saw me only as competition, not family. I left, tearing up the agreement on her porch. Using part of the inheritance, I created a scholarship fund in Grandma’s name for kids who’ve lost their parents, honoring her love.
Sharon did contest the will—and lost. Grandma’s letter to the attorney revealed Sharon’s theft, cruelty, and threats. Grandma ensured justice. I miss her daily, but her wisdom guides me to do what’s right. Sharon remains alone in her trailer, just as she chose.
