An old lady discovered her daughter-in-law was not who she thought she was after hearing her phone’s ringtone. This prompts her to disinherit her and take her out of her will.
Catherine was a rich woman who once owned a large business with her late husband. She lived in a big luxury mansion valued at two million dollars and had passed on the business to her son, James.
James was married to a young woman named Stacy, and together they shared a daughter named Andie. Catherine had only met Stacy a couple of times ever since, as she rarely visited the mansion and never made an effort to keep in touch.
As James and Stacy rarely visited Catherine, she enjoyed the company of an adorable dog named Pepper. He would always follow her around wherever she went. She loved her dog dearly and treated him as part of the family.
One day, James tragically died in an accident. Both Catherine and Stacy were devastated, bawling their eyes out in his funeral as they mourned his sudden passing.
At night, Catherine would find herself crying, only to be comforted by Pepper, who would snuggle up next to her in bed. “Oh, how I miss my son, Pepper,” she would say, before crying herself back to sleep.
Catherine felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, especially because James had also left behind Andie, their one-year-old daughter. To help them get by, Catherine decided to transfer James’ business to Stacy’s name.
Suddenly, she noticed that Stacy started to visit her more. “I don’t know what to do now that James isn’t here, mom,” Stacy would tell her crying.
Little did Catherine know, Stacy was delighted to find out that she now owned a multi-million-dollar business. “I’m rich!” she said to herself while home alone with Andie one day.
Since then, she started to hang out with her mother-in-law some more, keeping her company and showering her with random gifts. She became more affectionate, always calling Catherine, “mom,” and giving her hugs and kisses.
Catherine had always enjoyed being around other people, so she was delighted when Stacy and Andie started to visit her more. Although she missed her late husband and son, she was content knowing she had Stacy and Andie by her side for the rest of her life.
One day, Stacy requested that Catherine throw Andie a large birthday bash in the mansion as she turned two. Catherine was more than happy to oblige, splurging on the food, decor, and gifts for her darling granddaughter.
During that time, an old classmate of Catherine revealed that her 74-year-old best friend, Ruth, was in the hospital, battling an illness. In the past, she would usually head straight to Ruth every time the woman had a problem. This time, however, she told her classmate that she was busy.
“I’m sorry, dear. I won’t be able to visit Ruth at the hospital. I’m planning something very important for my granddaughter, so I’ve been quite busy,” she told her friend on the phone.
When the day for Andie’s birthday party finally came, Catherine was delighted to see all the guests having fun. Most of them were Stacy’s friends and their children, but Catherine didn’t mind – all she needed to see was her daughter-in-law and granddaughter having fun.
