Mariana, grieving the loss of her husband George, was devastated when her stepdaughter Susan demanded his assets just months after his death. Susan, who had distanced herself during George’s illness, now barged into Mariana’s home with a stack of papers, demanding to claim what she believed was rightfully hers.
Susan’s demands and harsh words left Mariana heartbroken, but when she consulted a lawyer, she learned George had left everything to her, ensuring she would be cared for after his passing. Mariana gave Susan exactly what she wanted—only $3,000 and an old car—while keeping everything else for herself. In the aftermath, Mariana sold the assets, moved to a villa, and embraced a new life. Despite Susan’s threats of litigation, Mariana found peace and continued to live her life, free from the toxic relationship.
