The Will That Said Everything… and Nothing

When the lawyer read the will, there were no surprises.

Just as Lina had predicted.

The house, the savings, the jewelry—everything had been left to her.

Every single thing.

All I received was a small envelope and a modest potted jade plant.

As Lina passed by me afterward, she gave a faint smirk and leaned close enough to whisper:

“She only kept you around because it was convenient.”

Then she added coldly,
“Maybe this will teach you something.”

I said nothing.

Instead, I picked up the small plant and walked out.
