The Secret Code In His Will

Summary

My grandfather left the villa to my older brother in his will, and the only thing he left me was the advice to be a decent person.

“Be a decent person.”

The estate lawyer finished reading the final four words, then looked up.

For two seconds, the living room was dead silent.

Then, my brother smiled.

My sister-in-law smiled, too.

Uncle Paul slapped his thigh, letting out a dry chuckle. “Even at the very end, the old man couldn’t resist giving his granddaughter a little lecture.”

My dad sat on the sofa nearby. He didn’t look at me.

He hadn’t looked at me once since we walked in.
