When their grandmother Marlene passed away, Brian mocked his sister Linda for inheriting only five old clocks while he got her house. What he didn’t know was that those “worthless” timepieces hid a fortune.
Linda had always cared deeply for Marlene, even taking time off school to stay with her during her final weeks. She spent her savings fixing up the old house to make her grandmother comfortable, while Brian only visited briefly, more interested in what he might inherit.
After Marlene’s funeral, her will left the house to Brian and the clocks to Linda. Brian laughed at the decision, assuming he had come out ahead.
