It contained a notification that I was eligible to receive a portion of my late great-aunt\u2019s fortune.\n</p><p>I had barely begun to get comfortable in my business class seat when the hubbub started. An adolescent in the row in front of him then decided to play the game of being as annoying as he could. His laughing was like nails on a chalkboard, and there were chips all over the place.\n</p><div class='\"code-block' code-block-13>\n<p>I tried to ignore it, but then a handful of chips landed squarely on me.

Fortunately, she moved me to a different seat right away. How could somebody act in such a way and believe it was acceptable?\n</p><p>I dismissed the incident when we landed, eager to get back to work. I picked up my bags and made a beeline for the attorney\u2019s office.\n</p><p>I arrived at the office, entered the waiting room, and then stopped. The spoiled teenager and his father were seated on the other side of the room. It seemed almost unbelievable to me.\n</p><h2><strong>They were here for the same inheritance. Of all the people in the world, it had to be them.\n<p>The lawyer, a composed man named Mr. Thompson, entered the room and began to speak.\n</p><div class='\"code-block' code-block-9>\n<div data-cptid='\"1539520_timelesslife.info_300x250_Carpet\"'>\n\n<p>\u201cThank you all for coming. As you know, the late Ms. Harper wished for her estate to be passed down to one of her nieces\u2019 or nephews\u2019 descendants.

With a flick of his thumb, it spun into the air, glinting in the light before landing on the table with a soft clink.\n</p><p>Richard\u2019s face turned an alarming shade of red. \u201cThis is a joke!\u201d he shouted, slamming his fist on the table. \u201cI need that money! I\u2019ve got debts to pay. This isn\u2019t fair!\u201d\n</p><div class='\"code-block' code-block-8><ins class='\"adsbyadop_bb356adc-7649-48c4-8ebb-b7f30f974225\"'>\n<div>\n<p>\n</p><p>\u201cI\u2019m afraid the decision is final,\u201d Mr. Thompson replied calmly.\n</p><p>Richard\u2019s anger morphed into desperation. \u201cYou don\u2019t deserve it,\u201d he spat at me. \u201cYou didn\u2019t even know her! I\u2019ve got real problems\u2014real bills! This was supposed to be mine!\u201d\n</p><p>Heads.\n</p><h2><strong>I stared at the coin, barely breathing. I had won. The estate\u2014and everything that came with it\u2014was mine.\n<div class='\"code-block' code-block-4>\n<p>I stood there, stunned, as his son, Dean, shrank into his seat, his earlier bravado completely gone.\n</p><p>\u201cEnough, Mr. Gray,\u201d Mr. Thompson said sharply. \u201cThe terms of the will are clear. I suggest you accept them with dignity.\u201d\n</p><p>But Richard\u2019s loss lacked any dignity.\n</p><p>I reflected on the events of the day once I was back in my hotel room. I had won the inheritance, indeed. More significantly, though, I had witnessed karma unfold in real time. Despite the fact that I had been m.o.cked, rejected, and treated as inferior by Richard and Dean, they were ultimately the ones who left without anything.\n</p><p>What about me? I left with a reminder that your value as a person is based on your ability to rise above the pettiness of others, not how others treat you.\n</p><div class='\"code-block' code-block-2>\n<div class='\"code-block' code-block-11>\n<h2>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</h2><p>When Samantha, a humble woman, seated on a business-class flight, she never thought she\u2019d be the target of a bratty teen\u2019s antics and his father\u2019s arrogant laughter.
