Woman Finds Old Card in Late Granddad’s House, Realizes It Can Help Her Get Inheritance Back – Story of the Day
Bridget inherited her grandfather’s business and was excited to run it until a man appeared, claiming to have proof that he had come up with the original idea for the company. Bridget had to find evidence that it wasn’t true, but it all depended on an old greeting card…
“Bridget, I’m telling you. Salazar has a legitimate claim to the business. It’s going to get dicey,” Mr. Samberg urged Bridget to listen, but she was skeptical.
“Please, Isaac. A photo of an old greeting card? That could take away my grandfather’s company?” she scoffed, shaking her head and leaning back on her office chair.
“At the very least, Bridget, this will cause a scandal, and the stocks will drop. This is not how you want to start your time as the leader of this company,” he continued seriously. “This man wants to sue for part of the business, and of course, he wants compensation, too.”

“But there’s something weird about this photo. I mean… I vaguely recall something about my grandfather writing the idea on a greeting card, but I wouldn’t even know where to start finding it. Grandpa had many homes, and who knows if he kept it at all,” Bridget said. “Also, the photo that man sent you seems off, somehow. Like Photoshopped or something.”
“Bridget, the solution is to try to find this greeting card, no matter how hard you have to look for it. It’s solid proof of everything. I will do what I can, and I doubt he’ll win, but we don’t want anything to stain your leadership,” Mr. Samberg added. “That’s why he’s doing this. Probably a jealous, old coworker who hated that your grandfather got successful. But maybe, he was afraid of trying this antic until Mr. Laurier died. Please, find it.”
Bridget still thought the idea was absolutely insane. Her grandfather passed away, and she immediately inherited his shares, becoming CEO. However, as soon as her appointment was announced, a man appeared out of the blue with this “proof” that he had come up with the business himself.
However, that proof was only a picture of an old greeting card. He said he had the original card hidden, but something in Bridget’s gut told her he was lying. Otherwise, he would’ve sued years ago. The business had been making millions for a long time.

Bridget knew that her lawyers would try to squash everything, but this man could ruin her public image, and it was a PR nightmare, which, like it or not, would affect their stock prices. She needed to get to the bottom of it, so she called her mother and grandmother, who gathered all the staff they could to start the search immediately.
They had maids, butlers, and even staff at the office going through boxes and boxes of old paperwork and letters. Bridget also joined the search because they had to look through years of memories in her late grandfather’s three homes.
“Ms. Laurier, could this help?” a maid approached...
