No wonder Brisa didn't want to give him anything. He didn't show up for the funeral, but he's here to claim his share of the inheritance.
"Hey there." Rosalynn ignored Paul's outstretched hand and coolly replied with a nod, "Is everyone here? Has the lawyer you hired arrived?"
"Right here!" Paul gestured to a group standing nearby.
"Alright then, let's get this started," Rosalynn said as she took her seat. "Brisa loved to see the family happy and united. My husband was practically raised by Brisa, and to honor the last bit of her wishes, I'm going to play the peacemaker today. Let's all keep calm and settle this without a fuss, in a way that won't have Brisa turning in her grave."
The Davis clan exchanged a mix of looks.
"Before we go over the will, let's clear up what went missing from great-grandma's house," Paul started. "We all have an idea of what she owned, and now it seems that several valuable items have vanished..."d1
"Felix." Rosalynn interrupted before Paul could continue his insinuations.
At her call, Felix wheeled in a large flat-screen TV.
"Now, I'm going to show everyone the charitable donations Brisa Davis made over the past two decades, as well as the legal documents to prove it."
"Donations?"
"When did this happen? How come we didn't know?"
Whispers and murmurs erupted among the Davis clan.
Rosalynn acted as if she heard none of it, idly playing with her daughter's hand.
Soon, the high-definition screen displayed Brisa's earliest donation record, which dated back before Jameson was even born.
The donation was a pair of diamond earrings, originally discarded by Natalie who then passed them on to Brisa.
Feeling they were too fancy for her, and having seen an ad for a charity supporting girls' education, Brisa had generously donated the earrings.
That act had started Brisa on her path of philanthropy.
