Son Brings Buyers to Home of Lonely Old Mother and Hears Unfamiliar Man Coughing in the Bedroom — Story of the Day
A greedy son decides to force his elderly mother to sell her beloved house, but when he brings in the buyers, they all run away and vow never to return.
Gary Bolton made a decision. He was putting his mother’s pretty, three-floor, five-bedroom Victorian house for sale. The house was worth a pretty penny, he realized, and it was a waste having his mother living in it.
