Rich Man Cuts off 7 Children from Will, Old Homeless Lady Inherits His Entire Property — Story of the Day
Today’s story is about a rich man who removes all seven of his children from his will and gives his inheritance to a homeless woman who saved his life.
“How can you treat us like this, Dad? How can you not leave us even a tenth of the property?” Mr. Archibald’s eldest son, Harry, was enraged when Mr. Archibald declared his intentions for his will following Mrs. Archibald’s funeral.

He was orphaned at the age of five and had no one to look after him, so he had to learn to be a responsible man at a young age. For almost all his teenage life, he worked part-time in restaurants, shops, and anywhere and everywhere he could get food and money.
When he turned 21, he decided to try his hand at starting his own business. Because he didn’t understand how things worked, he failed several times, and nothing came of it.
