Old Businessman Pretends to Disinherit His Grandson to Test His Fiancée – Story of the Day
Having lived long enough to know how the world works, an old, wealthy businessman pretended to disinherit his grandson to see whether his fiancée would stand by him.
Arthur Finley was a wealthy businessman. He ran multiple companies that he’d built through sweat and tears. He had set up his first small start-up forty-five years ago, at only 25.
He was now 70, and his hard work was paying off. The business was booming, and he had expanded to over five states. He oversaw the main office in California and had more than 20 workers.

On the other hand, Arthur loved how conversant Jason was with the ways of the current world — the millennial world. They never got bored of each other’s company.
Jason’s secretary had recently handed in her resignation, and a new one had filled the spot. Sara was a long-legged blonde in her mid-20’s. She came from an influential family, and her parents were friends with Jason’s parents. That’s how she’d landed the job at Arthur’s company.
As soon as she started work at the company, she began flirting heavily with Jason and showering him with attention. Jason’s parents started throwing hints at him, asking if he liked Sara.
