Rich Lawyer Dresses as Homeless Man and Visits His Firm to Determine Who Inherits His Wealth — Story of the Day
A wealthy lawyer disguises himself as a homeless man and visits his law firm to find his heir – but all he receives is a barrage of abuse and mockery for his shabby attire. Will he find the person who will be his heir if things continue as they are?
