My Sister Secretly Sold My Late Grandmother’s House And Smugly Told Me, “You’ll -Reddit Stories

my sister secretly sold my late grandmother's house and smugly told me you'll never see a dime of that money I was heartbroken until the new owner called me and said you might want to come over I found something in the Attic that changes everything when my sister saw it she collapsed in shock I swear I have never hated my sister more than I did in that moment we were standing in my grandmother's old living room the one with the creaky wooden floors and the walls still covered in That Hideous green wallpaper she had refused to

replace for 50 years the the house smelled the same like old books and lavender it had always been my safe place growing up but now now it wasn't ours anymore I sold it my sister CLA said arms crossed chin raised like she was daring me to react I stared at her not fully understanding what do you mean you sold it she sighed dramatically like I was too stupid to keep up the house grandma's house it's gone new owners move in next week I felt like the flooor had been ripped out from under me you can't

do that we agreed we'd figure this out together she smirked that same smug look she always had when she knew she was about to twist the knife no you assumed we'd do this together but grandma left me as the executor of the will and I decided to sell and by the way she leaned in voice dripping with fake sympathy you're not getting a single scent I swear to God I could have hit her this wasn't just some property sale to me this house it was our history our childhoods it was where we spent Summers making

cookies in the twoo small kitchen while grandma told us stories about the old days it was where I stayed when I had nowhere else to go after my divorce it was the one place in the world that had ever felt safe and she sold it without even telling me I clenched my fists trying to keep my voice steady why would you do this Clare Shrugged it was an old dump and I could use the money simple as that I couldn't believe it you could use the money she rolled her eyes oh don't act so shocked

you know Grandma always loved me more she wanted me to have a better life besides she smiled and I swear I wanted to wipe that smug look off her face you'll never see a dime of that money I walked out if I stayed another second I was going to say something I couldn't take back for the next few weeks I tried to move on I told myself it was just a house walls and a roof that was it but no matter how much I tried I couldn't shake the Betrayal I barely spoke to CLA not

that she cared she was too busy spending her money posting pictures of shopping spree and vacations like she hadn't just ripped our family apart then one night my phone rang it was a number I didn't recognize I almost didn't answer but something told me to pick up hello uh hi is this my name yeah who's this my name's Mark I just bought your grandmother's house I felt a lump in my throat oh listen I know this is kind of weird but I found something in the attic and I think you might want to come over

I frowned what is it there was a pause then Mark said something that sent a chill down my spine I think it changes everything I didn't even hesitate I was in my car within minutes I barely remember the drive over my hands were gripping the wheel so tight my Knuckles turned white my heart pounded the whole way there when I pulled up in front of Grandma's house it didn't feel like home anymore the porch light was on but the windows were dark empty Mark tall mid-40s wearing an old baseball cap was waiting for me by

the front door he gave me a nod then gestured for me to follow him inside I wasn't sure if I should call you he said as we walked down the hallway but once I found it I figured you'd want to see found what I asked he didn't answer instead he led me up the narrow staircase to the attic the pull down ladder creaked under our weight as we climbed the attic smelled like dust and Thyme filled with old furniture boxes stacked to the ceiling Mark walked over to the far corner where an old trunk sat

half covered by a moth eaten blanket the lid was already open inside wrapped in layers of yellowed cloth was an envelope it was thick heavy Mark handed it to me go ahead I took a deep breath and tore it open inside was a stack of papers and the moment I started reading my blood ran cold it was another will a different will dated 2 years later than the one my sister had used to sell the house and this one this one left everything to me my hands were shaking this can't be real I whispered Mark

crossed his arms I thought the same thing but I had a buddy of mine look at it he's a lawyer he says it looks official my mind was racing how how had this been hidden up here and then it hit me Claire she had been the one to go through Grandma's paperwork after she passed she had been the one handling all the legal stuff she must have found this will and hidden it she knew she knew Grandma had changed her mind and left everything to me and instead of telling me she buried it lied sold

the house out from under me I felt sick Mark must have seen the look on my face because he cleared his throat look I don't know the whole story but if this will is real then what she did that's fraud I swallowed hard yeah I said my voice barely above a whisper it is I didn't sleep that night I spent hours reading through through the will taking pictures sending them to a lawyer friend of mine he called me at 6:00 a.m. this is real he said this is very real and if your sister knew about

it and still sold the house she's in deep trouble I barely heard the rest of what he said my hands were already dialing cla's number she answered on the fourth ring groggy and annoyed what do you want you knew I said my voice was calm too calm she was quiet for a second then she scoffed knew what Grandma's real will silence then a nervous laugh I have no idea what you're talking about you lied to me I said my voice shaking with anger you found the real will didn't you and instead of telling me you

hid it you sold the house and took all the money knowing it wasn't yours to take more silence then she said something that made my blood boil prove it I hung up because I was about to do exactly that I didn't bother arguing with CLA I didn't need to instead I went straight to a lawyer the moment he saw the will his eyes widened this changes everything he said if your sister knew about this she committed fraud and that house it wasn't hers to sell it was yours he wasted no time filing the case a

lawsuit against cla a motion to reverse the sale of the house a demand for every penny she had stolen I knew CLA wouldn't take it well but even I wasn't prepared for what happened next the moment Claire got served with legal papers she lost it she called me screaming you have no right I laughed no right you stole from me you lied and now you're going to pay for it she hung up days passed then week and then then the real bombshell dropped my lawyer dug deeper and what he found CLA hadn't just hidden one

will she had done something worse she had forged the will she used the signature fake the witnesses fake everything she had used to sell the house a complete lie and now now she wasn't just facing a lawsuit she was facing prison I'll never forget the moment CLA realized it was over we were in the lawyer's office she sat across from me pale shaking gripping the arms of her chair so tight her nails dug into the wood my lawyer laid out the evidence the real will the forgery the proof of fraud then he leaned forward and

said very calmly you have two choices return everything or go to jail Clare looked at me her mouth opening and closing like she wanted to argue then she saw my face and she knew she had lost her body slumped her hands trembled and then she collapsed right there in the chair because For the first time in her life she realized she wasn't going to get away with it CLA returned the money she had to she had no choice the house the courts reversed the sale Mark the buyer was actually happy about it he didn't want

to be part of a fraud case and me I got my grandmother's house back Claire she lost everything her reputation her money her freedom because in the end Karma always collects its debts and I made sure she paid in full I thought it was over I thought CLA had learned her lesson that she had finally face the consequences of what she did I was wrong because 3 months later I got a call from my lawyer and what he told me it changed everything hey my lawyer said his voice tense we have a problem I sat

up straight what now he sighed cla's not done screwing you over I clenched my jaw what the hell does that mean he hesitated then said we looked into her finances and it turns out she moved all the money before the court order came down my stomach dropped what she transferred everything to an offshore account then she claimed she was broke I felt like I was going to explode she had returned some of the money but only enough to make it look like she was cooperating the rest she hid it and just like that CLA had

pulled one last scam I wasn't about to let her get away with it not this time I met with my lawyer the next day and we came up with a plan CLA was arrogant she thought she was smarter than everyone else so if I wanted to catch her I had to play dumb I called her hey I said forcing my voice to sound defeated can we meet she laughed actually laughed oh feeling generous now too bad you took your money we're done I gritted my teeth please let's just talk there was a pause then she

sighed dramatically fine but don't wait my time she had no idea I was about to waste hers we met at a small Cafe downtown Claire walked in wearing designer sunglasses and carrying a new purse bought with stolen money she sat down across from me smirking so what do you want I played my part I just I don't want to fight anymore this whole Court thing has been exhausting she sipped her coffee looking pleased with herself well that's what happen when you drag family into legal battles I nearly choked on my drink she was acting like

the victim I swallowed my anger and forced a smile look I just wanted to know how did you do it she raised an eyebrow do what I leaned in come on I know you still have the money you were always the smart one I just want to understand how you pulled it off she studied me probably trying to decide if I was being serious then she laughed and then she told me everything she bragged about how she had transferred the money before the courts could freeze her accounts how she used a friend's name for the

offshore transfer how she kept just enough in her main account to make it look like she was complying she laid it all out thinking she was safe thinking I was just too dumb to fight back what she didn't know I was recording the whole thing I sent the recording straight to my lawyer and within 2 weeks CLA was in handcuffs fraud money laundering contempt of court she didn't just lose the money she lost her Freedom she had scammed one person too many and this time there was no escape the court seized everything she owned her

house gone her car repossessed her hidden money tracked and confiscated she cried in court begged for leniency the judge did didn't give a damn you showed no remorse he said you stole from your own family you lied and now you'll pay the price Clare was sentenced to 5 years in prison and me I walked out of that courtroom feeling lighter than I had in years because finally CLA had nothing left to steal and I had everything I needed Justice Claire was in jail that should have been enough for me but after everything she put me

through I wanted to make sure she never had a way to crawl back see CLA always had a way of landing on her feet she could talk her way out of anything charm people into believing she was the victim even in prison I knew she'd find some poor soul to manipulate but this time I was going to make damn sure she stayed down CLA had one last safety net her friend Amanda Amanda was the one who helped Clare hide the stolen money she was the one whose name was on the offshore accounts the one CLA

trusted to move the funds around while she dodged the courts I knew if Amanda wasn't dealt with Clare would still have money waiting for her when she got out so I did what CLA would never see coming I took Amanda down too I tipped off the police about Amanda's involvement gave them everything bank records transaction receipts even messages between CLA and Amanda plotting their little scheme it wasn't long before Amanda was arrested and the moment she was faced with charges she folded like a cheap deck of cards she ratted CLA out even more more than

I expected told the police about cla's other scams phony loans unpaid debts even a fake investment scheme she ran years ago turns out CLA had a lot more skeletons in her closet than I thought her 5-year sentence doubled CLA would not be getting out anytime soon part 15 the final nail in the coffin with CLA and Amanda both rotting behind bars I made sure she had nothing left she had no money the court seized it all she had no allies Amanda turned on her and every friend she once had disappeared the moment she stopped being

useful she had no home her apartment was gone even if she got out early she had nowhere to go and the best part she had to watch me win because while she was trapped in prison I was thriving part 16 the sweetest Revenge I restored Grandma's house every broken thing Claire neglected I fixed every memory she tried to erase I preserved the house that she stole from me now it was mine legally permanently forever and Claire she had nothing she wrote me a letter once from prison begging saying she had changed that she was sorry

I didn't even open it I sent it back because Claire she wasn't worth my time anymore she got exactly what she deserved and for the first time in my life I finally had peace the end
