The Inheritance

When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, Charles decided he needed a woman with whom to enjoy the wealth. So, one evening he went to a singles bar where he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. He approached her and said, “I may look like just an ordinary man, but in a week or two my father will die and I’ll inherit thirty million dollars.”

The woman went home with Charles that evening, and, three days later, she became his stepmother.
