A handwritten letter
Olivia quickly scanned the letter, her eyes scanning the neat handwriting that she recognized as her grandfather’s. The letter was full of advice and accusations, but at the end, there was a surprising twist.
“My dear Olivia,” the letter read. “I know that you are a smart and capable young woman, but I also know that you have always taken the easy way out when it comes to achieving your goals. It makes me sad that you didn’t want to see me anymore and that you neglected yourself in that dirty little apartment of yours. You only came to see me when you needed my money and that is why I have decided to make things a little harder for you. In order to inherit my fortune, you must complete a series of tasks that I have carefully selected. These tasks are meant to test your character, your determination, and your willingness to work hard for what you want. I have no doubt that you will rise to the challenge, and I know for sure that you will become a better person after this. Good luck, my dear granddaughter. I love you.”
