A man in his late 40s or early 50s who was well-dressed went to a high-end place and asked to see a woman named Valerie. Even though he was told she was one of the most expensive possibilities, the man insisted on meeting her and paid $1,000 for the visit. The same thing happened three times in a row, and the man paid the same amount each time.
Valerie was shocked that the man kept asking and asked him about his past. When she talked about her family’s ties to South Carolina, the man revealed a startling twist: he was her sister’s lawyer, and she had been given the job of delivering the man’s $3,000 inheritance.
The narrative makes it clear that there are three things in life that are certain: death, taxes, and getting ripped off by a lawyer. The lawyer’s smart choice to give the inheritance in a funny way made the situation a little more light-hearted.
