Anticipating an obituary that never arrived, Bill speculated whether Isabella deliberately kept the news from him. He imagined Isabella stumbling upon Monica’s will and reacting with anger, or so he convinced himself. A self-satisfied grin adorned Bill’s face as he contemplated Isabella’s hypothetical realization that she wouldn’t inherit a penny. The tangled web of familial relationships, financial expectations, and withheld information added layers of complexity to the unfolding drama, hinting at the intricate dynamics that would shape the aftermath of Monica’s passing and its impact on those left behind.
