You should never take anything for granted, could be the moral of this story. Because things can be different from how they appeared to us or from how we imagined them at the beginning. The discovery of this usually causes a very hard blow, difficult to digest.
However, in addition, this story it has other edges. More “deeper”, if it suits. It is that death has discovered the unexpected, or what was believed to be unexpected, but it is in life that explanations are found.
Because it is the death of an Italian woman, also a millionaire, that triggers the reaction fury and helplessness of his 10 grandchildren, who curiously – or not so much, to be honest – seemed more confused than hurt by their aunt’s departure.
However, according to local media, only with know the behavior From those same relatives while the woman was alive, things appear much clearer. They no longer seem so incomprehensible, so unjustifiable.

However, Malfatti had other planssome who were jealously careful not to meet while he was alive.
Already dead, then the bomb arrived. The woman decided to bequeath all of her assets, down to the last cent (about 5.4 million dollars), not to her grandchildren, who were already rubbing their hands with her, but to the woman who had taken care of her in recent years an Albanian citizen.
And that last move of the old woman totally surprised to the 10 grandchildren who were waiting for the inheritance.
Without visiting it for years
