Homeless Lady Finds $1 Million in Trash Bin, Returns It to Ungrateful Owner Who Kicks Her Out — Story of the Day
An arrogant businessman, Mr. Carter, rudely dismissed Edith, a homeless woman, after she returned his misplaced $1 million. Several years later, karma caught up with him.
Edith, once a pastry chef, fell into homelessness after losing her family and home in a tragic fire. Despite her hardships, she found solace in working at an animal shelter. One day, she stumbled upon Mr. Carter’s lost money near the shelter bins and returned it to her boss.
Mr. Carter’s callous response to Edith’s honesty, coupled with his disdainful treatment of her, left a bitter taste in her mouth. However, Edith’s integrity didn’t go unnoticed. Her boss, impressed by her character, offered her a full-time job and eventually encouraged her to start her own pastry business.
With determination and support from her boss and the shelter community, Edith embarked on a new journey. She found success in her pastry business, turning her passion into a thriving venture. Meanwhile, Mr. Carter’s arrogance led to his downfall as karma caught up with him, while Edith found fulfillment and happiness in her newfound path.
After careful consideration, Edith made the bold decision to launch her own business. To her amazement, it flourished rapidly, transforming her financial circumstances within just two years. In no time, she expanded her enterprise to include three outlets across town, earning widespread renown.
One fateful day, Edith landed a substantial contract to cater desserts for a businessman’s event. However, upon arriving at the venue, she discovered it was none other than Mr. Carter’s residence. Halting her employees at the doorstep, Edith confronted Mr. Carter directly.
“Mr. Carter, I trust you recall our previous encounter regarding the lost $1 million,” Edith began.
Mr. Carter was taken aback. “You? What brings you here?”
With a serene smile, Edith explained, “Your party tonight is supplied by my shop. However, I’ve instructed my team to return all the desserts we prepared. They will not be served at your event.”
Mr. Carter’s anger flared. “How dare you cancel at the last minute? I have esteemed investors in attendance. What impression will this leave?”
Unfazed, Edith handed him a $100 note. “Consider this both a token of my disdain for your arrogance and a contribution toward salvaging your party. As for the desserts, I’ve decided to donate them to the homeless, rather than serve them at the gathering of a man of your character.”
As Mr. Carter stood humiliated amidst his guests’ sympathetic glances, Edith’s actions spoke volumes, leaving an indelible mark on the arrogant businessman.
