The lawyer finished reading. "The manufacturing company goes to you, Mr. Harrison." James, whose hands had been clenched in fists, slowly unclenched them. His sister, Clara, slumped in her chair.

He felt the weight on his chest disappear, and a new energy surge through him. The factory, the legacy his grandfather built, was his. Clara, with her head for design, had wanted the family's art supply business.

James felt the tension drain away. He wanted to leap to his feet and start working. His future was clear, bright, and his.
