At Old Millionaire’s Funeral, Young Widow Gets Scared When She Hears Him Knock from the Coffin — Story of the Day

In San Francisco, millionaire Paul Davis once had it all—a loving wife, daughter, thriving business, and beautiful home. But his life crumbled when a plane crash claimed his family. Overcome with grief, Paul withdrew from the world until his loyal secretary, Mr. Jones, slowly drew him back into work. Paul rebuilt his company and wealth, but he closed his heart to love.

Years later, at 81, Paul met Laura, a 23-year-old intern who resembled his late wife. Though he knew she loved his money, he married her, cherishing the reminder of Linda. His illusion shattered when Mr. Jones revealed Laura was having an affair with Paul’s rival, Kevin—and plotting to poison him for his fortune.

Instead of confronting her directly, Paul crafted a plan. He agreed to Laura’s “date,” knowing she’d bribed a waiter to spike his wine. The wine was swapped, and Paul faked a collapse and “death.” Laura, believing her scheme had succeeded, prepared a lavish funeral while dreaming of her inheritance.

At the service, as Laura tearfully bid farewell, knocking came from inside the coffin. Gasps filled the room as Mr. Jones opened it and Paul rose, alive. In front of stunned guests, Paul exposed Laura’s affair, murder plot, and greed, presenting evidence and the waiter’s testimony. Police arrested Laura on the spot, and Kevin was soon captured too.

Paul announced he had rewritten his will, donating his fortune to orphanages. “I was an orphan once,” he told the crowd, “and I want to give those children the life I never had.”

The lesson was clear—greed destroys, and evil deeds eventually catch up with those who commit them. Laura and Kevin’s betrayal had only led them to prison, while Paul walked away with justice and peace.
