After a man passed away, the will he left behind pitted his two daughters, Helen and Julia, against each other—one inherited the house they grew up in, while the other received a single dirty dish.

John was a proud father of two daughters. Helen, the elder, was the apple of his eye, but his youngest, Julia, bore a striking resemblance to his late wife. This resemblance made John favor her more, even though he loved both girls.

When Julia was born, Helen was already a teenager. John and his wife had nearly given up hope of having another child, and Julia’s arrival felt like a miracle. This miracle status made them shower Julia with extra love and attention, leaving Helen feeling neglected and sidelined.
