Angelina’s father, Chris Harvey, called her from the hospital after a heart episode, asking if she could come help him in Austin, Texas. Unfortunately, Angelina couldn’t visit as she had no more paid time off at work, so she urged her son Peter to go instead. After some convincing, Peter agreed to travel with his wife, Hannah, under the pretense of helping Chris recover. What Angelina didn’t know was that Peter had ulterior motives, thinking he would soon inherit his grandfather’s house and could make it his own.

When Chris returned from the hospital, he was shocked to find his house nearly empty, with furniture scattered outside and plastic sheets covering parts of the interior. Peter explained they were remodeling the house as a surprise, assuring Chris that his belongings were safely in storage. Chris was touched by what he believed was a thoughtful gesture, but his perception soon changed when he overheard Peter and Hannah arguing. They revealed their real intention: they believed Chris would soon die, leaving them the house.

Determined to teach them a lesson, Chris played along and told the couple he planned to move into a nursing home and give them the house. Excited, Peter and Hannah poured time and money into finishing the remodel. When the work was done, they even hosted a housewarming party with friends, thinking the house was already theirs. During the event, Chris stood up to give a toast, revealing he knew their true intentions. He declared he would keep the house for himself and later donate it to charity, leaving Peter and Hannah humiliated in front of their friends.

Peter tried to reason with Chris, but the older man wouldn’t hear it, throwing everyone out of his house. The next day, Chris informed Angelina about what her son had done. She was heartbroken by Peter’s actions but accepted that Chris had the right to do as he pleased with his property. Chris warned her to be cautious, as he had seen just how selfish and deceitful Peter and Hannah could be.

Despite everything, Chris lived another 11 years, enjoying the house that had been his home for decades. As per his final wishes, his lawyer sold the house and donated all proceeds to a charity supporting senior citizens, ensuring his legacy would help others in need.
