Gloria Watson, a 74-year-old woman, lived quietly in a nursing home after being betrayed by her grandson, Todd. Once close, their relationship crumbled when Todd manipulated Gloria into selling her house under false pretenses. Claiming his wife Natasha needed surgery, he took her money and used it for a lavish Hawaiian vacation. Gloria, heartbroken, discovered the truth after overhearing Natasha’s callous conversation. Shortly after, Todd and Natasha forced her into a nursing home under the guise of needing more space to start a family.
Over the following year, Todd visited just once, maintaining distance—until Gloria inherited part of her cousin’s estate. Sensing an opportunity, Todd returned with fake concern, again requesting money for a supposed surgery. Gloria, already terminally ill, saw through the lie but played along, suggesting he mortgage his house with the promise of repayment. Todd eagerly agreed, falling into her quiet trap once more.
