Joe was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sick father died, he decided he needed a wife with whom to share his fortune.
One evening at an investment seminar he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her beauty took his breath away. "I may look like just an ordinary man," he said to her, but in just a few years, my father will pass, and I'll inherit his large fortune."
Impressed, the woman took his business card and three months later, she became Joe's stepmother.
