My Grandpa Was Fired as a Janitor after Saving Woman’s Life – I Couldn’t Sit Idly by & Took Revenge for Him
When Mr. Williams saved a woman’s life with her inhaler, he never expected it to lead to his wrongful firing and a $2,000 theft accusation. Little did they know, Mike, his grandchild, would uncover the truth, revealing a shocking plot that turned a hero into a suspect overnight.
My grandfather was sweeping the floor when a woman sitting in the lobby began to have trouble breathing. He rushed over to her and asked, “Ma’am, are you okay? How can I help?”

She gasped and pointed weakly to her purse on the floor. “My… inhaler,” she wheezed.
Grandpa quickly picked up the purse, opened it, and found the inhaler. He handed it to her, and she took a few puffs. Her breathing steadied, and she looked at him gratefully.
“Thank you so much,” she said, her voice still shaky. “You saved my life.”
Grandpa smiled kindly. “Just doing what I can to help.”

About ten minutes later, Grandpa was still sweeping when the manager walked up to him, looking angry. “Mr. Williams, I didn’t expect this from you. You are fired! But first, return the woman’s money.”
Grandpa looked confused. “What money? I didn’t steal anything.”
The manager’s face hardened. “But witnesses and evidence say otherwise. Come with me.”
They walked over to the woman Grandpa had helped. She now looked upset and anxious.

“When I was having trouble breathing, this man came over, took my purse, and stole my money!” she cried. “I saw everything, and luckily, my friend managed to record it.” She held up her phone, showing a video of Grandpa rummaging through her bag for the inhaler.
“How much money was stolen?” asked the manager.
“$2,000,” the woman replied firmly. “Mr. Williams, return the money immediately.”

Grandpa’s eyes widened. “But that’s my money. I just received my paycheck today. That’s all I have.”
The manager crossed his arms. “Immediately, or do you want me to call the police?”
Grandpa turned pale. The thought of being arrested at his age was terrifying. With shaking hands, he pulled out his wallet and handed over the money. “Here… here it is,” he said, his voice trembling.

When Grandpa came home that evening, he looked defeated. I was sitting at the kitchen table, doing my homework, when he walked in.
“Grandpa, what happened?” I asked, noticing his pale face.
