Peter was raised in luxury, being the only son of a wealthy hotel owner.
Unfortunately, his privileged upbringing turned him into an arrogant young man who believed himself superior to others.
One afternoon, Peter entered his father’s grand hotel and was welcomed by Jenny, a new employee. She politely asked if he’d like a welcome drink.
“Don’t you know who I am?” Peter scoffed. “I only drink a special blend prepared just for me.”
Unaware of his preferences — since she had only been working at the hotel for a week — Jenny apologized and went to the kitchen to prepare his drink.
Peter then approached his father’s assistant, Marcus. True to his nature, Peter mocked him.
“Why the long face, Marcus? How do you expect to work in hospitality when you can’t even manage a smile?”
Marcus responded respectfully, apologizing for appearing tired.
“Soon I’ll be running this place,” Peter boasted. “When that happens, there won’t be room for excuses.”
Without waiting for a reply, Peter walked into his father’s office.
There, Mr. Greenwood advised his son to treat everyone with respect, reminding him that every person in the hotel, no matter their role, contributed to its success. But Peter brushed off the advice and asked his father to consider retiring and letting him take over the business.
Seeing Peter’s impatience and arrogance, Mr. Greenwood proposed a challenge instead: five businessmen from different countries would be visiting the hotel, and Peter’s task was to ensure their stay was flawless.
Feeling confident, Peter settled into his father’s office chair, bragging to a friend on the phone about being in charge for the day. However, his call was interrupted by the sound of someone singing loudly outside.
Looking out the window, Peter saw a homeless man singing on the sidewalk near the hotel entrance. Furious that such a scene might tarnish the hotel’s image, he rushed out to confront the man.
“What do you think you’re doing here, singing in front of my hotel?” Peter snapped. “Soon, important guests will be arriving, and I don’t want them seeing you here. Leave immediately!”
At that moment, Marcus stepped in, offering the homeless man $500 to find food and shelter for the night, hoping to de-escalate the situation.
The man accepted the money gratefully and left, while Marcus reminded Peter that their first guest was about to arrive.
The businessmen arrived and were soon enjoying their stay. Their praise for the hotel’s food and service gave Peter a sense of accomplishment. But his relief was short-lived.
Later that evening, the same homeless man returned, this time wanting to use the $500 to rent a room for the night. Peter reluctantly agreed but instructed staff to place him in a room far from the guests.
Yet, Peter remained determined to drive the man away. When Mr. Roberts, one of the businessmen, reported that his valuable family heirloom watch was missing from the restroom, Peter saw an opportunity.
He sneakily planted the watch in the homeless man’s room, then informed the police that he had seen the man acting suspiciously.
The police searched the room, found the watch, and questioned the homeless man. Calmly, the man denied any involvement, expressing surprise at the situation but agreeing to cooperate with the authorities.
The next morning, Peter was feeling triumphant — until his father entered the room with news that would shake him.
Expecting praise, Peter was instead told to check his bank account. To his shock, his multi-million-dollar account balance had dwindled to a single dollar.
His father revealed the truth — the homeless man Peter had insulted and framed was Mr. Greenwood himself, disguised to test Peter’s character.
“You may have handled the guests well,” Mr. Greenwood said sternly, “but you failed to uphold the values that matter most: respect, integrity, and compassion.”
As Peter left the hotel, burdened by the weight of his actions, he realized that true leadership wasn’t about wealth or status — it was about character, humility, and treating everyone with dignity.
Nurse Hands New Mom the Wrong Baby – Her Reaction Will Leave You Speechless
The nurse checked Lucy’s twins before sending them home, but Lucy was shocked when the nurse brought them back. Instead of a boy and a girl, as Lucy had given birth to, the nurse brought two baby girls.
Lucy and her husband, Ross, had tried for a long time to have children, and they were thrilled when they found out they were expecting twins.
An ultrasound had shown they were having one boy and one girl, so the couple was eagerly waiting for their arrival. But when the nurse returned with two girls after the examination, Lucy’s face went pale.
Source: Pexels“Where is my son? What have you done with him? And who is this other baby girl?” Lucy demanded, looking straight at the nurse who had just brought the babies back.
“They’re both your daughters,” said the nurse, Savannah, her eyes glued to the paperwork. “I checked everything twice, and there’s no mistake.”
“Are you serious?” Lucy snapped. “I have reports showing I was supposed to deliver a boy and a girl. And after the delivery, I was told the same. There’s no way they’re both girls!”
Lucy saw the fear in the nurse’s eyes as she looked up from her papers. She was about to confront her further when Dr. Linda Carter walked in. “Could you please keep your voice down, ma’am? This is a hospital,” she said calmly.
“Keep my voice down? Your nurse brings me the wrong child and tells me she’s sure of it! Is this how your hospital runs? Should I contact the head doctor about this?” Lucy shot back.
“I agree with my wife,” Ross, Lucy’s husband, added. “We don’t want to make a scene, but if our son isn’t returned to us, we’ll call the police!”
“Please, sir, calm down,” Dr. Carter responded. “I’m sure this is just a misunderstanding. Savannah has been with us for years. Maybe she grabbed the wrong paperwork. Savannah, may I see the documents?” Dr. Carter asked. Savannah hesitated and then stammered, “No need, ma’am…I mean, I checked them. They’re correct.”
Dr. Carter sensed something odd and said gently, “It’s okay. Just let me take a quick look.” But when she reviewed the papers, she realized Lucy was right.
“Please give me a moment,” Dr. Carter said. “It seems Savannah brought the wrong reports. Another patient named Lucy Matthews also delivered twins, and it seems Savannah got confused.”
“I’m glad you finally saw the mistake,” Lucy said coldly. “Perhaps next time, your hospital could hire more careful staff.”
“I’m truly sorry, ma’am,” Dr. Carter said, turning to Savannah. “Come with me, Savannah. We need to get the correct records.”
Lucy noticed the tears in Savannah’s eyes as she followed Dr. Carter. Something seemed strange, so she decided to follow them quietly.
She watched as they entered Dr. Carter’s office, where Savannah started to cry. The door was slightly open, so Lucy listened in.
“What were you thinking, Savannah?” Dr. Carter said firmly. “Lucy Matthews delivered twins: a boy and a girl at 10:30 a.m. today. The reports confirm it. Why aren’t you telling the truth?”
“I didn’t have a choice,” Savannah sobbed. “The other baby girl belongs to my sister. Her husband abandoned her when he learned of her pregnancy, and sadly, she passed away after giving birth. I wanted to adopt her, but my husband refused.”
“Why don’t you place her in a foster home?” Dr. Carter suggested. “She’d be taken care of there.”
“I can’t,” Savannah replied, still crying. “My sister’s last wish was for her daughter to grow up in a loving family. When I saw Mr. and Mrs. Matthews today, I thought they’d be a wonderful family for her. So I swapped Mrs. Matthews’ son with my sister’s daughter and took him to the nursery.”
“But that’s not right, Savannah,” Dr. Carter said gently. “You need to return their son now. We’ll keep this confidential. I’ll help you find a solution.”
Hearing this, Lucy felt a mix of emotions. Savannah had no ill intentions; she simply wanted her niece to be part of a loving family. Lucy quietly returned to her room.
A few minutes later, Dr. Carter brought Lucy’s son back and apologized. Having overheard the situation, Lucy chose not to complain. But that night, she couldn’t stop thinking about the other baby girl and her innocent face.
The next morning, Lucy confessed her feelings to Ross. “I can’t stop thinking about her,” she said. “I dreamt about her last night. She was in our home, living happily with us. It doesn’t make sense, but I can’t shake it.”
“It’s because of yesterday, honey,” Ross said, trying to comfort her. “Maybe you need a distraction. How about we go somewhere?”
“No, Ross,” Lucy replied. “I want to adopt her.”
“But honey!” Ross exclaimed. “Are you sure? We already have two newborns. A third would be a lot to manage!”
“I understand, but I can’t ignore this feeling,” Lucy insisted. “Can we please go to the hospital today?”
“Alright, if this is what you want,” Ross agreed. “I’m with you, but I just want to make sure it’s not too much for you.”
Ross eventually changed his mind when he met the baby. She had warm brown eyes with a hint of green and stared at him innocently. He couldn’t resist her charm.
“I’m so glad you’ve decided to adopt her,” Dr. Carter said. “She’s lucky to have found a loving family.”
“Well, doctor,” Lucy said, smiling, “after so much time trying for kids, we can’t ignore this chance now. Just let us know when we can bring her home.”
“As soon as the paperwork is ready,” Dr. Carter assured them.
In time, everything was arranged, and Lucy and Ross took the little girl home. They named her Amelia, and it felt like their family was finally complete.
Savannah often visited them to check in, grateful beyond words. She became a regular visitor, spending weekends with the twins, Sia and Mark, and Amelia.
