I have not seen this kind of unnatural cruelty because she was denied access to properties.
They considered her a part of the family, her father and mother separated so she was staying with her stepmother then when her father died she was left with only her stepmother which did not want her close to the family again. They kept on secluding her in everything as she felt dejected and rejected.
It was a very sad moment for her. She didn't know what to do. She felt as if she was abandoned. She did not have who to run to. So she kept on saying to her friend and weeping.
Denying her assets of everything her father owns. And no one could intervene. This is such a cruel world where anything might happen. All forms of evil can exist.
