Upon questioning George Theodorakis in Chapter 20 of The Westing Game, Judge Ford and Sandy McSouthers learn of his history as Violet Westing's childhood sweetheart. Westing broke up the love affair, deeming George too working class and desiring that his daughter marry someone important. As punishment, she cut him out of her will. Years later, after George has become a successful attorney, he seeks out his former lover to ask for her hand in marriage. Violet refuses, but it turns out that she has made another will, this time leaving everything to George if they ever reunite. Filled with joy, George tells this to Sandy when she comes to see him for the first time since recovering from surgery.
