My parents announced at their wedding anniversary dinner: “We are going to Bahamas next week with the entire family for another party.” Everybody was happy. Then I asked them, what time is the departure? Dad replied, “You don’t know because you are not part of us. You can stay behind and take care of all the kids.” What I said next… nobody could believe.

Their collective arrogance was honestly almost completely impressive to witness in person.

I quietly grabbed a remote control and activated the massive wall mounted conference screen. A highly detailed financial spreadsheet immediately appeared for everyone in the room to clearly see.

“Over the course of four years,” I began explaining, “Dad illegally diverted corporate money while Cameron falsified his business expenses and Wyatt profited immensely from trust property while Madison submitted totally fake inventory invoices.”

Wyatt jumped out of his expensive leather chair. “That is an absolute lie and you know it.”

Carmen simply slid a copy of his legally binding signed lease agreement right across the table toward him.

He instantly lost his fake confidence and slowly sat back down.

Mother stared at me with wide eyes full of absolute disbelief. “Did you actually hire people to investigate your own flesh and blood?”

“No I did not do that at all. The professional auditors simply investigated random individuals who blatantly breached their legal corporate contracts.”
