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.

Dad aggressively pointed a shaking finger at the glowing digital screen. “Do you honestly think a bunch of stupid numbers make you a powerful person?”

“No I do not think that but I do know that hard evidence gives me all the power.”

I tapped a single button to play the crystal clear audio recording from his recent visit to my office.

His panicked voice echoed loudly through the room saying his sons would lose their businesses and his daughter would lose her store while they lost their house.

Then my own recorded voice answered him by stating he should have considered that exact outcome before stealing from me.

Dad turned completely white and looked like he was about to pass out right there on the floor.

“Every single conference room in my corporate building records all meetings for security purposes,” I informed him.

Mother angrily swung her entire body toward him. “You specifically told all of us that she knew absolutely nothing about the missing money.”
