Chapter 13 - Sarah's Collapse
While I was sitting beside Lily’s bed, my daughter’s entire fake world was completely imploding.
Mark’s employer had officially discovered his massive embezzlement scheme.
The federal authorities raided their pristine suburban home while Sarah was hosting a brunch.
Mark was arrested in front of the entire neighborhood, crying like a coward.

Sarah was left standing on the sidewalk with nothing but a single suitcase of clothes.
She had no money, no husband, and no elite friends willing to answer her desperate calls.
She finally realized that her arrogant superiority was built on a fragile house of cards.
She took a cheap cab to my house, hoping to beg for forgiveness and a warm bed.
She found the front door locked and a large "For Sale" sign planted firmly in the front yard.

I had already listed my house on the market to move closer to Lily’s hospital.
Sarah sank onto the front steps and wept bitterly for the luxurious life she had permanently lost.
