Chapter 7 - The Confrontation

I drove to the expensive country club where Sarah spent her afternoons pretending to be rich.

I walked right past the valet and marched directly onto the outdoor dining patio.

Sarah was sitting with her wealthy friends, sipping a brightly colored cocktail.

When she saw my sling and my cheap thrift-store clothes, her face turned pale with sheer embarrassment.

I did not scream or cause a dramatic scene.

I calmly walked up to her table and dropped a thick folder directly onto her plate.

Her friends gasped as the folder popped open, revealing the foreclosure notices on her house.

I leaned in close so only she could hear my trembling voice.

I told her that if she did not drop the legal injunction by tomorrow, I would mail copies to everyone in town.

Sarah’s eyes filled with panicked tears as she realized her perfect social image was entirely shattered.

She whispered that I was a monster for doing this to my own flesh and blood.

I looked at her with absolutely zero pity in my soul.

I reminded her that she had watched her brother break my bones and did absolutely nothing.

I turned around and walked away, leaving her to face the judgmental stares of her elite friends.
