Chapter 12 - Financial Secrets Begin To Surface Publicly

Kenneth wasn't finished exposing the rot that had sustained his family’s luxurious facade for over a decade.
He pulled his own smartphone from his pocket, tapping the screen to broadcast a document onto the massive projector wall.
“Since we’re sharing family secrets tonight, let’s talk about where Brenda’s lavish lifestyle actually comes from,” Kenneth said.
The projector screen flickered, displaying bank records showing repeated large transfers from Kenneth’s account to Brenda’s offshore debts.
“For five years, every luxury car Brenda drove, every designer handbag she wore, was funded by my construction overtime,” Kenneth revealed.
“She told everyone she was a successful freelance consultant, but she hasn't held a legitimate job since college.”
Brenda turned ghost white, lunging forward like a wild animal to try and rip the projector cords out of the wall.
Venue security intercepted her instantly, gently pinning her arms behind her back to prevent her from destroying the evidence.
“Let me go! He’s lying! Those documents are forged!” Brenda screamed, thrashing against the guards’ grip.

The assembled guests stared at Brenda with undisguised disgust, whispering about her massive, years-long financial fraud.
