Chapter 15 - The Truth About The Family Bank
Before Kenneth reached the exit doors, Arthur Miller shouted one final, desperate threat across the echoing hall.
“If you walk out those doors right now, Kenneth, you are written out of our will forever!” Arthur bellowed.
Kenneth paused, turning his head slightly with a dry, humorless chuckle that reverberated through the space.
“What will, Dad? The one where you mortgaged the family home twice to bail Brenda out of gambling debts?”
“The only thing you’re leaving behind is a mountain of unpaid tax liens and debt collectors waiting at your door.”
Arthur’s jaw dropped in absolute shock, realizing that Kenneth knew far more about their secret finances than they thought.
“How... how could you possibly know about that?” Arthur stammered, losing his tyrannical composure entirely.
“Because your accountant called me last week asking if I would cover your impending bankruptcy filing,” Kenneth revealed.
“And I told him exactly what I’m telling you right now: find someone else to bleed dry.”
