Chapter 7 - The Masterpiece of Patience

Carolyn looked at the dirty dishes piled high in the sink. She looked at her arrogant daughter lounging on the sofa. The urge to scream, to slap her, to kick her out onto the street right then and there was almost overwhelming.
But Carolyn was a woman who knew how to wait.
"I'll get to the dishes, Sarah," Carolyn said smoothly, walking toward the kitchen. "And I'll authorize the transfer for Greg tonight."
For three agonizing weeks, Carolyn played the perfect, submissive victim. She cooked their meals. She cleaned their messes. She endured Lily’s disrespectful comments and Greg’s toxic condescension. She watched them laugh at her behind her back, thinking they were the smartest people in the world, completely unaware that a massive federal net was closing tightly around their throats.
Behind the scenes, Mr. Evans and the authorities had tracked every single stolen penny. Greg’s offshore accounts weren't just bad investments—he was running a fully illegal Ponzi scheme, using Carolyn’s money as the seed capital.
Finally, the bank notified Carolyn that the investigation was complete. The federal warrants were signed.
