Chapter 4 - The Tablet Screen
Beverly frowned, deeply confused by her daughter-in-law’s unnatural, chilling calm. "What are you doing? Are you calling my son? Because he will completely agree with me that this child needs discipline."
Audrey didn't pull out her smartphone to call her husband.
She pulled out a sleek, highly encrypted digital tablet that she used for her job. Audrey wasn't just a quiet housewife; she was a senior forensic accountant for a major corporate auditing firm.
Audrey tapped the screen a few times, unlocking a massive, highly classified financial file.
She turned the tablet around and shoved the glowing screen directly into Beverly’s face.
"You're obsessed with appearances, Beverly," Audrey stated flawlessly, completely bypassing the argument about the hair. "You love appearing like the wealthy, generous matriarch of this family. You love bragging at the country club about the massive charity trust fund you run for the community."
Beverly’s arrogant smirk completely vanished. The color violently drained from her perfectly contoured cheeks.
She stared at the tablet screen. It wasn't a picture of her charity. It was a deeply buried, hidden offshore banking ledger.
