At Dad’s Will Reading, They Laughed And Called Me Worthless—Then My Son's... |Applewood Revenge

At my fathers will reading my own sister looked around the mahogany boardroom and said she will get nothing because dad always hated her. My uncle laughed so hard his leather chair shook adding that even her kid knows she is completely worthless. The men in expensive suits nodded in agreement as the family lawyer cracked open the sealed document ready to hand them an empire. Then my ten year old son stood up unzipped his backpack and said you forgot the video he recorded. The lawyer hit play and the entire room fell dead silent as the man they thought they buried started speaking from the grave. My name is Renee. I am thirty six years old and I work as a data risk analyst for a major insurance firm here in Chicago. Before I tell you exactly how that hidden video ripped away their masks and put them in federal handcuffs let me know where you are watching from in the comments below.

The air inside the Sterling and Partners law firm felt heavy and expensive. It was the kind of downtown Chicago high rise where the floor to ceiling windows overlooked the gray waters of Lake Michigan and the receptionists offered you sparkling water in crystal glasses before you even took off your winter coat. I held my son Trey tightly by the hand as a paralegal escorted us down the long quiet hallway and into the main conference room. Trey was a quiet boy just like me. At only ten years old he had already learned how to observe a room before stepping fully into it. That was a necessary survival skill in our family. The heavy glass door clicked shut behind us trapping us in a room that felt much more like an interrogation chamber than a place to mourn the passing of my father. Before I could even pull out a leather chair to sit down the attacks began. My younger sister Vanessa was already seated at the head of the long table sipping from a porcelain coffee cup. At thirty two years old Vanessa treated mourning like a high fashion runway show. She was draped in a custom black Chanel suit wearing oversized dark sunglasses indoors and sporting a fresh salon blowout that probably cost more than my weekly grocery budget. She looked me up and down her perfectly glossed lips curling into a cruel sneer that I had known since childhood. She sighed loudly making absolutely sure everyone in the quiet room heard her display of disgust. Are you seriously wearing a dress from Target to our fathers will reading Renee. She set her cup down with a sharp clink that echoed off the glass walls. I mean I know you gave up on looking presentable years ago but you could have at least tried to pretend you belong in this building. It is frankly embarrassing to look at you. I did not flinch and I did not lower my eyes. I was entirely used to this treatment. In the Wright family you were either flashy and loud or you were completely invisible. Our father Harrison Wright had built a massive commercial real estate empire on the South Side of Chicago starting with a single dilapidated storefront and expanding it into a multi million dollar kingdom. He was a proud self made black man who believed in showcasing his success.
